Moon sign compatibility · Often below 18 on Moon signs alone
Taurus and Sagittarius Moon Sign Compatibility
With the groom's Moon in Taurus and the bride's in Sagittarius, classical guna milan can land anywhere from 8.5 to 20 of 36. Across the 81 combinations of birth-star quarters the two signs allow, the average is 15.5. Only 37% of combinations reach 18, so on Moon signs alone this pairing more often lands below the traditional mark than above it. That describes two Moon positions, not two people.
Here the groom's Moon is in Taurus and the bride's in Sagittarius. Two kutas — Varna and Gana — are scored from the groom's side, so the reverse pairing has its own page. Groom Sagittarius, bride Taurus → हिंदी में पढ़ें
The four sign-level kutas contribute 2.5 of 15, and Bhakoot's zero accounts for most of the gap; the birth stars supply the other 6–17.5.
What the two signs settle
Four kutas compare the signs themselves, so they come out the same for every Taurus–Sagittarius couple.
- Varna — 0/1. Taurus is classed Vaishya and Sagittarius Kshatriya. The convention withholds the point when the bride's class ranks higher — swap the partners and it would score 1. Varna is the lightest and most dated of the kutas; the classes describe disposition here, not social standing.
- Vashya — 2/2. Both signs fall in the quadruped vashya group, which earns the full 2. Some texts split Sagittarius and Capricorn across two groups by half-sign; this site uses one group per sign, so other calculators can differ by up to a point here.
- Graha Maitri — 0.5/5. Venus (lord of Taurus) and Jupiter (lord of Sagittarius) are neutral one way and hostile the other, worth 0.5 of 5.
- Bhakoot — 0/7. Sagittarius is the 8th sign from Taurus, and Taurus the 6th from Sagittarius — a 6/8 relationship, one of the three positions (2/12, 5/9, 6/8) that score zero. That zero is what is called bhakoot dosha. The usual softening — sign lords that are friends both ways — does not apply: Venus is neutral towards Jupiter.
What depends on the birth stars
Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi are read from the two birth stars (nakshatras), not the signs. A Taurus Moon can be in the last three padas of Krittika, Rohini or the first two padas of Mrigashira; a Sagittarius Moon in Mula, Purva Ashadha or the first pada of Uttara Ashadha.
- Tara (1.5–3 of 3). Full 3 in 19 of 81 combinations (23%); never below 1.5, because at least one direction of the birth-star count always lands on a favourable tara. The low end comes with, for example, the groom's Moon in Rohini and the bride's in Mula.
- Yoni (0–3 of 4). No nakshatra in one sign shares a yoni animal with any in the other, so the full 4 is out of reach. It drops to 0 for the traditional enemy animals, such as Krittika (sheep) with Purva Ashadha (monkey) — 18 combinations in all.
- Gana (0–6 of 6). In Taurus, Krittika is rakshasa; Rohini is manushya; Mrigashira is deva. In Sagittarius, Mula is rakshasa; Purva Ashadha and Uttara Ashadha are manushya. Gana scores 6 in 52% of combinations and 0 in 38%. The commonest pairing is a manushya groom with a manushya bride (20 of 81).
- Nadi (0–8 of 8). 15 of 81 combinations (19%) share a nadi and score 0 — nadi dosha — for example Mrigashira with Purva Ashadha. None of them meets the usual classical cancellations.
How the 81 combinations score
| Score | Share | Of 81 |
|---|---|---|
| Under 12 | 9% | 7 |
| 12 – 17½ | 54% | 44 |
| 18 – 23½ | 37% | 30 |
| 24 – 29½ | 0% | 0 |
| 30 – 36 | 0% | 0 |
The highest score, 20, comes with the groom's Moon in Rohini and the bride's in Purva Ashadha; the lowest, 8.5, with Krittika and Uttara Ashadha, where Nadi and Gana score zero.
Sagittarius is 8th from Taurus (6/8)
Where it tends to work
- Signs six and eight apart see the world very differently, which can make each the other's honest outside view.
- 6/8 pairs often divide responsibilities well: what one partner finds draining, the other tends to find routine.
Where it asks for effort
- 6/8 (shadashtak) is the Bhakoot position tradition cautions about most, linking it to friction and to health concerns. The texts describe a tendency; they do not predict events.
- Daily rhythms and ways of handling stress tend to differ, so the friction is usually about method more than goals.
Element and ruling planets
Fire (Sagittarius) and earth (Taurus) run at different speeds: one starts things, the other finishes them. When it works it is productive; when it doesn't, one partner feels hurried and the other held back. Element is not one of the eight kutas, so treat this as colour, not score.
Taurus is ruled by Venus and Sagittarius by Jupiter. Venus-ruled Moons tend to look for ease, comfort and pleasantness; Jupiter-ruled Moons tend to steady themselves through principle, meaning and generosity. By nature Venus regards Jupiter as neutral, and Jupiter regards Venus as an enemy. The relationship is lopsided — one lord warmer than the other — a pattern Graha Maitri marks down without zeroing.
What this page can’t tell you
All of this comes from two Moon positions and nothing else. Guna milan does not see the ascendant, the 7th house, Venus, Mars or the dashas either person is running — and it cannot see how two people handle money, conflict or family. Real matching needs both birth charts; better still, it needs a conversation.

Common questions
Is a Taurus Moon groom compatible with a Sagittarius Moon bride?
By guna milan alone, the score for this pairing ranges from 8.5 to 20 of 36, averaging 15.5, and 37% of nakshatra combinations reach the conventional 18. That is a statement about two Moon positions. Real compatibility depends on both full charts and, far more, on the two people — use it as a first look, not a decision.
Is there bhakoot dosha between Taurus and Sagittarius?
Yes. Sagittarius is 8th from Taurus, a 6/8 relationship, so Bhakoot scores 0 for every couple in this pairing. The usual softening — sign lords that are friends both ways — is not met. It is a traditional caution, not a prediction.
How likely is nadi dosha for this pair?
19% — 15 of the 81 combinations share a nadi. It depends entirely on the two birth stars, so only the exact nakshatras can tell you.
Does it matter which partner is Taurus?
A little. Varna and Gana are scored from the groom's side, so if the bride is Taurus and the groom Sagittarius the range becomes 9.5–21 with an average of 16.4 (against 15.5 here). For a same-gender couple the order shifts the total by at most a point or two.
Which nakshatras give the best result?
For this pairing the top combination is a groom with Moon in Rohini and a bride with Moon in Purva Ashadha, scoring 20. But no nakshatra is a good or bad one to marry; the useful step is finding your own two — the nakshatra calculator does it in seconds — and then matching the full charts.
