Gemini (Mithuna) compatibility in Vedic astrology
How a Gemini Moon sign matches each of the twelve signs, scored on the four parts of guna milan that the Moon sign decides.
In Vedic astrology, compatibility is read from the Moon sign (rashi), not the Sun sign used in Western astrology. If you don’t know your Moon sign, find it here. The table reads his Moon sign as Gemini; the scores for two signs differ only in varna and vashya when you swap who is who.
| Her Moon sign | Bhakoot | Sign score | Overall |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aries Mesha | 3/11 | 8.5/15 | Mixed |
| Taurus Vrishabha | 2/12 (dwirdwadasha) | 6/15 | Mixed |

The Moon sign decides four of the eight kootas: varna (1 point), vashya (2), graha maitri (5) and bhakoot (7), so 15 of the 36 points. The other 21 (tara, yoni, gana and nadi, including the 8-point nadi koota) depend on the nakshatra, so they need birth details. Varna and vashya are read from the groom to the bride, as the texts do; graha maitri and bhakoot are the same either way.
Gemini with each sign
Gemini and Aries
A 3/11 relationship is favourable: the signs support each other’s efforts and gains. The rulers are Mercury and Mars: Mercury treats Mars as neutral, and Mars treats Mercury as an enemy. Varna 0/1 · vashya 1/2 · graha maitri 0.5/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Gemini and Taurus
A 2/12 relationship is bhakoot dosha. The tradition links it to strain over money and expenses. Because the two rulers are friends, many astrologers treat this bhakoot dosha as cancelled. The rulers are Mercury and Venus: Mercury treats Venus as a friend, and Venus treats Mercury as a friend. Varna 0/1 · vashya 1/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Gemini and Gemini
Both Moons in one sign: a shared emotional temperament. Bhakoot is full; check the nakshatras, since the same nakshatra raises other questions. Both signs are ruled by Mercury, the closest possible link between the rulers. Varna 1/1 · vashya 2/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Gemini and Cancer
A 2/12 relationship is bhakoot dosha. The tradition links it to strain over money and expenses. The rulers are Mercury and Moon: Mercury treats Moon as an enemy, and Moon treats Mercury as a friend. Varna 0/1 · vashya 0.5/2 · graha maitri 1/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Gemini and Leo
A 3/11 relationship is favourable: the signs support each other’s efforts and gains. The rulers are Mercury and Sun: Mercury treats Sun as a friend, and Sun treats Mercury as neutral. Varna 0/1 · vashya 0/2 · graha maitri 4/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Gemini and Virgo
A 4/10 relationship is favourable: home and work, comfort and duty, sit well together. Both signs are ruled by Mercury, the closest possible link between the rulers. Varna 0/1 · vashya 2/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Gemini and Libra
A 5/9 relationship is bhakoot dosha in the guna milan count, traditionally linked to concerns about children. Many astrologers treat 5/9 as mild, because 5 and 9 are trines. Because the two rulers are friends, many astrologers treat this bhakoot dosha as cancelled. The rulers are Mercury and Venus: Mercury treats Venus as a friend, and Venus treats Mercury as a friend. Varna 1/1 · vashya 2/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Gemini and Scorpio
A 6/8 relationship is the most serious bhakoot dosha, traditionally linked to quarrels, health and separation. The rulers are Mercury and Mars: Mercury treats Mars as neutral, and Mars treats Mercury as an enemy. Varna 0/1 · vashya 0/2 · graha maitri 0.5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Gemini and Sagittarius
Opposite signs (samasaptaka) face each other and complement each other; this is a favourable bhakoot. The rulers are Mercury and Jupiter: Mercury treats Jupiter as neutral, and Jupiter treats Mercury as an enemy. Varna 0/1 · vashya 1–2/2 · graha maitri 0.5/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Gemini and Capricorn
A 6/8 relationship is the most serious bhakoot dosha, traditionally linked to quarrels, health and separation. The rulers are Mercury and Saturn: Mercury treats Saturn as neutral, and Saturn treats Mercury as a friend. Varna 0/1 · vashya 0.5–1/2 · graha maitri 4/5 · bhakoot 0/7.

Gemini and Pisces
A 4/10 relationship is favourable: home and work, comfort and duty, sit well together. The rulers are Mercury and Jupiter: Mercury treats Jupiter as neutral, and Jupiter treats Mercury as an enemy. Varna 0/1 · vashya 0.5/2 · graha maitri 0.5/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
For a full match
Sign compatibility is a first look. A proper match counts all 36 gunas from both nakshatras, checks nadi and manglik dosha, and then compares the two charts. Match two birth charts, or read how the 36 gunas work.
