Libra (Tula) compatibility in Vedic astrology
How a Libra 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 Libra; 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 | 1/7, opposite signs | 11/15 | Good |
| Taurus Vrishabha | 6/8 (shadashtaka) | 6/15 | Mixed |
| Gemini Mithuna | 5/9 (navapanchama) | 8/15 | Mixed |
| Cancer Karka | 4/10 | 8/15 | Mixed |
| Leo Simha | 3/11 | 7/15 | Mixed |
| Virgo Kanya | 2/12 (dwirdwadasha) | 7/15 | Mixed |
| Libra Tula | same sign | 15/15 | Very good |

| Sagittarius Dhanu | 3/11 | 8.5–9.5/15 | Mixed |
| Capricorn Makara | 4/10 | 12.5–13/15 | Very good |

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.
Libra with each sign
Libra and Aries
Opposite signs (samasaptaka) face each other and complement each other; this is a favourable bhakoot. The rulers are Venus and Mars: Venus treats Mars as neutral, and Mars treats Venus as neutral. Varna 0/1 · vashya 1/2 · graha maitri 3/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Libra and Taurus
A 6/8 relationship is the most serious bhakoot dosha, traditionally linked to quarrels, health and separation. Because both signs share one ruler, many astrologers treat this bhakoot dosha as cancelled. Both signs are ruled by Venus, the closest possible link between the rulers. Varna 0/1 · vashya 1/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Libra and Gemini
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 Venus and Mercury: Venus treats Mercury as a friend, and Mercury treats Venus as a friend. Varna 1/1 · vashya 2/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Libra and Cancer
A 4/10 relationship is favourable: home and work, comfort and duty, sit well together. The rulers are Venus and Moon: Venus treats Moon as an enemy, and Moon treats Venus as neutral. Varna 0/1 · vashya 0.5/2 · graha maitri 0.5/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Libra and Leo
A 3/11 relationship is favourable: the signs support each other’s efforts and gains. The rulers are Venus and Sun: Venus treats Sun as an enemy, and Sun treats Venus as an enemy. Varna 0/1 · vashya 0/2 · graha maitri 0/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Libra and Virgo
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 Venus and Mercury: Venus treats Mercury as a friend, and Mercury treats Venus as a friend. Varna 0/1 · vashya 2/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Libra and Libra
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 Venus, the closest possible link between the rulers. Varna 1/1 · vashya 2/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Libra and Scorpio
A 2/12 relationship is bhakoot dosha. The tradition links it to strain over money and expenses. The rulers are Venus and Mars: Venus treats Mars as neutral, and Mars treats Venus as neutral. Varna 0/1 · vashya 0/2 · graha maitri 3/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Libra and Sagittarius
A 3/11 relationship is favourable: the signs support each other’s efforts and gains. The rulers are Venus and Jupiter: Venus treats Jupiter as neutral, and Jupiter treats Venus as an enemy. Varna 0/1 · vashya 1–2/2 · graha maitri 0.5/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Libra and Capricorn
A 4/10 relationship is favourable: home and work, comfort and duty, sit well together. The rulers are Venus and Saturn: Venus treats Saturn as a friend, and Saturn treats Venus as a friend. Varna 0/1 · vashya 0.5–1/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Libra and Aquarius
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 Venus and Saturn: Venus treats Saturn as a friend, and Saturn treats Venus as a friend. Varna 1/1 · vashya 2/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Libra and Pisces
A 6/8 relationship is the most serious bhakoot dosha, traditionally linked to quarrels, health and separation. The rulers are Venus and Jupiter: Venus treats Jupiter as neutral, and Jupiter treats Venus as an enemy. Varna 0/1 · vashya 0.5/2 · graha maitri 0.5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
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.
