Sagittarius (Dhanu) compatibility in Vedic astrology
How a Sagittarius 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 Sagittarius; the scores for two signs differ only in varna and vashya when you swap who is who.

|---|---|---|---|
| Aries Mesha | 5/9 (navapanchama) | 7–8/15 | 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.
Sagittarius with each sign
Sagittarius and Aries
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 Jupiter and Mars: Jupiter treats Mars as a friend, and Mars treats Jupiter as a friend. Varna 1/1 · vashya 1–2/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Sagittarius and Taurus
A 6/8 relationship is the most serious bhakoot dosha, traditionally linked to quarrels, health and separation. The rulers are Jupiter and Venus: Jupiter treats Venus as an enemy, and Venus treats Jupiter as neutral. Varna 1/1 · vashya 1–2/2 · graha maitri 0.5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Sagittarius and Gemini
Opposite signs (samasaptaka) face each other and complement each other; this is a favourable bhakoot. The rulers are Jupiter and Mercury: Jupiter treats Mercury as an enemy, and Mercury treats Jupiter as neutral. Varna 1/1 · vashya 1–2/2 · graha maitri 0.5/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Sagittarius and Cancer
A 6/8 relationship is the most serious bhakoot dosha, traditionally linked to quarrels, health and separation. The rulers are Jupiter and Moon: Jupiter treats Moon as a friend, and Moon treats Jupiter as neutral. Varna 0/1 · vashya 0.5–1/2 · graha maitri 4/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Sagittarius and Leo
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 Jupiter and Sun: Jupiter treats Sun as a friend, and Sun treats Jupiter as a friend. Varna 1/1 · vashya 0/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Sagittarius and Virgo
A 4/10 relationship is favourable: home and work, comfort and duty, sit well together. The rulers are Jupiter and Mercury: Jupiter treats Mercury as an enemy, and Mercury treats Jupiter as neutral. Varna 1/1 · vashya 1–2/2 · graha maitri 0.5/5 · bhakoot 7/7.

Sagittarius and Sagittarius
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 Jupiter, the closest possible link between the rulers. Varna 1/1 · vashya 1–2/2 · graha maitri 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.
