Taurus (Vrishabha) compatibility in Vedic astrology
How a Taurus 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 Taurus; 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 | 2/12 (dwirdwadasha) | 5/15 | Needs care |

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.
Taurus with each sign
Taurus and Aries
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 2/2 · graha maitri 3/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Taurus and Taurus
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.
Taurus and Gemini
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 1/1 · vashya 1/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Taurus and Cancer
A 3/11 relationship is favourable: the signs support each other’s efforts and gains. The rulers are Venus and Moon: Venus treats Moon as an enemy, and Moon treats Venus as neutral. Varna 0/1 · vashya 1/2 · graha maitri 0.5/5 · bhakoot 7/7.
Taurus and Leo
A 4/10 relationship is favourable: home and work, comfort and duty, sit well together. 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.
Taurus and Virgo
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 1/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Taurus and Libra
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 1/1 · vashya 1/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Taurus and Scorpio
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.
Taurus and Sagittarius
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 1–2/2 · graha maitri 0.5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Taurus and Capricorn
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 1–2/2 · graha maitri 5/5 · bhakoot 0/7.
Taurus and Aquarius
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 1/1 · vashya 1/2 · 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.
