Taurus and Cancer Compatibility for Marriage
A rashi (Moon sign) compatibility guide for Taurus and Cancer, based on the four Ashtakoot factors that can be checked from Moon sign alone.
Taurus
Earth sign
Taurus natives tend to be steady, comfort-loving, and slow to change course once settled.
Cancer
Water sign
Cancer natives tend to be emotionally deep, protective of home and family, and intuitive.
Varna Koota — spiritual compatibility
Taurus belongs to the Vaishya varna and Cancer belongs to the Brahmin varna. Traditionally, this koota checks whether the groom's varna rank is equal to or higher than the bride's. If Taurus is the groom, it scores 0/1; if Cancer is the groom, it scores 1/1.
Vashya Koota — mutual attraction
Taurus falls in the Quadruped group and Cancer falls in the Water group. This pairing scores 1/2 for Vashya, which reflects how naturally the two personalities tend to influence and accommodate one another.
Graha Maitri — planetary friendship
Taurus is ruled by Venus and Cancer is ruled by Moon. These sign lords are natural planetary enemies, giving a Graha Maitri score of 0.5/5 — one of the more heavily weighted factors in the full 36-guna system.
Bhakoot Koota — dosha check
Taurus and Cancer do not have Bhakoot Dosha between them, so this koota scores the full 7/7.
Based on Moon sign alone: 8.5–9.5 out of 15
That covers only 4 of the 8 Ashtakoot factors. Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadiall depend on the Moon's exact nakshatra, and the Manglik (Mangal Dosha)check depends on the Ascendant — neither can be worked out from Moon sign alone. Both need each partner's exact birth date, time and place.
