Capricorn + Libra compatibility

Graha Maitri — how the two minds meet (5 points)

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn and Libra by Venus; the two lords are natural friends in the classical friendship tables, an easy mental rapport. On the classical scoring this gives 5 of 5 points. Because the Moon stands for the mind in Jyotish, this koota is read as the ease of mental and emotional understanding between the two people.

Bhakoot — the sign-to-sign count (7 points)

Counted around the zodiac, Libra is the 10th sign from Capricorn, and Capricorn the 4th from Libra. That is not one of the three dosha patterns (2–12, 5–9 or 6–8), so Bhakoot scores its full 7 points — the heaviest sign-level factor in this pairing’s favour.

Vashya and Varna — the smaller sign factors (3 points)

Vashya groups the signs into five classical classes and asks how naturally the two classes get on. Capricorn belongs to the Jalachara group and Libra to the Manava group, scoring 1 of 2. Varna assigns each sign a rank by element (Capricorn is Vaishya, Libra is Shudra); it is a directional 1-point check — read from Capricorn’s side it gives 1, from Libra’s side 0. Both are light factors beside Graha Maitri and Bhakoot.

Elements and temperament

Capricorn is a movable earth sign and Libra a movable air sign. These classical groupings sit outside the point system but colour how the scored factors play out day to day.

The other 21 points need your nakshatras

Tara (3), Yoni (4), Gana (6) and Nadi (8) — 21 of the 36 gunas — depend on each person’s birth nakshatra, not just the sign, which is why two couples with the same moon signs can match very differently. A full Guna Milan takes both people’s date, time and place of birth; the app computes it in your browser and explains every koota in plain language.

Frequently asked

Are Capricorn and Libra moon signs compatible?

At the sign level, this pairing leans supportive at the sign level: of the 15 sign-based gunas it scores 13.5 (Graha Maitri 5/5, Vashya 1/2, Bhakoot 7/7). The other 21 of the 36 gunas depend on the two birth nakshatras, so a full Guna Milan needs complete birth details.

Is there Bhakoot dosha between Capricorn and Libra?

No — counted from each other these signs form a 10/4 relationship, which is not one of the three dosha patterns (2–12, 5–9, 6–8), so Bhakoot scores its full 7 points.

Is sign compatibility the same as Kundali matching?

No — it is the coarse half. Four of the eight kootas (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri, Bhakoot — 15 of 36 points) depend only on the moon signs and are shown here. The other four (Tara, Yoni, Gana, Nadi — 21 points) need each person’s birth nakshatra, which is why a proper match uses full birth details.
