Sagittarius + Libra compatibility
Updated
How do Sagittarius and Libra sit together as Vedic moon signs? Four of the eight Guna Milan kootas can be read from the signs alone — the lords’ friendship, Vashya, Bhakoot and Varna — and at that level this pairing is mixed at the sign level — some factors flow, some ask for effort. Here is each factor, using the same classical tables the app computes with.

Graha Maitri — how the two minds meet (5 points)
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter and Libra by Venus; the two lords are natural adversaries in the classical tables, which asks for more conscious effort in how the two minds meet. On the classical scoring this gives 0.5 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 11th sign from Sagittarius, and Sagittarius the 3rd 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. Sagittarius belongs to the Manava group and Libra to the Manava group, scoring 2 of 2. Varna assigns each sign a rank by element (Sagittarius is Kshatriya, Libra is Shudra); it is a directional 1-point check — read from Sagittarius’s side it gives 1, from Libra’s side 0. Both are light factors beside Graha Maitri and Bhakoot.
Elements and temperament
Sagittarius is a dual fire 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 Sagittarius and Libra moon signs compatible?
At the sign level, this pairing is mixed at the sign level — some factors flow, some ask for effort: of the 15 sign-based gunas it scores 10 (Graha Maitri 0.5/5, Vashya 2/2, 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 Sagittarius and Libra?
No — counted from each other these signs form a 11/3 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.
