Cancer and Leo Compatibility
Cancer and Leo compatibility: Cancer and Leo are neighbours ruled by the Moon and the Sun: warm-hearted and loyal, they build a family-centred life when Leo's pride and Cancer's sensitivity are both handled with care. In Vedic matching, where the sign is the Moon sign, Cancer and Leo take 5 of the 12 points two Moon signs decide: Bhakoot 0 of 7 (the 2-12 axis) and Graha Maitri 5 of 5.
Leo enjoys being looked after by Cancer, and Cancer enjoys Leo's warmth, generosity and protective streak. Both love family life and celebrations. Cancer nurtures; Leo shines. Leo's protective streak suits Cancer's need for safety, and Cancer's devotion feeds Leo's need to be adored.
Cancer loves by looking after: protective, sentimental and home-centred, with a long memory for hurts.
Leo loves generously and wants to be seen doing it: warm, proud, loyal and hungry for appreciation.
Leo's need for attention can leave Cancer feeling neglected, and Cancer's moods make Leo feel unappreciated. Both have pride in different forms, and both can sulk. A careless word from Leo can hurt Cancer for weeks.
Leo should notice Cancer's quiet efforts; Cancer should praise Leo openly. Share the spotlight at home and in public. Celebrate family occasions together: both come alive at them.
| Koota | Cancer and Leo |
|---|---|
| Moon signs | Cancer (Karka) and Leo (Simha) |
| Rashi lords | Moon and Sun |
| Bhakoot (of 7) | 0 — 2-12 axis (dosha) |
| Graha Maitri (of 5) | 5 |
| The two together (of 12) | 5 |
The Moon signs are 2nd and 12th from each other (Dwirdwadash): Bhakoot gives 0. Tradition links this axis to money and daily expenses. The Moon and the Sun are friends with no enmity either way, a classical exception that eases the dosha; the 0 stays on the score.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Leo by the Sun. The Moon counts the Sun a friend, and the Sun counts the Moon a friend: Graha Maitri gives 5 of 5.
Bhakoot and Graha Maitri are the two kootas the Moon signs settle on their own and that read the same whichever partner is counted first. Varna and Vashya also read the signs but depend on who is the groom; Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi need both birth stars.

- Semi-sextile, 1 sign apart
Fire and water: heat against feeling; the passion is real, and so is the steam.
Cardinal and fixed: one starts and the other sustains, useful if neither tries to run the other.
Neighbouring signs (a semi-sextile): different elements side by side, each holding what the other lacks.
Sun-sign compatibility describes two signs, not two people: read it as the tradition's tendencies, and match two real charts with kundli matching.
Here they part. Western astrology treats neighbouring signs as a mild, minor link, while Vedic matching calls the same 2-12 spacing a Bhakoot dosha and scores it 0.
A Vedic sign is the Moon's sign in the sidereal zodiac; a Western sign is usually the Sun's, in the tropical zodiac. Your two signs are often different, so check which reading is about you.
Two signs are a starting point. Your own match reads both full birth charts — all 36 Guna Milan points, Manglik dosha and the 7th houses — so a Cancer and a Leo can score anywhere.
- Kundli matching by birth details: the full 36-point Guna Milan
- Compatibility by date of birth: Moon signs, nakshatras and the koota scores
- Matching by name, when birth times are not known
- Find your rashi: your Moon sign from your birth details
Cancer and Leo Compatibility: Questions
Are Cancer and Leo compatible?
Cancer and Leo are neighbours ruled by the Moon and the Sun: warm-hearted and loyal, they build a family-centred life when Leo's pride and Cancer's sensitivity are both handled with care. In Vedic matching, where the sign is the Moon sign, Cancer and Leo take 5 of the 12 points two Moon signs decide: Bhakoot 0 of 7 (the 2-12 axis) and Graha Maitri 5 of 5. A couple's own match needs both birth charts.
Is there Bhakoot dosha between Cancer and Leo?
Yes. The Moon signs are 2nd and 12th from each other (Dwirdwadash): Bhakoot gives 0. Tradition links this axis to money and daily expenses. The Moon and the Sun are friends with no enmity either way, a classical exception that eases the dosha; the 0 stays on the score.
What is the Cancer and Leo compatibility percentage?
No single percentage is honest for two signs. Of the 36 Guna Milan points, the two Moon signs alone decide 12, and Cancer and Leo take 5 of them. The other 24 depend on the two birth stars and, for 3 of them, on which partner is the groom, so kundli matching gives your own score.
Is my Western zodiac sign the same as my rashi?
Often not. A Western sign is usually the Sun's sign in the tropical zodiac; a rashi is the Moon's sign in the sidereal zodiac, and Vedic matching reads the rashi. The rashi calculator finds yours from your date, time and place of birth.
