Cancer and Libra Compatibility
Cancer and Libra compatibility: Cancer and Libra both want a loving partnership but seek it differently — Cancer through closeness and family, Libra through balance and company — so each must learn the other's idea of harmony. In Vedic matching, where the sign is the Moon sign, Cancer and Libra take 7.5 of the 12 points two Moon signs decide: Bhakoot 7 of 7 (the 4-10 axis) and Graha Maitri 0.5 of 5.
Libra appreciates Cancer's devotion and warmth; Cancer enjoys Libra's charm and gentleness. Both dislike harsh conflict and value romance, and together they can make a beautiful home.
Cancer loves by looking after: protective, sentimental and home-centred, with a long memory for hurts.
Libra loves through partnership itself: charming, fair-minded and conflict-averse, slow to choose.
Cancer feels Libra is too social or detached; Libra feels Cancer is too clingy or moody. Both are cardinal and want to lead in their own way, and both may avoid saying the hard thing.
Balance time at home with time out. Speak plainly when something is wrong, and agree on how decisions get made.
| Koota | Cancer and Libra |
|---|---|
| Moon signs | Cancer (Karka) and Libra (Tula) |
| Rashi lords | Moon and Venus |
| Bhakoot (of 7) | 7 — 4-10 axis |
| Graha Maitri (of 5) | 0.5 |
| The two together (of 12) | 7.5 |
The Moon signs are 4th and 10th from each other: Bhakoot gives its full 7 points.
Cancer is ruled by the Moon and Libra by Venus. The Moon counts Venus neutral, and Venus counts the Moon an enemy: Graha Maitri gives 0.5 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.

Air and water: head against heart; one analyses what the other simply feels.
Both cardinal: two initiators, each used to setting the direction.
Three signs apart (a square): different elements of the same modality, pushing against each other — friction that can drive growth.
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 reads a square as friction, while Vedic matching gives the same 4-10 spacing the full 7 Bhakoot points.
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 Libra 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 Libra Compatibility: Questions
Are Cancer and Libra compatible?
Cancer and Libra both want a loving partnership but seek it differently — Cancer through closeness and family, Libra through balance and company — so each must learn the other's idea of harmony. In Vedic matching, where the sign is the Moon sign, Cancer and Libra take 7.5 of the 12 points two Moon signs decide: Bhakoot 7 of 7 (the 4-10 axis) and Graha Maitri 0.5 of 5. A couple's own match needs both birth charts.
Is there Bhakoot dosha between Cancer and Libra?
No. The Moon signs are 4th and 10th from each other: Bhakoot gives its full 7 points. Bhakoot dosha needs the Moon signs 2 and 12, 6 and 8, or 5 and 9 apart.
What is the Cancer and Libra 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 Libra take 7.5 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.
