| Signs apart | Western aspect | Bhakoot axis | Bhakoot (of 7) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | Conjunction | 1-1 | 7 |
| 1 | Semi-sextile | 2-12 (dosha) | 0 |
| 2 | Sextile | 3-11 | 7 |
| 3 | Square | 4-10 | 7 |
| 4 | Trine | 5-9 (dosha) | 0 |
| 5 | Quincunx | 6-8 (dosha) | 0 |
| 6 | Opposition | 7-7 | 7 |
The two systems look at the same spacing between two signs and often disagree. Western astrology prizes the trine, four signs apart; Vedic matching scores that spacing, the 5-9 axis, at 0 Bhakoot points. A Western square, three signs apart, is a full-score 4-10 axis in Vedic matching.
Graha Maitri then asks how the two Moon signs' lords regard each other: 5 points when both are friends or one planet rules both signs, down to 0 when each counts the other an enemy.
Sun-sign compatibility describes two signs, not two people: read it as the tradition's tendencies, and match two real charts with kundli matching.
A Vedic sign is the Moon's sign (rashi) in the sidereal zodiac; a Western sign is usually the Sun's, in the tropical zodiac. Most people's two signs differ — find your rashi with the rashi calculator.
Zodiac Compatibility: Questions
Which zodiac signs are most compatible?
It depends on the system. Western astrology favours signs of the same element (trines) and complementary elements (sextiles and oppositions). Vedic matching scores the two Moon signs' spacing (Bhakoot) and their lords' friendship (Graha Maitri), and 17 of the 78 pairs take all 12 of those points; each pair's page shows its score.
How is zodiac compatibility calculated here?
Each pair page has a Western reading written for those two signs, and a Vedic reading computed by the same Ashtakoot engine our kundli matching uses: Bhakoot (7 points) and Graha Maitri (5 points), the two kootas the Moon signs decide on their own.
Is sun-sign compatibility accurate?
It describes tendencies of signs, not two real people, and no study has shown it predicts how a couple fares. For a real match, compare both birth charts with kundli matching.
Should I use my Sun sign or my Moon sign?
For the Western reading, your Sun sign; for the Vedic reading, your Moon sign (rashi). They are often different. The rashi calculator finds your Moon sign from your birth details.
