Scorpio and Capricorn Compatibility
Scorpio and Capricorn compatibility: Scorpio and Capricorn are a powerful, ambitious and loyal pair: both serious and determined, they build security and influence together and trust each other deeply. In Vedic matching, where the sign is the Moon sign, Scorpio and Capricorn take 7.5 of the 12 points two Moon signs decide: Bhakoot 7 of 7 (the 3-11 axis) and Graha Maitri 0.5 of 5.
Capricorn respects Scorpio's strength and focus; Scorpio admires Capricorn's discipline. Both value loyalty and privacy, and the bond grows stronger over time. They are a strong team in business and family life, and both take promises seriously.
Scorpio loves all or nothing: intense, private and fiercely loyal, and slow to forgive a betrayal.
Capricorn loves by building: reserved, dutiful and ambitious, proving commitment through effort over years.
Both can be controlling and secretive, and Capricorn's reserve frustrates Scorpio's need for emotional depth. Both can hold a grudge.
Share feelings as well as plans. Agree who holds control in each area of life. Make time to relax together and to be open.
| Koota | Scorpio and Capricorn |
|---|---|
| Moon signs | Scorpio (Vrishchika) and Capricorn (Makara) |
| Rashi lords | Mars and Saturn |
| Bhakoot (of 7) | 7 — 3-11 axis |
| Graha Maitri (of 5) | 0.5 |
| The two together (of 12) | 7.5 |
The Moon signs are 3rd and 11th from each other: Bhakoot gives its full 7 points.
Scorpio is ruled by Mars and Capricorn by Saturn. Mars counts Saturn neutral, and Saturn counts Mars 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.
- Elements
- Water and Earth
- Modalities
- Fixed and Cardinal
- Aspect
- Sextile, 2 signs apart
Earth and water: water nourishes earth, so one brings feeling and the other gives it a steady shape.
Cardinal and fixed: one starts and the other sustains, useful if neither tries to run the other.
Two signs apart (a sextile): complementary elements and an easy, cooperative link.
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 the two systems agree. Western astrology counts a sextile among its easy aspects, and Vedic matching gives the same 3-11 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 Scorpio and a Capricorn 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
Scorpio and Capricorn Compatibility: Questions
Are Scorpio and Capricorn compatible?
Scorpio and Capricorn are a powerful, ambitious and loyal pair: both serious and determined, they build security and influence together and trust each other deeply. In Vedic matching, where the sign is the Moon sign, Scorpio and Capricorn take 7.5 of the 12 points two Moon signs decide: Bhakoot 7 of 7 (the 3-11 axis) and Graha Maitri 0.5 of 5. A couple's own match needs both birth charts.
Is there Bhakoot dosha between Scorpio and Capricorn?
No. The Moon signs are 3rd and 11th 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 Scorpio and Capricorn compatibility percentage?
No single percentage is honest for two signs. Of the 36 Guna Milan points, the two Moon signs alone decide 12, and Scorpio and Capricorn 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.
