Taurus and Cancer Compatibility
Taurus and Cancer compatibility: Taurus and Cancer are one of the zodiac's natural homemaking pairs: both want security, comfort and family, and they build a warm, protective life with deep loyalty on both sides. In Vedic matching, where the sign is the Moon sign, Taurus and Cancer 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.
Cancer feels safe with steady Taurus; Taurus feels cherished by Cancer's care. They share a love of home cooking, family gatherings and saving for the future. Affection is tender and physical, and both prefer commitment to games.
Taurus loves by staying: steady, sensual and loyal, slow to commit and slower still to let go.
Cancer loves by looking after: protective, sentimental and home-centred, with a long memory for hurts.
Cancer's moods puzzle Taurus, who handles feelings by staying calm and quiet — which Cancer may read as coldness. Both can cling to the past, and both can be possessive.
Taurus should put feelings into words now and then; Cancer should ask for reassurance rather than retreat. Keep friendships outside the home so the nest does not become a shell.
| Koota | Taurus and Cancer |
|---|---|
| Moon signs | Taurus (Vrishabha) and Cancer (Karka) |
| Rashi lords | Venus and Moon |
| 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.
Taurus is ruled by Venus and Cancer by the Moon. Venus counts the Moon an enemy, and the Moon counts Venus neutral: 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.

- 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 Taurus and a Cancer 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
Taurus and Cancer Compatibility: Questions
Are Taurus and Cancer compatible?
Taurus and Cancer are one of the zodiac's natural homemaking pairs: both want security, comfort and family, and they build a warm, protective life with deep loyalty on both sides. In Vedic matching, where the sign is the Moon sign, Taurus and Cancer 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 Taurus and Cancer?
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 Taurus and Cancer compatibility percentage?
No single percentage is honest for two signs. Of the 36 Guna Milan points, the two Moon signs alone decide 12, and Taurus and Cancer 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.
