Dhanu Boy × Kark Girl:
Marriage Compatibility by Rashi
Dhanu (Sagittarius, धनु) and Kark (Cancer, कर्क) make a challenging rashi-level picture that the nakshatra kootas can still balance: of the 15 gunas decided by Moon signs alone, this pairing earns 4 of 13 (Vashya needs exact degrees). The remaining 21 gunas — Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi — depend on the exact nakshatras.
Varna (वर्ण)
0/1Natural temperament and ego balance
The Sagittarius boy's kshatriya varna sits below the Cancer girl's brahmin varna, so this koota scores 0 by the classical rule — a minor factor (1 of 36) that families rarely treat as decisive.
Vashya (वश्य)
—/2Mutual influence and adaptability
For this pairing Vashya depends on the exact degree of the Moon within Sagittarius or Cancer (the classical half-sign splits), so it needs the full birth details to settle.
Graha Maitri (ग्रह मैत्री)
4/5Mental wavelength and friendship
Sagittarius's lord is Jupiter and Cancer's lord is Moon; their planetary friendship earns 4/5 for mental wavelength.
Bhakoot (भकूट)
0/7Emotional bond and family growth
Sagittarius and Cancer fall in one of the classical 2/12, 5/9 or 6/8 positions, forming Bhakoot dosha (0/7). Classical texts describe clear exceptions — same-lord signs and strong Nadi agreement often soften it — which is exactly what the full chart check evaluates.
About the Bhakoot dosha: it is one of the most discussed doshas, and also one with well-known classical exceptions. Whether it applies in practice for a specific couple depends on the full charts — never conclude from rashi alone.
