Leo and Virgo compatibility
Two Moon signs fix 4–5 of the 36 gun milan points; depending on the nakshatras, the full score runs from 7.5 to 24. Every number is computed by our kundli-matching code — no guessed percentage.
Moon signs, not Sun signs
Most pages you find for “Leo and Virgo compatibility” are about Western Sun signs — the Sun's sign on your birthday, in the tropical zodiac — and many add a percentage no rule produces. This page uses the Vedic Moon sign (rashi): the sign the Moon was in at birth, in the sidereal (Lahiri) zodiac. For most people the two are different signs, and gun milan is built on the Moon sign and nakshatra.
The points the signs fix
| Koota | Max | Groom Leo, bride Virgo | Groom Virgo, bride Leo |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Vashya | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Graha Maitri | 5 | 4 | 4 |
| Bhakoot | 7 | 0 | 0 |
| Fixed by the signs | 15 | 5 | 4 |
| Tara + yoni + gana + nadi (need nakshatras) | 21 | 3.5–19 | 3.5–19 |
| Full score — possible range | 36 | 8.5–24 | 7.5–23 |
Traditional gun milan reads some kootas (varna, gana) from the groom's side to the bride's, so both directions are shown. The ranges come from running every nakshatra these two signs can hold (and both vashya halves of Sagittarius and Capricorn) through our kundli-matching code.

Match two kundlisLeo and Virgo: the traditional reading
Element and nature
A fire Moon with an earth Moon. Tradition pairs fire's drive with earth's patience: one starts, the other sustains. The friction, when it comes, is over speed — one wants to move now, the other wants to be sure. One fixed sign and one dual: steadiness on one side, flexibility on the other. (Leo: fire, fixed; Virgo: earth, dual.)
The lords' friendship
Leo is ruled by Sun, Virgo by Mercury. In natural friendship Sun counts Mercury as neutral, and Mercury counts Sun as a friend — friend and neutral. That gives graha maitri 4 of 5, read as how easily the two minds meet.
Bhakoot: 2/12 (dvirdvadasha)
The signs are second and twelfth from each other. In the standard table this relation (dvirdvadasha) scores 0 of 7; tradition links it with differences over money and spending. It is a point to talk through, not a verdict. (Virgo is the 2nd sign from Leo, and Leo the 12th from Virgo.)
Varna and vashya
Varna follows the Moon sign's element (water Brahmin, fire Kshatriya, earth Vaishya, air Shudra — classical labels for temperament, not the person's caste): Leo is Kshatriya, Virgo is Vaishya. Varna is read one way — 1 point when the groom's varna is equal to or higher than the bride's — so it scores 1 when the groom's Moon is in Leo and 0 when it is in Virgo. Vashya groups: Leo wild (vanachar), Virgo human (manav) — 0 of 2.
What stays unknown without the nakshatras
Of the 36 points, 15 (varna, vashya, graha maitri, bhakoot) are fixed by the two Moon signs alone; for Leo and Virgo they come to 4–5. The other 21 (tara, yoni, gana, nadi) depend on the birth nakshatras — across every nakshatra these two signs can hold, they range 3.5–19. So the full score can be anywhere from 7.5 to 24. Some nakshatra pairings fall below the traditional line of 18 and some clear it — so the signs alone cannot answer the question.
Nadi (8 points) is the heaviest koota and depends entirely on the nakshatras. Between these signs, these nakshatra pairings share a nadi and score 0 for it: Purva Phalguni – Chitra; Uttara Phalguni – Uttara Phalguni; Uttara Phalguni – Hasta. Every other pairing gets the full 8.
| Nakshatra | Uttara Phalguni | Hasta | Chitra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magha | 16.5 | 17.5 | 22.5 |
| Purva Phalguni | 24 | 21.5 | 8.5(nadi) |
| Uttara Phalguni | 18(nadi) | 16(nadi) | 14.5 |
| Nakshatra | Magha | Purva Phalguni | Uttara Phalguni |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uttara Phalguni | 15.5 | 23 | 17(nadi) |
| Hasta | 16.5 | 21.5 | 16(nadi) |
| Chitra | 21.5 | 7.5(nadi) | 13.5 |
Tradition takes 18 or more as acceptable; cells below 18 are shown lighter. The number alone decides nothing — the exceptions, both whole charts and, above all, the two people matter.
Frequently asked questions
Are Leo and Virgo compatible in Vedic astrology?
The signs alone cannot say. 4–5 of the 36 gun milan points are fixed by the two Moon signs (bhakoot relation: 2/12 (dvirdvadasha)); depending on the nakshatras, the full score can be anywhere from 7.5 to 24. For the exact score, match both birth charts.
Why do other sites give a compatibility percentage?
No rule of gun milan produces a percentage for a pair of signs. We show only what the calculation gives: the points the signs fix, and the range of the points that depend on the nakshatras.
Is this about Sun signs?
No. This uses the Vedic Moon sign — the Moon's sign at birth, sidereal (Lahiri). Find yours with the free kundli or the rashi calculator.
