Moon-sign match · वृषभ & तुला
Taurus and Libra compatibility
Two Moon signs fix 6–7 of the 36 gun milan points; depending on the nakshatras, the full score runs from 9.5 to 25. Every number is computed by our kundli-matching code — no guessed percentage.
Moon signs, not Sun signs
Most pages you find for “Taurus and Libra 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 Taurus, bride Libra | Groom Libra, bride Taurus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| Vashya | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Graha Maitri | 5 | 5 | 5 |
| Bhakoot | 7 | 0 | 0 |
| Fixed by the signs | 15 | 7 | 6 |
| Tara + yoni + gana + nadi (need nakshatras) | 21 | 3.5–18 | 3.5–18 |
| Full score — possible range | 36 | 10.5–25 | 9.5–24 |
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 kundlisTaurus and Libra: the traditional reading
Element and nature
An earth Moon with an air Moon. Earth wants the plan, air wants the possibilities. Read well, one grounds and the other widens the view; the care point is that each may find the other either too fixed or too restless. One movable sign and one fixed: one likes to start things, the other to keep them going. (Taurus: earth, fixed; Libra: air, movable.)
The lords' friendship
Taurus and Libra share one lord, Venus. With the same lord, graha maitri gives the full 5 of 5 — tradition reads it as minds that work alike.
Bhakoot: 6/8 (shadashtaka)
The signs are sixth and eighth from each other. The standard table scores this relation (shadashtaka) 0 of 7, and it is the one the texts caution about most, reading it as friction in temperament. Read calmly, it names where patience will be needed — the whole charts say far more. (Libra is the 6th sign from Taurus, and Taurus the 8th from Libra.)
The texts list an exception here: when both signs have the same lord (Venus), the bhakoot dosha is considered cancelled. The score still shows 0 — as in our full kundli matching, the exception is flagged, not added to the points.
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): Taurus is Vaishya, Libra is Shudra. 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 Taurus and 0 when it is in Libra. Vashya groups: Taurus quadruped (chatushpad), Libra human (manav) — 1 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 Taurus and Libra they come to 6–7. The other 21 (tara, yoni, gana, nadi) depend on the birth nakshatras — across every nakshatra these two signs can hold, they range 3.5–18. So the full score can be anywhere from 9.5 to 25. 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: Krittika – Swati; Krittika – Vishakha; Rohini – Swati; Rohini – Vishakha; Mrigashira – Chitra. Every other pairing gets the full 8.
| Nakshatra | Chitra | Swati | Vishakha |
|---|---|---|---|
| Krittika | 23.5 | 12.5(nadi) | 15.5(nadi) |
| Rohini | 20 | 14.5(nadi) | 10.5(nadi) |
| Mrigashira | 13(nadi) | 25 | 19.5 |
| Nakshatra | Krittika | Rohini | Mrigashira |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chitra | 22.5 | 19 | 12(nadi) |
| Swati | 11.5(nadi) | 14.5(nadi) | 24 |
| Vishakha | 14.5(nadi) | 9.5(nadi) | 18.5 |
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 Taurus and Libra compatible in Vedic astrology?
The signs alone cannot say. 6–7 of the 36 gun milan points are fixed by the two Moon signs (bhakoot relation: 6/8 (shadashtaka)); depending on the nakshatras, the full score can be anywhere from 9.5 to 25. 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.
