Taurus and Scorpio compatibility
Two Moon signs fix 11–12 of the 36 gun milan points; depending on the nakshatras, the full score runs from 14.5 to 29.5. Every number is computed by our kundli-matching code — no guessed percentage.
Moon signs, not Sun signs
Most pages you find for “Taurus and Scorpio 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 Scorpio | Groom Scorpio, bride Taurus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| Vashya | 2 | 1 | 1 |
| Graha Maitri | 5 | 3 | 3 |
| Bhakoot | 7 | 7 | 7 |
| Fixed by the signs | 15 | 11 | 12 |
| Tara + yoni + gana + nadi (need nakshatras) | 21 | 3.5–17.5 | 3.5–17.5 |
| Full score — possible range | 36 | 14.5–28.5 | 15.5–29.5 |
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 Scorpio: the traditional reading
Element and nature
An earth Moon with a water Moon. Tradition counts this among the easy pairings of element: water nourishes earth, earth gives water a shape. Security and care tend to be shared values. Both signs are fixed (sthira): loyal and consistent, and also slow to give ground in a disagreement. (Taurus: earth, fixed; Scorpio: water, fixed.)
The lords' friendship
Taurus is ruled by Venus, Scorpio by Mars. In natural friendship Venus counts Mars as neutral, and Mars counts Venus as neutral — both neutral. That gives graha maitri 3 of 5, read as how easily the two minds meet.
Bhakoot: 1/7 (opposite signs, samasaptaka)
Each Moon sits seventh from the other — the house of partnership in both charts. Bhakoot gives the full 7; classical texts count the 1/7 relation among the favourable ones, read as mutual attraction and a natural sense of being a pair. (Scorpio is the 7th sign from Taurus, and Taurus the 7th from Scorpio.)
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, Scorpio is Brahmin. Varna is read one way — 1 point when the groom's varna is equal to or higher than the bride's — so it scores 0 when the groom's Moon is in Taurus and 1 when it is in Scorpio. Vashya groups: Taurus quadruped (chatushpad), Scorpio insect (keeta) — 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 Scorpio they come to 11–12. The other 21 (tara, yoni, gana, nadi) depend on the birth nakshatras — across every nakshatra these two signs can hold, they range 3.5–17.5. So the full score can be anywhere from 14.5 to 29.5. 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 – Vishakha; Rohini – Vishakha; Mrigashira – Anuradha. Every other pairing gets the full 8.
| Nakshatra | Vishakha | Anuradha | Jyeshtha |
|---|---|---|---|
| Krittika | 19.5(nadi) | 23.5 | 28.5 |
| Rohini | 14.5(nadi) | 27.5 | 22.5 |
| Mrigashira | 23.5 | 20.5(nadi) | 23.5 |
| Nakshatra | Krittika | Rohini | Mrigashira |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vishakha | 20.5(nadi) | 15.5(nadi) | 24.5 |
| Anuradha | 24.5 | 29.5 | 21.5(nadi) |
| Jyeshtha | 29.5 | 23.5 | 24.5 |
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 Scorpio compatible in Vedic astrology?
The signs alone cannot say. 11–12 of the 36 gun milan points are fixed by the two Moon signs (bhakoot relation: 1/7 (opposite signs, samasaptaka)); depending on the nakshatras, the full score can be anywhere from 14.5 to 29.5. 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.
