In Vedic astrology, compatibility is read from the Moon sign. The most compatible zodiac signs are Gemini and Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces, Taurus and Aquarius, Libra and Capricorn, and Leo and Scorpio. In each pair, the ruling planets are close friends and the 2 signs sit in a lucky position to each other.
Zodiac sign is the English word for Rashi. In Vedic astrology, your Rashi is your Moon sign, the sign the Moon was in when you were born. Every sign on this page means a Moon sign. It is often different from the sign you read in daily horoscopes, so check yours first with the Moon Sign Calculator.

How Vedic Astrology Matches Zodiac Signs
Vedic astrology looks at 2 simple things when it compares 2 Moon signs:
- Whether the ruling planets of the 2 signs are friends, neutral or enemies.
- How far apart the 2 signs sit in the zodiac. Some distances help a relationship and others create friction.
When the 2 ruling planets are the same or close friends, an awkward distance matters much less. Astrologers call these 2 checks Graha Maitri and Bhakoot. They are part of Guna Milan, the 36-point method used to match couples before marriage. The full method also compares your birth stars (nakshatras), so 2 people with a hard sign match can still score well overall.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can 2 people with the same zodiac sign be compatible?
Yes. A couple with the same Moon sign shares the same ruling planet, so the partners usually understand each other well. An astrologer will still check that their birth stars are different, because the same birth star can cause problems in marriage matching.
Are opposite zodiac signs compatible?
Opposite signs often attract each other strongly in Vedic astrology. Aries and Libra, and Taurus and Scorpio, make good couples. Leo and Aquarius, and Cancer and Capricorn, find it harder, because Saturn does not get along with the Sun or the Moon.
Which zodiac sign is my soulmate?
No single zodiac sign is anyone's soulmate. The best sign match only shows that 2 people find it easy to get along. A deeper bond shows up in the full birth charts, especially in the 7th house, the house of marriage.
Should I use my Sun sign or Moon sign for compatibility?
Use your Moon sign. Vedic astrology reads the Moon sign for love and marriage matching, because the Moon shows your mind and feelings.
