♊︎ Gemini and Leo ♌︎
Scored on the four kootas that need only two rashis, and clear about the twenty-one points that need a birth time.
A solid middle. Nothing here obstructs; nothing here carries the match on its own. These are the four Ashtakoot kootas that two rashis are enough to work out: Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot. The other four need a birth time, and they are worth twenty-one points.
The four kootas
what each one foundIncompatible - Groom (Shudra) is lower than Bride (Kshatriya)
Predator-prey dynamic between Manava and Vanachara - Some friction possible
One friend, one neutral - Very good compatibility
Position 3/11 - Compatible Moon signs for emotional harmony
The count between them
Bhakoot, seven of the fifteenLeo sits 3th from Gemini in the rashi chakra. Bhakoot reads that distance and nothing else. Not the elements, and not the lords.
No Bhakoot caution at this distance. The seven points stand in full.
Both directions
Gun Milan is not symmetricChange the order of the two people and the score changes: Leo first scores 12.5, Gemini first scores 11.5. Varna compares the first person’s varna against the second’s, and Bhakoot counts from the first rashi, so the order is part of the question.
| Koota | Gemini first | Leo first | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Varna | 0/1 | 1/1 | moves |
| Vashya | 0.5/2 | 0.5/2 | — |
| Graha Maitri | 4/5 | 4/5 | — |
| Bhakoot | 7/7 | 7/7 | — |
| Total | 11.5/15 | 12.5/15 | differs |
Compared with the usual answer
element table vs kootasThe first bar is how nearly every compatibility page scores this pair: it looks up ten element pairings, which gives eight distinct answers for all 144 sign pairs. The second is four of the eight Ashtakoot kootas, which give 27. Neither is a reading, but only one of them can tell Gemini and Leo apart from Gemini and Aries.
What two signs cannot tell you
twenty-one pointsTwenty-one of the thirty-six points depend on the nakshatra, which is the Moon’s exact position at birth. The Moon moves through all 27 of them in under a month. No page that knows only two rashis can work them out, and any page that prints a “36-point score” from two sun signs is making twenty-one of them up.
Worth knowing
facts you can checkGraha Maitri scores 4 of 5 for that pairing alone: friend neutral. Every rashi pair with those two lords scores the same five points, so this koota is worth checking and not worth reading on its own.
That distance is the whole of Bhakoot, the largest koota at seven points. It is not one of the three cautioned distances, so the seven points stand.
The element table gives this pair 85%. The four rashi kootas give 11.5 out of 15 one way round and 12.5 the other.
Gemini with the others
the first rashi never changesFifteen points is where two rashis stop.
Gun Milan scores thirty-six across eight kootas and checks Mangal dosha on both charts. It needs two birth times, and it is free.
