Cancer & LeoKarka–Simha · கடகம்–சிம்மம்

Cancer (Karka) and Leo (Simha) are a naturally strong match in sidereal Vedic astrology — a compatibility of about 84%, read from the Moon signs rather than the sun signs Western astrology uses.

Elements: Water and Fire

Fire and water — steam or steam-out; passionate but volatile.

Temperaments: Movable and Fixed

Different modes balance each other — one starts, one steadies, one adapts.

The ruling planets

Cancer is ruled by Moon (Chandra) and Leo by Sun (Surya). The two are ruled by mutual friends, an easy natural sympathy.

How this reads in a real chart

Moon-sign compatibility is the opening line, not the whole story. A full Vedic match — Guna Milan — weighs the birth stars, the seventh house, Venus, Mars and the dashas running for each person. Two signs that look difficult on paper often work beautifully once the whole chart is read, and an "easy" pairing can hide friction the Moon signs never show.
