Simha and Dhanu Rashi Compatibility
Leo and Sagittarius by Moon sign · average Gun Milan 19.8 / 36
Simha and Dhanu are a moderately compatible pair, averaging 19.8 out of 36 whichever partner is the groom, with 70% of combinations at 18 or more. Their 5/9 Bhakoot dosha is commonly regarded as cancelled because the Sun and Jupiter are mutual friends, but Nadi dosha in 30% of combinations should be verified.

The Gun Milan picture for Simha and Dhanu
Vedic matching works from the Moon sign (rashi), so this page refers to Simha and Dhanu Moon signs, not Western Leo and Sagittarius sun signs. Scores range from 10 to 25.5, and 70% of combinations reach 18 or more. Nadi dosha appears in 30% of combinations.
Dhanu is fifth from Simha, a 5/9 position, which gives Bhakoot dosha just as 2/12 and 6/8 do (4/10, 7/7, 3/11 and 1/1 are fine). Bhakoot koota scores 0, which pulls the average down. However, Surya (Sun) and Guru (Jupiter) are mutual friends, and that is a standard reason to treat the dosha as cancelled.
Royal Fire meets philosophical Fire
Both are Fire signs, bringing warmth, confidence and generosity. Simha, ruled by the Sun, is proud, loyal and likes to lead. Dhanu, ruled by Jupiter, is idealistic, cheerful and drawn to learning and dharma. The Sun-Jupiter friendship gives a bond of mutual respect, often with shared values about honour and family.
Simha needs appreciation and can be hurt by Dhanu's blunt honesty. Dhanu needs freedom and can feel restricted if Simha becomes controlling. When Simha offers trust and Dhanu offers recognition, the relationship tends to be lively, generous and full of laughter.
Living together: practical matters
Both signs like to live well and are generous to others, so savings need deliberate attention. Simha may spend on status and comfort, Dhanu on travel, books or charity. A family budget with clear long-term goals, such as property or children's education, works well for them.
This couple usually enjoys hosting and is respected in social and family circles. Careers in administration, politics, teaching, law, management and creative fields suit them. Ego clashes over who decides are the main communication challenge, so dividing areas of responsibility helps.
Looking beyond the average
Because the score range is wide, the specific nakshatras matter. Check Nadi dosha for your pair and whether recognised exceptions apply, such as the same nakshatra in different padas or the same nakshatra lord. The Bhakoot cancellation should also be confirmed in the charts.
Also review Mangal Dosha, the 7th house and its lord, the Sun and Jupiter in both charts, and the Navamsha. The free Kundali Matching calculator on this site gives the exact score for a specific couple, and Pandit Sanjay Ji can provide a detailed consultation.
