How many gunas do Kanya and Kumbh get?
A rashi pair does not have a single guna score. Four of the eight kootas — Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot — are fixed by the two rashis; the other four — Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi — depend on each person's birth nakshatra. Each rashi spans nine nakshatra padas, so we ran all 162 Kanya–Kumbh combinations through the same engine our kundli matching uses. This is the result.

Planetary Analysis
Kanya is ruled by Mercury and Kumbh by Saturn. Graha Maitri, the planetary-friendship koota of Ashtakoot matching, reads the relationship between the two rulers in both directions and scores this pair 4 of 5. That is a high score, if short of the full 5, and it still lends goodwill to the partnership — misunderstandings are more easily resolved. Graha Maitri carries 5 of the 36 Ashtakoot points and depends only on the two Moon signs — one input to the match, not a verdict on it.
