How many gunas do Kark and Mesh 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 Kark–Mesh combinations through the same engine our kundli matching uses. This is the result.

Overview
Kark and Mesh are a good match in Ashtakoot terms — typically 25 of 36 gunas. Fire and water are natural opposites — their passion can boil over or steam each other away. Real compatibility requires conscious effort and respect. Weighing how each Moon-sign ruler regards the other, the planetary-friendship koota (Graha Maitri) scores the Moon and Mars 4 of 5 — a warm bond, if not a fully mutual one, that still adds ease.

- Complementary energy — one acts, the other feels deeply
- Passion is rarely lacking in this union
Challenges

Planetary Analysis
Kark is ruled by the Moon and Mesh by Mars. 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.
