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

Overview
Kumbh and Kark are a challenging match in Ashtakoot terms — typically 15 of 36 gunas, below the 18 usually asked for, mainly because every combination carries Bhakoot dosha. Air and water can be stirring or turbulent. Intellect meets intuition, creating fascinating but sometimes unsettled dynamics. Weighing how each Moon-sign ruler regards the other, the planetary-friendship koota (Graha Maitri) scores Saturn and the Moon only 0.5 of 5 — the planetary tension calls for conscious awareness.

Planetary Analysis
Kumbh is ruled by Saturn and Kark by the Moon. Graha Maitri, the planetary-friendship koota of Ashtakoot matching, reads the relationship between the two rulers in both directions and scores this pair 0.5 of 5. That is a low score: the planetary tension may surface as differences in approach and values, so conscious effort to appreciate each other's perspective is especially important. 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.
