How many gunas do Makar 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 Makar–Kumbh combinations through the same engine our kundli matching uses. This is the result.
18 or more gunas (the traditional minimum)
in 84% of combinations

Overview
Makar and Kumbh are an average match in Ashtakoot terms — typically 20 of 36 gunas, held back by the Bhakoot dosha every combination of these two rashis carries. A unique elemental pairing requiring mutual understanding and respect. Both Moon signs share one ruler, Saturn, so the planetary-friendship koota (Graha Maitri) scores its full 5 of 5 — the bond is one of shared nature rather than negotiation.

Planetary Analysis
Makar and Kumbh are both ruled by Saturn, so Graha Maitri, the planetary-friendship koota of Ashtakoot matching, gives this pair its full 5 of 5. A shared ruler creates an inherent understanding of each other's drives and motivations, though this shared energy can amplify both the strengths and blind spots of the pairing. 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.
