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

Overview
Makar and Vrishchik are an average match in Ashtakoot terms — typically 22 of 36 gunas. Earth and water nourish each other. Stability meets depth — a pairing built for emotional and material growth over time. Weighing how each Moon-sign ruler regards the other, the planetary-friendship koota (Graha Maitri) scores Saturn and Mars only 0.5 of 5 — the planetary tension calls for conscious awareness.

Planetary Analysis
Makar is ruled by Saturn and Vrishchik 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 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.
