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

Overview
Vrishchik and Kark are an average match in Ashtakoot terms — typically 18 of 36 gunas, held back by the Bhakoot dosha every combination of these two rashis carries. Two water signs dive deep into emotional intimacy, intuition, and empathy. Their bond is deeply felt but must guard against over-sensitivity. Weighing how each Moon-sign ruler regards the other, the planetary-friendship koota (Graha Maitri) scores Mars and the Moon 4 of 5 — a warm bond, if not a fully mutual one, that still adds ease.

Planetary Analysis
Vrishchik is ruled by Mars 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 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.
