Compatibility by Moon sign
Cancer Moon and Scorpio Moon: compatibility
Two water Moons with a deep bond: Cancer's care and Scorpio's intensity. They stand 5/9, the Bhakoot dosha is not cancelled, yet most nakshatra combinations reach 18.
The 36 gunas for these two Moon signs
| Kuta | Max | His Moon in Cancer, hers in Scorpio | His Moon in Scorpio, hers in Cancer |

| Combinations with 18+ | 70% | 90% |
Each Moon is placed in turn across every pada of its sign, and every combination is scored the way the bot scores a match. Varna, vashya, graha maitri and bhakoot follow the signs and barely move; tara, yoni, gana and nadi follow the nakshatras, which is why the totals are ranges.
Bhakoot: the Moons stand 5/9 from each other, which the classical table counts as Bhakoot dosha (0 of 7). The two sign lords are not friends, so JyotiSoft's default rules keep the dosha; the full match then looks at the whole charts.
This page shows the general picture for two Moon signs: one person in twelve shares each of these Moons. A real Kundli match needs both birth charts: the exact nakshatras, Mangal dosha, the 7th house and its lord, the navamsha and the running dashas. Two people with these Moons can land anywhere in the ranges above.

Emotional depth
Both Moons feel strongly and remember long. Cancer offers protection and devotion; Scorpio offers loyalty and passion. Mars counts the Moon as a friend, and graha maitri is good. They understand each other's silences and can build a very close, private relationship.
Where it rubs
The Moon does not return Mars' friendship, so the 5/9 Bhakoot dosha stays active under the default rules; its classical concern is children and shared values, worth discussing early. Both can be jealous and possessive; both can hold grudges. When hurt, Cancer withdraws into its shell and Scorpio goes cold, and a couple can live in that silence for days. What helps: a rule that silence never lasts past the next day, and openness about money and family obligations.
Trust
Trust is the whole foundation for this pair. Small things build it: answering messages, keeping promises, no hidden spending. Two water Moons are perceptive, so even small inconsistencies are felt. Openness costs little and protects a great deal.
