There are conflicting rules under this agreement.
Rule: Boy’s star should preferably be beyond 7th or 9th or 13th or 15th. So there are 4 different views. All of them have their own explanations in support of this. The principle is to see the distance between the boy’s natal Moon and the girl’s natal Moon. The farther the distance the better is the compatibility. This may be overlooked if Rasi Kuta and Graha Maitram are present. Such exceptions are also listed separately under a separate heading.
In our example the boy’s Nakshatra is the 8th from that of the girl. According to one rule as it is beyond 7th, we can say that Stree Deergha agreement is present.
7.5. Yoni:
Yoni means the female sexual organ. The Nakshatras are divided into male and female energies. Male is the more active and dynamic one while the female is a passive one. Each Nakshatra is also given a class of animal as per the table given above (See the Classification of Nakshatras). Here also there are two views. Some include a third class other than male and female – Eunuch. The Nakshatras Mrigasirsha, Mula and Satabhisha are considered as Eunuch.
There are certain controversies regarding the animals assigned to each Nakshatra. Even though the animals for each Nakshatra is given in the Characteristics of Nakshatra table, it is better we prepare a fresh table taking into account various controversies.
Male Female Animal
Aswini Satabhisha Horse
Bharani Revathi Elephant
Pushya Krittika Sheep
Rohini Mrigasirsha Serpent
Moola Ardra Dog
Aslesha Punarvasu Cat
Makha Purvaphalguni Rat
Uttaraphalguni Uttarabhadrapada Cow
Swathi Hasta Buffalo
Visakha Chitra Tiger
Jyeshta Anuradha Deer
Purvashada Sravana Monkey
Purvabhadrapada Dhanishta Lion
Uttarashada Mongoose
per above table. Rohini and Uttarashada which are male as per above table are treated as female in Prasna Marga.
In Prasna Marga – Part II – English translation by Dr BV Raman has given the following:
Stanza 38 – Page 166 – The constellations have been assigned to the Yonis of certain animals in the order beginning with Aswini: (1) Horse (2) Elephant (3) She-Goat (4) Serpent (5) Dog (6) Cat (7) Sheep (8) Cat (9) Mouse (10) Rat (11) Camel (12) He-Buffalo (Bull) (13) Lion (14) He-Buffalo (Bull) (15) Tiger (16) Stag (17) Deer (18) Dog (19) Monkey (20) Ox (21) Monkey (22) She-Buffalo (23) Horse (24) Woman (25) Cow (26) Elephant.
Thus the English translation is short of one animal for a Nakshatra. Also we find that new animal names are included like He-Buffalo, She-Buffalo, Stag, and Ox. In 24 it is mentioned as ‘woman’. In view of this confusion it is better to avoid this classification.
According to Brihaspati, Chitra governs the yoni of tiger. In Muhurta Ratna, it is said that Chitra governs Lion. As it is controversial, I also would like to quote the words of Dr BV Raman- “It is left to the discretion of the learned to settle one way or the other.”
There are two kinds of Yoni. One is the Nakshatra Yoni for which we refer the table above.
The second one is the Rasi Yoni. First let us see the rule for the Nakshatra Yoni:
Rule:
1. Marriage between the same class of Yoni of male and female brings happiness, as it shows natural harmony, progeny and adaptability. Herein there can be two possibilities. Girl having female Nakshatra and boy male Nakshatra – All texts agree that it will be a good match. The other possibility that boy having female Nakshatra and girl with male Nakshatra – is not considered as good by some texts. Prasna Marga is silent on this specific combination.
2. Compatibility between friendly Yonis, with both having female Nakshatras, will bring at least some amount of harmony and agreement. According to Prasna Marga if both are female asterism there will be loss of wealth. But there is no specific mention that such nakshatras are to be rejected. Hence we will take it as acceptable.
3. Marriage between male Nakshatras always forebodes evil, as both will try to wear the dhoti so to speak. Prasna Marga also agrees that if both are female Nakshatras, it is to be rejected.
4. Again in the class of Yoni the following pairs are to be avoided as these animals are natural enemies:
Horse and Buffalo Elephant and Lion Sheep and Monkey Serpent and Rat Cow and Tiger Rat and Cat
Mongoose and Serpent Deer and Dog
Since we have different classes of animals to some of the Nakshatras as per Prasna Marga it is better to study the rules as given therein:
1. If the Nakshatras of the couple come under the influence of the following animals, there will be family felicity and happiness. They are elephant, horse, cow, woman, stag, goat, she-goat and cat.
2. If tiger and serpent happen to be the animals of the couple, death may ensure.
3. Regarding Natural enemies Stanza 40 of Prasna Marga says:
The Cat and the serpent.
Rat and the dog Horse and she-buffalo Lion has no natural enemy.
Dog, mouse, cat, dog and serpent are mutual enemies. Hence yoking persons ruled by these will be disastrous.
According to Madhaveeya, tiger is the enemy of cow, dog, woman, he-buffalo, stag, goat and monkey.
Dog is the enemy of cow, goat, she-goat, monkey and stag.
If we are to take the Eunuch class also into account then the following table will illustrate the compatibility:
Girl’s Star Boy’s Star Effect
Male Male Bad
Female Male Good
Eunuch Male Good
Female Female Moderate
Male Female Bad
Eunuch Female Very Bad Male Eunuch Unacceptable Female Eunuch Moderate Eunuch Eunuch Very bad
The number of units of Yoni Kuta is 4.
Hence to avoid all these confusions, we will be using the given below table as given by Dr.
B.V. Raman in Muhurtha and stick on to this principle while deciding the compatibility of Yoni between the boy and the girl.
How to use the table:
Find out the class of Yoni (Animal) of the girl. Locate the column having this animal. Run down the same column until you reach the animal containing the boy. The units given therein will be taken as the point for Yoni Kuta.
If the unit is 4 OR 3 we will say it is good and if it is 1 or 2 we will consider it as Ordinary and if it is zero there is No yoni agreement and it is treated as bad.
For our example chart the girl’s star is Mrigasirsha signifying Serpent and the boy’s Nakshatra is Uttaraphalguni signifying Cow. Now locate the column containing Serpent and go down until you reach the row corresponding to Cow. You get the number 3. So the unit of agreement is 3.
Now let us look at the rules of Rasi Yoni Rule:
Here all the 12 signs are classified into 4 classes of animals as birds, reptile, animal and human based on the rasi signs. They are:
1. Second half of Capricorn and Pisces belong to bird Yoni 2. Cancer and Scorpio are of reptile Yoni
3. Aries, Taurus, Leo and first half of Capricorn are of animal Yoni 4. Gemini, Virgo, Libra, Aquarius and Sagittarius are of human Yoni
If the Yonis of both are the same it is good. If one is animal and the other is human it is moderate. Rasi Yonis to be avoided are:
Animal Yoni should not be joined with reptile or bird Yoni
One of human origin should not be combined with reptile or bird Yoni.
If we make a table it will be clear. We get the below position from the rule stated above. In this compatibility between reptile and bird Yoni has not been stated either as bad or good or as ordinary. It is also taken to be bad as for example Garuda (bird) is considered as the enemy of snake (reptile). Since it is a derived one it is shown in red. Readers may correct the same if it is wrong with proper quotes.
Reptile Animal Bird Human
Let us apply these two rules of Yoni to our sample chart.
Nakshatra Yoni: Girl is of Female Yoni and the class is serpent. Boy is of male Yoni and the class is Cow. From the first rule we find that Yoni matching is good. Also the animals are not of inimical nature because for serpent mongoose is the enemy and for cow tiger is the enemy.
Rasi Yoni: Girl belongs to Gemini rasi and boy is of Virgo rasi. Since both the Yonis are same it is also good.
So Yoni agreement is best for these charts.
7.6.Rasi:
This indicates the emotional compatibility of the couple and as such is also indicative of prosperity, growth and happiness. Rasi is the Moon sign and here we see how each other’s Moon is related. This is based on the natural friendship or Sambhanda of the lords of the Moon Rasis of both. Readers may also refer to my article on ‘Sambhanda or Planetary Relationships to have a more detailed understanding of the friendship between the planets.
There is conflicting information available as to this compatibility. For the benefit of the readers all the views that are prevalent under this head.
Rule 1: If both the rasis are the same and they are sama-sapthaka (i.e. one rasi is the 7th from the other) then it is considered as good. If the rasi of the boy is more than 6 from that of the girl it is considered as good. If it is 3 or 4 then it is moderate. If it is 2 or 5 or 6 or 8 then it is bad. In this also some are of the opinion that for Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius there is no shashtaka dosha (6-8) and for the rest of the rasis no dwisvabhava dosha (2-12).
According to Dr. B.V. Raman if the placement of Moon is in 6th and 8th from each other, the marriage will prosper. But Muhurtha Chinthamani disagrees as it feels that these positions are negative. However, if these lords are friends, they are in a better position as there is a possibility to improve their misunderstanding.
2nd and 12th position is a total loss. This will lead to complete lack of understanding of each other resulting in emotional set backs. In this, it is to be taken that the rasi of the boy is the 2nd from that of the girl and the rasi of the girl is 12th from that of the boy. According to Dr.
B.V. Raman, if the rasi of the boy falls in the 12th from that of the girl and of the girl is in the 2nd from that of the boy this indicates longevity of the couple and a happy married life.
is also of positive nature. Even here if the lords are inimical to each other, the combination will not work.
If the boy’s rasi falls in the 5th from that of the girl, there will be unhappiness. But if the girl’s rasi falls in the 5th from that of the boy there will be enjoyment and prosperity.
If the boy’s rasi falls in the 6th from the girl’s there will be loss of children, but if the girl’s is the 6th from the boy’s, then the progeny will prosper.
Where the rasis of the boy and the girl are in the 7th houses mutually, then there will be health, agreement and happiness. 1 and 7 positions are the best as each one will be reflecting the needs of the other. In this also the two combinations of Cancer - Capricorn and Leo – Aquarius are not to be matched as their lords are of inimical nature.
We can assign points as far as this agreement is considered as below:
Points House Combination Result
7 5:9 Good
5 3:11 Ordinary
3 4:10 Moderate, Hidden respect for each other 3 1:7 Moderate, but one tries to dominate other
1 2:12 Tolerable
0 6:8 Disputes
3 In one sign up to 15° Treat as 4:10 1 In One sign above 15° Treat as 2:12
The number of units for Rasi Kuta is 7.
But always remember this exception:
When both the rasis are owned by one planet or if the lords of the two rasis happen to be friends, the evil attributed above to the inauspicious disposition of rasis gets cancelled.
Rule 2: It is worth mentioning Madhavacharya’s words as to the effect of the placement of the boy’s Moon from that of the girl. If the boy’s Moon is placed in the 2nd from that of the girl it indicates Loss of Money. If it is in the third sorrow, in the fourth – quarrels and misunderstanding, in the 5th – loss of children and in the 6th diseases, danger and separation. However, if the lord of the signs of the two is the same planet or if they are mutually friendly as per the planetary friendship table, it need not be rejected.
Other rules: According to M.Ramakrishna Bhatt (Essentials of Horary Astrology) if there be agreement in respect of Vasya and Vedha, this flaw could be ignored.
According to Brihaspati a male born in the 7th sign from that of the bride (sama-Saptama) is exceptionally good in spite of the lords of the two signs being mutually inimical.
Some exceptions:
Any negativity in this agreement can be overcome if any of the Vasya (which we will be dealing with later), Dina and Graha Maître Kutas is present. Remember that if the lords of the Moon rasis are not enemies then any problem arising out of this compatibility can be sorted out. There is a possibility of reconciliation and hence can be advised that this agreement is present. If there is Vasya agreement then there exist a mutual attraction between the boy and the girl or if there is Tara Bala i.e. Dina kuta is positive then it can be safely presumed that the negativity of this kuta agreement is greatly removed. But rasi position is also negative and the lords are inimical, then there can be problems. Analyzing this kuta is very essential but do not forget to study the cancellations as they can take away the sting from the lack of compatibility.
There are some more exceptions also which may also be taken care of:
1. If the girl’s rasi is odd then the man having his rasi in the 6th or 8th there from can be taken as optional. If the girl is born in an even rasi, then the man born in the 6th there from accepted.
2. If the Janma rasi of both have Vasya and not Vedha, then the 6th and 8th position of the man’s rasi from the woman’s one can be accepted.
3. Harihara does not attach much blemish to the 3rd and 4th positions for the Janma Rasi of the male from that of the female as this shall neither indicate poverty, nor serious quarrels leading to estrangement nor loss of children. Sorrow is a part and parcel of human life and hence this need not be taken as criteria for mismatch.
4. The same Janma rasi is allowed as long as the couples do not have the same Janma
Final Rule: So there are many confusing findings given by the ancient sages. However, in my experience I have found the rules elucidated by Sanjay Rath in his article ‘Sambandha’
based on the advice given in Prasna Marga to be of much use. I follow this rule in deciding about Rasi Kuta.
Count from the sign occupied by the Moon in the male chart to the sign occupied by the Moon in the female chart. Here the counting is done from the Moon of the Boy to that of the girl instead of vice versa as is done in majority cases. The resulting number gives the
General well being and compatibility is indicated. Check the nakshatra match. If the nakshatra are different, it is excellent and in the case of marriage, sons and grandsons will issue from the wedlock. If they are the same then there shall be fear of poison and one of them could suffer severe ill-health and/or children could also suffer due to naga nadi or other flaws. This is sure to happen if the nakshatra is Bharani (2), Rohini (4), Ardra (6), Pushya (8), Aslesha (9), Magma (10), Hasta (13), Jyeshta (18), Moola (19), Purvashada (20), Dhanishta (23) or Satabhisha (24).
2 Good compatibility; financial problems and hardships (Harihara).
3 Excellent friendship and relationship; long term if planets concerned are friends.
4 Very compatible; growth in wealth 5 Very compatible; many children
6
Fairly compatible; short term relationship; destruction and ruin (Brihaspati) unless the Subhapati are mutually friendly; separation or quarrel - if the Subhapati are mutual foes or there is Vedha, then the intensity of evil is very high (Harihara). If they are friends, then this can be considered.
7 Excellent compatibility, especially in matters concerning the opposite sex.
8
Diseases (Madhavacharya); destruction and ruin (Brihaspati) unless the Subhapati are mutually friendly; separation, quarrel or death and if the Subhapati are mutual foes or there is Vedha, then the intensity of evil is very high (Harihara). However, if the passive partner (Moon) has an even Janma rasi, then this match is to be
rejected (Harihara).
9 No compatibility and no growth; in case of a marriage, loss of children is indicated (Madhavacharya);
10
Quarrels and misunderstanding (Madhavacharya); marriage maybe considered if the Subhapati are friendly (Brihaspati) and will last, but there will be many quarrels.
11 Sorrow is indicated (Madhavacharya).
12 No compatibility and many problems; especially financial losses (Madhavacharya) and poverty (Harihara).
Let us apply this conflicting or rather confusing rule to our chart.
The girl belongs to Gemini and the boy is of Virgo.
1. As per rule 1 the boy’s rasi is the 4th from that of the girl. So we will say moderate compatibility. So the points give would be 10 as per the points table given under this rule. (4:10)
2. As per rule 2 it indicates quarrels and misunderstandings. If we apply the exception that ‘if the lords of the two rasis are the same or mutually friendly they need not be rejected’. Since both the rasi lords are one and the same – Mercury, we can conclude that this is acceptable.
3. Since we do not have total disagreement applying the above two rules we need not see Vasya, Vedha etc.
4. As per the final rule we note that the female rasi is the 10th from that of the male.
The indications as per the table are: Quarrels and misunderstanding (Madhavacharya); marriage maybe considered if the Subhapati are friendly (Brihaspati) and will last, but there will be many quarrels.
So the final conclusion is that there is a Rasi agreement between the boy and the chart and that it can be considered as moderate only.
