Have you ever felt that instant, undeniable spark with someone? That magnetic pull where everything just clicks? Have you noticed how animals instinctively know how to find their perfect mate? No dating apps, no swiping—just pure, natural connection. It’s almost like they’re tuned into something we can’t quite grasp.

None of this is just coincidence—if you look close enough there might just be something cosmic happening behind the scenes. What if we could tap into that same primal wisdom and use it to enhance our own relationships? In this article, we’ll explore the fascinating way that nature guides us toward finding our complimentary opposites, and how you might just be following your own cosmic instincts, without even knowing it.

Growing Interest In Astrological Compatibility

Horoscope matching is one of the most in-demand consultation services that so many people seek out from astrologers. This is because they want to gain a better understanding of their own relationships in life, and the modern world gives us almost no tools for accomplishing that goal. Or worse, it can even set us up for failure.

Perhaps you are single and looking for your ideal partner, or maybe you’re in a relationship already, and want to make sure the match can be lasting. Although an in-depth analysis for horoscope matching can be quite complicated and takes into account many factors from the birth charts of both partners, there’s no denying that sexual chemistry plays an important role in anyone’s love life.

Simplest Method for Seeing Harmony Between Two People

One of the most basic techniques used in kundli matching, or an astrological compatibility analysis, is what is called nakṣatra yoni. The word “yoni” in Sanskrit can have many meanings. In this context it can be translated to mean “genital” or “reproductive organ”. This technique is a beautiful way to see a majority of the compatibility between two people.

Each nakṣatra carries the energy of one unique animal. For example, the animal symbol for Ashwini nakṣatra is a male horse and the symbol of Shatabhisha is a female horse. The animal symbol of Chitra is a female tiger and the animal symbol of Uttara Phalguni is a male bull. As a general rule, certain yonis have a natural harmony with one another, while others might clash.

Out of the twenty-seven nakṣatras, every male animal has a female counterpart. The only exception is Uttara Ashadha, which is symbolized by a male mongoose that has no counterpart. It is for this reason that people with a prominence of Uttara Ashadha nakṣatra in their birth chart are said to have difficulty finding a permanent mate.

Predators and Prey

Just as it would be true in nature, two people who share the same animal category would have the most sexual compatibility. Two people who have enemy animal symbols would have the least sexual compatibility. Imagine the natural attraction between a male and female horse versus the deadly encounter of a deer meeting a tiger. What behaviors might occur when a cat encounters a rat? One becomes the predator, and one the prey.

Of course, the chemistry between two individuals can land somewhere between these extreme ends of the spectrum, so you can think of this almost like an intensity scale for sexual compatibility. Some animal yonis are neutral to each other or even friendly. Some pairs are considered very compatible because their energies match well, while others might require a little more effort to get onto the same page.

Watch the Discovery Channel

The best part about yoni matching is that you can use common knowledge already known about animals to give you a hint about how the sexual compatibility will be. When you think of a cat, what energy comes to mind? Cats can be moody and typically only want affection on their own terms. Consider the energy of a monkey. Monkeys love to move around as they swing from branch to branch. They can be quite clever and are concerned with hygiene. Any individual with one of these animal yonis will likely carry a similar energy in their own personality, especially when it comes to sex.   

If the animal yonis of you and your partner aren’t perfectly harmonious, it doesn’t mean the relationship is doomed—it just means you’ll need to work through some differences in your physical and emotional dynamics. Plus, there is much more to consider when doing a full analysis of two horoscopes for relationship compatibility, so be careful not to jump to conclusions too quickly. 

How To Find Your Own Animal Symbol

You just need to know your nakṣatra, which is based on the position of the moon at the time of your birth. Once you know what your nakṣatra is, you can find out which yoni corresponds to that nakṣatra. From there, you can look at your current or potential partner’s yoni and see how the two match up!

Here is a list of animal symbols for each nakṣatra, for your reference:

  • ashwini = male horse
  • bharani = male elephant
  • krittika = female sheep
  • rohini = male serpent
  • mrigashira = female serpent
  • ardra = female dog
  • punarvasu = female cat
  • pushya = male sheep
  • ashlesha = male cat
  • magha = male rat
  • purva phalguni = female rat
  • uttara phalguni = male cow
  • hasta = female buffalo
  • chitra = female tiger
  • swati = male buffalo
  • vishakha = male tiger
  • anuradha = female deer
  • jyestha = male deer
  • mula = male dog

Discover the Secrets of Nakshatras with Observational Astrology

In the video below, we delve into the fascinating realm of Nakshatras, also known as lunar mansions from Vedic astrology. Nakshatras hold the secrets to understanding human behavior, personality, and destiny. Watch to learn how you can gain deeper insights into the nature of each nakshatra through daily observation and journaling…

What is Vedic astrology? As a brief overview, this form of astrology, also known as Jyotia, is an ancient Indian system of astrology that analyzes the positions and movements of celestial bodies to gain insights into human affairs and natural phenomena. It is based on the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of India, and emphasizes the influence of planets, stars, and their alignments at the time of a person’s birth. Overall, Vedic astrology serves as a tool for self-discovery, enlightenment, and achievement of greater success.

What are Nakshatras?

In Vedic astrology, Nakshatras (also referred to as lunar mansions or “asterisms”) are a crucial component of the system, deeply influencing a person’s astrological profile. They are a set of twenty-seven constellations in the sky that work “behind the scenes” of each of the twelve zodiac signs. There are approximately 2.25 nakshatras contained within each zodiac sign. Each one adds its own unique traits to the planet which transits through it. Nakshatras offer a microscopic way to further pinpoint a person’s thoughts, behaviors, and astrological goals in life.

What is Observational Astrology?

Since the moon and the stars are constantly influencing our thoughts and actions, understanding these cosmic influences can vastly help individuals navigate their journeys through life with greater awareness and insight.

In Vedic astrology, the moon represents our mind and emotions. Because the moon travels through each nakshatra every one to one-and-a-half days, nakshatras impact our thoughts, feelings and actions every day. If we can learn how to utilize the varying energies of each nakshatra and their effects, we can enhance our own self awareness and better maneuver through the hurdles of life.

Some experts believe that the best way to recognize the cosmic influence that nakshatras provide, is to simply observe. Notice the life activities, incidents, and encounters that happen in your daily life. Write down these observations, and begin your journey towards using nakshatras to understand your own place in this universe.

How to Study Nakshatras

Nakshatras can indicate or even predict event occurrences in your life as well as have an impact on your thoughts and feelings. You can begin to study these impacts by simply observing. No experience or knowledge is needed. The beauty of astrology is how it can be understood even with basic and simplistic practices.

If  you already know the details of your birth chart, start with finding the nakshatra of your moon in your own birth chart. If you have not seen your own birth chart, you can find it online for free by searching something like “vedic birth chart calculator”, or you can use our birth chart calculator. However, you can still practice observational astrology and study the effects of the nakshatras in your life without using your own birth chart. Whenever you feel ready to start observing, find out what the nakshatra is for that day. You can easily find this information for free on the internet by searching something like “what is today’s nakshatra in my location?” (for example, “what is today’s nakshatra in Chicago, IL”). Start your observations when the moon transits over that nakshatra.

Write down your experiences each day such as:

  • what you watch
  • what you wear
  • what you eat
  • what you discuss
  • who you speak to
  • what topics or themes arose in your conversations

Notice any differences in your interactions with family, friends, or acquaintances on one nakshatra day versus another. 

Continue your observations for at least two full cycles of the moon over twenty-seven nakshatras, which would take around fifty-four days. The more you study each occurrence in detail, the better understanding you will have, especially as you go back over your notes and start to notice similarities.

How to Get Started

We created a journal which is specially designed to help you observe the influence of nakshatras. Our journal is simple to use and contains various prompts to get you started on your journey to better understanding this important component of Vedic Astrology.
