Nakshatra Compatibility:
The Deepest Layer of Matching
While rashi matching gives a broad overview, nakshatra-level analysis goes deeper — revealing sexual compatibility, temperament match, and karmic connection between two people.

The Moon moves through 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions) in 27.3 days. Your birth nakshatra is the nakshatra the Moon occupied at the exact moment of your birth — far more specific than your moon sign (which covers 2.5 days) or sun sign (which covers ~30 days).
The Ashtakoot (8-kuta) matching system is almost entirely based on nakshatras. Tara Kuta, Yoni Kuta, Gana Kuta, and Nadi Kuta are all nakshatra-derived — together they account for 21 out of 36 points.
Gana Kuta: The Temperament Test
Yoni Kuta: Physical & Sexual Compatibility
Each nakshatra is associated with an animal (yoni). Yoni Kuta measures physical and sexual compatibility. Same yoni = perfect score (4/4). Friendly yoni = high score. Enemy yoni = 0 or 1.
