In India, during Kundali matching for Hindu marriages, Vedic astrologers use Yoni Koota or Yoni Porutham to determine the sexual compatibility between two people. It is the 4th category that is checked during Kundali matching for the prospective bride and groom before the two families fix the marriage alliance.

 Kundali Matching is done by astrologers to find out if the bride and the groom are compatible. Totally there are 36 Gunas in Kundali. The astrologer matches both the bride’s and the groom’s birth charts (Kundali) to identify the similarities and differences in their Guna. If more than 18 Gunas match, the couple will be deemed compatible and can have a happy and successful marriage. There are 8 Kootas under the Kundali matching system. They are given below.

Yoni in Kundali Matching

 Yoni in astrology relates to sexual compatibility in a relationship. The Yoni Koota in each Nakshatra is linked to different animals. For instance, Ashwini is linked to horses. So, Ashwini is the horse Yoni Nakshatra. Similarly, the rest of the Nakshatras also have associations with specific animals.

Yonis as Animal Types

 Vedic astrology mentions 13 kinds of Yoni. These are considered by astrologers when studying the birth charts of couples for sexual attraction between them. Yoni also indicates the intimate comfort between couples. All 13 Yonis are Animal types like Ashwa Yoni, Sarpa Yoni, etc. This helps us to understand Yoni’s sexual traits easily.

 Let us find out more about Yoni Porutham and what it means.

Yoni Porutham/Matching

 Yoni is the female generative organ and means ‘womb’ in Sanskrit. But Yoni in astrology refers to the sexual nature of a person. It also offers insight into what kind of person we would like to be in a relationship and enjoy good sexual intimacy. The type of Yoni you have depends on your Janma Nakshatra type or birth star.

But Yoni Porutham is not limited to sexual compatibility alone. It also reveals something about the long-term relationship of the couple after marriage. This includes many things - the bond the couple will develop after having sexual relations, the level of sexual satisfaction, the sort of nature one has for desiring each other, and karmic connections. But initially, sexual compatibility did not include physical intimacy when assessing Yoni Porutham. The focus was more on the karmic and emotional bond between the couple after marriage.

Yoni Matching Chart for Marriage

 Yoni is derived from a person’s Janma Nakshatra. Hence, the Yoni type is also derived from the Janma Nakshatra as it is a characteristic of the particular Nakshatra. It has nothing to do with the person’s zodiac sign or Rasi sign.

The Importance of Yoni Matching

 Yoni Porutham is important as it offers insight into the sexual compatibility of the couple post-marriage. The matching should be done for both Kundalis (boy and girl). There are no particular parameters to determine which zodiac sign is physically compatible with another zodiac sign. One can determine this only from the Janma Nakshatra.

Yoni matching only points to the compatibility between the stars and not their compatibility in everyday life. The physical and emotional relationships between the couple may be different on different occasions. Some couples never experience compatibility, both physical and emotional, which is essential for a happy marriage. So, Yoni Porutham is important.

Conclusion

 Yoni Porutham is a must for good relationships, as emotional and physical compatibility enables the couple to have a happy married life.

 If there is a good score in Yoni Porutham, it indicates that the sexual desire between the couple is mutual and that the couple has good compatibility, friendly relations, and emotional understanding. But a poor score indicates that the married life of the couple will be unsatisfactory due to an absence of physical and emotional intimacy. This is also called Yoni Dosha.
