When assessing the Vedic sex horoscopes this way, we have to look at the following rules:
- If the woman's Moon occupies a female Nakshatra and the male's Moon occupies a male Nakshatra and the respective animals are compatible, you will find that you both are extremely sexual compatible.
- If both partners have their respective Moons in Nakshatras that are either both female or male and the respective animals are compatible, there is sexual agreement.
- If the woman's Moon occupies a male Nakshatra and the male's Moon occupies a female Nakshatras and the respective animals are compatible, you will find that there is average sexual compatibility. However, in case both Moons occupy a male Nakshatra, there may be some lack of agreement around sexuality.
- If the respective animals of the partners are incompatible in the Vedic sex horoscopes, there is sexual incompatibility.
So, when delineating Vedic sex horoscopes, first check the animal compatibility before looking at the different Nakshatras.
