In Vedic Astrology, all the rashis and Nakshatras are considered according to the placement of the Moon in the birth chart. In this article, we will discuss the relevance and utility of Vashya Kuta in marriage matchmaking.

 

Vashya Kuta is the second category of Ashtakuta system

 

The word ‘Vashya’ indicates control over another person, the ability influence the partner or to dominate. In earlier times, it was expected that women should follow the rules made by men so that time it was compared for checking whether the husband will have an influence on his wife or not. But as the social pattern is changing, now women are not subject to persecution, hence Vashya Kuta is considered to check whether there will be a compatible and dedicated relationship between the couple or not. It evaluates the magnetic effect in a relationship, it reflects the dominant partner out of the two in the relationship.

 

Vashya Kuta segregates the Rashis in 5 categories and each category indicates a kind of nature which can be compared with other kinds. The symbolic image of Rashi also helps to identify categories as mentioned below:

 

1. Chatuspad: Mesh, Vrushabh, Dhanu and Makar (except Sinha)
2. Manushya or Dwipad: Mithun, Kanya, Tula, front part of Dhanu and Kumbh
3. Jalachar: half of Kark Makar, Kumbh and Meen,
4. Vanchar: only Sinha rashi.
5. Keet: Only Vrushchik Rashi.

 

Vashya  Kuta should be in the same group to ensure maximum compatibility. The matches are scored out of 2 points. Astrology says that planets create compatibility and incompatibility as per their nature. If the Vashya Kutas of the two people who are considered for marriage are compatible, they will have a better marital accord.

*Leo is the only sign which controls all other signs except Scorpio.
