How many points is Vashya Koota worth?

Vashya Koota is worth 2 points out of 36. It reads the natural pull and mutual influence between the two Moon signs.

What do the Vashya groups mean?

Each Moon sign is sorted by its symbol into one of five groups: human, quadruped, water, wild, and insect or reptile. Compatibility depends on how those two groups relate in the traditional table.

Is a low Vashya score a dealbreaker?

No. A low Vashya only suggests that mutual influence may take more effort, which many couples build through communication. Real attraction is read from Venus, the 5th house, and the 7th house in both full charts, not this 2-point test.

Vashya Koota: The 2-Point Attraction Test

Vashya Koota is the second matching test and is worth 2 points out of 36. The word vashya means control or pull. The test reads how naturally two partners draw toward and influence each other.

The five Vashya groups

Each Moon sign belongs to one of five groups based on its symbol. The groups are human or biped (Manava), quadruped (Chatushpada), water (Jalachara), wild or carnivorous (Vanachara), and insect or reptile (Keeta). For example Gemini, Virgo, Libra, and the first half of Sagittarius fall in the human group; Aries, Taurus, and the back half of Sagittarius and first half of Capricorn are quadruped; Cancer and the back half of Capricorn are water; Leo is wild; Scorpio is insect or reptile. Pisces and Aquarius read as water with their own placement notes.

How the 2 points are scored

The two signs are checked against a traditional table. If each sign is naturally drawn to or comfortable with the other's group, the couple earns the full 2 points. Partial pull gives 1 or 0.5 points. Where one group is read as prey to the other or the two simply do not relate, the points drop toward zero. The idea is mutual ease of influence, the sense that each partner can move and be moved by the other without force.

What a strong or weak Vashya means

A full 2 points suggests an easy natural pull, the kind that makes day-to-day persuasion and compromise feel smooth. A low score points to a pairing where influence may take more effort, where one partner has to work harder to be heard. That is a note about relational style, not a defect. Many couples with a low Vashya build strong influence through plain communication over time.

Keeping 2 points in proportion

Vashya is two points in a Moon-only test. It cannot see Mangal dosha, dasha overlap, or the 7th house. A weak Vashya is not a reason to walk away, and no honest astrologer sells a ritual to fix it. The real read of attraction and pull comes from the 5th and 7th houses and the placement of Venus across both full charts, not from this single number.

AstroMedha scores Vashya inside the full eight-koota match and then reads Venus, the 5th house, and the 7th house in both birth charts, so the pull between two people is judged from the whole picture rather than a 2-point flag.
