The Vedic sex horoscopes are primarily based on the Moon's position. It's the way Vedic astrology works.
On our Moon sign compatibility page we discussed the Lunar Compatibility System (the Kuta point system) for (marital) compatibility by assessing the Nakshatra positions of the respective Moons of the partners. We analyzed the compatibility according to the Gana (Class) qualities.
In Indian or Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) there is a similar system to evaluate or assess sex horoscopes and the sexual compatibility between partners. This method is called Yoni-matching.
That's why the Nakshatras are so important when delineating the Vedic sex horoscopes.
Each of the Naksahatras, listed on our Moon sign compatibility page correspond with the male or female gender and are also related to an animal. Some animals are incompatible with each other, indicating sexual incompatibility in the Vedic sex horoscopes.
If you don't know your Moon sign or the Nakshatra, please, go to our Moon sign compatibility page to get some tips on how to calculate and get your Vedic Chart instantly and for free.
Please note that there is NO full agreement among Vedic astrologers as to the gender related to a Nakshatra. Different sources bring differences. Take this Yoni-matching system with a grain of salt!

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.
