What's Your Animal Yoni?

topic posted Tue, July 3, 2007 - 9:12 AM by  David Ray
Vedic astrology or Jyotish has a detailed method for analyzing the compatibility of two people's Moons. It is called the kuta system, and it compares two people's nakshatras (lunar asterisms) to reach a point total. Anything over 20 points is considered fit for marriage.

One factor that is interesting is the animal yoni. There are 27 nakshatras, and each nakshatra corresponds to either the penis or vagina of an animal. The yoni is supposed to tell you something about your sexuality, and even the size and shape of your genitalia. The most compatible combo is a penis and a vagina of the same animal. Animals of the same type (both predators or both ruminants, etc.) are also compatible. There are certain combinations (like cow & tiger or monkey & sheep - can't even picture that second one!) that are especially incompatible. Two vaginas are considered more compatible than two penises.

Without getting into the compatibility part, I am offering to plug your information into my software and tell you your nakshatra and animal yoni. Just post your birth info to the thread if you'd like to know.

    Hi Dave the Mage,

    Don't you think you're taking a few liberties here with these astrological yoni interpretations?

    The term "yoni" is generally considered to be symbolic of the deeper instinctive nature of each Nakshatra, not a literal description of the size or shape of genitalia. The word "yoni" itself is a loose tantric term that refers to the vagina - the male equivalent is "vajra" (thunderbolt)

    Even as it refers to sexual compatibility, it has long been realized that you are not to read the yoni literally for this. It just doesn;t work. Sexual comfortand compatibility has to do with a lot more than yonis.

    I have one of the most incompatible yoni's, the male Tiger - but have rarely had any sort of sexual incompatibility issues with partners - even with a "0" yoni score, which happens a lot with Vishaka.

    As was said, the yoni is mainly used to assess the deeper instinctive nature of the person which is revealed through sex -- but not just through sex -- any intense experiences can show the yoni.

    They're generally classified as "male Tiger" -- "female elephant" -- "male monkey", etc. not "Tiger's penis" - "Elephant vagina", etc.

    Or perhaps this is a new spin you have on it. Is this a new Ernst thing..?

      Thanks for the different perspective Sam! Yes, I agree the meaning is deeper than the size and shape of your genitalia. Nobody's saying that you have a striped penis!

      I will let people do what they like with the information. I'm not really offering interpretations here. Just offering the service of plugging the information in and spitting out the yoni.

      Now, that didn't sound right...

        sure dave, but the the "different perspective" is yours. It is not at all conventional. And unless this is based on a new interpretation of sanskrit or something, you are taking quite a liberty here.

        vishaka is a male tiger not the tiger's penis. Aslesha is a male cat not a cat's penis.

        As far as i know you are the only one saying it is literally the genitalia.. which is fine if you want to use this - but people should know this is not a conventional interpretation.

        For many here this forum is there most immediate connection vedic astrology. I wanted to clarify that because most people here are not vedic astrologers or students or heard of this and IMO you are confusing this by calling the yoni (instinctive animal nature) by the genital of the animal.

        Frankly, I don't care if that is your perspective and if you use it, say it or whatever, Have at it. But stating this as a conventional interpretation in a public forum is quite different.

        There is a big difference between the yoni being male monkey (a complete animal) and just the monkey's penis..

        The Yoni is the animal, not its genitalia.

          Research etiquette is not my strength, so I don't always remember all my sources.

          But this is from Dennis Harness' book on the Nakshatras:

          "Yoni kuta indicates the degree of sexual affinity, sensual desires, and supposedly even the size of sex organs..."

          "For example, a Mula man and an Ardra woman represent the male and female organs of a dog..."

          I didn't think that I made that part up, so I had to check for myself. Whether or not it's actually true is a different story. But I didn't make it up, actually.

          Still, I wasn't just being patronizing when I said I appreciate your comments. I think that even if I knew everything I can't always say everything, so it's always helpful to have different people throw in different facets and perspectives, so that readers can come to their own conclusions.

            "didn't think that I made that part up, so I had to check for myself. Whether or not it's actually true is a different story. But I didn't make it up, actually. Still, I wasn't just being patronizing when I said I appreciate your comments. "

            I knew that you were sincere. We have been here before, discussing, supporting, testing. Its all good Dave. Thanks for posting this resource. Yes i know it is a tricky one.

            I know (and acknowledge) that a part of yoni kuta is related to sex, because sex is a deeper primal instinct.

            If you notice in the Nakshatra book, when he identifies the yonis for each nakshatra he says - "female cow", "Male cat", "Female lion", etc. - not "cow vagina", "cat penis", "lion vagina", etc. as I said. You are the only one i have ever seen just reduce it simply to a genital association - that is all I am saying. And i think this reduction simplifies a very profound thing.

            You said:
            "There are 27 nakshatras, and each nakshatra corresponds to either the penis or vagina of an animal. The yoni is supposed to tell you something about your sexuality, and even the size and shape of your genitalia. The most compatible combo is a penis and a vagina of the same animal. Animals of the same type (both predators or both ruminants, etc.) are also compatible. There are certain combinations (like cow & tiger or monkey & sheep - can't even picture that second one!) that are especially incompatible. Two vaginas are considered more compatible than two penises. "

            Then identified yourself as "elephant vagina", and others similarly - as just the animals genitals.

            I have felt and seen it work as more of a measure of the capacity and capability of the couple to bond through intense exchanges - sex among them, but also arguing or aggressive actions - dramatic scenarios. If yonis are compatible there is a better likelihood that one persons intensity will not be too harsh for another.

            EXAMPLE: I have felt this myself many times with a rather harsh male tiger yoni. Yet I have been sexually compatible with all my partners. In fact that has been the best and most positive bond for many relationships where the deeper intensity was a miss as i describe. This dynamic is totally different than saying yoni just relates to genital sizes and types.

            Beyond just a tittilating, fun, internet game, I think "you are a cat vagina" is a little hard to fathom anyway. A female Cat is more palatable. That yoni will show a deeper instinctive nature like a female cat - wild at times, yet in general self contained and clean / proper. Also a bit prissy, etc.

            Maybe see if this expanded definition works for you as well. maybe it doesn't and that is OK too.

            BTW - Others should know Dave and i have discussed many things like this before, without it being contentious and aggressive,, so ,.. um, . just chill out! -- We are having a discussion. I knew Dave would not see me as pooping on his thread or being excessively "holy" or ungrateful or whatever. Vedic astrologers discuss these things all the time without Drama..

            I respect Dave a lot and welcome his input and contributions and I'm sure he knows this.

              Ernst's Kala software describes the yoni factor as being our ability to share intense experiences with one another, which would include sex but also go beyond sex. I like that description. I wasn't trying to diminish it, though I think it does make a fun internet game and there's no need to take it too seriously. It's just information. I trust anyone getting their yoni information will take it to the depth of meaning that's appropriate for them.

              thanks again,

                Thank you Dave:

                as I was born @ 1830 PST, 11 minutes away from being a Pisces, It would appear that I am a Lion Vagina, though, a monkey one would be fine as well...

                More clues.

                Thanks again,

        Dave:
        Don't you know that no matter what "nice thing" you're trying to do, there are people on this tribe that not only won't like it, and will let you know why they don't.
        I think what your gifting people is "fun and a nice change".

        Don't let the holy and pure get to you.

          Daniel -Cappy to cappy-
          'Nice thing " for sure this post is a wonderful contribution to this tribe.
          But -who is to say that Dave is or isn't enlightend?
          I don't remember many prophets, saints or otherwise getting much support from those indoctrinated .
          I think this post is a wonderful opportunity for spiritual awaking -sure the vagina is the whole self as well as our love kit -much like any other body appendage it has several functions and it has such a wonderful capasity on many levels.
          I honestly think Dave brought this topic here in love and respect with the possibility for us to have some fun and become more aware .
          Dave -thanks for gifting me !

            I say Dave is enlightened and I have a light bulb over my head.
            It is a very nice thing he is doing, being nice is enlightenment.

            I think Kate is Enlightened as well, she always try's to be nice.

              david, whats your source for info? i seem to get differing info from the internet on different genders for different nakshatras. can you PM me your source, if you "know" its accurate? i know ernst has misinformed in his book , UP as female rather than male.......etc
              it would be nice to have accurate info all in one place.
              thanks

                Dennis Harness' book, NAKSHATRAS

                Please do say something when you think an error was made with anybody's animal yoni that I posted. It's definitely possible!

                What are finding that's different? I would trust Dennis' book over "the internet".

                Also, I am using Dhruva Galactic Center ayanamsa, which will give different nakshatras in some cases compared to say, Lahiri ayanamsa.

                    Verseau,

                    Well it's hard to know for sure without the time and location. You are either Sravana nakshatra, which is the monkey vagina nakshatra, or you are the next nakshatra, Dhanishta, which is the lion vagina nakshatra. Probably you are Dhanishta, but if you were born very early in the morning you might be Sravana, but location is going to influence it also. In Seattle, the Moon entered Dhanishta around 8:50am.

                    David
