Hindus in India do Kundli Matching before fixing a marriage alliance. Kundli Matching is nothing but the matching of the girl’s and boy’s horoscopes. Kundli Matching helps assess if the marriage will be a success or not. During this process, many parameters are matched. One among them is Yoni matching or Yoni Porutham. It refers to the sexual compatibility between the couple. Yoni matching is also about the agreement between two yonis and their long-term relationship.
Understanding Yoni Matching
Yoni usually refers to the generative organ of the female body. Its Sanskrit meaning is ‘womb’. But in Vedic astrology and Kundli Matching, Yoni refers to the sexual nature of a person. It also describes the kind of person one would like to be in a relationship with and satisfactory sexual relations. The type of Yoni you have depends on your birth star or Janma Nakshatra.
Yoni also refers to the bond between a couple, their level of physical satisfaction, and karmic connections. As per the ancient standards of sexual compatibility, physical relationships were not considered during Yoni Porutham. The emotional and karmic bond between a couple after marriage was the real focus.
The Yoni concept is based on animal symbolism; thus, each zodiac sign is linked to a particular animal.
Different Types of Yoni
In total, there are 13 types of Yoni. Yoni is useful for determining the physical attraction and repulsion between the couple. The 13 yonis are Ashwa Yoni, Gaya Yoni, Sarpa Yoni, Simha Yoni, Nakul Yoni, Vyaghra Yoni, etc. They are again classified as Male Yoni and Female Yoni. These different types of Yoni will be considered during Kundali matching, which throws light on the sexual compatibility and satisfaction experienced by the couple in the marriage.

Importance of Yoni Matching
When doing Kundli Matching, the couple’s state of mind, attitudes, interests, etc., can be predicted using planetary positions in the horoscope. Physical/sexual compatibility, too, is very important if the marriage is to succeed. Yoni matching indicates the sexual intimacy between the couple, which is essential for a harmonious marriage as it is a vital element of the husband-wife bond.
Yoni matching carries 4 points. Yoni matches are of 5 types.
Same Yoni: Couples with the same type of Yoni get four points. This is the best match.
Friendly Yoni: If the couple’s Yoni types are friendly to each other, they get three points. It indicates a healthy relationship.
Neutral Yoni: If the couple’s Yonis are neutral, they get two points. They will be able to adjust in a relationship.
Opposite Yoni: If a couple has opposite yonis, they get only one point. There will be sexual problems in their relationship.
Enemy Yoni: If the couple has enemy Yoni types, they get zero points. Their sexual relationship will be very unsatisfactory due to physical frustrations and health problems. This leads to Yoni dosha.
When the Yoni types do not match, the couple is advised not to get married. Enemy yoni types can cause great problems between the couple. There may be a total lack of interest in sex in such cases. Opposite yoni types also cause sexual frustration.
