What is Yoni Porutham?
Yoni Porutham checks physical and sexual compatibility through animal yoni classification. The 14 animal yonis are assigned to pairs of nakshatras. Matching yonis score highest. Friendly animal pairs are acceptable. Enemy animal pairs are cautioned.
How to Calculate
Same as the Yoni Koota in Ashtakoot: identify the animal yoni of each partner's nakshatra. Same yoni = perfect. Friendly yoni = good. Neutral = acceptable. Enemy = cautioned.
