Gana Kuta or Temperment

This is just one piece of a larger system used by Vedic Astrologers to

determine compatibility between partners. I refer to the Ganas frequently
because they're so useful in communication, i.e., understanding where
people are coming from. My moon is in Mula, which makes me
Rakshasa Gana. The technique used to determine the affinity of two
peoples temperaments is known as Gana Kuta. Gana means race and
determines a persons temperament based on the symbolism of three
mythological races:

1. Deva
2. Manusha
3. Rakshasa

Devas are conservative, appropriate, traditional (e.g., value marriage),

faithful, open, loyal and devoted. They tend to avoid confrontation, color
within the lines, and be politically correct. They can be very giving
towards relationships and very relationship-oriented. They include the
Nakshatras: Aswini, Mrigashira, Punurvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Swati,
Anuradha, Shravana and Revati. Manushas are practical and can be
more innovative and progressive than Devas yet are still somewhat
conservative. They include the nakshatras: Bharani, Rohini, Ardra,
Purvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni, Purvaashada, Uttaraashada,
Purvabhadrapada and Uttarabhadrapada. Rakshasas are independent,
innovative, creative, unconventional, eccentric and capable of breaking
attachments and conventions. They're willing to break the rules, live out
loud, rock the boat, buck the system, march to the beat of their own
drummer and go their own way. In relationships they make it up as they
go. They'd rather live authentically than in harmony. They won't
necessarily behave the way society expects them to, they do what feels
true to them. They will seek truth even if it upsets others. They can
shock, horrify, embarrass, or just generally make people feel
uncomfortable, but can also be exciting to be around. They include the
nakshatras: Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha, Chitra, Vishakha, Jyeshtha,
Mula, Dhanishta and Shatabisha.

In relationship, the Nakshatra of the moons of the couple are compared:

If both the Ganas (races) are the same then 6 points are given. The more
people are alike, the less they scare and try to change each other.

Woman Deva and the man Manushya = 3 points.

Woman Deva and the man Rakshasa = 1 point.
Woman Manushya and the man Deva = 5 points.
Woman Manushya and the man Rakshasa = 3 points.

If the woman is Rakshasa Gana and the man Deva or Manushya Gana
then 0 points, pairing up with a man with a Deva or Manushya
Nakshatra is considered to bring troubles.
According to classical texts, quarreling will prevail and marriage will
be unhappy. Only a man with his moon in a Rakshasa Nakshatra is
considered compatible and is able to fully appreciate (and handle) a
woman with her moon in a Rakshasa Nakshatra.

According to the classical texts, a high Gana Kuta score keeps the
couple "ever young, happy and increasing in love for one another."
When two people share the same temperment, it is easier for them to just
"get" each other. They will tend to laugh at the same jokes, enjoy the
same TV shows or movies, and agree on how to decorate. Best of all,
they will be of comfort to each other in emotional situations and won't
try to change each other to being more "appropriate" or to "loosen up."
