Among the various properties assigned to the lunar mansions, the one that usually gets the most attention is probably their associated animal. The reason for this is not their significance in analyzing the personality, behavior or looks of their native, but rather their meaning when it comes to the natives approach to sex and their sexual compatibility with others.
This parameter sounds quite ironic given the fact that even today arranged marriages are very common in India, but surprisingly even in these arrangements this is one of the most important astrological considerations when choosing an appropriate match.
Of course the curiosity when it comes to sexual compatibility doesn’t end with arranged marriages. And if you thought that pick-up lines involving zodiac signs were awkward, imagine that same pick-up telling a potential partner exactly what to expect from you in bed!
