It is opined that the control over the spouse should be mutual. Excessive one sided control is not considered good. Hence Vashya Kuta represents mutual control and amenability between the couple.
In Vashya Kuta all Janma Rashis are divided into 5 categories.
Each Zodiac sign has been allocated to one of these categories.
If Vara and Kanya belongs to the same group then full two points are given and it is considered the best match. In other cases one, one-and-half and zero points are given. To allocate points other than full 2 points, nature of signs is considered.
All signs are judged on the basis of Vashya (controllable) and Bhakshya (eatable).
