You’ve met someone special. The chemistry is off the charts; you connect on so many levels, and you’re pretty sure this could be “the one.” Except for one little thing—your astrological compatibility. Specifically, your ganas.
If you’ve looked into Vedic astrology at all, you know that the gana, or nature, of your signs, plays an important role in determining if you and your partner will thrive together or constantly butt heads. So what happens when one person is of the manushya, or human nature, and the other is rakshasa, or demon nature? Is that a deal breaker, or can opposites still attract?
Manushya And Rakshasa Ganas In Vedic Astrology
In Vedic astrology, all signs are divided into three groups called ganas – Deva (divine), Manushya (human) and Rakshasa (demon). The gana of a sign determines the nature and temperament of the native.
If you and your partner have signs belonging to Manushya and Rakshasa ganas, respectively, marrying each other can be challenging. So, yes, Manushya gana and Rakshasa gana can marry, but there may be some obstacles to overcome. Keep reading to learn how to overcome them.
Manushya gana signs like Gemini, Virgo, Libra, and Aquarius are intellectual, practical, and adjustable. On the other hand, Rakshasa gana signs like Aries, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Sagittarius are dominating, aggressive and stubborn.
Such opposing natures and mindsets often lead to a lack of understanding and compatibility in the relationship. The Rakshasa partner may find the Manushya partner as weak or unambitious, while the Manushya partner may see the Rakshasa partner as domineering or egoistic. Frequent arguments and power struggles are common, making long-term bonding difficult.
All hope is not lost, though. With some conscious effort and being open to each other’s differences, a Manushya-Rakshasa relationship can definitely work. Compromise, patience, and giving each other space are really important. Appreciating each other’s strengths and being open to counseling if needed can really help build a meaningful lifelong partnership, even between those who seem so unlikely matched in astrology.
Communication Difficulties
Members of the Rakshasa gana tend to be more dominating and forceful in their communication style. They can come across as aggressive or pushy to the mild-mannered Manushya partner. This can lead to frequent arguments and hurt feelings. Compromise and understanding will be key. The Rakshasa partner should aim to be more gentle and considerate, while the Manushya partner may need to stand up for themselves more assertively at times.
Different Values
Manushya people tend to value relationships, sociability, and harmony. Rakshasa folks are often more pragmatic, valuing power, control, and practical gain. This can translate into very different views on ethics, money, ambition, and leisure activities. Finding common ground and respecting each other’s differences will help strengthen the bond between these contrasting value systems.
Physical Compatibility
On a physical and sensual level, these two ganas can be quite compatible. However, the energetic and forceful nature of the Rakshasa partner may at times, seem draining or overwhelming to the Manushya partner. It’s important for the Rakshasa partner to give the Manushya partner space when needed and for the Manushya partner to speak up about their limits.
Advice For A Successful Union Between The Ganas
To have a successful marriage between the partners of Manushya gana and Rakshasa gana, communication, and compromise are key.
- Express your feelings openly and honestly. Don’t bottle emotions up, as this can lead to resentment and conflict. Talk about your needs, desires, and any issues you’re facing.
- Make time for bonding. Do small things together each day, like cooking a meal, going for a walk, gardening, etc. Engage in larger shared hobbies and social activities on the weekends.
- Be willing to meet in the middle. No two people are exactly alike, so you’ll need to compromise when you don’t see eye to eye. Try to understand each other’s perspectives, then come up with solutions you’re both satisfied with.
- Give each other space when needed. While bonding time is important, it’s also healthy for partners to pursue their own interests and maintain their independence. Make sure you each have time for your own hobbies, friends, and alone time.
What’s The Verdict?
Don’t get too hung up on astrology. Yes, your gana might influence you a little, but it doesn’t define you. What really matters is how well you and your partner vibe with each other. Do you really connect and understand each other? Are you both willing to compromise and work through any issues? At the end of the day, it’s about cherishing each other even with your differences.
Instead of worrying so much about doshas or gunas, just focus on finding someone you genuinely care about and want to build a life with. Every relationship is going to have its ups and downs, but with patience, kindness, and love, you can work through anything.
