Though there are different systems that can be used for moon sign compatibility (and that are part of the Kuta system), we will only refer to the Gana System (Category system) that compares the Nakshatras of the respective partners.

When your and your partner's moon's position are in compatible Nakshatras i.e. in the same Gana, you will find that you both are at ease with one another. Here we can even talk about an excellent (moon sign) compatibility.

When the man's moon occupies a deva gana nakshatra and the woma's moon a manushya gana nakshatra, Hindu astrologers speak of a good (moon sign) compatibility.

When the woman's moon occupies a deva gana nakshatra and the man's moon a manushya gana nakshatra, Hindu astrologers talk about an average (moon sign) Compatibility.

When the man's moon occupies a rakshasa gana nakshatra and the woman's moon is in a manushya gana nakshatra, Hindu astrologers speak of (moon sign) incompatibility. The same is true when the woman's moon is in a rakshasa gana nakshatra and the man's moon occupies a manushya gana nakshatra.

When the man's moon is in a deva gana nakshatra and the woman's moon is in a rakshasa gana nakshatra there also is (moon sign) incompatibility.

When the woman's moon is in a deva gana nakshatra and the man's moon occupies a rakshasa gana nakshatra there also is (moon sign) incompatibility.
