Today I’ll share with you a compatibility technique from Vedic astrology known as vasya, which essentially shows magnetic attraction between people. I’ll then guide you on how to interpret it in synastry.
These magnetic attractions can make a person feel so magnetically pulled and irresistibly attracted to another that it can make them feel like this is their true soulmate, their destiny, the one they’ve always been waiting for. There is a magical feeling, undeniable, and an attraction that is all biding – physically, emotionally and intellectually. There is a magnetism that essentially defies all logic and reason, and needless to say you will notice each other.
Let’s go through the signs, who feels magnetic attraction towards whom.
Please know that traditionally vasya is based on Moon signs, but through my professional practice with clients over the many years I have sometimes seen it work, to a lesser extend, with Sun signs also.
Please also know I use the Tropical system, which I have found to work best through my many years of experience as a professional astrologer working with clients, as well as my own research, knowledge and insights I’ve gathered through the years.*

*Please know that I use Tropical sign calculations, and while the above are of the Sidereal signs as written in the Vedic texts, I have personally and professionally, through real life practice and experience with clients over the years, seen it actually work better when applied through the Tropical signs. For example, above it stated that Gemini Moon in Sidereal is magnetically attracted to Virgo Sidereal; but I have seen it through my clients very powerfully work with Gemini Tropical magnetically drawn to Virgo Tropical, while I have not seen it work with Cancer Tropical (which is equivalent to Gemini Sidereal) magnetically attracted to Libra Tropical (which is equivalent to Virgo Sidereal). Please know that as a professional astrologer, I remain devoted to not only knowledge but also to my own research and insight I’ve gathered over the years; and that it is important to gather insights from real life experience, not just relying on texts because consciousness too evolves. For this particular topic I have found that the Tropical vasya works better and this is what I practice.
In synastry:
The first things we see in the magnetic attractions is that two couples share mutual magnetic attractions: Cancer and Scorpio and mutually magnetically attracted to each other; and Gemini and Virgo are also mutually magnetically attracted to each other. This makes the connection between these two very powerful.
For the rest of the signs, it is preferable to see the connection flowing from the man’s energy to the woman, i.e. to see the man magnetically attracted to the woman, so that the energy flows more powerfully and they are able to bond more deeply. I’ll explain this further below.
In synastry, the magnetic attractions can be a beautiful layer of depth and connection – because these will be felt quite tangibly and keep the pull for many years. These are powerful attractions and it really does make things quite irresistible.
A couple can be truly in love even without this celestial blessing of course, but naturally, if all the rest of the synastry is harmonious and emotionally connecting, they’ll have an extremely hard time resisting one another or staying apart if they should ever break up.
And this is where the warning comes and you need to be mindful of this: if you don’t have good synastry, this aspect can make it hard to see past the magnetism and into the issues of your relationship. This can put a bit of a veil around your eyes and you can’t see the reality of the other person, and you may end up staying in something not particularly healthy for you; or you may be mistaking magnetism and attraction for genuine love.
Vasya is not about genuine love – it is about magnetic attraction. So if you have this with a lover, then you’d better be compatible in other ways or you’ll both feel like flying in rosy coloured clouds while also miserable at the same time because you can’t separate even if it’s not good for you.
The one holding the magnetic attraction towards the other will basically feel like they would do anything for the other person. This is an aspect that also creates energy of innate giving towards the partner they are magnetically drawn to; which also emphasizes the need to understand clearly and objectively whether this is a healthy and balanced relationship. In a friendship aspect, if unbalanced, one friend can be constantly giving and the other may begin taking advantage of their friend’s kindness and empathy.
As mentioned, this aspect creates powerful attraction between two people – and if the rest of the synastry is problematic, this can make it very difficult for the person being drawn towards the other to let go if things do not work out. This can be even more problematic if the couple have some Pluto or Neptune hard aspects, of if they have karmic ropes. This is why it is good to be aware and have the clarity of mind, so that you discern properly on how you may truly feel, and to be able to see the reality of the other person and whether there is true love between you.
