Regarding the three temperaments Gana|A classification of the 27 stars into three groups: Divine (Deva), Human (Manushya), and Demon (Rakshasa), representing a person's basic nature or 'vibe':

The stars Ashvini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, and Revati are declared to be of the Divine Temperament. original: "devataganah"

The three "Purvas" (Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashadha, Purva Bhadrapada), the three "Uttaras" (Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada), and the stars Rohini and Bharani are called the Human Temperament. original: "manavī"

The stars Krittika, Magha, Ashlesha, Vishakha, Shatabhisha, Chitra, Jyeshtha, Dhanishta, and Mula are known as the Demon Temperament. original: "rakshasagana"

In matchmaking, if both individuals belong to the same temperament, it is excellent. A match between the Divine and Human temperaments is considered average. However, a match between a Human and a Demon, or a Divine and a Demon, is said to lead to "Death or Constant Quarrel." original: "mrityuh kalaho" One who is of the Demon temperament is often seen as forceful or intense, and the Human temperament may feel overwhelmed or "blunted" by their energy. This is why such a union is generally avoided unless other planetary strengths compensate for the friction.
