Gender of any Nakshatra is used in Vedic astrology for matchmaking but if we deeply analyze this, we come to know a rather fascinating fact that the gender signifies our mental inclination towards material things and how we manipulate life’s challenges for our survival.

They are generally soft-spoken, unlike the name of the Gana, but they raise their voice whenever required.
In Indian philosophy, there are three Gunas, known as - Sattwa, Rajas, and Tamas. These are known as the three processes that build a successful life. The Guna of Magha Nakshatra is Tamasic which can make those of this Nakshatra short-tempered, irritable and egoistic in nature.

Magha Nakshatra is governed by the water element, which signifies that those born in this Nakshatra will have great memory retention ability. Their understanding and grasping power will also be good.
However, if Moon in Magha Nakshatra gets afflicted by the malefic planets, the person will be angry, unforgiving and revengeful.
Birds are the highly spiritual creatures, which came into life to give us the message from the universe. Each Nakshatra has a particular bird symbol, which shows us that the energy related to that bird is residing within us related to that particular constellation/Nakshatra.
The bird symbolic to Magha Nakshatra is the Eagle. Eagle has the ability to optically discern everything at one time because of their ability to soar to great heights. This makes them see and observe things minutely.

This is akin to us coming in the network coverage area of the Nakshatra we are born under, and thus getting a proper signal from it, which helps us rejuvenate and connect better with the world.
Ashwini-Magha: Another karmic but not the most healthy relationship for Ashwini. Magha is one which brings a lot of unsettled conflicts between the both of you. Understand that these conflicts make you grow, just as much if not more than the healthy ones. This is a complicated relationship since both of you have unrealistic expectations of adoration instead of focusing on factors for a long-term stability.
Temperamental match between you both is 21/36 which is a 58% on compatibility scale.
Bharani-Magha: Bharani recognizes the façade of confidence Magha puts up, to top it all, they can be arrogant as well as insecure. Magha doesn’t understand why a fiery person like Bharani is sexually diffident towards them. The reason is easy to understand. One wants sensuality, other wants purely sex. This may place the relationship on rocks.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 20/36, which is 55%.
Krittika-Magha: Trust, respect and real love is the biggest question mark in this relationship. They both believe in the façade they see of each other. Krittika has no intention to get into useless things and issues in life and Magha cannot live without creating a ruckus out of petty things. This causes argument along with the need to prove oneself stronger and dominate the other, often by threatening. A challenging relationship with considerable ugliness.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 19/36, which is 50%.
Rohini-Magha: Rohini wants love and romance. Magha only wants sex. Rohini cannot decipher how can someone have sex without love or romance.

Magha’s sexual escapades will create distrust and your emotions will be thrown out of the window.

Mrigashira-Magha: Magha can be in a relationship while having sex with 5 other people and no one finds out. They think everyone is the same. Mrigashira cannot be in a casual relationship ever. While Magha may agree to be in a committed relationship, sexual commitment will never be a parameter within the dynamics. What that means is that Magha would like to have sex with any and everyone it finds attractive or lustful of without any second thoughts irrespective of being in a relationship. Mrigashira disapproves of it, obviously.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 15/36, which is 48%.
Ardra-Magha: A karmic relationship with huge ups and huge downs.

Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 21/36, which is 58%.
Punarvasu-Magha: Magha can be full of wonder and wanderlust about the travel experiences of Punarvasu, and it shows.

Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 17/36, which is 50%.

The whole relationship goes downhill rapidly.

Magha-Magha: Same Moon signs are known to have similar interests and complexities. This relationship works because both of you are pro-sex and want enough.

Hasta-Magha: Hasta here has a karmic relationship with Magha. This is not the best one and has low compatibility as well due to unresolved past issues. Hasta can be warm, gentle and kind in love but not so with Magha. Magha can be completely selfish and criticizing as well, making it all hard.

Anuradha-Magha: Anuradha is a cool constellation believing in the idea of real and spiritual love, they can love almost anyone since they’re so fluid about their attitude towards it.

Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 23/36, which is 66%.
Jyeshtha-Magha: Jyestha reserves the rights of whether to be with you or discard you. Jyestha is everything a Magha wants in a partner, but not vice-versa.

Purva Ashada-Magha: Purva Ashada are creative and talented which attracts Magha and sex is fun with them, however Magha soon forgets the reason why they’re with Purva Ashada when they focus too much on their need for sexual fulfilment and Purva Ashada might just be more secure and happier with some space to themselves, making Magha feel rejected.

Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 5/36, which is 15%.
Shravana-Magha: Shravana is yet another sensitive sign and Magha has zero understanding of how Shravana’s emotions work. Magha loses their sense of right and wrong with Shravana and can treat them as a bully who treats students in school poorly. Shravana can get hurt immensely due to such behavior.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 3/36, which is 10%.
Dhanishtha-Magha: Very less compatibility and even lesser faithfulness brews in this relationship. Dhanista is a lion and Magha is a rat.

Shatabhisha-Magha: Shatabhisha is Magha’s best relationship. They both want the same things - lots of sex and lots of materialism. They connect well on all levels.

Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 24/36, which is 66%.
Purva Bhadrapada-Magha: Very less compatibility and even lesser faithfulness brews in this relationship. Purva Bhadrapada is a lion and Magha is a rat.

Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 20/36, which is 55%.
Uttara Bhadrapada-Magha: Uttara Bhadrapada is a person with a strong sense of responsibility and not frivolous about sex like Magha. Magha cannot live without it and Uttara Bhadrapada has controlled senses. Magha needs to try hard to access the sensuous part of Uttara Bhadrapada if they want to have a relationship where they feel fulfilled.
Temperamental match (guna), between you both is a 17/36, which is 50%.
Revati-Magha: Magha feels inadequate in front of Revati and cannot live up to their ideals. Magha hasn’t explored love at all and is all pro-sex.
