🕉️ Vedic Astrology
Your Rashi is the moon-sign that defines your mental constitution and emotional destiny in Vedic Jyotish.
In the ancient Sanskrit tradition, your zodiac sign is called a Rashi, which means "a collection" or "a heap" of stars. While Western astrology focuses heavily on the Sun's position, Vedic Astrology prioritizes the Moon Sign (Chandra Rashi) and the Ascendant (Lagna). These are considered much more accurate reflections of your inner psychology and outer destiny.
Unlike Western signs which are fixed to the calendar, Vedic Rashis are fixed to the actual stars. This creates a ~24 degree difference that makes Vedic readings incredibly precise.
The Moon changes signs every 2.25 days, making your Vedic Moon Sign a much more personalized and intimate portrait of your mind than the month-long Sun Sign.
Each Rashi is ruled by a planet and belongs to an element and a modality. Whether you are a fiery Aries (Mesha) or a watery Pisces (Meena), your Rashi provides the environment in which your life path unfolds. By exploring the signs above, you can understand how the cosmic energy was configured at the exact moment of your birth.
