Rashi Guide

The 12 rashis of Vedic astrology are the zodiac signs through which planets travel. Your Moon sign (rashi) is the single most important indicator of your personality and emotional nature.

The Fire Signs

Aries (Mesh), Leo (Simha) and Sagittarius (Dhanu) are fire signs - energetic, confident and action-oriented. They lead, inspire and move fast, but can be impatient.

The Earth, Air and Water Signs

Earth signs (Taurus/Vrishabh, Virgo/Kanya, Capricorn/Makar) are practical and grounded. Air signs (Gemini/Mithun, Libra/Tula, Aquarius/Kumbh) are intellectual and social. Water signs (Cancer/Kark, Scorpio/Vrishchik, Pisces/Meen) are emotional and intuitive.

Fixed, Movable and Dual Signs

Fixed signs (Vrishabh, Simha, Vrishchik, Kumbh) are stable and determined. Movable signs (Mesh, Kark, Tula, Makar) are dynamic and initiating. Dual signs (Mithun, Kanya, Dhanu, Meen) are adaptable and versatile.
