12 signs · 30° each

The 12 rashis — Vedic moon signs.

A rashi is a 30° sign of the sidereal zodiac; your rashi is the sign the Moon occupied at your birth — the Janma Rashi. Every muhurat's personal layer (Chandra Bala) is judged from it. Below: each sign's Sanskrit and English name, symbol, ruling planet, element, lucky factors and the nakshatras it contains.

Rashis here follow the sidereal (nirayana) zodiac with Lahiri ayanamsa — the same convention as Bela's engine. The sign your horoscope calls “Moon sign” is the rashi; the Western “sun sign” of the same English name is a tropical-solar convention and differs by roughly 24°. Each rashi page lists its nakshatras and the Moon's days in the sign for the current panchang window.
