The 12 Rashis (Zodiac Signs)
The rashis are the twelve signs of the zodiac, each a 30° arc of the sky. In Vedic astrology the sign the Moon occupies at birth is one’s rashi or moon-sign. Every rashi carries a ruling planet, an element and a temperament that colour the character of those born under it.
