Understanding Your Moon Sign in Vedic Astrology
In Jyotish, the Moon sign (rashi) describes your inner life far more accurately than the Sun sign.
Western astrology leads with the Sun sign. Vedic astrology (Jyotish) leads with the Moon — the rashi the Moon occupied at your birth.
Why the Moon matters
The Moon governs manas, the mind. It describes emotional reflexes, comfort, memory and how you seek safety — the parts of you that appear when nobody is watching.
Finding yours
You need your date, exact time and place of birth. The Moon changes rashi roughly every two and a quarter days, so an approximate birth time can put you in the wrong sign entirely.
Using it well
Read your daily rashifal by Moon sign rather than Sun sign, and treat it as a weather report — helpful guidance, not a verdict.
