Find My Rashi
In Vedic (Jyotish) astrology, Rashi refers to the moon sign - the zodiac constellation in which the Moon was positioned at the time of birth. Unlike Western astrology, which uses the Sun sign as the primary personality indicator, Vedic astrology places far greater emphasis on the Moon sign (Chandra Rashi) and the Ascendant (Lagna). There are 12 Rashis in the Vedic system: Mesha (Aries), Vrishabha (Taurus), Mithuna (Gemini), Karkataka (Cancer), Simha (Leo), Kanya (Virgo), Tula (Libra), Vrishchika (Scorpio), Dhanu (Sagittarius), Makara (Capricorn), Kumbha (Aquarius), and Meena (Pisces).
Rashi plays a central role in Indian matrimonial matching (Kundali Milan), where compatibility between a bride's and groom's Rashi, Nakshatra, and Guna points is assessed before marriage. Marriage bureaus, shaadi.com profiles, and horoscope columns in newspapers like Dina Thanthi (Tamil) and Eenadu (Telugu) all reference Rashi. Many Indian families also consult Rashi charts to determine auspicious timings (Muhurta) for house-warming ceremonies, business launches, and vehicle purchases.
