Rashi, in Vedic astrology, refers to the twelve zodiac signs that represent various personality traits, behaviors, and life patterns based on an individual’s birth chart. Each rashi corresponds to a segment of the celestial sphere and is associated with specific characteristics, ruling planets, and elemental attributes. The twelve rashis are Aries (Mesha), Taurus (Vrishabha), Gemini (Mithuna), Cancer (Karka), Leo (Simha), Virgo (Kanya), Libra (Tula), Scorpio (Vrishchika), Sagittarius (Dhanu), Capricorn (Makara), Aquarius (Kumbha), and Pisces (Meena).
Astrologers analyze a person’s rashi to provide insights into their strengths, weaknesses, relationships, and life events. The rashi is a vital component of horoscope readings and is often used to determine auspicious dates for important events, such as weddings or business ventures. Understanding your rashi can offer guidance and help you navigate life’s challenges.
