In Indian astrology (Jyotish), Rashi refers to the 12 zodiac signs based on the Moon’s position at birth. Each rashi represents distinct personality traits, tendencies, and life themes. Your rashi (often called Moon sign) is widely used for horoscopes, matchmaking (kundli), muhurta (auspicious timing), and understanding emotional nature—complementing the Sun sign used in Western astrology.
