12 Rashis

The rashis are the twelve signs of the zodiac, each thirty degrees wide. Jyotish measures them against the fixed stars — the sidereal zodiac — so the signs stay aligned with the constellations that give them their names.

KUNDALI uses the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, the standard of Indian almanacs. Your rashi in everyday speech is the sign your Moon was in at birth.
