Your Vedic Zodiac Sign And What it Reveals About You

Have you ever read your horoscope and couldn't find a correlation between your zodiac sign and the way you behave in real life?

You could use Indian astrology to calculate your Vedic zodiac sign in order to gain further insight into your destiny and learn more about your personality.

 

What is Vedic Astrology?

The term “Vedic astrology” refers to an ancient form of astrology that originated in India and takes its name from the collection of religious scriptures in Hinduism.

Its roots can be traced back thousands of years. It is also known as Indian Astrology, Hindu Astrology, and Jyotisha or Jyotishya. Jyotisha or Jyotishya literally translates to “Science of Light.”

The movements and positions of the planets in relation to time are explained by Vedic astrology, as are the effects of those movements and positions on humans and other beings that live on Earth.

In Vedic astrology, there are 27 different constellations. These constellations consist of the 12 signs of the zodiac, 9 planets, and 12 houses. Each house and planet is said to represent a different aspect of human life.

Depending on when a person is born, the 12 signs are distributed among the 12 houses and the 9 planets are placed in different houses. A Vedic chart is the visual representation of the snapshot of the signs and planets.

The only thing that separates Vedic astrology from other forms of astrology is its interpretation of the meaning of these arrangements and how they relate to humans and other beings.

 

 

The difference between Western and Vedic Astrology

The method that is used to measure the zodiac is the biggest difference between Western and Vedic astrology.

Vedic astrology primarily uses the sidereal zodiac, while Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac.

In the sidereal zodiac, the stars are taken as a fixed background, but in the tropical zodiac, the movement of the planets is measured at the position of the Sun at the vernal equinox.

The only difference between the two systems is that the Western one has the origin of the ecliptic longitude shifted by approximately 22 degrees or days.

As a result, the planets in the Western charts are in the previous sign about 80% of the time.

It is important to keep in mind that the dates for the Sun's entry into the signs vary from year to year as a result of precession values. These dates should be verified by a sidereal astrologer for your specific year of birth.

 

 

How the Vedic zodiac is divided

The 360 degrees of the zodiac signs have been divided into 12 equal parts, called Rasi or signs, of 30 degrees each, for the purpose of showing the planetary positions and calculations, etc., according to the principles of Indian astrology.

Your “Rasi” is the zodiac sign that your Moon is in at the time of your birth. Your Rasi provides insight into aspects of your personality, attitude, and appearance.

There are nine Grahas, or planets, that have an influence on our lives, according to Vedic Astrology. Seven of these are actual celestial bodies: the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn.

The other two are known as shadow planets and their positions are determined mathematically. Their names are Rahu and Ketu. Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto are not mentioned in any of the Vedic astrology books.

These nine planets each have their own unique Rasis, each representing something unique in our lives. They have their own unique inherent qualities and influence different aspects of our lives.

Everything depends on how these planets are placed and in which Rasis they are. These are names of the 12 Rasis, which are the signs of the zodiac in Indian astrology as well as their rulers:

1. Aries or Mesha is ruled by Mars.
2. Taurus or Vrishaba is ruled by Venus.
3. Gemini or Mithuna is ruled by Mercury.
4. Cancer or Karka is ruled by the moon.
5. Leo or Simha is ruled by the sun.
6. Virgo or Kanya is ruled by Mercury.
7. Libra or Thula is ruled by Venus.
8. Scorpio or Vrishika is ruled by Mars.
9. Sagittarius or Dhanur is ruled by Jupiter.
10. Capricorn or Makara is ruled by Saturn.
11. Aquarius or Kumbha is ruled by Saturn.
12. Pisces or Meena is ruled by Jupiter.

 

 

12 Vedic zodiac signs according to Indian astrology

A Vedic horoscope can provide precise information about the future and can identify the exact moment in a person's life at which a certain event will happen.

If you want to have your Vedic horoscope drawn up, you will need accurate information about your date of birth, place of birth, and time of birth.

It is important to keep in mind that Vedic astrologers place a primary emphasis on the position of the Moon rather than that of the Sun.

Since they will shift over the next few years, you will then need to recalculate your Vedic zodiac sign.

 

 

Mesha (April 13/14 – May 13/14)

People born under Mesha are similar to those born under Aries in terms of their personalities. Both are naturally daring, ambitious, courageous, impulsive, and independent.

Since they are more prone to becoming aggressive and expressing their anger than any other zodiac sign, they can sometimes let the situation get the best of them.

However, they have a relatively short temper and do not hold grudges toward others. They hate it when others interfere in their business because they prefer handling things on their own.

They thrive on competition and are quick to respond to provocation. They are highly intelligent and full of creative ideas.

Meshas are known to be somewhat stubborn; even after experiencing setbacks, they will try again and won't give up until they are convinced that their beliefs are incorrect.

People born under Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, or Aquarius are attractive to you and you get along well with them.

This sign's romantic partners admire their daring spirit and the fact that they strive to have fun and variety in life.

They are romantic by nature and loving and compassionate. On the other hand, they are dominant by nature.

 

 

Vrishaba (May 13/14 – June 14/15)

In Vedic astrology, Vrishaba is the bull ruled by Venus. Vrishaba are known to be determined and stubborn people who will stop at nothing to achieve whatever they have set their minds to accomplish. They are similar to Taurus.

Vrishaba has a patient and conservative nature. He is not very daring or impulsive, but rather reliable and consistent in his behavior.

They are not easily provoked, but once they are, they can get physical. When they have made up their minds about something, they're usually stubborn.

You like things to be as consistent as possible and strive to live an orderly life. Nevertheless, once this zodiac sign has found someone whom they can trust, they will never let them down/

They are very loving and caring people, despite the fact that they don't express their affection very openly.

Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces are the five zodiac signs that Vrishaba finds most attractive.

 

 

Mithuna (June 14/15 – July 15/16)

According to Vedic astrology, Gemini is regarded as a masculine sign. With Mercury as its ruling planet, this sign is outgoing and enjoys making new friends and mingling with people from all walks of life.

People born under Mithuna are naturally quick-witted, humorous, and sociable like those born under Gemini

Mithunas are exceptionally bright, perceptive, and full of brilliant and unique ideas. They appreciate life and make the most of every moment.

Since they are so charming and romantic, nobody can become bored in their company, which makes them perfect partners for a romantic relationship.

Unfortunately, one of their weaknesses is an inability to remain still, and as a result, they are constantly keeping those around them on their toes.

People born under Mithuna find those born under Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius to be attractive and make a good couple.

 

 

Karka (July 15/16 – August 16/17)

People born under Karka are emotional, sensitive, and sentimental, and they place a high priority on having a happy family life. These traits remind us of Cancer.

Romantic by nature, they make very loving and enduring partners who believe in the idea of a soulmate relationship and long-term commitment.

Karkas don't consider their lives to be finished or fulfilled until they have discovered their lifelong companion.

They have a motherly nature, and as a result, they are excellent parents because they are very caring and affectionate towards their children.

People born under Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, or Pisces are very attractive to Karka.  Karkas are susceptible to sudden shifts in mood, much like Cancers.

They can be quite comedic and are excellent company when in a good mood. On the other hand, in a bad mood, they are the worst thing that could happen to anyone.

 

 

Simha (August 16/17– September 16/17)

According to Vedic astrology, Simha is regarded as the greatest leader who strives relentlessly to achieve the top spot. They are the most courageous sign in the Indian zodiac because the Sun is their ruler.

People born under Simha are extremely ambitious and dominant, and they thrive when they are in the spotlight.

Since you are so self-reliant, confident, and determined, you are able to easily motivate and inspire those around you.

With vanity and pride as their defining characteristics, they can also be easily flattered. In spite of their dominant nature, these individuals are naturally romantic and caring.

They are authoritative parents, but they are also extremely loving and concerned for their children. They are a great match for those born under Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Gemini.

 

 

Kanya (September 16/17 – October 16/17)

People born under Kanya have excellent oratory skills and make great public speakers. Since you have a natural tendency to think logically, making decisions comes naturally to you.

Kanyas, just like Virgos, are true perfectionists. Because they are very methodical, specific, and picky about making sure everything is right, they pay attention to the tiniest details.

In addition, these individuals have a high level of intelligence and a quick wit. For this reason, they can be picky and demanding at times.

They have to constantly analyze their personal lives and romantic relationships, so they are not exactly the most romantic of the zodiac signs.

Despite this, they are reliable partners and parents who are responsible for their actions. They are attracted to those born under Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces, and Cancer.

 

 

Thula (October 16/17 – November 15/16)

People born under Thula in the Vedic zodiac are known to value peace more than any other sign. Their indecision is one of Thula's most serious flaws.

You might get bogged down in the insignificant details of a decision in an effort to remain diplomatic and balanced, but this could delay a positive outcome.

They are naturally outgoing, talkative, and social, which makes it easy for them to meet new people and form new friendships. In addition, their friends respect them because of their sharp intellect and quick wit.

Since they are naturally romantic and lovable, Thula people have very successful love lives. Even when they are in love, they take their time to make decisions, but once they do, they are very good at making their partner happy.

Signs like Sagittarius, Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, and Leo make good partners for those born under Thula.

 

 

Vrishika (November 15/16 – December 15/16)

There are many ways in which Vrishika's personality is comparable to that of Scorpio; both are known to be mysterious and intriguing.

Because of your sharp mind and emotional depth, you can influence others' behavior very easily. As strong-willed as they are, Vrishikas have a tendency to experience life to the fullest and may even overdo it.

Since they take revenge when they feel they have been wronged, they have a reputation for being vengeful and self-indulgent.

They have a powerful attraction to the opposite sex and others are just as strongly attracted to them. Anyone who marries this sign will never have to worry about their relationship lacking love.

They are wonderful, loving parents, but rather than expressing their affection in the traditional manner, they have their own special way of showing it.

Capricorns, Pisces, Taureans, Cancers, and Virgos are most compatible with Vrishikas.

 

 

Dhanur (December 15/16 – January 14/15)

Dhanur's way of life places a strong emphasis on adventure and autonomy. They live each day to the fullest and are constantly on the lookout for exciting new opportunities and experiences.

People born under Dhanur have a lot of luck. They are admirable when it comes to their willingness to be open and honest.

Because of their charm, intelligence, and success, Dhanurs never lack the company of the opposite sex. They are respectful and honest partners in a romantic relationship, as well as responsible and caring parents.

People born under Aquarius, Aries, Gemini, Leo, and Libra are likely to catch their eye.

 

 

Makara (January 14/15 – February 12/13)

Makaras are very serious and devoted people who are always careful when starting new adventures and like to think carefully about every step before taking action.

They tend to be very successful in life because they are very down-to-earth, practical, and ambitious.

They don't like overindulging in pleasures and certainly do not waste money, but they are willing to put in a lot of effort in order to accumulate possessions and wealth.

They have an extraordinary ability for being patient, waiting for good things to come their way or turn the way they want.

In comparison to the other signs, these workaholics move at a smaller pace when it comes to matters of the heart, such as love and romance.

Although Makaras are not particularly exciting and fun as partners, they make up for this lack of excitement and fun with a very comfortable and affluent lifestyle.

They are extremely disciplined parents who raise up their children in a well-planned and organized manner. They are a good match for those born under Pisces, Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, and Scorpio.

 

 

Kumbha (February 12/13 – March 13/14)

Kumbhas, who are similar to Aquarius, attract those around them with their eccentric ideas and profound thoughts. Your sociability and friendliness contribute to your charisma and popularity.

They are exceptionally bright and quick-witted, and as a result, they leave a great impression on everyone. They enjoy life, and those who are licky enough to share it with them do so too.

Despite the fact that Kumbhas have a strong connection to their feelings, they often prioritize others' needs over their own.

People born under this sign are thought to be shrill and crazy, and as a result, they are often viewed as stubborn and unconventional.

This can be a burden for their partner, so only those who are looking for an original and passionate partner should consider dating Kumbha.

The most compatible signs for Kumbha are Sagittarius, Aries, and Libra.

 

 

Meena (March 13/14 – April 13/14)

In Vedic astrology, those born under Meena are easygoing and friendly. In addition, they have a great sense of humor, which contributes to the fact that they are one of the most well-liked people.

Even though they always give the impression that they have everything under control on the outside, they have a hard time determining what they want out of life.

Meenas are highly adaptable, and can easily become insecure and doubtful under the influence of other people. They also have a tendency to be quite lethargic and lazy at times, and they live in their own fantasy world.

Meenas are highly romantic and accommodating partners who rarely impose their views or rules on others. They're also very loyal.

They have a tendency to be negligent parents because they give their children a lot of freedom. These dreamy souls are most compatible with those born under Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, and Capricorn.
