Rashi (Sign)

There are 12 Zodiac Signs in Astrology. Zodiac Signs are Twelve 30° divisions of the Heavens. The Sun enters each Zodiac Sign in its yearly ecliptic. Zodiac Signs act as heaps (clumps) of stars or containers for the Nakshatras (Asterisms or Lunar Mansions). Each Zodiac Sign corresponds with the 12 Adityas (Solar Deities or Avatars of Surya, the Sun God).  There are debates in the Astrology community about if the Tropical or Sidereal Zodiac should be used. I use the Sidereal Zodiac. The Sidereal Zodiac appears to be more accurate in my study and practice of Astrology. Below, I will list the Sidereal Zodiac Signs used in Vedic Astrology. The Dates are Based on the Current Lahiri Ayanamsa (Most Commonly Used) and are subject to change with time.
