Rashi
Also known as: Sign, Zodiac sign
Rashi means zodiac sign in Vedic astrology.
Plain-English Meaning
A Rashi is one of the twelve signs, such as Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and so on. In a Vedic chart, signs are usually read in the sidereal zodiac.
Why It Matters
Western users often expect tropical signs. Vedic Rashi can differ because myjataka uses Lahiri sidereal calculation.
How myjataka Uses It
The site assigns planets, Moon, Lagna, and houses by sidereal Rashi, then reads house lords and timing through that structure.
