Rashi refers to the sidereal zodiac sign that contains the Moon at the moment of birth. Vedic astrology weights the Moon (chandra) heavily — daily horoscopes (rashifal) are typically read by Moon sign, not Sun sign, because the Moon governs the mind and emotional rhythms. The 12 rashis are: Mesh (Aries), Vrishabh (Taurus), Mithun (Gemini), Kark (Cancer), Singh (Leo), Kanya (Virgo), Tula (Libra), Vrishchik (Scorpio), Dhanu (Sagittarius), Makar (Capricorn), Kumbh (Aquarius), Meen (Pisces).
