A rashi is a 30° slice of the zodiac, and the twelve rashis form the backbone of Vedic astrology. Your Moon sign (Chandra Rashi) is the rashi the Moon occupied at your birth and is often considered more important than the Sun sign in Jyotish. Each rashi has a ruling planet, an element (fire, earth, air or water) and a quality (movable, fixed or dual) that together describe its temperament, strengths and compatibility.
