Discover your Rashi
The Hindu horoscope (also known as Vedic or Jyotish) is much older than our Western zodiac. Its origins date back to approximately 1500 BCE, making it one of the most ancient astrological systems in the world. This system is made up of 12 Rashis, the term used in India to refer to the zodiac signs.
Unlike Western astrology, ancient Hindus practiced sidereal astrology. In other words, they based their interpretations on planetary positions (Grahas) in alignment with the constellations, as well as the five elements (Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and Ether), which the Vedas regarded as essential to the formation of matter. As a result, the Hindu zodiac differs in both approach and interpretation from its Western counterpart.
To highlight this contrast, it’s important to understand that the Hindu horoscope focuses more on spiritual aspects rather than material ones. Consequently, it offers deeper, more introspective insights into a person’s essence, exploring their behavior from a highly personal perspective.
Moreover, Hindu astrology is divided into three main branches, each serving a different purpose:
Siddhantas: Concerned with the astronomical study of celestial bodies.
Samhitas: Predict weather phenomena, natural disasters, economic shifts, wars, epidemics, and more.
Phalitha Jyothisha: Focused on personal predictions based on each individual’s birth chart.

This sign represents fire and is equivalent to Aries. Natives of this Rashi are extremely passionate and highly dynamic, with strong and magnetic personalities. Although they can be explosive in character—sometimes even cruel—their intensity is often rooted in a desire to protect. In relationships, they may be dominant to the point of possessiveness; however, their true intention is to shield those they love most.

Equivalent to Taurus, this sign is driven by ambition and the pursuit of comfort and financial security.

Equivalent to Gemini—though without the Western duality—this sign is known for its energy and intellectual drive. Natives are enthusiastic, enterprising, and love a good challenge.
