What is a Moon Sign (Rashi)
Moon sign which is also known as Rashi in Vedic Astrology is very important part of Hindu Astrology. As sun will transit each sign, similarly the Moon is also transiting one of the signs at the time of native’s birth. This becomes the Moon sign.
Like in Sun Sign, Sun is transiting through that Sign and in Moon signs Moon is transiting through that sign. As per the Vedic astrology or the Hindu Astrology, the relevance of Moon over human behavior is much stronger than the influence of Sun.
Unlike the sun which stays in each Zodiac sign for one month, the moon stays in each sign for little over two days. The sun signs of the Zodiac define our personalities while the moon signs define our emotional or subconscious nature.
This means that the moon controls our senses and brings out any hidden characteristics upon subjection to stress and other emotional conditions. Here is a look at the significance of the moon signs to our Zodiac and how they eventually affect our personalities and relationships with our family members and friends.
