Frequently asked questions

Which letters are for Tula rashi?

Tula rashi covers nine Padas across Chitra, Swati, Vishakha. Under the commonly used convention, the starting letters are Ra, Ri, Ru, Re, Ro, Ta, Ti, Tu, Te.

Is Tula the same as Libra?

Tula is the Indian (Vedic) name for the sign that Western astrology calls Libra. They look alike but are calculated differently: Indian astrology uses the star-based (sidereal) zodiac, so a person's Tula Moon sign can differ from their Western Sun sign.

How do I know my baby's rashi?

The rashi is the sign the Moon was in at the moment of birth. The easiest way is to find the Nakshatra and Pada from the birth time, because each Pada belongs to one rashi. Our Nakshatra finder shows the rashi along with the Nakshatra and Pada.

Must the name start with a Tula letter?

Practices vary between families and communities. Many families use the letter of the Nakshatra Pada, which falls in a particular rashi. Others choose an everyday name freely. Your family elders or priest can advise on your tradition.
