Rasi Palan
Rasi Palan is the traditional horoscope read from your Moon sign. Choose your Rasi to read the day, week, month and year ahead, written from the real movement of the planets through the signs counted from your Moon.
Vedic astrology reads daily life from the Moon, because the Moon moves quickly, about one sign every two and a quarter days, and stands for the mind and mood. Your Rasi is the sign the Moon occupied at your birth. If you do not know it, enter your birth date, time and place and it is found for you.
Mesha (Aries), Rishabha (Taurus), Mithuna (Gemini), Kataka (Cancer), Simha (Leo), Kanya (Virgo), Tula (Libra), Vrischika (Scorpio), Dhanus (Sagittarius), Makara (Capricorn), Kumbha (Aquarius) and Meena (Pisces). Each is ruled by a planet: Mars rules Mesha and Vrischika, Venus rules Rishabha and Tula, Mercury rules Mithuna and Kanya, the Moon rules Kataka, the Sun rules Simha, Jupiter rules Dhanus and Meena, and Saturn rules Makara and Kumbha.
Each reading counts the houses from your Moon sign to where the planets are now. The Moon's daily position sets the day's tone, Chandrashtama marks the two days or so when the Moon passes your eighth sign, and the slower planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu, colour the month and year. Each reading also gives a lucky colour, number and direction from the ruling planet of the day.
Your Nakshatra, the birth star, is a finer division of the Moon sign, and is used for Tarabalam and Chandrabalam when choosing good times. Rasi Palan gives the broad picture; for daily timing, pair it with your Nakshatra.
A Moon sign forecast is shared by everyone with that sign. For a reading that also uses your Ascendant, Dasha and full chart, open the personalised daily reading after saving your birth chart.
The weekly reading follows the Moon through about three signs and notes the days of Chandrashtama. The monthly reading follows the Sun into its new sign, which in the Tamil calendar is also the start of the month, and the fast planets Mercury, Venus and Mars. The yearly reading is built around Guru Peyarchi and Sani Peyarchi, the changes of sign by Jupiter and Saturn, because they decide the larger themes of health, money, family and work for each Rasi. When Jupiter moves into the second, fifth, seventh, ninth or eleventh sign from your Moon, the year is traditionally considered open and helpful.
