[Mesha ( Aries ) Rashi looks like a lamb and is located at the head of Kalapurasha (Ursha major). It moves over pastoral lands and mountains. It lives in hidden places, fire, and the mines of metals and gems.]

Being the first sign of the Rashichakra, Mesha ( Aries ) represents the raw energy of life itself, which is the first step in being part of the universe.

Mesha Jatakas ( people born under aries ) are doers. Impulsive, spontaneous and headstrong, often self-centered, Mesha ( Aries ) is always, fearless and brave almost to a point of foolishness, but he never carries malice. Born leaders, Mesha ( Aries ) make their actions and presence felt. They want what they want and when they want life on their terms and don not compromise on it.

When a Mesha ( Aries ) sets out to accomplish something, he will literally `ram? his way to success. Mesha ( Aries ) individuals react in a physical way to everything. Their impulsiveness is seen when they dash off to achieve before they take time to reason things out intellectually. They harbour emotional and passionate nature. This trait inspires and flatters others, but it is their impatience and rash behaviour, which put one off. However their frustration and anger are also quickly forgotten. Often their unbridled enthusiasm backfires and they lose interest just as quickly as they gained it.

Active, fiery, high-spirited, energetic, athletic, charismatic, courageous, optimistic, and friendly, Aries are lively participants in the everyday bustle of life. Often where others tread softly, it is usually the energetic Mesha ( Aries ) who is willing to start difficult projects. However, it is also the Mesha ( Aries ) who often fails to finish things when details demand too much of attention or they simply lose interest. They have a tendency to allow their enthusiasm to exceed their actual ability. Before taking something apart, they don't stop to wonder if they can put it back together. In spite of the physical energy associated with Mesha ( Aries ), they are not above using the inability of others to keep up with them as an excuse for their own idleness. If they expect others to provide them with constant stimulation and are unwilling to find their own diversions, they become lazy.

Mesha Jatakas ( people born under aries ) never shy away from testing new grounds. Their approach may be construed at times as arrogant and domineering; it does take a lot of focus to be a leader. Incurably romantics at heart, they will profess undying love for their beloved - a promise they are most likely to keep. Ideal life partners are most likely to be other Mesha ( Aries ), Simha ( Leo ), Dhanu ( Aquarius ), or Vrishchika ( Scorpio ). They do make caring partners, although at times you might expect too much from your spouse, this will be more so in the case of men than the Mesha ( Aries ) women who will settle down to their partners' habits more easily, and as for the Mesha ( Aries ) men ? they don't like waiting for things.

[Vrishabha ( Taurush ) Rashi is like a bull and represents the face and throat of the Kaal Purusha (Ursha major). It resides in the summits of mountains, cowsheds, and other places of animal habitats and agricultural lands.]

Being the second Sign of the Rashi Chakra, Vrishabha ( Taurush ) Rashi is all about rewards. Unlike Mesha, who plunges headlong into the challenge of the game, Vrishabha ( Taurush ) Rashi love to reap the rewards.

Jatakas of Vrishabha ( Taurush ) Rashi don't start out with the intention of getting stuck. They simply want to get things done, and it is that steady, dogged persistence which begets the nickname 'stubborn'.

Their mind is closed to new ideas and a certain unwillingness to change, determined and do not buckle under pressure and adversity. They prefer to in a rather Zen-like peace. They are also extremely patient, and dependable along the way. The only kink in this well-oiled chain is the heckler in the gallery that tries to scold the Bull. Once the thunder dies down, they also prove to be the soppiest of sentimentalists and regain their Buddha-like stance, almost as if nothing happened!

Patient, loyal, caring, shy and reserved Vrishabhajataka ( people born under taurush ) are slow to anger but once annoyed, they will rage and turn ferocious and unstoppable. A little clumsy in both life and language, Vrishabhajatakas ( people born under taurush ) can be remarkably outspoken and expressive with speech and exaggerated hand and arm movements when enraged. They never undertake risky ventures and certainly are never rash because they are lazy and also because of their inherent need to hold on to their possessions. Good providers, they also like to live comfortably. Ruled by Shukra Graha (Venus) Vrishabha ( Taurush ) seeks the sensual pleasures and being a true admirer of beauty, material comforts are far more important than for other signs in the Rashichakra.

Their stubbornness, combined with laziness can create problems they will find difficult to deal with. Often they will make little or no effort to change the situation around them.

[Mithuna ( Gemini ) Rashi holds Veena and Gada (mace) and represents the hands and shoulders of Kaal Purusha (Ursha major). The places of dance, music, art galaries, artists, and entertainments are enveloped in its residence.]

The third sign in the Rashichakra Mithuna ( Gemini ) is the one who will be quick to tell you all about it because the one thing they adore is to talk, almost endlessly!

Ruled as they are by the Planet Budha (Mercury), Mithuna ( Gemini ) exhibit a delicious brand of mercurial energy. They are quick thinking, quick-witted and fast on their feet. It's their curiousity and cleverness that make them such a hit at cocktail parties. But they are not just good talkers - they also love to listen and learn. However, any social setting is good enough for a Mithuna ( Gemini ) since these folks are charming, congenial, and love to share themselves with their friends.

Mithuna ( Gemini ) mind drives them to talk, to converse and it is not always just idle chatter. They need more and more information to feed their intellectual inclinations. They probe endlessly for more information as the more it collects the better. They are supremely interested in developing their relationships. Sharing that knowledge later on with those they love is also a lot of fun. Mithuna ( Gemini ) are bright, quick-witted and is at the centre-stage in any party. Although rational and practical, they also have a surplus of imagination. However the fact that they are unsure which twin will show up half the time they are often considered fickle and restless. They can be moody and act on simple whims. While their effusiveness may be misconstrued as scheming by some, Mithuna ( Gemini ) generally have their hearts in the right place. It is this ample energy, which can also paint them as scatterbrained and unfocused but, behind all that restlessness, they are usually busy filing all that information away.

Funny, brimming with life, full of ideas, adorable, inconsistent, capricious, superficial, they are a bundle of maddening contradictions. They may deal in everything and are 'know-alls', but at the same time they also have the ability to master skills. Mithuna ( Gemini ) are versatile and have an amazing grasp of the subject they choose, although it may not interest them for long. They prize intellect and consider it to be the key to all things. At work, they are the clearest of thinkers, suggesting logical and well-thought-out ideas which make them an asset to any team. Their greatest strength lies in their ability to communicate effectively and to think clearly. Adventures of the mind are what the Twins are all about.

Bestowed with a cheerful face easily detectable from signs of anxiety, tension or unhappiness the Gemini face is a dead give-away when they try to hide sorrow behind their brand of wit and humour. If even for a short while, romancing a Gemini is likely to be interesting, adventurous and fun, but the fickle, almost uncaring attitude will manage to break many hearts before they finally settle down. Although affectionate Mithuna ( Gemini ) can be extreme flirts, But be sure that the partner shares the Mithuna ( Gemini ) sense of humour. Mithuna ( Gemini ) never stray if the family life is satisfying. However it is best not to rush headlong into marriage; give adequate thought before popping the question. Tula ( Libra ), Kumbha ( Aquarius ), fellow Mithuna ( Gemini ), and Mesha ( Aries ) are best suited as life partners for Mithuna ( Gemini ).

[Crab like Karka ( Cancer ) rashi lives in water and represents the chest of Kaal Purusha (Ursha major). It moves in Agricultural lands, waterbodies, riversides and picturesque places.]

The fourth sign in the Rashichakra, Karka ( Cancer ) love their home - their roots. Falling in the fourth house of the Kaalpurusha (Ursha Major), which denotes mother, Karka ( Cancer ) plays the same role. Farther the governing planet of the Rashi is Chandra (Moon), which rules over themind and denotes mother. This too enhances its role as mother The most empathetic zodiac sign, Karkas ( Cancer ) are often overly sensitive. They take great pleasure in the comforts of home and family and are at their best when all is peaceful at this front.

They nurture a maternal instinct, are domestic and love to nurture others. They adore large families, always providing for others, protecting and making a nest wherever they go. Karkas ( Cancer ) are traditional and prize family history and love communal activities. They also tend to be patriotic, waving the flag, whenever possible.

Karkas ( Cancer ) are more concerned with expressing emotions than on superficial conversations. They can appear to be moody, shy and too much like a baby. But on the contrary they are not shy, but protecting themselves against emotional exposure. Though very artistic and creative, often they get on the nerves for holding on to everything including wealth and even to every word that was ever said to them. Their mood swings are unpredictable -- sweet to cranky. The proverbial crab, they retreat into their shells, when hurt.

Extremely introvert and certainly not the easiest person to understand these crabs can hide emotions well beneath the tough exterior. Although kind and affable till the mood is stable, it is bitter and melancholic at the next, often feeling hurt unnecessarily. Trying to draw sympathy, Crabs can be fairly insensitive towards others, snapping, being rude and short-tempered. However, the seemingly rude behavior is only a clever means to hide their own insecurities and complexes -- almost like timid, hurt children. Karkas ( Cancer ) can be admirably kind, generous, understanding, charitable and gracious, if all is well with them.

Karkas ( Cancer ) can be seen standing by people in their time of need. Their good intuitive powers mostly put to good use in managing their own lives. Urges to travel to distant lands come but quelled since home is where you love to dwell.

Most often crabs hurt the ones most who have been good for them. They also tend to make a mountain out of the molehill and are prone to self-pity. Slightly untidy, this doesn't endear you to more stable signs. Unlike Dhanu, who have a place for everything, the Karkas ( Cancer ) idea is to put it somewhere, under the bed, in cupboards, anywhere -- not that you are not untidy -- you are the original hoarder. Karkas ( Cancer ) don't ask for much either, a comfortable home and sense of peace is what is most important. Crabs are also quick to help others and tend to avoid confrontation. In keeping with their nurturing bent, those born under this Sign enjoy their food. A hearty picnic in the park is heaven on earth to most crabs.

Karkas ( Cancer ) have a keen intellect and are good with their hands. They do well as painters, sculptors sales persons. However you are best when it comes to taking writing as a full-time profession. Most crabs will have reasonably good careers, although there will be a tendency to change to an entirely different field midway, say somewhat nearing 35 years. Money and material wealth are fairly important to and although nearly miserly with the money you earn, sudden windfalls and gains are often squandered away thoughtlessly.

Crabs romance those who are quite opposite to them in nature. They are strongly attracted to people who are confident, strong and successful. Although they fall in love all the time, their introvert nature and uneasiness in disclosing youre their true feelings makes many of these affairs one-sided. they are not likely to rush headlong into marriage, because in selecting a life partner, they are often governed by your their. Karkas ( Cancer ), Vrischika ( Scorpio ) and Meen ( Pisces ) will make good partners for Karkas ( Cancer ).

Simhajatakas ( people born under leo ) are born leaders. They detest being sly and sneaky and are very noble in their approach. The Lions gregarious personality easily stands out in a crowd. They are impossible to miss, since making an impression is the main goal for Simhajatakas ( people born under leo ) - a task they easily handle with the charisma that oozes out them.

However they are easily attracted to the rich, the bold, the famous, and the beautiful and are easily seduced by material wealth and luxury and believe in leading a grandiose life style.

Most of the Lions are the sporting types or something that is vigorously active that will generate considerable enthusiasm and excitement for them. They will plunge into them whole-heartedly, at least in the beginning. But then to continue even when tired is not one of their forte ! Professionally not suited for any lowbrow job, Lions do quite well in white-collar jobs, particularly as leaders or managers from a young age. Addicted to a comfortable life, they see to it that they manage to earn enough to meet the needs.

Simha ( Leo ) rashi is ruled by the Sun, the centre of the universe and as such they consider themselves indispensable and the centre of our collective living and those who would tell them otherwise had better look out. They are also warm and considerate and a lover with style, wooing the beloved in the most elegant manner. They wine, dine and shower expensive gifts and roll out the red carpet all the way.

[Kanya ( Virgo ) Rashi is like a maid holding a lamp and sitting on a boat, which is floating on water. It represents the abdomen of the Kaal Purusha (Ursha major). This stable sixth Rashi lives in the green places, places fit for sexual activity and artistic places.]

The sixth sign of the Rashichakra, Kanya ( Virgo ) are exacting in all they do. They are often the butt of all jokes for their being so picky and critical, but it serves the Virgins their mission: to help others. Kanyajatakas ( people born under virgo ) derive immense pleasure from serving and are the original worker bees.

Industrious, methodical, efficient, practical, logical, precise, methodical and a great sense of duty, and an utter perfectionist, a Jatakas of this sign often do not like to delegate and want to oversee every step of the operation themselves. Virgins are an asset in the workplace as no detail will be overlooked anytime, every time. They are also balanced and fair in their assessments.

Kanyajatakas ( people born under virgo ) are practical, cool-headed and thoroughly meticulous in their work, never unnecessarily swayed by emotions and even when sentiments run high, keeping a cool head to weigh their approach. Often quiet and reserved, tidy and perfect, the Virgins seldom shy away from taking on challenges and prove their mettle with hard work and a quiet determination. They gain success for their perfection and inability to ignore even the smallest of faults. Although not short-tempered, honest and forthright these Virgins do pick up arguments when anyone opposes them. They also tend to make bitter enemies, and remember events that happened a long time ago.

Kanyajatakas ( people born under virgo ) do well in science and mechanics, often inventing and developing appliances or other new things, even something as gardening tools. Fond of reading and writing and have a flair for handicrafts, some Virgins also make good performing artistes.

Kanyajatakas ( people born under virgo ) cannot sit still for long and also love to travel. Swift-footed and bundles of energy, both physically and mentally, their brain is in overdrive most of the time, which is why they get so much done. They are also good communicators and use their mental acuity to maximum advantage, however can also be prone to skepticism. They are also a studious lot, and can carefully analyze and tone down even their worst impulses. They enjoy studying and understanding every situation in great detail. However their perfectionist tendencies get in the way of their usual clear thinking. But reliable and practical and oh-so-useful to have around, Kanyajatakas ( people born under virgo ) are great assets to all groups.

Although Kanyajatakas ( people born under virgo ) are grounded and are rather humble and easygoing, they also do enjoy material possessions. Their greatest strength is in their practicality, sharp mind and attention to detail coupled with their willingness to serve. They will only surround themselves with what's right for them, which serves Virgins well in business, where their decisions are usually well considered. Eminently sensible and the ability to use their critical eye well, Kanyajatakas ( people born under virgo ) often fall prey to hypochondria because of extreme nervousness. Many of them face psychological problems, as Kanyajatakas ( people born under virgo ) tend to be compulsive worriers.

One will never hear about a Virgin's tempestuous relationships or turbulent love life. They are not the ones to cuddle or make a public display of affection, but love a quite romance. Vrishava, Makara or a fellow Kanya ( Virgo ) will appreciate a Kanyajataka's ( people born under virgo ) style of courtship. Sending flowers and quiet candlelight dinners at elegant places make Virgins happy and contented. The kind and loving nature is often lost in the no-nonsense and critical nature, which most often is a put-off. Always demandingperfection Kanyajatakas ( people born under virgo ) are easily disappointed if given anything less and unhappiness ensues from this that they do not overlook others' frailties. A Kanyajataka's ( people born under virgo ) obsession with order and neatness around the house can be quite infuriating to the unappreciating partner, who will never seem to meet exacting standards of a Kanyajataka ( people born under virgo ).

The seventh Sign of the Rashichakra, Libra is the charmer one. From this point in Rashichakra, a shift is also noticeable when the last six signs focus on the individual's contact with the world. The previous six concentrate on themselves.

Often misunderstood for their extra affection and friendship, they tend to be involved in a number of affairs. More so since they tend to get attracted to the opposite sex quite frequently, before getting into a life-long commitment they should weigh things carefully for themselves.

Polite and never likes to fight, far preferring to talk things through, they get the going through the force of their tongue.

[Looking like a scorpion, Vrishchika ( Scorpio ) Rashi represents the private parts of male and females. It dwells in places like caves, water bodies and poisonous shrubs, and places fit for venomous snakes, insects and pythons.]

Vrishchika ( Scorpio ), the eight sign in the Rashichakra, is the deepest and most intense of any of the signs.

They have an insatiable curiosity, which rouses their investigative spirits. These people love to probe and know how to get to the bottom of things. In this their keen sense of intuition certainly helps. They will promote their agenda and ensure that things go forward. This is often overbearing for others (it can be) and even self-destructive.

Undaunted, the Vrishchikajatakas ( people born under scorpio ) charge ahead, determined to succeed.

Even though the Vrishchikajatakas ( people born under scorpio ) will work very hard, if probed, their complex and secretive nature makes them suspicious and they will clam up and withdraw further.
