To understand astrology to the depths is synonymous to forming a clear idea about the zodiac. Vedic astrology requires a deeper study of the Nirayana or the sidereal zodiac. The other zodiac, or the tropical zodiac (Sayana), is used in Western astrology. In both systems, the 360 degrees of the zodiac circle are divided into 12 equal parts of 30 degrees. This is because, in both systems, the calculations encompass one full year or a cycle of 12 months.
In the tropical zodiac, the planetary motion of the earth is measured against the fixed position of the sun in the Spring Equinox. On the other hand, in the Sidereal zodiac, the planetary motion of the earth is measured against the constellations or stars, which are understood as the fixed background for reference.
The relative position of the sun and the moon in these 12 houses of the zodiac are held as important indications to predict the future of an individual. Since there are 12 zodiac signs, the sun travels through each for approximately 1 month. The position of the sun is known as the Lagna.
The Lagna calculation is fairly easy because the changes in the sun’s position occur over a longer period (30 days). It must be noted that both the sun and the moon are considered Graha, or planets in Vedic astrology.
However, the moon completes a circle of 360 degrees across all houses of the zodiac in one month. The position of the moon at the time of birth is sometimes also called the Raashi. The calculation can be quite difficult compared to the Lagna because the moon’s position changes every 2.5 days.
The 12 Raashi According to Jyotisha
Why are the sun and moon held at such high importance? This is because these planetary bodies are the most obvious on Earth and, hence, thought to exert the deepest influences. When Lord Krishna assumed the Vishvarupa (as described in the Bhagavata Gita), he described the sun and the moon as his two eyes! So, it is believed that the Mahavishnu oversees the earthly plane by the light of the sun in the day and by the moon during the night.
Jyotisha considers moon signs to calculate the Raashi because this system is consistent with the calculation of the position of the Nakshatras. The Nakshatras are 27 in number and define the position of the moon over the year (12 months) across the sky.

Nakshatras are also used in the formulation of medicines and rituals to counteract the harmful effects of planetary placements or adverse planetary periods.
Understanding Nakshatras and their meaning necessitates a thorough understanding of Vedic astrology. Astrologers employ the Nakshatras, along with other components of a birth chart such as houses and planets, to give individuals with insights and forecasts based on their unique astrological profiles.
