The Rashis (zodiac
signs) form the celestial background through which the planets move. At the
time of birth, each Planet or Graha
will be found in one of the (12) twelve Rashis/Signs. The Rashis/Signs will
have a great impact on the condition of the Planet/Graha (favorable or
unfavorable), as well as its unique qualities. Unlike the tropical zodiac that
is used in Western astrology, the Rashis/Signs are based on the position of the
actual stars. If one compares the nine Planets/Grahas to lights that radiate according
to our level of awareness in the areas of life explained above, then the Rashis/Signs
would be like the lamps the lights shine in. The color, shape and qualities of
the lamp will have a significant impact on the light inside it, and could help
the light get more focused and useful, or it could obstruct the light and
discolor it.
Like the 12 houses/bhavas,
we also have the 12 Rashish/Signs, i.e. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo,
Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, in the zodiac
belt each of which is governed by a ruling planet. Each planet rules two (2) rashis/signs. For Instance, Mars rules Aries and Scorpio, Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces and so on. At the time of birth the
rising star or Jupiter (As per Naadi) will be in a particular Rashi/Sign. Each
Rashi/Sign denotes a certain part of body of the Kaalpurusha, is either fixed, movable or dual, denotes a particular
color, duration, and has its own element. Let’s take for example, in the chart
below the rising sign/ascendant is placed in the Rashi/Sign of Taurus, so
Taurus will be the 1st house, Gemini will be 2nd House, and so on. In the same manner, in the same chart as
per Naadi system Jupiter is placed in the Rashi/Sign of Libra. The second house
will the Rashi/Sign Scorpio, third will be Sagittarius and so on.
Although I have been insisting about Naadi only, this illustration using the North Indian Chart and rising sign has been given only for understanding purpose.
