Today

The Moon moves through your 7th house today, bringing partnerships and close relationships into focus. Mercury favours your 1st house, opening clear thinking and useful conversations. Go slow with change and the unexpected, where Saturn asks for patience. A short dawn prayer keeps the day calm and hopeful.

Love & people: The Moon is on your seventh. Someone has you on their mind and is waiting for a sign — give a small one.
What to do about it: Do not sign or commit to anything you have not read twice.
Today's remedy: Offer a little turmeric or gram dal at a temple, or to an elder.

What this sign is

Leo (सिंह) is the 5th sign of the zodiac, ruled by Sun. It is a fire sign and a fixed (sthira) one — which together say most of what there is to say about how it behaves.

Being a fire sign, Leo acts first and thinks after — quick, warm, impatient with delay. Being fixed (sthira), it holds things — the one that sustains and resists being moved. Its ruler Sun adds its own colour on top of that, and in a real chart the ruler's position decides how much of this actually shows.

Ruler: Sun
Element: Fire
Modality: fixed (sthira)

Nakshatras in this sign

Magha
Purva Phalguni
Uttara Phalguni(shared with the next sign)

One thing worth knowing before you read any of this: in Vedic astrology your rashi is where the MOON stood when you were born, not the sun-sign the date ranges give. The Moon crosses a sign in about two and a quarter days, so the date table is right by luck rather than by rule — most people reading a column have been reading the wrong one.

This is the sign, not your chart

A rashifal is written for a twelfth of the world at once. Your own chart is cast from your date, exact time and place — and it says something no sign column can.
