The Tula Moon

Tula, ruled by Venus, seeks balance, fairness and harmony. A Tula Moon is charming, diplomatic and happiest in partnership, with a fine sense of beauty and justice. Its challenge is decision: weighing every side can mean delaying a choice.

Your rasi is the sign the Moon occupied at birth. The Lagna and the rest of the chart shape how it shows up in you.

Any other sign scores the full 7 points.
