The Vrishabha Moon

Vrishabha, ruled by Venus, is the sign where the Moon is exalted. A Vrishabha Moon is calm, steady and loyal, finding comfort in good food, music, nature and security. It builds slowly and keeps what it builds. Its challenge is letting go when change is needed.

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.
