Meaning of Singh Rashi
Singh is the 5th Rashi of the Vedic zodiac, a fixed fire sign ruled by Sun. In the Kalapurusha, the cosmic body from which signs are assigned to parts of the body, it corresponds to the heart and upper back.
Traditional texts associate Singh with authority, self-expression, generosity, pride and leadership. It is the only sign ruled by the Sun. Because Sun rules the sign, the strength and placement of Sun in a chart shape how planets in Singh behave.
Nakshatras in Singh
Singh covers 30 degrees of the zodiac and contains parts of three Nakshatras. Each Nakshatra has four padas, and Singh holds nine padas in total.
- Magha, all four padas
- Purva Phalguni, all four padas
- Uttara Phalguni, pada 1
Exalted and Debilitated Planets in Singh
No classical planet is exalted in Singh. No classical planet is debilitated in Singh.
Exaltation and debilitation apply to the seven classical planets. Traditions differ on the signs of Rahu and Ketu.
Singh Rashi in a Kundli
Your Rashi is Singh if the Moon was in Singh at your birth. This differs from having the Sun in Singh, which gives a Singh Sun sign, and from having Singh rise on the eastern horizon, which makes it your Lagna. A Kundli reads all three, together with the house that Singh occupies in your chart.
