Singh rashi nature
People with the Moon in Singh are often confident, warm and dignified. They take charge naturally, stand by their word and are generous with time and help for the people they care about.
Respect matters a great deal to them, so being ignored or criticised in front of others can sting. Pride may stop them from asking for help. When they balance their self-respect with listening, their leadership brings out the best in people around them.
Strengths
- leadership and confidence
- generosity
- loyalty and a sense of honour
- creativity and presence
- courage under pressure
Things to watch
- pride and wanting the last word
- hurt when not appreciated
- difficulty asking for help
- spending to impress
Fields commonly linked with Singh rashi: government and administration, management and leadership roles, politics and public life, the performing arts and entertainment, medicine (especially the heart), education and mentoring.
These are tendencies of the Moon sign as commonly described, not predictions. The lagna, the other planets and the running dasha shape each person far more than the rashi alone.
Nakshatras and name letters of Singh rashi
Singh covers 30° of the sidereal zodiac, which holds nine nakshatra padas. Each pada gives a first letter traditionally used for a baby’s name.

Singh rashi in relationships and matching
A Singh Moon is loyal, warm and openly affectionate, and enjoys making a partner feel special. They want to feel admired and respected in return. Honest appreciation and a little patience with their pride make a relationship with them generous and bright.
In Kundli milan two of the eight kootas depend on the rashis alone: Bhakoot (7 points, counted from one sign to the other) and Graha Maitri (5 points, the friendship of the two lords). For Singh, the rashis that score full Bhakoot and have a lord friendly to Sun are Mithun (Gemini) and Vrishchik (Scorpio).
| With | Bhakoot | Maitri | Of 12 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mesh (Aries) | 0: Nav-pancham (5/9) | 5 | 5 |
| Vrishabh (Taurus) | 7: 4/10 | 0 | 7 |
| Mithun (Gemini) | 7: 3/11 | 4 | 11 |
| Kark (Cancer) | 0: Dwi-dwadash (2/12) | 5 | 5 |
| Kanya (Virgo) | 0: Dwi-dwadash (2/12) | 4 | 4 |
| Tula (Libra) | 7: 3/11 | 0 | 7 |
| Vrishchik (Scorpio) | 7: 4/10 | 5 | 12 |
| Dhanu (Sagittarius) | 0: Nav-pancham (5/9) | 5 | 5 |
| Makar (Capricorn) | 0: Shadashtak (6/8) | 0 | 0 |
| Kumbh (Aquarius) | 7: 1/7 | 0 | 7 |
| Meen (Pisces) | 0: Shadashtak (6/8) | 5 | 5 |
Bhakoot dosha has well-known cancellations, and the other six kootas (36 points in all) come from the nakshatras, so no pair of rashis decides a marriage match on its own.
Sade sati and Singh rashi now
On 27/10/2026, Singh rashi has Saturn’s dhaiya (8th from moon). Saturn in the 8th sign from your Moon. A time to slow down, avoid unnecessary risks and expect some delays. Its next sade sati runs from 13/07/2034 to 26/09/2041.
Sade sati is a time that asks for patience and steady work, not a time to fear; how it is felt depends on the whole chart. The sade sati calculator lists every phase for a Moon sign.
Singh rashi and the Leo sun sign
Your rashi is the sign the Moon was in at birth, in the sidereal zodiac used in India (Lahiri ayanamsa). The Western sun sign is the sign the Sun was in, in the tropical zodiac. The Moon changes sign about every two and a quarter days, so a rashi has no fixed dates and cannot be read from the birthday alone, and most people’s rashi differs from their sun sign.
Read the daily Singh rashifal (in Hindi) for your Moon sign. The English Leo horoscope on this site is by Western sun sign, a different system: use it only if your sun sign is Leo. The Leo zodiac sign page explains that Western sign, its dates and traits.
How to find your rashi
- By date of birth: the rashi calculator works out the Moon’s sign, nakshatra and pada from your date, time and place of birth.
- By name: the rashi by name calculator gives the rashi linked with the first letter of a name.
- Your full chart: the Janam Kundli shows the Moon sign together with the lagna and every planet.
← Kark · All 12 rashis · Kanya →
Lord, element, quality, dignities, padas and letters follow the standard tables; the traits are as commonly given and differ a little between texts.
Questions about Singh rashi
What is Singh rashi in English?
Leo. Singh (Simha, सिंह) is the 5th sign of the zodiac. Vedic astrology reads it in the sidereal zodiac, so a person with Singh rashi is not always Leo by Western sun sign.

Sun (सूर्य). From the lord come the lucky day (Sunday), colour (gold, orange) and number (1) given on this page.
What are the name letters of Singh rashi?
Ma, Mi, Mu, Me, Mo, Ta (ट), Ti (ट), Tu (ट), Te (ट) (मा, मी, मू, मे, मो, टा, टी, टू, टे), one for each nakshatra pada in the sign. The pada comes from the exact time of birth, which the baby name calculator works out.
Which rashi is a good match for Singh?
