Tula rashi nature
People with the Moon in Tula are often polite, charming and diplomatic. They dislike conflict, have a good sense of beauty and style, and are often the ones who bring people back together after a disagreement.
Seeing every side of a question can make decisions slow, and wanting peace may lead them to agree when they do not. Saying what they really think, kindly but clearly, is a common lesson for them.
Strengths
- fairness and balance
- tact and good manners
- a sense of beauty and design
- teamwork and partnership
- calming a tense room
Things to watch
- indecision
- avoiding a needed disagreement
- depending on others for approval
- spending on looks and comfort
Fields commonly linked with Tula rashi: law and mediation, design, fashion and the arts, public relations and diplomacy, business partnerships and trade, counselling and human resources, beauty and wellness.
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 Tula rashi
Tula covers 30° of the sidereal zodiac, which holds nine nakshatra padas. Each pada gives a first letter traditionally used for a baby’s name.

| Chitra चित्रा | 3, 4 | 0°00′ to 6°40′ | Ra, Ri (रा, री) |

| Vishakha विशाखा | 1, 2, 3 | 20°00′ to 30°00′ | Ti, Tu, Te (ती, तू, ते) |
See the baby naming tables and the name meanings for names that start with these letters.

Tula rashi in relationships and matching
A Tula Moon is romantic and considerate and feels most itself in a partnership. They value harmony, courtesy and shared time. Because they avoid conflict, they need a partner who invites honest talk so small issues do not pile up quietly.
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 Tula, the rashis that score full Bhakoot and have a lord friendly to Venus are Makar (Capricorn).
| With | Bhakoot | Maitri | Of 12 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mesh (Aries) | 7: 1/7 | 3 | 10 |
| Vrishabh (Taurus) | 0: Shadashtak (6/8) | 5 | 5 |
| Mithun (Gemini) | 0: Nav-pancham (5/9) | 5 | 5 |
| Kark (Cancer) | 7: 4/10 | 0.5 | 7.5 |
| Singh (Leo) | 7: 3/11 | 0 | 7 |
| Kanya (Virgo) | 0: Dwi-dwadash (2/12) | 5 | 5 |
| Vrishchik (Scorpio) | 0: Dwi-dwadash (2/12) | 3 | 3 |
| Dhanu (Sagittarius) | 7: 3/11 | 0.5 | 7.5 |
| Makar (Capricorn) | 7: 4/10 | 5 | 12 |
| Kumbh (Aquarius) | 0: Nav-pancham (5/9) | 5 | 5 |
| Meen (Pisces) | 0: Shadashtak (6/8) | 0.5 | 0.5 |
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 Tula rashi now
On 27/10/2026, Tula rashi has neither sade sati nor dhaiya. Its next sade sati runs from 22/10/2038 to 08/12/2046.
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.
Tula rashi and the Libra 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 Tula rashifal (in Hindi) for your Moon sign. The English Libra horoscope on this site is by Western sun sign, a different system: use it only if your sun sign is Libra. The Libra 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.
← Kanya · All 12 rashis · Vrishchik →
Lord, element, quality, dignities, padas and letters follow the standard tables; the traits are as commonly given and differ a little between texts.
