With the Sun gracing your 1st house, dear Virgo, today is all about embracing your personal power and vitality. You'll feel a renewed sense of confidence and a strong urge to take charge of your own path.
Rashi is your moon sign, not your sun sign
This is the part most rashifal readers are never told. A rashi is the sign the Moon occupied at your birth. A Western zodiac sign is where the Sun was. The two agree only by coincidence — for most people they are different signs entirely.
It matters because a rashifal is cast against the moon sign. So this page is yours if your Moon is in Kanya — which needs your birth time and place to establish, not just the date. A free Kundli will tell you which rashi you are, and it is often not the one people assume.

Nakshatras in Kanya
Uttara Phalguni (2nd–4th pada) · Hasta · Chitra (1st–2nd pada)
A rashi spans 30 degrees and is made of two and a quarter nakshatras. Which nakshatra the Moon fell in is what decides your Vimshottari dasha sequence, so it matters more than the rashi for timing.
