Vrishabha rashi (Taurus)
Vrishabha rashi (Taurus, वृषभ) is the earth moon sign ruled by Venus (Shukra), symbolised by the bull. It is a fixed (sthira) sign spanning the nakshatras Krittika, Rohini, Mrigashira. Your rashi is the sign the Moon occupied at your birth — the anchor of Chandra Bala in every muhurat.

The character of Vrishabha
The sign of steadiness, accumulation and the senses. A Sthira (fixed) earth sign ruled by Venus, Vrishabha is patient, material and loyal. Sthira rashis are classically preferred for things meant to endure — property, foundations, savings — so a Taurus Moon is a good anchor for lasting purchases.
Nakshatras in Vrishabha rashi
A rashi spans 30° and holds two-and-a-quarter nakshatras. The Moon passes through each of these mansions while it transits Vrishabha — the pada within the rashi decides the navamsa.
| Nakshatra | Span in Vrishabha | Class | Lord |
|---|---|---|---|
| Krittika | 0°00′–10°00′ Vrishabha | Mixed (Mishra) | Sun |
| Rohini | 10°00′–23°20′ Vrishabha | Fixed (Sthira) | Moon |
| Mrigashira | 23°20′–30°00′ Vrishabha | Tender (Mridu) | Mars |
