Connection between Rashi and Indian months





Overview of Zodiac, Solar, and Lunar Months

The zodiac consists of 12 signs (Rashi) that complete the zodiac cycle over 12 months. The months reflect the motion of the sun and the moon, and they are divided into two types:

  1. Solar Month: Reflects the period when the sun enters a new sign, starting from Aries and moving through all the signs.

  2. Lunar Month: Typically begins with Amavasya (New Moon) and ends with the next month's Amavasya. However, some regions consider the lunar month from Purnima (Full Moon) to the next Purnima.

Each Rashi has its own unique characteristics influencing different aspects of life, while the solar and lunar months reflect the outer personality and emotions of a person.

Most Indian festivals are calculated based on the lunar month. Below is a chart that shows the connection between the Rashi, lunar months, and solar months.
