Basics on Rashis in Vedic Astrology
Rashi in Jyotish or sign in western astrology comes from the sanskrit words ra - shi which is composed of two half’s, ra and shi. Ra is indicating Rähu or northern lunar node; and Shi is derived from Shiki which is one of the names of Ketu, or southern lunar node. All the rashis are hence indicating this material creation in which we exist from beginning to the end of our lives.
