Know the Basic Nature of Your Ascendant

Astrology is a diverse subject that is governed by many essential factors and celestial bodies. In Vedic Astrology, the moon signs or Rashi are given importance as they can describe a lot about people and their connection with the universe.

Astrology predictions aren’t necessarily answered as to what exactly your future will be. They entail deep insight into whatever path you may be on and yourself based on the planetary and zodiac influence.
