In Vedic astrology each of the twelve signs is called a “rashi” in Sanskrit. The rashi is determined by the moon’s position at the time of birth, and Kumbha is parallel to the Western Aquarius sign.
Kumbha Rashi Personality Traits
The classic Kumbh is friendly, intuitive, idealistic, sensitive, sympathetic yet distant, cold and unattached. Some make it difficult for others to get to know them. Many treasure their personal space, and can end up becoming lonely and isolated. Often, individuals born under this rashi have many friends and acquaintances, yet no best friend with a deep and meaningful relationship.
A number of people born under this sign are unconventional and may even appear peculiar and eccentric to others. Though most are not easily disturbed and generally patient, it is not easy to change their views on a topic.
Often, Kumbhas are humanitarian, charitable and want to make the world a better place with little preoccupation with money matters. Some will enjoy working for charitable causes, travel and spiritual pursuits. Those who manage to get to know a typical Kumbha rashi will find them fascinating and charming, and friends are likely to have interests in common. Many will like to take care of their partner surprising everyone by taking a keen interest in cooking and other domestic activities. Most are logical and accommodating in a relationship. As well as fellow Kumbhas, Mithun and Tula rashis are compatible partners for marriage.
Kumbha Rashi Baby Names
For those born under Kumbh, names beginning with “G” and “S” are recommended. Here are some suggestions for names with associated meanings that can be used for this rashi:
- “Gita” is a classic female name and means "song" in Sanskrit. The name often refers to the Bhagavad Gita and was sung by Lord Krishna to Arjuna when he was in a state of dejection on the battlefield.
- “Gopi” means "milkmaid" and is used for both males and females. Gopis are highly regarded in Hinduism as they took care of the sacred cows and served Lord Krishna.
- “Sachin” means "pure" or "strength" in Sanskrit and is another name of the Hindu god Shiva. This name quickly got popular with the success of cricketeer Sachin Tendulkar.
- “Sandhya” is an uncommon female name meaning "twilight." This is the name of the daughter of the Hindu God Brahma.
- "Sanjay" means "conquering in battle." The name "Sanjaya" is mentioned in the Bhagvad Gita as the blind king Dhritarashtra’s advisor and charioteer.
A variety of classic and meaningful baby names can be found for those born under the Kumbha or Aquarius moon sign. The rashi can help parents to discover a child’s potential personality traits.
As it is impossible to predicts a child’s rashi in advance, it is helpful for parents to have names from each sign to choose from. Read Indian Baby Girl Names by Rashi, Indian Baby Boy Names by Rashi and Hare Krishna Devotee Spiritual Baby Names for more information.
