Each of the twelve signs in Vedic astrology is called a “rashi” in Sanskrit. The rashi is determined by the moon’s position at the time of birth. Many Jyotish astrologers claim the moon sign is more accurate in describing an individual’s emotions and potential personality. Tula corresponds to the Western astrology sign of Libra and they share very similar traits.
Tula Rashi Personality Traits
Typical Tula rashi individuals are pleasant, compassionate, generous, charming, sociable and enjoy meeting people and dislike being alone. Tula like the Libran is symbolised by the scales and most members of this sign enjoy being in balance. Many can be described as fair, objective, diplomatic and enjoy peace and harmony. However, in trying to keep the peace they may appear indecisive, and may sit on the fence rather than upset anyone by disagreeing. Many Tula rashi admire beautiful things and may become collectors and big spenders since they like to live in a gorgeous environment.
Some born under this sign may be regarded as lazy, though it is more likely they have worked hard and require rest and recuperation. Vedic astrology suggests that the classic Tula can develop some negative qualities when not in balance such as restlessness, vanity and depression. Few get worked up when faced with opposition, preferring to be calm and some may take too long making important decisions because they can’t make up their minds or are debating each side of an argument. This analytical and balanced approach means that these individuals often make excellent lawyers and judges.
In love most are romantic, dynamic and faithful. Many believe relationships are based on an equal give and take, and take time to carefully choose a partner for marriage. Compatible matches can be found in Mithun (Gemini), Kumbh (Aquarius) or fellow Tula rashis.
