In Vedic astrology a “rashi” is the Sanskrit word for "sign," and like its Western counterpart there are twelve signs in all. The rashi is determined by the moon’s position at the time of birth, and Meen is parallel to the Pisces sign and the two signs share similar personality traits.
Meen Rashi Personality Traits
The archetypal Meen rashi is charitable, kind, noble, empathetic, imaginative and pious with focus on their spiritual path, but can caught up in their self-created dream world. Many feel torn between good and bad choices.
If feeling negative, they often tend to be sarcastic toward others. Some will run away and hide if feeling overwhelmed and the weak are likely to use alcohol and drugs in an attempt to escape reality. A number of this rashi enjoy the creative and performing arts yet don’t feel comfortable opening up to others. Many are stubborn, brave and independent and are ready to help without expecting reciprocation. Some may become sidetracked when bored and require focus, inspiration and motivation to give their best.
Many born of this sign are romantic, gentle and laid back. In love, the typical Meen is thoughtful and tender, dreaming of fairytale endings. This individual may be at risk of falling for the idea of love rather than falling in love with an individual.
This individual may be prone to exhibit negative traits like unreasonable jealousy, and this can lead to distress. Most value fidelity and this individual will likely be kind and affectionate to their spouse. Vrishika (Scorpio), Kark (Cancer) as well as fellow Meen rashis make good matches for Meenjatakas (those born under Pisces).
Meen Rashi Baby Names
In Vedic astrology, names beginning with “D” and “Ch” are recommended for Meen rashi. Here are some suggestions for names with meanings can be used for this sign:
- “Chanda” is an uncommon female name and means "moon" or "goddess."
- “Chirag” is a Hindu male name and means "lamp" or "light."
- “Dipak” is a popular Hindu boy name and is Sanskrit for "lamp."
- “Devi” is Sanskrit for Goddess and tantamount to Shakti, the female aspect of the divine, representing consciousness.
- “Dilip” is a classic masculine name that refers to the ancestor of Rama.
Many classic and meaningful baby names can be found for those born under the Meen or Pisces moon sign. The rashi may help parents to discover a child’s potential personality traits, though looking at the astrological birth chart as a whole is more accurate. It is helpful for parents to have names from each sign to select from at the time of the baby's birth, as the rashi cannot be predicted in advance.
