The twelve signs in Vedic astrology are called “rashis” in Sanskrit. The rashi is determined by the moon’s position at the time of birth, and Jyotish astrologers claim the moon sign is more accurate in describing an individual’s potential personality traits. Vrishika corresponds to the Western astrology Scorpio sign.
Vrishika Rashi Personality Traits
A traditional Vrishika is often the most intense of all twelve of the rashis, and can be courageous, dominating, hardworking, serious, stubborn and passionate. A number of people born under Scorpios possess a deep sense of curiosity, and will investigate with great interest to get to the crux of the situation. Some will be quite complex in nature, becoming secretive and suspicious, and even raising barriers when he/she feels uncertain.
Some born under this sign can be overbearing and even manipulative, and will concentrate on promoting their own agenda with little regard for others. However, this determination to succeed is one of their major strengths and many Vrishikas live life on their own terms.
Like the Western sign of Scorpio, Vrishika rashis are intense and can make very loyal friends, and equally formidable lifelong enemies. A few can possess the need to take revenge when they feel wronged. If this situation arises, the individual may expend lot of effort and time creating strategies against their enemies.
Certain Vrishikas have immense inner strength can find success in many fields, ranging from architecture, mechanics, fine arts to journalism. Many may profit from investments in business, though some can make it on the sly rather than by honest means. Many love competition, and can do well in sales and competitive sports.
In love, most Vrishikas are zealous, passionate and ardent, choosing partners by instinct. Vrishchikajatakas (those born under Scorpio) are most compatible with Kark (Cancer) fellow Vrishika and Meen (Pisces).
