Tula Rashifal for 16 Sep: Work, Love and Health

Aaj ka Tula rashifal, read from your Moon sign. Tula (तुला) is the 7th rashi, 180° to 210° of the sidereal zodiac, ruled by Venus, and it holds Chitra padas 3 and 4, all four padas of Swati and Vishakha padas 1 to 3. In English it is called Libra, but here it means the sign the Moon was in at your birth, not your birthday sign. Every line below names its graha, the house that graha holds from Tula and the classical verse behind it.

A time for patience?

Wednesday 16 September: the Moon is in Vrishchik, the 2nd sign from Tula, from 10:49 AM until Friday 18 Sep, 10:45 PM. Classically, the Moon in your 2nd asks for patience (money matters): keep an eye on spending.

A time for patience. By our count for Tula on 16 Sep, of the 9 grahas: supportive 5, mixed 2, asking for patience 2; the Moon leads the day.

The day changes at 10:49 AM, when the Moon moves into Vrishchik; both parts are shown.

Work, Love and Health

Work and Money?

Classically, Jupiter in your 10th is unfavourable on its own for work and money, but with Mars in your 9th the texts reverse it (reverse vedha), so it is counted as supportive, while the Moon in your 2nd asks for care with money: keep an eye on spending. Together they read as mixed.

Love and Family?

The Moon in your 2nd asks for patience; the texts name no result of it for love and family.

Health?

Classically, Saturn in your 6th favours all-round ease, but Mars in your 9th holds it back (vedha), so its support is held back on 16 Sep.

A name rashi is the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra's syllable. Each fact is given in at least two classical texts, and where the texts differ both readings are shown. Left out: the element (tattva), which only one of the texts we read gives (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 4); and any colour, number or stone for a rashi, which none of them ties to good fortune.

Questions

Tula Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Tula rashi?

Venus, the lord of Tula, is in Tula on 16 Sep, the 1st house, Tula itself, until 6 Nov, 1:04 AM. Venus rules Tula in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. Venus also rules Vrishabh.

Which name letters (naam akshar) belong to Tula rashi?

On 16 Sep, the Moon is in Tula, from Monday 14 Sep, 1:27 AM to 10:49 AM: a child born in those hours has Tula as janma rashi. Tula's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are Ra, Ri (Chitra 3–4); Ru, Re, Ro, Ta (Swati 1–4); Ti, Tu, Te (Vishakha 1–3). A name starting with one of them gives Tula as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.

Which nakshatras are in Tula rashi?

On 16 Sep, the Moon is in Vishakha, one of Tula's nakshatras, and in its pada 3 until 10:49 AM. Tula covers 180° to 210° of the sidereal zodiac: Chitra padas 3 and 4, all four padas of Swati and Vishakha padas 1 to 3, nine nakshatra padas in all, as every rashi has (Brihat Jataka 1.4, Hora Sara 1.13). If your rashi is Tula, your birth nakshatra is one of these.

What are Tula rashi people like?

They are described as respectful of the divine and of learned people, skilled in trade and in their work, wise, and helpful to their relatives; the texts give them a lean build and a prominent nose. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.7, Saravali 23.44 and Hora Sara 29.7 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon, Tula and its lord Venus are all strong in the birth chart, and Hora Sara 29.13 that a graha joining or aspecting the Moon changes it, so your own kundli says more than the rashi alone.

When do Sade Sati and Shani dhaiya start and end for Tula rashi?

Neither Sade Sati nor dhaiya is running for Tula on 16 Sep: Saturn is in Meen, the 6th house from Tula. The next dhaiya (ashtama, Saturn in the 8th) for Tula runs from 8 Aug 2029 to 31 May 2032, with Saturn stepping out of it from 5 Oct 2029 to 17 Apr 2030. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown, and is counted from the Moon sign as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 count it. Classically Sade Sati and dhaiya ask for steady effort and patience; neither is a fixed outcome.

When does the time change for Tula rashi?

Jupiter moves into Singh on 31 Oct, 12:03 PM, the 11th house from Tula; Rahu moves into Makar and Ketu into Kark on 25 Nov, 5:46 PM, the 4th and 10th houses from Tula (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 5 Dec); Saturn moves into Mesh on 3 Jun 2027, 5:28 AM, the 7th house from Tula. Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Tula, and each change above names the house it brings. The daily reading on this page weighs all nine grahas together, and no rashi has a good or a poor time as a whole.

What is Tula rashi in English?

On 16 Sep, at 5:25 PM, the Sun is in Virgo 23°39′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Singh 29°25′ by the sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology. Tula is called Libra in English, yet a rashi is the Moon's sign at birth in the sidereal zodiac, not the birthday sign, so someone whose birthday makes them Libra need not have Tula rashi.
