Nature and traits
Tula (Libra) is a movable air sign ruled by Venus, symbolised by the scales. People with the Moon in Tula are often gracious, fair-minded, sociable and diplomatic, with a strong sense of beauty and justice. They value harmony in relationships and are good at seeing both sides of a question. Emotionally they need partnership and feel most at ease when things around them are balanced. Law, diplomacy, design, fashion, the arts, counselling and business partnerships often suit them. Their growth lies in decisiveness — trusting their own judgement and accepting that a little disagreement can be healthy.
In Vedic astrology "rashi" usually means the Moon sign — the sign the Moon occupied at birth, in the sidereal zodiac. It is often different from a Western sun sign.
