Fair-minded, relationship-oriented, uneasy with imbalance of any kind. Tula weighs both sides so carefully it can delay the choice itself.

## 01What Tula shapes

A rāśi is not a personality type on its own. It is the sign your **Moon** (mind) or **Ascendant** (body/approach to life) occupied at birth. Under Venus’s rulership and the Air element, Tula leans toward the qualities above, strongest when the ruling planet is well-placed and strained when it is afflicted.

None of this settles anything by itself. It is the classical association of a sign, informative rather than conclusive on its own.

## 02Nakṣatras inside Tula

Each rāśi spans 30° and contains parts of three nakṣatras (each 13°20′ wide). Your exact Moon nakṣatra, which sets your Vimśottarī daśā, depends on precisely where within Tula the Moon fell.
