Steady, sensory, slow to move and slower to let go. Vrishabha builds what lasts — comfort, resources, loyalty — and resists change on principle.

## 01What Vrishabha 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 Earth element, Vrishabha leans toward the qualities above, strongest when the ruling planet is well-placed and strained when it is afflicted.

None of this is a verdict. It is the classical *tendency* of a sign — a lens, read against the whole chart.

## 02Nakṣatras inside Vrishabha

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 Vrishabha the Moon fell.
