🔵 Module 2 — Rasi (Signs)

Order matters

The 12 signs run Aries → Pisces in a fixed order. Each spans 30°, so the zodiac wraps 360°. Memorise the order — every other concept (lordship, navamsa, house counting) is built on it.

Pancha Mahabhutas (Elements)

Fire (Agni): Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. Earth (Prithvi): Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. Air (Vayu): Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. Water (Apas): Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. Akasha (ether) is the substrate — not assigned to a sign in the basic 4-element scheme.

Modalities

Chara (movable / cardinal): Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn — initiators. Sthira (fixed): Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius — consolidators. Dwiswabhava (dual / mutable): Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces — adapters.

Sign Lords

Sun → Leo. Moon → Cancer. Mars → Aries, Scorpio. Mercury → Gemini, Virgo. Jupiter → Sagittarius, Pisces. Venus → Taurus, Libra. Saturn → Capricorn, Aquarius. Rahu and Ketu have no rulership (they are nodes, not bodies).

Memory trick

Walk the lords outward from the Sun: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn — that's the sequence of planets in their solar distance. Cancer (Moon) and Leo (Sun) sit at the centre, and the lords mirror outward in both directions.
