About Virgo
Kanya refines. An earth rashi ruled by Budha, it notices the flaw everybody else walked past, and is constitutionally unable to leave it alone. This makes Kanya people extraordinarily useful and quietly hard on themselves. Their service is real — they help by fixing things — but the same instinct turned inward becomes a running audit. Kanya thrives when the standard is high and the self-criticism is not.
Kanya — known in English as Virgo — is the sidereal zodiac sign of the Maiden, ruled by Budha (Mercury). It is a earth (prithvi) rashi of dual (dwisvabhava) quality: in Vedic astrology that pair describes how a sign begins things, holds them, or adapts to them.
In the sidereal zodiac the Sun passes through Kanya from roughly 17 September to 16 October. Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, where Virgo runs from 23 August – 22 September. The two differ by about 24 degrees — the ayanamsa — which is why your Vedic rashi is usually the sign before your Western one.
Kanya contains Uttara Phalguni (Pada 2–4), Hasta, Chitra (Pada 1–2). Each rashi spans 30 degrees and holds two and a quarter nakshatras, so the nakshatra locates a planet far more precisely than the rashi alone, and it is the nakshatra that determines your Vimshottari dasha sequence.
In Indian and Nepali practice your rashi is your Chandra rashi — the sign the Moon occupied at your birth, not the Sun. The Moon governs the mind, and it is the Moon's daily transit counted from your rashi that a daily rashifal actually reads.
In traditional matching, Virgo tends to find easy ground with Taurus, Capricorn, where the element and the ruling planets agree. Pisces asks more work — not incompatibility, but a difference in pace and priority that has to be named rather than assumed. Ashtakoota Gun Milan looks at eight factors and not only the rashi, so treat sign-to-sign compatibility as a first indication rather than a verdict. Virgo Compatibility — Which Rashis Match Virgo

Frequently asked questions
What are the dates for Kanya rashi?
The Sun transits Kanya from about 17 September to 16 October each year in the sidereal zodiac. In the Western tropical zodiac, Virgo covers 23 August – 22 September. The roughly three-week gap between the two is the ayanamsa — the precession accumulated between the fixed-star zodiac and the equinox-based one.
Which planet rules Kanya?
Kanya is ruled by Budha (Mercury). When a Kanya chart is read, the condition of that planet — its sign, house, aspects and dasha — carries much of the weight.
Which nakshatras fall in Kanya?
Uttara Phalguni (Pada 2–4), Hasta, Chitra (Pada 1–2). A rashi spans 30 degrees and contains two and a quarter nakshatras, so the nakshatra fixes a planet's position far more precisely than the rashi, and it sets the Vimshottari dasha sequence.
Why is my Vedic rashi different from my Western star sign?
Because the two zodiacs start from different points. The tropical zodiac begins at the spring equinox; the sidereal zodiac used in Vedic astrology is fixed to the stars. They have drifted about 24 degrees apart, so people born in the first three weeks of a Western sign usually fall in the previous rashi.
Is rashifal based on the Sun sign or the Moon sign?
The Moon sign. In Indian and Nepali usage your rashi is the sign the Moon occupied at your birth. A daily rashifal reads the transiting Moon counted from that sign, which is why the prediction changes every day or two as the Moon moves.
