Taurus covers 30 degrees and holds two and a quarter nakshatras: Krittika (pada 2 and pada 3 and pada 4), Rohini, Mrigashira (pada 1 and pada 2). Each nakshatra has four padas.
Traditionally, a Taurus ascendant is described as steady, practical and oriented toward lasting value. The ascendant is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of birth, so it depends on the time and place of birth.
With the Moon in Taurus at birth, a person seeks emotional steadiness and sensory comfort. In Indian astrology names and rashifal are usually read from the Moon sign.
To know your Moon sign and ascendant you need your date, time and place of birth. Our free kundli works it out in seconds.
