The 5th of the twelve rashis · 120°–150° of the sidereal zodiac
Singh Rashi
Leo Moon sign · ruled by Surya
Singh is your rashi if the Moon was in Leo when you were born: the rashi your rashifal, Sade Sati and naam akshar go by. People with the Moon in Singh are proud, generous and warm-hearted. Its lord is Surya, its nakshatras are Magha, Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni (pada 1), and a Singh child’s name traditionally begins with one of Ma (मा), Mi (मी), Mu (मू), Me (मे), Mo (मो), Ṭa (टा), Ṭi (टी), Ṭu (टू), Ṭe (टे).
Also written Simha, Simmam.
Singh at a glance
The sign’s own facts, the same for every Singh Moon.
People with the Moon in Singh
The Moon is the karaka (significator) of the mind, so its rashi says how a person feels and takes things. Your lagna and the rest of the chart shape it further.
They like to lead, to be respected and to do things well; they protect those who depend on them and give freely. Pride and the need for recognition can make them hard to advise. Singh is Surya's rashi, so they do well in positions of authority and in government work.
What Varahamihira says
Brihat Jataka says a person born with Chandra in Simha (Leo) is generous, bold in a fight, firm in principle, proud and devoted to the mother. Such a person is quick-tempered, stays angry over small things for long, and loves forests and hills. The verse cautions about troubles from hunger, thirst, stomach and tooth pain and worry of the mind, and describes a heavy jaw, a broad face and brownish eyes. Varahamihira adds (17.13) that this holds in full only when the Moon, Singh and its lord Surya are all strong at birth.
Brihat Jataka 17.5
Strengths
Surya, karaka of the father and of government, gives Singh a sense of duty to the family name, so it often settles a property matter fairly or speaks for the household before officials. Its will, in a Sthira (fixed) fire sign, lasts: once Singh takes up a cause at work or in the mohalla, it sees the matter through. People trust a promise a Singh makes in public.
What to watch
Keeping up appearances can cost Singh dearly, whether in a wedding planned beyond the family's means or a costly gift given to impress. Carrying every responsibility alone also tires even this strong rashi. Fixing a spending limit before a big family event, and handing one duty to a younger member, keeps both the purse and the energy intact.
Work, marriage and health for Singh
Jyotish also reads a chart with the Moon sign as its lagna (Chandra lagna): the 10th from the Moon for work, the 7th for marriage, and the rashi’s own limb and element for health. The 7th sign describes the partner’s nature, not the rashi your partner will have. This is tradition, not a forecast; your full kundli decides.
Work and career
For Singh the 10th sign from the Moon is Vrishabh (Taurus), ruled by Shukra (Venus), which points to the arts, hospitality, fine goods, vehicles and work that makes things beautiful. Singh's own lord Surya (Sun) adds government, administration and medicine, so a post in a government department, hospital administration or a family business in clothing or hospitality suits this pairing. Singh tends to do its best work where it is given charge and trusted with it.
Marriage
The 7th sign from the Moon is Kumbh (Aquarius), ruled by Shani (Saturn), so tradition reads a partner who is serious, steady and takes duty to heart. Kumbh is a Sthira (fixed) sign, as Singh is, so both partners hold their ground; the shaadi works when Singh gives the partner room and the partner gives Singh the respect that matters so much to it. Settling a small quarrel the same day, before it hardens, keeps home life warm.
Health
Tradition links Singh to the belly in the Kalapurusha, the zodiac pictured as one body (Brihat Jataka 1.4), and as an Agni (fire) rashi to body heat. The verse above also names the stomach and the teeth among its cautions, so regular meals, enough water and care of the teeth are the plain counsel here.
Singh’s nakshatras and naam akshar
Each rashi holds nine padas, a quarter of a nakshatra each. The pada the Moon was in gives the syllable a name traditionally begins with.
| Nakshatra | Lord | Span in Singh | Padas in Singh | Naam akshar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Magha | Ketu | 0°–13°20′ | all four | Ma (मा), Mi (मी), Mu (मू), Me (मे) |
| Purva Phalguni | Shukra (Venus) | 13°20′–26°40′ | all four | Mo (मो), Ṭa (टा), Ṭi (टी), Ṭu (टू) |
| Uttara Phalguni | Surya (Sun) | 26°40′–30° | 1 | Ṭe (टे) |
A dot under the letter marks the hard sound: Ṭa is ट, not त; Ḍa is ड, not द; Ṇa is ण, not न.
Shani, Guru and Rahu for Singh now
These houses are counted from your Moon, as the rashifal counts them. Sade Sati is Shani in the 12th, 1st or 2nd from the Moon, about seven and a half years; a dhaiyya is Shani in the 4th (Kantaka) or 8th (Ashtama), about two and a half. The same for every Singh Moon; your own chart decides how they land.
- Shani (Saturn)Singh is in Ashtama Shani (a dhaiyya, Shani in the 8th) until 23 February 2028. The dhaiyya lifts from 3 June 2027 until 20 October 2027, while Shani dips into Mesh (your 9th). Next comes Sade Sati from 13 July 2034 until 28 January 2041, then from 6 February 2041 until 26 September 2041. Sade Sati · dhaiyya dates.
- Guru (Jupiter)Now in your 12th house from the Moon, the house of expenses, sleep, travel abroad and letting go. After that it moves to your 1st (your own health, confidence and how others see you) from 31 October 2026, back to your 12th from 25 January 2027, back to your 1st from 26 June 2027 and to your 2nd (family, savings and the way you speak) from 26 November 2027.
- RahuNow in your 7th house from the Moon, the house of marriage, partners and business dealings. After that it moves to your 6th (work under pressure, rivals, debts and illness) from 5 December 2026.
Upay for Singh: its lord Surya
A rashi is kept strong through its lord. These are free; each says what it is for.
- Surya’s mantra, 108 times on Sundaysॐ सूर्याय नमःOm Suryaya Namah. The simplest mantra of Singh’s lord, said for confidence, health and standing with authority.
- Beej mantra (the seed mantra), for regular japa (chanting on a mala)ॐ ह्रां ह्रीं ह्रौं सः सूर्याय नमःOm Hraam Hreem Hraum Sah Suryaya Namah. For a fuller japa of Surya, said 108 times a day, when Singh’s lord needs strengthening: in its dasha (its planetary period), or when it is weak in your chart.
- Worship of ShivaThe deity tradition links with Singh, worshipped for calm and freedom from fear; a temple visit or a lamp at home is the simplest form.
A gemstone is not given by rashi. A stone that suits one chart can harm another, so it is chosen from your whole kundli.
Singh in kundli matching
Of the eight kootas (the parts of gun milan), four are read from the rashi alone, worth 15 of the 36 points: Varna (1, the sign’s class), Vashya (2, mutual attraction), Graha Maitri (5, the lords’ friendship) and Bhakoot (7, love and the family’s wellbeing).
- Best and hardest on the rashi aloneTaking Singh as the boy’s rashi, Singh scores highest of the other eleven with Mithun and Vrishchik (12.5/15) and lowest with Makar (2/15). Two Singh Moons together score the full 15 on these four. Swap the boy’s and girl’s rashis and Varna and Vashya can score differently, so each pair page gives both ways. The other four kootas, 21 points, need both nakshatras.
- BhakootBhakoot, worth 7 points, scores 0 when the two rashis sit 2nd–12th, 5th–9th or 6th–8th from each other. With Kanya and Makar the dosha stands. With Kark, Dhanu, Mesh and Meen it is cancelled, because the two lords are the same graha or friends to each other: Bhakoot still scores 0 of 7, but astrologers do not treat the match as blocked by it.
- Vashya (2 points)Singh is Vanachara (wild), a class of its own, so Vashya, the koota of mutual attraction, gives Singh the full 2 points only with another Singh Moon. With Mesh, Vrishabh and Makar (first half) it gives 1; with the rest, half a point. Dhanu and Makar change class at 15°, and the counts here take their first half: with a Moon in Dhanu’s second half Singh gets 1 point and with one in Makar’s second half, half a point.

Singh as Parashara describes it
The sign’s own make-up, apart from any graha in it.
- Colour: white
- Large body
- Quadruped (four-footed)
- Strong by day
- Direction: east
- Lives in forests
- Sattvic (pure)
- Shirshodaya: rises with its head
- Lord: Surya (Sun)
- Sthira (fixed), male, krura (harsh)
- Pitta (bilious) temperament
Sattva, rajas and tamas are the three gunas (calm clarity, drive and inertia). Vata, pitta and kapha are the three doshas of Ayurveda (air, fire and water in the body). A sign rises head first (shirshodaya) or back first (prishtodaya) by how its figure comes up in the east; the texts use this, with day or night strength, to time results. Parashara describes the sign itself; Varahamihira, above, the person whose Moon is in it, so the two can differ.
