Nature and traits
Kumbh (Aquarius) is a fixed air sign ruled by Saturn, symbolised by the water-bearer who pours knowledge out for all. People with the Moon in Kumbh are often independent, humanitarian, inventive and loyal to friends and ideals. They think about the wider community and enjoy new ideas, science and reform. Emotionally they value friendship and freedom, and they show care through principle and action. Science, technology, social work, research, education and community organisations often suit them. Their growth lies in closeness — letting their warmth show to individuals as well as to humanity as a whole.
In Vedic astrology "rashi" usually means the Moon sign — the sign the Moon occupied at birth, in the sidereal zodiac. It is often different from a Western sun sign.
