Nature and traits
Simha (Leo) is a fixed fire sign ruled by the Sun. People with the Moon in Simha are often generous, dignified, confident and warm-hearted, with a natural sense of leadership and a love of recognition. They are loyal to those who trust them and protective of their family and friends. Emotionally they are proud and open-hearted, and they shine when appreciated. Leadership, administration, politics, the performing arts, teaching and government service often suit them. Their growth lies in humility — letting others share the stage, and finding confidence from within rather than from applause.
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.
