Steady, sensory, slow to move and slower to let go. Vrishabha builds what lasts — comfort, resources, loyalty — and resists change on principle.
01What Vrishabha shapes
A rāśi is not a personality type on its own. It is the sign your Moon (mind) or Ascendant (body/approach to life) occupied at birth. Under Venus’s rulership and the Earth element, Vrishabha leans toward the qualities above, strongest when the ruling planet is well-placed and strained when it is afflicted.
None of this is a verdict. It is the classical tendency of a sign — a lens, read against the whole chart.
02Nakṣatras inside Vrishabha
Each rāśi spans 30° and contains parts of three nakṣatras (each 13°20′ wide). Your exact Moon nakṣatra, which sets your Vimśottarī daśā, depends on precisely where within Vrishabha the Moon fell.
