If Kanya is your rashi (Moon sign)
Inside, you worry and plan. Helping others calms you.
Earth signs are practical and steady. They like things they can see and build. Dual signs adapt easily and can see both sides.
If Kanya is your lagna (rising sign)
People see you as careful and helpful. You spot small mistakes.
Your lagna is the sign that was rising in the east when you were born. It changes about every two hours, so you need your birth time to know it.
When is the Sun in Kanya?
In the Indian calendar, the Sun is in Kanya from about 17 September to 16 October each year. That makes it your Sun sign if you were born then. Your rashi is different: it is your Moon sign, and it needs your exact birth date and time.
Nakshatras in Kanya
Kanya holds these nakshatras: Uttara Phalguni (pada 2, 3, 4), Hasta (pada 1, 2, 3, 4), Chitra (pada 1, 2).
