Tula Rashi in English is Libra
Tula rashi (तुला) is called Libra in English. That is the short answer - but it is worth knowing what the two words actually refer to, because they are usually not the same thing.
Moon sign, not sun sign
A rashi is the sign the MOON was in at your birth. The Libra you read about in a newspaper column is a SUN sign. They carry the same twelve names, which is why they are so easily confused, and they point at the same sign for about one person in twelve. If you have been reading Libra horoscopes because somebody told you Tula is Libra, you may have been reading somebody else's.

- Is Tula rashi the same as Libra?
- The name is the same; what it describes usually is not. Tula rashi is where the MOON was when you were born, which is what Vedic astrology reads. A western Libra horoscope is written for the SUN. Both are real, and they agree for roughly one person in twelve.
- Why does my Libra horoscope not match my Tula rashifal?
- Because they are about different planets, and often about different signs. If your Moon is in Tula your rashifal is yours; your Sun may well be in another sign entirely.
- How do I know my rashi for certain?
- From your birth date, exact time and place - the Moon moves about one sign every two and a half days, so the time matters. The free birth chart works it out in seconds.
