Kanya Rashi Meaning
Kanya rashi (Virgo) spans 150° to 180° of the sidereal zodiac. Its symbol is the maiden, its ruling planet is Mercury (Budh), and it is a earth sign. It covers the last three padas of Uttara Phalguni, Hasta and the first half of Chitra. In panchang, the Moon's rashi gives the daily Chandra rashi, and the Sun's entry into Kanya is Kanya Sankranti.
In Simple Terms
Kanya Rashi is Virgo, the 6th sign of the sidereal zodiac. Its exact use depends on the wider panchang context: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, vaara, and local sunrise.
