Simha Rashi Meaning
Simha rashi (Leo) spans 120° to 150° of the sidereal zodiac. Its symbol is the lion, its ruling planet is the Sun (Surya), and it is a fire sign. It covers Magha, Purva Phalguni and the first pada of Uttara Phalguni. In panchang, the Moon's rashi gives the daily Chandra rashi, and the Sun's entry into Simha is Simha Sankranti.
In Simple Terms
Simha Rashi is Leo, the 5th sign of the sidereal zodiac. Its exact use depends on the wider panchang context: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, vaara, and local sunrise.
