Astrology Terminology - Nature and Classification of Zodiac Signs

Students of astrology must go beyond just looking at the Rashi Chakra; a complete understanding of the technical terminologies used in analysis is essential. When examining a horoscope or a query, the intensity of results is determined based on the sign's nature, rising direction, and color. Mastering these terms makes prediction faster and more accurate.

1. Short, Medium, and Long Signs

Signs are categorized into three types based on their rising duration. This is particularly useful in Muhurta (electional) determination.

Category	Zodiac Signs
Short Signs (Hrasva)	Aries, Taurus, Aquarius
Medium Signs (Sama)	Capricorn, Gemini, Cancer, Sagittarius, Pisces
Long Signs (Deergha)	Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio

2. Sirshodaya and Prishtodaya Signs

This classification is based on the direction in which the signs rise in the sky. It helps in determining the success of an undertaking.

Sirshodaya (Rising by the Head): Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Aquarius.
Prishtodaya (Rising by the Back): Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Sagittarius, Capricorn.
Ubhayodaya (Rising both ways): Pisces.

3. Tattva and Life-Force Nature
