What this does not mean

A rashi is a thirty-degree sector used to place planets in a chart. It is not, by itself, a personality diagnosis. The current Vedic corpus supports the structural fields above; Bodhastra will not fill the gap with unsourced sun-sign adjectives.

Bodhastra documents what astrological traditions have said, and when they started saying it. It is presented as cultural history and entertainment. Nothing here is medical, psychological, financial or predictive advice, and nothing here is a claim about what will happen to you.
