Kanya Rashi Overview
Kanya Rashi corresponds to Virgo, spanning 150 to 180 degrees of the zodiac. Ruled by Budh (Mercury) in its analytical mode, Kanya is an earth sign with dual (dwiswabhava) quality. Its symbol is the virgin or maiden holding a sheaf of wheat, representing purity, harvest, discrimination, and service. The nakshatras in Kanya are the last three padas of Uttara Phalguni, all four padas of Hasta, and the first two padas of Chitra. Generate your free kundali to see your Virgo placements.

Mercury gives them excellent communication skills combined with earth-sign practicality. They are careful with finances, preferring savings and conservative investments.
Relationships and Compatibility
In love, Kanya natives show affection through acts of service — they express care by doing helpful things. They seek partners who appreciate their thoughtfulness and share their values of health and order. Best compatibility is with Vrishabha (Taurus) and Makara (Capricorn) — fellow earth signs. Karka (Cancer) provides the emotional warmth they secretly need. They may struggle with messy or disorganized partners.
