How this is worked out
Each rasi's month is read from the positions of the planets through the month, counted from that Moon sign, following the classical rules for transits (gochara).
This is general guidance for everyone born under the rasi. Your own birth chart and running dasha decide far more — see them in the Nava app.

How do I know my rasi?
Your rasi is the sign the Moon was in when you were born — your birth star (nakshatra) decides it. The stars of each rasi are listed at the top of its page, and the Nava app works it out from your birth details.
