Tula
Tula, the Vedic name for Libra: the 7th rashi (sign) of the sidereal zodiac. Its lord is Venus, its element Air (Vayu: intellect, connection, and movement), and its nature chara, movable: it starts things, and moves on. In the Kalapurusha, the zodiac read as one body, it governs the lower back, kidneys, and pelvis. Because Vedic astrology measures against the fixed stars, Tula sits about 24° behind Western Libra, so a planet in the first 24° or so of Western Libra is usually in Vedic Kanya (Virgo).
