In Jyotish, the zodiac signs are called Rashi. Rashi is pronounced like RA-SHE.
The whole zodiac belt is divided into twelve equal parts and each part is 30 degrees.
The Rashi starts from Mesha (Aries) to Meena (Pisces) and also maps to our bodies.
Mesha - Head.
Vrishabha - Face.
Mithuna - Arms.
Kark - Heart
Simha - stomach.
Kanya - Hips.
Tula - space below the navel (sexual organs)
Vrischika - Hidden parts (Procreative and Anus)
Dhanus - Thighs.
Makara - Knees.
Kumbha - Shank and ankles.
Meena - feets.
