Simha, Vrishabha, Mesha, Kanya, Dhanus, Thula and Kumbha are the first triangular (Moolatrikona) signs of the planets commencing with the Sun. In the case of Sukra, Sani, Ravi and Guru, the first 20 degrees of the signs Thula, Kumbha, Simha and Dhanus form the Moolatrikona and the rest Swakshetra, i.e., their own house. The first three degrees of Vrishabha form the exaltation portion of the Moon, and the rest her Moolatrikona. The first twelve degrees of Mesha are called the Moolatrikona of Kuja and the rest the Swakshetra. The first half of Kanya is the exaltation portion of Budha; the next ten degrees the Moolatrikona; and the last five degrees the Swakshetra. Kumbha is the Moolatrikona of Rahu; Mithuna the exaltation sign, and Kanya the Swakshetra.
