Why the Ayodhya Ram Mandir Card
Meena is the last of the twelve rashis, and its lord is Guru, the planet Jupiter. It is the one sign whose card is not chosen by its graha: the Ayodhya card is kept in devotion to Shri Ram.
Families who prefer the card of the graha keep the Gayatri Yantra Card, as Dhanu (Sagittarius), the other rashi Guru rules, does.
When to begin
Thursday is Guru's day, and tradition begins the card on that day, at sunrise. The rest of the practice is the same for every rashi: how families begin a rashi's card.
The card
A keepsake of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, Ayodhya, consecrated in Pune. For those who could not travel there, and for those who came home wanting to remember.
Questions about Meena and its card
Why is the card for Pisces (Meena) a devotional one?
It is chosen for devotion to Shri Ram rather than by the sign's graha. For Guru's own pairing, families keep the Gayatri Yantra Card, as for Dhanu.
Is my rashi my Moon sign or my Sun sign?
Your Moon sign. Vedic astrology reads your rashi from the Moon at your birth, so Meena is yours if the Moon stood in it then. Moon sign or Sun sign says how to find it.
What if my kundali points to another graha?
In tradition the reading comes before the sign: when an astrologer reading your kundali names a graha, families keep that graha's card. When the kundali names another graha.
