SIDEREAL ECLIPTIC DIVISION (RASHI 05 OF 12)♌︎ 05. Simha (Sidereal Leo) — 120° 00' to 150° 00'
Simha (Siṃha (Leya), Sidereal Leo) spans the sidereal ecliptic arc from 120° 00' to 150° 00'. The ecliptic longitude of Simha is measured from the fixed origin of Ashwini opposite the star Chitra (Spica). Within jyotish_corpus_core_v3, Simha appears in 1,184 verified passages and 593 numbered shlokas.
Simha is the 5-numbered sidereal Rashi (120° 00' to 150° 00'), ruled by Surya (Sun). It carries a sthira (fixed) modality and tejas (fire) elemental nature. Within Simha, planetary exaltation falls at Solar citadel (Surya rules) and debilitation falls at None among seven Grahas.
TROPICAL SHIFT & 9-PADA NAKSHATRA SUBDIVISIONPrecession Differential & Nine Navamsa Padas of Simha
Under the Chitrapaksha Lahiri Ayanamsha (24° 13' 18" in October 2026), solar ingress into sidereal Simha occurs during August 17 to September 16. By contrast, the Western Tropical window for Simha spans July 23 to August 22. Roughly eighty percent of placements assigned to tropical Leo shift backward out of sidereal Simha under DE441

In Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter 4 Verses 13 to 14 and Brihat Jataka Chapter 1 Verses 8 to 15, Simha corresponds to Udara (Upper abdomen) on the cosmic body of Kalapurusha. Under the sign-aspect rules (Rashi Drishti) of Maharishi Jaimini, Simha aspects mesha (aries), tula (libra), and makara (capricorn).
