How this rashi calculator works
We calculate where the Moon was at your exact birth time, then convert it to the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the standard used in Indian Panchangs. The sign that holds the Moon is your rashi. The same calculation gives your nakshatra and, if you know your birth time, your ascendant (Lagna).
Why your Moon sign matters
- Horoscopes: Indian daily and yearly rashifal is read from the Moon sign, not the Sun sign.
- Sade sati: Saturn's 7.5-year transit is counted from your Moon sign. See which rashis have sade sati in 2026.
- Marriage matching: Kundli matching compares both partners' Moon signs and nakshatras.

Frequently asked questions
What is my Moon sign in Vedic astrology?
Your Moon sign, or rashi, is the zodiac sign the Moon was in at the moment you were born, measured against the fixed stars (sidereal zodiac). Indian horoscopes, sade sati and Kundli matching are all based on it.
Can I find my Moon sign without the birth time?
Usually, yes. The Moon stays in one sign for about two and a quarter days, so the date and place are often enough. If you were born on a day the Moon changed sign, the time decides it, and the result will say if your birth time is unknown.
Why is my Vedic Moon sign different from my Western one?
Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which today sits about 24 degrees behind the tropical zodiac used in Western astrology. So for many people the Vedic Moon sign is one sign earlier.
Is rashi the same as my Sun sign?
No. In India "rashi" means the Moon sign. Your Sun sign is the sign the Sun was in, which is what most Western horoscope columns use.
