Moon Sign (Rashi) Calculator

Your Rashi is the zodiac sign your Moon occupied at birth. In Vedic astrology the Moon sign is more significant than the Sun sign — it describes your emotional nature, instinctive responses, and how you experience life from the inside.

Computed using Swiss Ephemeris and Lahiri ayanamsa. Birth time improves accuracy — the Moon moves about 13° per day.

Date of birth

Time of birth (optional but recommended)

Without birth time we use noon as an estimate. If the Moon was near a sign boundary that day, the result may be off by one sign.

Birthplace

Quick reference

Zodiac sign to rashi, at a glance

Western astrology and Vedic astrology don’t use the same zodiac. The Western (tropical) zodiac is fixed to the seasons; the Vedic (sidereal) zodiac is fixed to the actual stars. Over roughly 2,000 years, the two have drifted about 24° apart — so for most people, the rashi classical Jyotish actually uses is one sign earlier than the zodiac sign they grew up reading. This is a general guide, not a substitute for your exact chart — use the calculator above for your precise rashi.
