Find your Vedic moon sign (janma rashi) — the sign that carries the most weight for character and daily predictions in Jyotish. Also see your birth chart, the full Avakhada Chakra, your nakshatra, ascendant and Vedic sun sign.
How your moon sign is calculated
Your moon sign is the sidereal zodiac sign the Moon occupied at the moment of your birth. Because the Moon moves quickly — about one sign every 2¼ days — an accurate birth date is important, and a precise time refines the exact degree and nakshatra. This tool computes the Moon's sidereal (Lahiri) longitude, maps it to the rashi, and derives the classical Avakhada Chakra — varna, vashya, yoni, gana, nadi, tatva and naming syllable — from your moon sign and birth nakshatra.
Frequently asked questions
What is a moon sign (janma rashi)?
It is the sidereal zodiac sign the Moon was in when you were born. In Vedic astrology it is the primary sign used for character, emotions and daily rashifal, more so than the sun sign.
Why does the moon sign matter more than the sun sign here?
The Moon governs the mind and emotions in Vedic astrology, so your moon sign is treated as your core identity sign. When you look up a daily or weekly reading by rashi, it is your moon sign that is used.
What is the Avakhada Chakra?
It is the classical summary of birth characteristics derived from your moon sign and nakshatra — varna, vashya, yoni, gana, nadi, tatva, and the auspicious naming syllable. These factors are also used in Vedic compatibility matching.
Do I need my exact birth time?
A birth date is enough to find the moon sign in most cases. A precise time and place refine the exact degree, nakshatra pada and ascendant, and prevent edge-case errors when the Moon changes sign during the day.
Is this a prediction?
No. It is an astronomical calculation of your moon sign and its traditional attributes, shown for reflection rather than as a prediction.
