How your rashi is calculated
Your rashi is the sidereal zodiac sign the Moon occupied at birth. It is called the janma rashi and is the sign used when you read a rashifal (rashi-based horoscope). This tool computes the Moon's exact sidereal (Lahiri) longitude and maps it to one of the 12 rashis — Mesha through Meena — each spanning 30 degrees. It also derives the Avakhada Chakra and shows your nakshatra and Vedic sun sign.
Frequently asked questions
What is a janma rashi?
The janma rashi is your Vedic moon sign — the sidereal sign the Moon occupied at your birth. It is the sign used for rashifal predictions and Vedic compatibility.
Is rashi the same as my Western sun sign?
No. Rashi is a moon sign in the sidereal zodiac; a Western sun sign is a Sun-based sign in the tropical zodiac. They are usually different signs.
Which rashi should I use to read my horoscope?
Use your janma rashi (moon sign) shown here. Rashi-based daily, weekly and monthly readings are keyed to the moon sign, not the sun sign.
Do I need my birth time for my rashi?
A birth date is usually enough. A precise time and place refine the exact degree and nakshatra, and are needed for the ascendant.
Is this a prediction?
No. It identifies your rashi and its traditional attributes for reflection; it is not a prediction of events.
