Enter your birth details to find your Vedic Moon sign (Rashi) instantly — computed with Swiss Ephemeris and Lahiri Ayanamsa, the precision serious Jyotish practitioners use.
Your Moon sign, or Rashi, is the zodiac sign the Moon occupied at the exact moment you were born. Because the Moon moves through all twelve signs in about 27 days — spending roughly 2.25 days in each — your Moon sign depends on your birth date and, near sign boundaries, your birth time.
In Vedic astrology the Moon governs the mind, emotions, and instinctive reactions, which is why the Moon sign — not the Sun sign — is the primary lens for personality, daily and monthly predictions, and timing systems like Sade Sati and Vimshottari Dasha. Read more on why your Moon sign matters more than your Sun sign.
FAQ
What is a Moon sign?
Your Moon sign (Rashi) is the zodiac sign the Moon occupied at the moment you were born. In Vedic astrology it is the primary reference point for personality, emotions, daily predictions, and timing — more important than the Sun sign used in Western pop astrology.
Do I need my exact birth time to find my Moon sign?
Usually a rough time is enough, because the Moon changes sign roughly every 2.25 days. The exception is if you were born close to the moment the Moon changed signs — then an accurate birth time matters. If you are unsure, tick 'I don't know my exact time' and the calculator uses noon.
Is the Moon sign the same as the Rashi?
Yes. Rashi is the Sanskrit and Hindi term for the Moon sign. When someone in India asks for your Rashi, they mean your Moon sign, not your Sun sign.
Why is my Moon sign different from my Sun sign?
The Sun stays in one sign for about a month, while the Moon moves through all twelve signs in roughly 27 days. So your Moon sign — based on where the fast-moving Moon was at birth — is frequently different from your Sun sign.
