Why this sun sign can differ from the one you know
Western sun signs are read off the tropical zodiac, fixed to the seasons. This calculator reads the sidereal zodiac Vedic astrology uses instead, which has drifted from the tropical one by close to 24 degrees over the centuries — enough that a birth near the edge of a sign can land in the sign before it. Your Moon sign, not your Sun sign, is what a Vedic reading is actually built around; this page exists because people still ask for it.
Why is this different from the sun sign on Western sites?
Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which tracks the actual stars; most Western sites use the tropical zodiac, which tracks the seasons. The two have drifted apart by close to 24 degrees, so a sign near the edge of a Western date range often reads one sign earlier here.
Should I use my sun sign or my moon sign?
A Vedic reading — your rashifal, your dashas, your kundli — is built around the Moon sign, not the Sun sign. This calculator exists for the sun sign specifically because people ask for it, not because it carries the reading.
What if I do not know my exact birth time?
The Sun changes sign roughly once a month, so an hour's uncertainty rarely changes the answer — only a birth within a day of the change is worth confirming.
