How it works

The sign Indian astrology reads first.

Sidereal sign (Rashi)

Your Moon sign is the sidereal sign the Moon was in at birth. Daily horoscopes in Indian papers are written by Moon sign, not Sun sign.

It moves fast

The Moon changes sign about every two and a half days. If you were born on a changeover day, the birth time decides the result.

Used for timing

Transits such as Sade Sati are counted from the Moon sign, and Kundli matching compares the two Moon signs.
