How it works
Why a calculator beats a date table.
Cusp dates move
The Sun enters each sign on a slightly different day and hour every year. Tables that say 'Aries starts 21 March' are only right most of the time.
Tropical zodiac
This calculator uses the tropical zodiac of Western astrology. Your Vedic Sun sign is usually one sign earlier.
Degree matters
0° to 29° tells you how far into the sign the Sun had moved. Readings near 0° or 29° sit close to the neighbouring sign.
