Find your moon sign (chandra rashi), birth nakshatra & pada from your date of birth — computed with the same sidereal (Lahiri) standard as the Indian Rashtriya Panchang.
Traditional general indications by rashi — not a personal prediction. राशि आधारित परंपरागत सामान्य फल — व्यक्तिगत भविष्यवाणी नहीं।
Your rashi (moon sign / chandra rashi) is the zodiac sign the Moon occupied at the moment you were born, measured in the sidereal zodiac with Lahiri ayanamsa. Enter your birth date and time above to calculate it instantly.
No. Western horoscopes use your SUN sign in the tropical zodiac, while Vedic astrology is built on your MOON sign (rashi) in the sidereal zodiac. The two systems differ by about 24°, so your rashi is usually different from your Western sun sign.
The Moon stays in one rashi for about 2.5 days, so on most birth dates the rashi is the same all day — tick "I don’t know my birth time" and we’ll tell you if yours is certain. If the Moon changed signs on your birth date, we show both possibilities and the switch time.
The moon sign is calculated from the Moon’s position against the zodiac, which is computed geocentrically in standard jyotish practice — it does not depend on the city of birth. Your birth place matters for the full kundli (ascendant and houses), which you can get free on the Amrutkaal app.
The 27 nakshatras are lunar mansions of 13°20′ each — a finer division of the zodiac than the 12 rashis. Each nakshatra has 4 padas (quarters) of 3°20′. Your birth nakshatra (janma nakshatra) and pada are used for naming ceremonies, matching, and choosing muhurats.
Yes — after calculating, tap the Listen button to hear your result read aloud in Hindi or English: your chandra rashi, its lord, your birth nakshatra with pada, and what your rashi says about your nature. Free audio in your browser — share it with family who prefer listening over reading.
Yes — naam rashi maps the first syllable of your name to a sign (Chu/Che/Cho/La → Mesha, and so on), following the traditional naming-syllable system. It is used when birth details are unknown. If you do know your birth date, the janma rashi (moon sign) is the authoritative one — naam rashi is the fallback, and the two can differ.
