What is Rashi (Moon Sign) in Vedic Astrology?

Your Rashi is the zodiac sign where the Moon was placed at the time of your birth. In Vedic astrology it is central to mind, emotions and well-being.

What is a Nakshatra (Birth Star)?

The 27 Nakshatras are lunar mansions. Your Janma Nakshatra gives deeper insight and forms the base of Vimshottari Dasha timing.

Is my Rashi the same as my Western Sun Sign?

Usually not. Vedic uses Sidereal zodiac; Western uses Tropical. The systems differ by ~24°, so Rashi and Sun Sign typically differ.

Understanding Your Astrological Identity

The Significance of Your Rashi (Moon Sign)

The Moon (Manas) reflects mind and emotions in Jyotish. Your Rashi shows how you feel, react, and relate—often a better day-to-day guide than Sun signs.

The Deeper Meaning of Your Nakshatra

Each Nakshatra has a deity, shakti and symbolism. Your Janma Nakshatra anchors personality insights and the Vimshottari Dasha timeline.

What the Nakshatra ‘Pada’ Reveals

Every Nakshatra has four Padas (quarters). The Pada links to a Navamsha sign, adding precision to temperament and life themes.

Calculated with Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri Ayanamsha), guided by Sri Santhosh Kumar Sharma Gollapelli — Vedic Astrologer (20+ years).
