Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the Moon Sign
Why is Moon Sign Important in Vedic Astrology?
The Moon governs the mind (Manas) in Vedic astrology. Your Rashi determines your daily horoscope, planetary transits (Gochar), Vimshottari Dasha periods, and compatibility matching (Kundali Milan). All major Vedic astrology predictions — from career to relationships to health — are primarily analyzed from the Moon sign. The Nakshatra (lunar mansion) within your Moon sign adds another layer of specificity, dividing each sign into 2.25 Nakshatras for more precise personality analysis.
How to Calculate Your Moon Sign
Calculating the Moon sign requires the exact date, time, and place of birth. The Moon's position is computed using the Swiss Ephemeris with the Lahiri Ayanamsa (the standard sidereal correction used in Indian astrology). The sidereal longitude of the Moon determines which of the 12 Rashis it falls in: Aries (Mesha), Taurus (Vrishabha), Gemini (Mithuna), Cancer (Karka), Leo (Simha), Virgo (Kanya), Libra (Tula), Scorpio (Vrishchika), Sagittarius (Dhanu), Capricorn (Makara), Aquarius (Kumbha), and Pisces (Meena).
