Vedic Moon Sign Calculator (Chandra Rashi)
Find your Moon Sign (Rashi) according to sidereal Vedic astrology. Your Moon Sign reflects your emotional nature, mind, and inner personality.
How I Calculate Your Moon Sign
Your Vedic Moon Sign (Chandra Rashi) represents the exact zodiac sign occupied by the Moon at the time of your birth under the sidereal astronomical system. In Vedic astrology, the Moon governs your mind (Manas), emotional temperament, and daily instinctual responses.
When I compute your Moon Sign on AstroPredict, I extract exact lunar longitudes using Swiss Ephemeris routines and apply the Lahiri Ayanamsha (~24° sidereal offset).
Since the Moon travels through a sign roughly every 2.25 days, calculating your true Chandra Rashi requires your exact birth date, time, and city coordinates.

Why Your Moon Sign Matters Day to Day
While Western astrology focuses on the Sun sign, Vedic astrology places primary emphasis on the Moon sign because emotional well-being dictates how you experience daily life. Planetary transits evaluated relative to your Chandra Rashi form the basis of daily Vedic horoscopes.
Vedic Sidereal vs Western Tropical Moon
Because Western astrology uses the Tropical zodiac based on fixed seasonal equinoxes while Vedic astrology uses the Sidereal zodiac aligned with physical constellation coordinates, your Vedic Moon Sign will often fall one sign earlier than in Western charts.
Connecting Moon Sign & Nakshatra
Each of the 12 Moon Signs contains 2.25 Nakshatras (lunar mansions). Finding your Moon Sign automatically identifies your ruling Nakshatra and Pada, which determines your Vimshottari Mahadasha birth timeline.
