Rashi Calculator
Your Moon sign — the one your daily rashifal is actually based on.
Rashi, in everyday Indian usage, almost always means your Moon sign (Chandra Rashi) — the zodiac sign the Moon was passing through at your exact birth time. It's the sign your daily, weekly and monthly rashifal predictions are written against, not your Western sun sign.

Why Vedic astrology centres the Moon, not the Sun
The Moon changes sign roughly every 2.25 days and represents the mind, emotions and instinctive reactions — the part of a person that Vedic tradition treats as most immediately "live" day to day. That's the whole reason Indian daily horoscopes run on the Moon sign: your mood and reactions on a given day are considered to track lunar transits far more closely than solar ones.
Rashi and Nakshatra together
Your Rashi is one of 12 possible Moon-sign placements; your Nakshatra (birth star) is a finer 27-way subdivision of the same lunar position. Two people can share a Rashi but sit in different Nakshatras, which is why serious kundli matching (guna milan) checks both, not just the sign.
Frequently asked questions
Is Rashi the same as zodiac sign?
Rashi is the Sanskrit word for zodiac sign, but in Indian daily-life usage it specifically refers to your Moon sign, not your Sun sign — that's the key difference from how "zodiac sign" is used in the West.
How often does the Moon sign change?
The Moon moves through all 12 signs in about 27.3 days, spending roughly 2.25 days in each one — which is why an accurate birth date and time matter for getting Rashi right.
Which is used for matchmaking, Rashi or Nakshatra?
Traditional Vedic matchmaking (guna milan / Ashtakoot) uses both — the Rashi and its lord for several of the eight compatibility points, and the Nakshatra for others, such as the Nadi and Gana checks.
