Vedic Astrology

The 12 Rashis

The zodiac signs of Vedic astrology — 12 divisions of the ecliptic, each shaped by a ruling planet, element, and modality that shape personality, life themes, and compatibility.

iVedic vs. Western: Vedic astrology primarily uses your Moon Sign (Chandra Rashi) and Ascendant (Lagna), not your Western Sun sign. Due to the ~23° precession difference, your Vedic sign may differ from your Western sign. Calculate your accurate Vedic birth chart →
