Moon Sign (Rashi) Calculator

Your Rashi is the sidereal zodiac sign occupied by the Moon at birth. Jyotish uses it to read the mind, habits, emotional responses, and many transit effects.

Computed using Swiss Ephemeris and Lahiri ayanamsa. Birth time improves accuracy — the Moon moves about 13° per day.

Date of birth

Time of birth (optional but recommended)

Without birth time we use noon as an estimate. If the Moon was near a sign boundary that day, the result may be off by one sign.

Birthplace

Before you continue: complete the required birth details above.

Important distinction

A Sun sign cannot be converted into a Moon Rashi

Your common Western zodiac sign is usually a tropical Sun sign. Rashi here means the sidereal Moon sign. Subtracting about 24° may estimate a sidereal Sun sign, but it cannot tell you where the Moon was. Use the calculation above for your actual Rashi.
