What Your Rashi Tells You
In the West, people ask your Sun sign. In India, they ask your Rashi. It's the Moon's sign, and it drives daily predictions, Sade Sati, Chandrashtamam and marriage matching.
The Moon spends about two and a half days in each sign. So even without a birth time, the date usually settles it. We'll warn you if it doesn't.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rashi in astrology? +
Your Rashi, or Chandra Rashi, is the zodiac sign the Moon was in at your birth. In Indian astrology it matters more than the Sun sign for daily predictions and matching.
Is Rashi the same as Moon sign? +
Yes. Rashi, Raasi, Koor (in Malayalam) and Moon sign all mean the same thing here: the sidereal sign of the Moon at birth.
Can I find my Rashi without the birth time? +
Usually, yes. The Moon stays in one sign for about two and a half days. If it changed sign on your birth day, we'll warn you and show both possible signs.
What is the difference between Rashi and Lagna? +
Rashi is where the Moon was. Lagna is the sign rising on the eastern horizon at birth, which needs the exact time and place.
Which Rashi is used for Sade Sati? +
Sade Sati and Ashtama Shani are always counted from your Moon sign, the Rashi shown on this page.
