What a rashi is
What a rashi is
Indian astrology cuts the sky into twelve equal parts of 30 degrees. Each part is a rashi, or sign.
The sign the Moon was in at your birth is your rashi. The Sun's sign is your sun sign. The sign rising in the east is your lagna.

Frequently asked questions
Why does my kundli show a different sign?
The finder goes by date, like newspapers do. Your kundli counts signs the Indian (sidereal) way, about 24 degrees behind. Both are right.
Which one should I read every day?
Your moon sign. Most Indian rashifal go by it. Make your kundli to find it.
I don't know my birth time. What can I still find?
Your sun sign, and usually your moon sign. Your lagna needs the time.
Can my rashi change?
No. It is fixed at birth. Rashifal reads today's planets against it.
Your kundli
Make your own kundli
Your moon sign, lagna, all nine planets and your running dasha, in plain words.
