The 12 Zodiac Signs (Rashis)

In Vedic astrology, the sidereal zodiac is divided into twelve 30-degree signs. The Sun, Moon and other planets each occupy a sign; the ascendant is the sign rising at birth. Explore each sign's ruler, element, nakshatras and planetary placements.

Zodiac signs by birth date: which system?

Birthday ranges usually refer to Western tropical Sun signs. The table gives approximate conventional ranges; exact boundaries vary with the year and birth time. These ranges do not calculate a Vedic Moon sign.
