Today's reading for all 12 signs, calculated from real planetary transits against the sidereal (Lahiri) zodiac — the same one the Indian calendar uses.

Not the sign you expected?
Find your Vedic sign →Your ruling planet Mangal sits debilitated in your fourth bhava alongside exalted Guru, stirring domestic friction or restlessness at home. Channel this volatile physical energy into repairing your living space and keep conversations with family deliberate rather than reactive.
Chandra moving through your eighth bhava will make financial discussions taxing and uncover unexpected friction in shared responsibilities. Step back from heated debates, audit your accounts quietly, and delay major agreements until this sensitive transit passes.
Your sign lord Budha reaches exaltation in your fourth bhava, delivering sharp intellectual clarity to domestic plans and long-term security. Apply this mental strength to settle pending property matters or home logistics before the evening demands your attention in partnerships.
With your ruler Chandra traversing the sixth bhava while debilitated Mangal sits in your first, workplace friction will test your patience today. Protect your vitality by sidestepping petty arguments and focus your physical drive entirely on clearing your task list.
Surya unites with an exalted Budha in your second bhava, granting immense authority and precision to your speech in financial matters. Present your terms with directness and review your balance sheet with a critical eye, leaving no room for vague estimates.
Your ruling planet Budha is exalted in your first bhava alongside Surya, handing you exceptional analytical prowess and decisive executive command. Take charge of complex negotiations or detailed projects today, but temper your critiques so colleagues can keep pace with your standards.
Your ruling planet Shukra graces your first bhava in its own sign, elevating your personal magnetism while exalted Budha in the twelfth accelerates hidden expenses. Use your charm to negotiate favorable terms, but review your expenditures ruthlessly before approving any non-essential purchase.
Your ruler Mangal sits debilitated in the ninth bhava alongside exalted Guru, triggering sharp ideological clashes with superiors or advisors. Stand down from righteous debates today and let concrete evidence do the talking rather than your temper.
Chandra lights up your first bhava while exalted Budha energizes your tenth, placing your leadership directly under the spotlight at work. Seize this gochar to deliver high-visibility professional work, while delegating low-priority tasks to protect your mental focus.
Chandra transiting your twelfth bhava coupled with your ruler Shani retrograde in the third makes travel exhausting and communication prone to misinterpretation. Pare back your schedule, complete pending analytical work in quiet isolation, and decline unnecessary social invitations tonight.
Exalted Guru in your sixth bhava empowers you to dismantle workplace obstacles and overcome competitors, even as retrograde Shani in the second tightens incoming funds. Focus your resolve on eliminating administrative backlogs today, while maintaining strict discipline over your cash reserves.
Your ruling planet Guru is exalted in the fifth bhava, sparking deep creative insight that cuts cleanly through the heavy weight of retrograde Shani in your first. Direct your serious concentration toward complex strategic planning or study, and refuse to let momentary self-criticism stall your progress.
A sun-sign reading applies to a twelfth of the world at once. Your dasha, your transits and your Moon are yours alone — ask a guru who reads the actual chart.
Ask about your chart →Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, which is fixed to the seasons. Indian astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which is fixed to the stars. The two have drifted about 24° apart over the last two thousand years, which is roughly three weeks of the Sun's travel.
So if you were born on 10 August, Western astrology calls you Leo and Vedic astrology calls you Cancer. Neither is a mistake — they are measuring from different starting points. This site uses the sidereal zodiac throughout, because that is what Jyotish is built on.
The boundary dates below are the Sankranti dates: the Sun entering sidereal Aries on about 14 April is the same moment celebrated as Vaisakhi, Puthandu, Vishu and Pohela Boishakh. If you were born within a day of a boundary, calculate your chart rather than trusting the range.
Planetary positions come from a sidereal ephemeris using the Lahiri ayanamsa. Each day's reading is written against the real transits for that date — the actual positions of the planets, not a rotation of stock paragraphs.
One reading is produced per sign per day and shared by everyone of that sign. That is the honest limit of any sun-sign horoscope: it is true for a twelfth of the world at once. Anything specific to you needs your birth chart.
Because this site uses the sidereal (Lahiri) zodiac that Indian astrology is built on, not the tropical zodiac of Western astrology. The two have drifted about 24° apart, so most people's sign moves back by one. Neither system is wrong; they measure from different starting points.
Sun sign, sidereal. Many Indian almanacs use the moon sign (rashi) instead, which needs your birth time and place to calculate. If you want the moon-sign view, generate your free chart — it gives you both.
Yes, and that is the honest limit of any sun-sign horoscope — it applies to a twelfth of the world at once. It is written against today's real transits, but nothing in it is specific to your chart.
Once a day, per sign, per language. Each reading is written against the actual planetary positions for that date.
Calculate your chart rather than relying on the ranges. The Sun's exact ingress moves by about a day across a leap cycle, so anyone born within a day of a boundary should check properly.
