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.
Ruled by Mercury, you think in several directions at once and explain things well. Your task is choosing one thread and staying on it.
Not the sign you expected?
Find your Vedic sign →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.
