How to Find Your Correct Zodiac Sign for Accurate Predictions
A lot of people are constantly confused: “What is my zodiac sign? What is my ascendant? Which one should I follow?” This confusion often arises because newspapers and online horoscopes typically list predictions based on the first letter of your name, which is frequently incorrect.
The big problem with this is that you end up reading predictions for someone else’s sign. As a result, none of the forecasts resonate with you. You might then think, “This astrologer doesn’t know anything!” But the truth is, the predictions didn’t match because you were looking at the wrong sign to begin with.
Therefore, it’s crucial to know your correct zodiac sign. Let me explain how you can find it.
The Three Key Pillars of Your Horoscope
In Vedic astrology, your future or yearly forecast for 2025 can be analyzed through three primary lenses. If you use your own details, these methods will be accurate. If you use someone else’s, they will never match.
1. The Moon Sign (Rashi) – The Most Common Indian System
This is the system most commonly used in Indian astrology. The Moon orbits the Earth and transits through all 12 zodiac signs. It spends approximately 2.5 days in each sign and completes its 360-degree cycle in about a month.
- How to find it: Your Moon sign is determined by the specific zodiac sign the Moon was positioned in at the exact time and location of your birth. This information is found in your birth chart (Kundli).
- Why it’s important: If, for example, your Moon was in the 4th house (Cancer) at birth, then Cancer is your Rashi. The predictions you hear for Cancer will be about 90% accurate for you. Guessing based on your name (e.g., “My name is Sanjay, so I must be an Aquarius”) is unreliable.
2. The Ascendant (Lagna)
The 12 zodiac signs are constantly rotating across the sky, completing a full circle every 24 hours. This means each sign rules a specific two-hour block of the day (this was historically measured in prahars).
- How to find it: Your Ascendant or Lagna is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at your exact time and place of birth. It depends on your birth time, longitude, and latitude.
- Why it’s important: Predictions based on your precise Ascendant are incredibly accurate and can match your life’s events with near 100% precision, depending on the astrologer’s knowledge.
3. The Sun Sign
Unlike the Moon’s rapid movement, the Sun’s movement through the zodiac is fixed. The Earth’s orbit around the Sun means the Sun appears to move through one sign each month.
- How to find it: Your Sun sign is the zodiac sign the Sun was in on your date of birth (typically changing around the 14th-16th of each month in the Indian calendar). This is similar to the Western system of Sun signs.
- Why it’s important: Predictions based on your correct Sun sign will also be accurate and relevant to you.
