A complete guide to the 12 zodiac signs in Hindu astrology
Download Article
Hindu astrology, also called Vedic astrology or Jyotisha, differs slightly from Western astrology. While the Hindu zodiac is also split into 12 signs, called Rashi, it uses the sidereal zodiac instead of the tropical zodiac. This means that your sign might be different in Hindu astrology! To help you discover your Hindu zodiac sign, we’ve put together a list of each sign, their dates, and their traits. Keep in mind that the dates of each Hindu zodiac sign vary from Western astrology , so you might be an Aries in Western astrology but a Taurus in Vedic astrology.

QuestionI am supposedly an Aquarius but my personality doesn't match with it. It rather matches with Pisces (a lot). Then what zodiac sign do I actually have?Community AnswerIt doesn't matter what horoscope you are. Your horoscope stays the same for the rest of your life. But for example, if you were born on March 20th, you're either a Pisces or an Aries (American horoscope).

QuestionI was born on 11 March but I don't know what my zodiac sign is. On different websites it shows different zodiac signs: Pisces, Cancer, Aquarius & Aries - which one is correct?TsukikoCommunity AnswerThere are two types of astrology. One is Vedic astrology (which is the most accurate) and one is Western astrology. According to Western astrology, your zodiac sign is Pisces but to know your Vedic astrology zodiac sign, you have to give your date of birth, time of birth, birthplace, etc.

Tips
- Psychic astrologer Stina Garbis explains that “the moon chart is used in Vedic astrology, so you use your moon sign as your first house instead of using the rising sign to determine the house placements of your planets.”Thanks
