If you’ve ever read your horoscope for the day and didn’t quite align with it, you’re not alone. Western astrology dates differ slightly from Vedic, or Hindu astrology dates. The main difference is that Western astrology dates are fixed, while Hindu dates change as the stars shift. Read through the Hindu zodiac signs to see if you align more with these dates than Western astrology ones. Keep in mind, though, that as the stars and constellations change, your zodiac sign may change, too. Astrologers recommend double checking your zodiac sign every 70 years or so.

This means your Vedic sun sign depends on which Hindu constellation the sun was aligned with at your birth, rather than simply the date.

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).Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.

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.Thanks! We're glad this was helpful.
