What Is a Moon Sign (Rashi)?

In Vedic astrology the Moon is the most important planet for day-to-day predictions. It is the closest heavenly body to the Earth and rules the mind and emotions, so its movement is felt quickly in our moods, decisions and relationships.

Your Moon sign, or Rashi, is the zodiac sign the Moon was in at the moment you were born. Unlike the Sun sign, it cannot be worked out from your birth date alone – the Moon moves so fast that the exact time and place of birth are needed. You can calculate your Rashi for free in under a minute.

How Today’s Horoscope Is Calculated

The Moon travels through all twelve signs in about 27 days, staying roughly two and a half days in each. Your daily horoscope is read from the house the Moon is passing through, counted from your own Moon sign (its Gochar, or transit). The Moon’s conjunctions, oppositions and other aspects with the other planets add further detail to the day.

For example: if your Moon sign is Pisces and the Moon is moving through Cancer today, the Moon is in the 5th house from your sign. That brings out 5th-house matters – children, creativity, studies and romance. If Jupiter is also in Cancer, the Moon joins it and the day’s results become stronger; if Jupiter is opposite in Capricorn, its aspect on the Moon shapes the prediction as well.

Because the Moon changes sign every two and a half days, your prediction changes with it – so check back each day.
