Frequently asked questions
How do I know my rashi?
Your Vedic rashi is the sign the Moon occupied at your birth. Enter your birth details in our free Kundali tool and it computes your Moon sign (Chandra rashi) and nakshatra instantly.
Is my rashi my Moon sign or Sun sign?
In Vedic astrology your rashi is always the Moon sign. The Sun sign used in Western horoscopes is a different system; the daily rashifal on this site is written for Moon signs.
Can I just wear my rashi gemstone?
Gemstones strengthen their planet, which is not always helpful for your chart. A gemstone should be chosen after checking the planet's role in your kundli, never by rashi alone. Ask us before you buy.
