Free Moon Sign (Rashi) Calculator — Vedic Chandra Rashi

Your Vedic Moon sign (Chandra Rashi) is the zodiac sign the Moon occupied at your moment of birth — calculated against the sidereal zodiac with Lahiri Ayanamsha, not the tropical zodiac that Western horoscopes use. In Vedic astrology (Jyotish), the Moon sign drives your emotional nature, mental tendencies, and the Vimshottari Dasha sequence that maps your life timeline. It often differs from your Sun sign by an entire sign or more.

AstroSutra's calculator uses the same Swiss Ephemeris (NASA JPL) data and the same arc-second precision as our paid Premier and Ultra tiers — the difference is depth of interpretation, not accuracy of the underlying numbers. Enter your birth date, time, and place; receive your Moon sign and Nakshatra (lunar mansion) in seconds. No signup required.

• Sidereal zodiac with Lahiri Ayanamsha — the standard for Vedic astrology, used across India and by classical BPHS scholars.
• Same engine as paid tiers — calculation accuracy is identical at every level. Free users are not on a lower-precision pipeline.
• Includes Nakshatra — your janma nakshatra and pada, which feeds Dasha calculations and is the basis for kundli matching.
