Your Sun sign
The Sun sign you were born under — a mirror of temperament, not a fate.
The Sun sign you were born under — a mirror of temperament, not a fate.
Your Western tropical Sun sign always; your Moon sign and rising sign (ascendant) too, once you give a birth time — the rising sign needs a birthplace as well.
Sun sign comes from a fixed month/day boundary table, with an honest cusp flag when your birthday falls within about a day of a boundary. Moon sign is read from real ephemeris data, since the Moon moves roughly 13° a day and needs your exact birth time. Rising sign is computed from local sidereal time and the true obliquity of the date at your birthplace.
This is the tropical zodiac — 30° arcs measured from the equinox, not the sidereal system Vedic astrology uses (see /vedic). We don't build a full 12-house chart, and standard time is assumed rather than adjusted for daylight saving.
What is Western astrology? · Western vs. Vedic — what's the actual difference?
The Moon moves about 13° a day, crossing into a new sign roughly every two and a half days, and the rising sign changes about every two hours — without a real birth time, either could land in the wrong sign.
No. This is the Western tropical zodiac, measured in 30° arcs from the equinox. Vedic (Jyotish) astrology is sidereal, measured against the fixed stars — the two systems can place the same birth in different signs.
