Your Sun sign is the zodiac sign the Sun occupied on your birth date in the tropical zodiac system used in Western astrology.

How is Sun sign different from Moon sign?

Sun sign changes monthly and reflects core identity. Moon sign (Chandra Rashi) changes every 2.5 days and reflects emotions.

Is my Vedic Sun sign different?

Yes — Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which is offset by ~23° from the tropical. Your Vedic Sun sign may be one sign earlier.

The Sun moves slowly (~1° per day) so the date is sufficient unless you were born on a cusp, where time helps confirm the sign.

Cusps (sign change dates) vary by 1-2 days each year. Enter your birth time and place for a definitive calculation.

Your Sun sign is determined by where the Sun was in the tropical zodiac on your birth date — the basis of most Western horoscopes.

The Sun spends ~1 month per sign in the tropical zodiac. This is the most widely known astrological sign in the West.
