🔮 Rashi Calculator India — Moon Sign by Date of Birth (2026)
Your Rashi (రాశి / राशि) is your Janma Rashi — the Moon Sign in Vedic astrology determined by the position of the Moon (Chandra) at the time of your birth. Unlike Western astrology which uses Sun signs (Zodiac), Vedic Jyotish gives primary importance to the Moon sign because the Moon represents your mind, emotions, and inner self. Your Rashi is used for daily Rashifal predictions, marriage matching (Gun Milan / Kundali Matching), naming ceremonies (Namakaran), and all Vedic rituals and muhuratas.
SuccessMate's free Rashi Calculator gives you your Janma Rashi (Moon Sign), Nakshatra (birth star), ruling planet, lucky stone, lucky number, lucky day, lucky color, compatible Rashis, and a complete personality profile — all instantly by date of birth. We also show your Rashi name in Telugu (రాశి), Hindi (राशि), Tamil (ராசி) and Kannada (ರಾಶಿ) so users across all Indian languages can use this tool.
There are 12 Rashis in Vedic astrology: Mesha (Aries), Vrishabha (Taurus), Mithuna (Gemini), Karka (Cancer), Simha (Leo), Kanya (Virgo), Tula (Libra), Vrischika (Scorpio), Dhanu (Sagittarius), Makara (Capricorn), Kumbha (Aquarius), and Meena (Pisces). Each Rashi has a ruling planet (Swami Graha), a set of Nakshatras, and specific personality traits. Whether you are in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, or anywhere in India — or an NRI in the USA, UK, UAE, Australia, or Canada — this tool works instantly for free with no login required.
📿 How to Find Your Rashi — Rashi by Date of Birth vs Rashi by Name
There are two main methods to find your Rashi: (1) By exact birth date and time — the most accurate method used by Jyotishis, which requires the Moon's exact position in the zodiac at birth; and (2) By name first letter — the traditional Namakaran method where the first letter of your name was chosen based on the Nakshatra Pada (quarter) at birth, so the name's starting syllable reveals your Rashi. Our tool supports both methods.
For Kundali matching and marriage compatibility (Ashtakoot method), knowing the correct Rashi of both the bride and groom is essential. The Guna Milan score (out of 36) is calculated based on Rashi and Nakshatra. Our tool shows compatible Rashis for each sign as a quick reference. For a complete Kundali, we recommend consulting a qualified Vedic astrologer or Jyotishi.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions — Rashi Calculator
What is Rashi (జన్మ రాశి / जन्म राशि)? ▾
Rashi is your Moon Sign in Vedic astrology — the zodiac sign in which the Moon (Chandra) was positioned at the moment of your birth. There are 12 Rashis: Mesha, Vrishabha, Mithuna, Karka, Simha, Kanya, Tula, Vrischika, Dhanu, Makara, Kumbha, and Meena. It is the primary sign used in Indian astrology for daily horoscopes (Rashifal), marriage matching, and Vedic rituals.
What is the difference between Rashi and Zodiac / Sun Sign? ▾
Western astrology uses your Sun Sign (based on the Sun's position), which changes once a month. Vedic astrology uses your Moon Sign (Rashi), which changes every 2.25 days and is far more personal and precise. Your Sun Sign represents your outer personality and ego; your Rashi (Moon Sign) represents your inner mind, emotions, and true nature. Most Indian horoscopes (Rashifal) are based on the Moon Sign.
What is Nakshatra and how is it related to Rashi? ▾
Nakshatra is your birth star — one of 27 lunar mansions that the Moon passes through. Each Rashi contains 2.25 Nakshatras. Your Nakshatra is even more specific than your Rashi and is used for naming (Namakaran), marriage matching, and calculating Mahadasha (planetary periods). The first letter of your name in Indian tradition is based on your Nakshatra Pada.
How is Rashi calculated from date of birth? ▾
The precise method requires calculating the Moon's exact longitude (in degrees) at the moment of your birth using an ephemeris and Ayanamsa correction (Lahiri Ayanamsa is standard in India). The 360° zodiac is divided into 12 equal parts of 30° each — each part is one Rashi. Our calculator uses the Sun-sign approximation for quick use; for an exact Vedic Janma Rashi with Nakshatra Pada, you need your exact birth time and place.
What is Rashi by name (Namakaran method)? ▾
In Indian tradition, a baby's name is chosen during Namakaran ceremony based on the Nakshatra Pada at birth. Each Nakshatra Pada corresponds to a specific syllable sound. If you know your name's first letter, you can reverse-find your Rashi. Use our "By Name Letter" tab to find your Rashi using this traditional method. This is commonly used when the exact birth time is unknown.
Which Rashis are most compatible for marriage? ▾
In Vedic astrology, compatibility is checked using Ashtakoot (8 factor) Guna Milan with a score out of 36. Generally: Mesha (Aries) is compatible with Simha and Dhanu; Vrishabha (Taurus) with Kanya and Makara; Mithuna (Gemini) with Tula and Kumbha; Karka (Cancer) with Vrischika and Meena; and so on for the same element group. However, a complete Kundali matching by a qualified Jyotishi is always recommended before marriage.
What is Janma Rashi in Telugu (జన్మ రాశి)? ▾
జన్మ రాశి (Janma Rashi) means your birth Moon Sign in Telugu. The 12 Rashis in Telugu are: మేషం (Mesha), వృషభం (Vrishabha), మిథునం (Mithuna), కర్కాటకం (Karka), సింహం (Simha), కన్య (Kanya), తుల (Tula), వృశ్చికం (Vrischika), ధనుస్సు (Dhanu), మకరం (Makara), కుంభం (Kumbha), మీనం (Meena). Our calculator shows your Rashi in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Kannada.
