Sidereal vs tropical
Vedic astrology uses the sidereal system, in which the signs stay tied to the actual constellations. Western astrology uses the tropical system, tied to the seasons, which drifts ahead over centuries. So the same birth date can fall under different signs in the two systems.

Questions on this article
How do I find my sign?
Daily horoscopes use the Moon sign, which comes from your birth date, time and city. Find it with our moon sign tool. The sun sign comes from the birth date alone.
Why are these dates different from English newspapers?
This list follows the Vedic (sidereal) system, tied to the actual position of the stars. Western newspaper dates follow the tropical system, which runs about 24 days ahead. Indian astrology commonly uses the sidereal system.
What if I was born on a date boundary?
On a boundary day the Sun can change signs mid-day. In that case work out the correct sign from your birth time and city; use the moon sign tool or the kundli tool.
