About this calculator
Your Sunsign (Surya Rashi) is the sidereal zodiac sign the Sun occupied when you were born. In Vedic astrology it represents your soul, ego, vitality, and sense of self-worth.
Vedic background
Vedic tradition treats the Sun (Surya) as the soul (ātman) — the fire that animates the chart. Classical texts rank the Moon higher for day-to-day predictions, but the Sun remains the anchor of one's dharma and vitality. Sunsign differs from your Moonsign because each body moves at a different rate; both readings together give a fuller picture than either alone.
