Vedic Sun Sign Calculator (Surya Rashi)
Find your Vedic (sidereal) Sun Sign. Unlike Western astrology, Vedic Sun Sign calculations account for ayanamsa precession to give your exact astronomical Sun placement.
How I Calculate Your Sun Sign
Your Vedic Sun Sign (Surya Rashi) indicates the sidereal constellation occupied by the Sun at your birth. In Vedic astrology, the Sun represents your soul vitality (Atman), father, authority, and core purpose.
I calculate your Surya Rashi by extracting solar longitudes from Swiss Ephemeris (`pyswisseph`) C-native routines using Lahiri Ayanamsha (~24° offset).
The Sun enters a new constellation around the 14th–16th of each month (Sankranti). This sidereal shift means your Vedic Sun sign will often differ from your Western calendar Sun sign.

Vedic Sidereal vs Western Tropical Sun
Western astrology uses the Tropical zodiac based on fixed seasonal dates. Vedic astrology uses the Sidereal zodiac aligned with true physical constellation coordinates (~24° Lahiri offset).
The Role of Surya in Your Horoscope
Surya is the king of the planetary cabinet (Graha Raja). It governs self-confidence, bone health, leadership capabilities, and your sense of individual dharma.
Sun Sign vs Moon Sign Significance
While your Sun Sign (Surya Rashi) represents your inner soul drive, your Moon Sign (Chandra Rashi) governs your everyday mind and emotional responses.
