What is Surya Rashi (Sun Sign)?

Your Surya Rashi is your Vedic Sun sign — the zodiac sign the Sun occupied at your birth, computed with the sidereal zodiac and Lahiri ayanamsa. Because it is sidereal, it often differs from the Western (tropical) Sun sign by about one sign.

In Vedic astrology the Sun represents the soul, vitality, confidence, and the father. This calculator shows your Surya Rashi with its ruling planet (lord), element, quality, and symbol, the Sun's nakshatra, and lucky associations, along with the Panchang at birth.
