What is a Moon sign (Rashi)?

In Vedic astrology your Moon sign - the zodiac sign the Moon occupied at your birth - governs your mind, emotions, and instincts. It's often considered more personal than the Sun sign.

Why does it need my birth time?

The Moon moves fast - about one sign every 2.25 days - so an accurate Moon sign needs your date and place; the birth time sharpens it near a sign boundary. If you don't know the time, we use noon.
