Sagittarius in Vedic Astrology — You Are Probably Scorpio
Western: ૨૨ નવેમ્બર – ૨૦ ડિસેમ્બર
ટૂંકમાં
If you are a Sagittarius in Western astrology, you are most likely Scorpio (Vrishchika) in Vedic astrology — about 83% of Sagittariuss are. Sagittariuss born ૨૨ નવેમ્બર – ૧૫ ડિસેમ્બર are Scorpio; those born ૧૬ ડિસેમ્બર – ૨૦ ડિસેમ્બર stay Sagittarius. The two zodiacs are measured from different starting points and sit about 24 degrees apart.
Boundary dates shift by about a day depending on the year, so use the calculator above if you were born within a day or two of one.

What Scorpio means in Vedic astrology
Scorpio is the negative sign of Mars, fixed water, the sexual organs of the Cosmic Man. As sign no. 8 (2 × 4), it reflects a need for balance and stability on a deeper psychic level. It is a very profound and mysterious sign. Vrishchika combines emotional depth with fierce will — intensely perceptive, strategic, and driven by a need for authentic power rather than surface prestige.
Dual-natured, Scorpio can operate at the level of the scorpion (cunning, retaliatory), the eagle (clear-visioned, courageous, liberated), or the phoenix (destroyed and reborn, transcendent).

But Vedic astrology does not lead with your Sun sign
Less than you might expect. Vedic astrology leads with the Moon sign (rashi) and the rising sign (lagna) rather than the Sun, and both of those need your birth time as well as your date.
Most Sagittariuss — about 83% — are Scorpio (Vrishchika) in Vedic astrology, because the sidereal zodiac runs roughly 24 degrees behind the tropical one used in the West.
Which Sagittarius dates stay Sagittarius in Vedic astrology?
Sagittariuss born ૨૨ નવેમ્બર – ૧૫ ડિસેમ્બર are Scorpio in Vedic astrology, and those born ૧૬ ડિસેમ્બર – ૨૦ ડિસેમ્બર are Sagittarius. The boundary moves by about a day depending on the birth year.
Why is my Vedic sign different from my Western sign?
Western astrology measures the zodiac from the March equinox; Vedic astrology measures it from the fixed stars. The equinox drifts against the stars by about a degree every 72 years, and the gap now stands at roughly 24.2 degrees — most of a sign.
Is one of the two systems wrong?
Neither is a mistake. They are two different measuring conventions, each internally consistent and each with its own body of interpretation. The signs disagree because the starting points disagree, not because one has miscalculated.
Does my Vedic Sun sign matter as much as my Western one?
Less than you might expect. Vedic astrology leads with the Moon sign (rashi) and the rising sign (lagna) rather than the Sun, and both of those need your birth time as well as your date.
