Western: ೨೦ ಜನವರಿ – ೧೭ ಫೆಬ್ರವರಿ
If you are a ಕುಂಭ in Western astrology, you are most likely ಮಕರ in Vedic astrology — about 83% of ಕುಂಭs are. ಕುಂಭs born ೨೦ ಜನವರಿ – ೧೨ ಫೆಬ್ರವರಿ are ಮಕರ; those born ೧೩ ಫೆಬ್ರವರಿ – ೧೭ ಫೆಬ್ರವರಿ stay ಕುಂಭ. 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.
Enter your date of birth. Add a time if you were born near a sign boundary — a few hours can change the answer.
ಮಕರ ಶನಿಯ ಸ್ತ್ರೀ (ಋಣ) ರಾಶಿ, ಚರ ಪೃಥ್ವಿ, ಮತ್ತು ರಾಶಿಚಕ್ರದ ಹತ್ತನೇ ರಾಶಿ — ಕಾಲಪುರುಷನ ಮೊಣಕಾಲುಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿನಿಧಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. 10ನೇ ರಾಶಿಯಾಗಿ ಇದು ಶಕ್ತಿ, ಕ್ರಮ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಸಂಘಟನೆಯ ಮೂರ್ತರೂಪ. ಇದು ಪ್ರಾಯೋಗಿಕ ಸಾಕ್ಷಾತ್ಕಾರದ ರಾಶಿ: ದೀರ್ಘ ಪ್ರಯತ್ನವನ್ನು ಶಾಶ್ವತ, ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟ ಸಾಧನೆಯಾಗಿ ಪರಿವರ್ತಿಸುವ ಸಾಮರ್ಥ್ಯ. ಜೀವನದ ಸಾಧನೆಯ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಿಂದ ಮಕರ ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ರಾಶಿಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಕೆಳಗಿನದೂ ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಮೇಲಿನದೂ ಆಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ.
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 ಕುಂಭs — about 83% — are ಮಕರ in Vedic astrology, because the sidereal zodiac runs roughly 24 degrees behind the tropical one used in the West.
ಕುಂಭs born ೨೦ ಜನವರಿ – ೧೨ ಫೆಬ್ರವರಿ are ಮಕರ in Vedic astrology, and those born ೧೩ ಫೆಬ್ರವರಿ – ೧೭ ಫೆಬ್ರವರಿ are ಕುಂಭ. The boundary moves by about a day depending on the birth year.
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.
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.
