கடகம் in Vedic Astrology — You Are Probably மிதுனம்
Western: ௨௧ ஜூன் – ௨௧ ஜூலை
சுருக்கமாக
If you are a கடகம் in Western astrology, you are most likely மிதுனம் (மிதுன) in Vedic astrology — about 84% of கடகம்s are. கடகம்s born ௨௧ ஜூன் – ௧௬ ஜூலை are மிதுனம்; those born ௧௭ ஜூலை – ௨௧ ஜூலை stay கடகம். 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 மிதுனம் means in Vedic astrology
மிதுனம் புதனின் நேர்மறை ராசி, ராசிச் சக்கரத்தின் மூன்றாவது ராசி; பிரபஞ்ச புருஷனின் கழுத்தின் கீழ்ப்பகுதிக்கும் தோள்களுக்கும் ஒத்தது. இரட்டை இயல்பு கொண்ட (த்விஸ்வபாவ) வாயு ராசியாக, இது மனத்தை நோக்கிய ஆற்றல் மிக்க இயல்பை அளிக்கிறது — அமைதியற்ற இயைந்து போகும் தன்மை, ஆர்வம், மாற்றம், பரிமாற்றம், இயக்கம், கண்டுபிடிப்பு ஆகியவற்றைத் தேடும் மனம். இரட்டைச் சின்னம் இரு பார்வைகளை ஒரே சமயத்தில் தாங்கும் ஆற்றலைப் பிரதிபலிக்கிறது — நிலைப்பாடு இல்லாதபோது அதே கொடை நிலையின்மையாக மாறக்கூடும்.
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 கடகம்s — about 84% — are மிதுனம் (மிதுன) in Vedic astrology, because the sidereal zodiac runs roughly 24 degrees behind the tropical one used in the West.
Which கடகம் dates stay கடகம் in Vedic astrology?
கடகம்s born ௨௧ ஜூன் – ௧௬ ஜூலை are மிதுனம் in Vedic astrology, and those born ௧௭ ஜூலை – ௨௧ ஜூலை are கடகம். 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.
