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.
మీనం in Vedic Astrology — You Are Probably కుంభం
Western: ౧౮ ఫిబ్రవరి – ౧౯ మార్చి
క్లుప్తంగా
If you are a మీనం in Western astrology, you are most likely కుంభం (కుంభ) in Vedic astrology — about 83% of మీనంs are. మీనంs born ౧౮ ఫిబ్రవరి – ౧౪ మార్చి are కుంభం; those born ౧౫ మార్చి – ౧౯ మార్చి stay మీనం. The two zodiacs are measured from different starting points and sit about 24 degrees apart.
What మీనం becomes in Vedic astrology
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.

తరచుగా అడిగే ప్రశ్నలు
What is మీనం in Vedic astrology?
Most మీనంs — about 83% — are కుంభం (కుంభ) in Vedic astrology, because the sidereal zodiac runs roughly 24 degrees behind the tropical one used in the West.
Which మీనం dates stay మీనం in Vedic astrology?
మీనంs born ౧౮ ఫిబ్రవరి – ౧౪ మార్చి are కుంభం in Vedic astrology, and those born ౧౫ మార్చి – ౧౯ మార్చి are మీనం. 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.
