1. What is Astrological Sign Calculation?

Astrological sign calculation determines your Rising, Moon, and Sun signs based on your exact birth date, time, and geographical location. These three signs form the foundation of your astrological profile in Western astrology.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses astronomy ephemeris data and astrological algorithms to determine the precise positions of celestial bodies at the moment of your birth. It calculates:

• Rising Sign (Ascendant): The zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at your birth time
• Moon Sign: The zodiac sign where the moon was positioned at your birth
• Sun Sign: The zodiac sign where the sun was positioned at your birth

3. Importance of Astrological Signs
