The tool checks which sign was rising in the east at birth.

See the planet that rules your rising sign.
Your rising sign (Lagna) was rising in the east at birth. It starts house one. All other houses are counted from it.
The rising sign comes from the horizon. Moon and Sun signs come from those planets' positions. Indian readings start from the rising sign and use the Moon for matching and timing.
About every two hours, depending on the sign and place. Near a boundary, a half-hour error can change the sign.
It is your rising sign's ruling planet. Mars rules Aries and Scorpio; Venus rules Taurus and Libra. Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; the Moon rules Cancer; the Sun rules Leo. Jupiter rules Sagittarius and Pisces; Saturn rules Capricorn and Aquarius. Its sign, house and strength represent you in traditional reading.
Western signs follow the seasons; Vedic signs follow the stars. Their current gap is about 24 degrees. We use Swiss Ephemeris and India's standard Lahiri correction. Use our rising sign calculator for the Western version.
Try the earliest and latest possible birth times. A 10–15 minute difference usually keeps the sign near its middle. Near a boundary, it can change. The degree shows how close you are.
