How to Determine Zodiac Sign According to Indian Astrology

If you’ve been reading your horoscope all day and it doesn’t match, that’s not surprising. Dates in Western astrology are slightly different from dates in Hindu (Indian) astrology. The main difference is that dates in Western astrology are fixed, while dates in Hindu astrology change as the stars move. Read through the zodiac signs according to Hindu astrology to see if you fit the dates in them better. Note, however, that as the stars and constellations change, so does the zodiac. Astrologers recommend re-examining the zodiac every 70 years.
