Is Singh Rashi the Same as Leo?
Yes — Singh and Leo are the same sign of the zodiac. But your Vedic rashi and your Western zodiac sign may not match. In Indian (Vedic) astrology, your rashi usually means your moon sign — the sign the Moon was in when you were born. Western astrology uses your sun sign, which depends only on your birth date (Leo: 23 July – 22 August).
That is why a person born in, say, the Leo date range may still have a different rashi in their kundli. To find your real rashi, use our free moon sign (rashi) calculator with your date, time and place of birth.
