How to read your daily horoscope
Read the overview first for the day's tone, then the area that matters most to you right now. Use the lucky colour and number as small, playful nudges, not rules.
Sun sign or Moon sign?
These readings are for your Sun sign, set by your date of birth. Vedic astrologers also read your Moon sign (rashi) and your full birth chart, which is why a personal consultation goes much deeper than any daily reading.
