Is this for my Leo Moon or my Leo rising sign?

Most Vedic readings start from your Moon sign. If you know your rising sign (the sign coming up in the east when you were born), you can read this page for that sign too. If your Moon and rising signs are different, read both pages. Where they agree, the theme is strongest.

Your Vedic signs are often one sign earlier than in Western astrology, and your Moon sign can be any sign, whatever your usual star sign. Check yours free.
