Your Vedic sign may be different
Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac; Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which is currently shifted by about 24°. If you were born in roughly the first three weeks of Aquarius, your Vedic Sun falls in Capricorn. In Vedic astrology, lucky gems depend on your ascendant and Moon rather than your Sun — which is why the free chart asks for your birth time and place.
