April zodiac dates
People born from April 1 to 19 are Aries (Mesh in Hindi), the spark that starts everything. Those born from April 20 to 30 are Taurus (Vrishabh), the builder who makes things last. April 19 and April 20 and April 21 are cusp dates: the Sun changes sign on one of these days depending on the year, so check your birth year on the birthday page.
April in Vedic astrology
In the sidereal zodiac used for Kundli, the Sun moves from Pisces (Meen) into Aries (Mesh) around April 14. That day is Mesha Sankranti, celebrated as Baisakhi, Vishu, Puthandu and Pohela Boishakh. It begins the solar new year in many parts of India. Your Indian rashi is usually based on the Moon instead of the Sun, so the quickest way to know it is your free Kundli or the Moon sign calculator.
