Sagittarius Moon in Western (tropical) astrology
Tropical longitude = sidereal longitude + ayanamsa (24.23° at the time this page was generated, Lahiri). A sidereal Moon between 0° and 5°46′ Sagittarius is also in Sagittarius tropically; from 5°46′ to 30° it is in Capricorn tropically. Why the zodiacs differ.
