Western, Vedic and Chinese astrology in Aurae
The astrology styles Aurae reads your chart in, and how to switch between them.
Last updated November 10, 2026
Aurae can read your chart in more than one tradition. Your astrology style decides which one leads on Today, in your readings and on your chart.
- Western uses the tropical zodiac, where 0° Aries is the March equinox. It’s the astrology of most horoscopes in the West.
- Vedic (Jyotish) uses the sidereal zodiac, fixed to the stars, with the Lahiri ayanamsa. It gives most weight to the Moon, your nakshatra and your Lagna.
- Chinese astrology reads your year animal and element from the lunar calendar.
Switching styles
Go to Profile → Your astrology style (or open the menu under your avatar and tap the Style row), pick a style and confirm. Nothing changes until you confirm, and your past readings stay, each labelled with its style.
If Chinese isn’t offered in your style card yet, you can still find your Chinese sign with the free Chinese zodiac calculator.
Seeing a different sign in another style? That’s expected: see Why my sign looks different.
