These are Moon signs (rashi), the sign the Moon was in at birth, which Vedic matching uses; a Western Sun sign is usually a different sign. Find your Moon sign. Guna milan is one input; a marriage is decided by the full charts, the families and your own judgement.
Match the two full kundlis
The signs decide only 15 of the 36 points. With both dates, times and places of birth: all 36 points, the Nadi and Bhakoot exceptions, Manglik and the likely marriage windows, free.
