Western astrology mostly uses the tropical zodiac, fixed to the seasons. Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, fixed to the background stars.
The ayanamsa
Because Earth's axis slowly wobbles (precession), the two zodiacs drift apart by about one degree every 72 years. The gap today — the ayanamsa — is about 24°. ASTRUZA uses the Lahiri ayanamsa, the official standard in India.
What that means for you
If your Western Sun sign is in its first three weeks, your Vedic Sun sign is usually the sign before. Neither is 'wrong' — they are different reference frames.
