Yes, that is normal.
Most "vedic" astrologers use sidereal zodiac, and most western use tropical (though not all - it's really more correct to say tropical vs sidereal chart)
Unless your planets or points are late degrees of the sign it is likely they will all shift back one.
My sun, moon and venus are all mid degrees between 14-18 and all shifted to the previous sign.
I think Western natal chart Asc describes more of my physical appearance than Vedic natal chart.
I am confused what I should tell my sun sign from now on.
mnn I am awfully confused now.
My Rashi chart created with Solar Fire and Kala (website below) is different.

In fact, Kala's Rashi is the same as the Western natal chart.
Ain't that the truth.Vedic is a lifelong study.
It seems what you are doing here is just modern western astrology with a sidereal zodiac. That's not how vedic astrology works. Research shadbala, ashatakavarga and vargas for a start. If it's too overwhelming, then maybe begin with researching traditional western astrology first.david,
Do you have any advice for someone who has almost all the malefic planets in the chart? What is the purpose of living such life where nothing can be accomplished? May be the purpose IS to live an evil life?
Sun is L8 (malefic) and with Saturn (malefic)
Moon is waning (malefic) and in malefic sign.
Mercury is debilitated.
Mars in fall.
Even benefic like Jupiter is L12 so that's malefic too.
