How it works

Western astrology divides the ecliptic into 12 equal segments, each named for a constellation. Your sun sign is whichever segment the Sun occupied on the day you were born. Enter your birth date and we return the sign along with its traditional element, quality, and ruling planet.

Born on or near a boundary date? The Sun changes signs at a specific time of day, not at midnight. If your birthday falls on the 19th, 20th, or 21st of a month, your exact sign depends on the year and what time you were born.

FAQs

How are signs determined?

The Sun moves through all 12 zodiac segments over the course of a year. Your sign is whichever segment it occupied on your birth date.

What's an element?

The 12 signs are grouped into four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. Each element traditionally describes a broad temperament shared by the three signs in that group.

Are cusp dates exact?

The cutover happens at a precise time of day, not on the stroke of midnight. This calculator uses the common fixed boundary dates, which are accurate for most people.

Is this scientific?

No. Astrology does not have a verified scientific basis. This is for curiosity and reflection.
