About this tool

The Western zodiac divides the ecliptic into twelve 30° signs, each associated with a constellation, an element (fire, earth, air, water) and a quality (cardinal, fixed, mutable). Your sun sign is determined by the position of the Sun on your birth date.

The dates shift by a day or two depending on the year, because the Sun does not cross the sign boundaries at the same moment every year. This tool uses the most common date ranges.

The zodiac is a cultural tradition, not a scientific system. The sun signs described here are the tropical zodiac used in Western astrology, not the sidereal zodiac used in Vedic astrology.

Frequently asked questions

What if I was born on a cusp?

The "cusp" is the day the Sun changes signs. If you were born on that day, the exact time matters — this tool uses the standard date ranges.

What is the difference between sun sign and rising sign?

The sun sign is based on your birth date. The rising sign (ascendant) depends on the time and location of birth.

Is this scientifically accurate?

Astrology is not a science. The zodiac is a cultural and entertainment tradition.
