FAQ
Zodiac sign calculator FAQ
What is my zodiac sign?
Your zodiac sign, also called your sun sign or star sign, is set by the date you were born. Select your birth month and day in the calculator above to see it instantly, along with its element, ruling planet and traits.
What are the dates for each zodiac sign?
Aries runs from March 21 to April 19, Taurus April 20 to May 20, Gemini May 21 to June 20, Cancer June 21 to July 22, Leo July 23 to August 22, Virgo August 23 to September 22, Libra September 23 to October 22, Scorpio October 23 to November 21, Sagittarius November 22 to December 21, Capricorn December 22 to January 19, Aquarius January 20 to February 18 and Pisces February 19 to March 20.
What does it mean to be born on a cusp?
You are on a cusp if your birthday falls within a day or two of the change from one sign to the next. Because the Sun enters each sign at a slightly different moment every year, your exact sign then depends on your birth year, time and place.
What are the four zodiac elements?
The signs are grouped into fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Each element describes a broad temperament, from fiery energy to grounded practicality.
Which zodiac signs are most compatible?
In traditional astrology, signs of the same element get along most easily, and fire pairs well with air while earth pairs well with water. Opposite signs often attract, while signs three places apart on the wheel are seen as more challenging.
How do I find my Chinese zodiac sign?
Your Chinese zodiac animal comes from your birth year in a 12-year cycle, such as the Rat for 2020 or the Horse for 2026. The year starts at Lunar New Year, between January 21 and February 20, so people born in that window may belong to the previous animal.
What is the difference between sun, moon and rising signs?
Your sun sign comes from your birth date and is what this calculator shows. Your moon sign and rising sign need your exact birth time and place, because the Moon and the horizon change much faster than the Sun.
Is astrology scientifically proven?
No. Scientific studies have not found evidence that zodiac signs predict personality or relationships. Many people still enjoy astrology as a fun way to reflect on themselves and connect with others.
