How signs are worked out
Your sun sign is the zodiac constellation the Sun was passing through on the day you were born, using the common Western (tropical) date ranges. Only the month and day matter, the year makes no difference.
Astrology is for fun, not science. The date ranges shift by a day in some years and traditions, so a birthday right on a cusp can be read either way. Everything is computed in your browser.
What this does
A zodiac sign calculator finds your Western sun sign from your birth date, with its symbol, element and date range. Only the month and day matter.
How to use it
- Enter your birth date.
- Read your zodiac sun sign.
- See its symbol, element and date range.
- Note the cusp if you are near a boundary.
How it works
Your birthday is matched to the sign whose date range it falls in, using the common Western (tropical) ranges. Only the month and day are used; the year makes no difference.
Understanding your result
Only your month and day decide the sign, using the common Western tropical ranges, so the birth year never matters. If your birthday falls right on the boundary between two signs, the exact cut-off can shift by a day from year to year, so a borderline date is worth checking against the precise time. This is the Western system; Vedic astrology uses different dates.
Example
A birthday on 15 July falls under Cancer, a water sign.
