Enter your birthday and find your Western zodiac sign, the one based on the calendar month you were born in. You also get your element (Fire, Earth, Air, or Water), your ruling planet, and the key personality traits traditionally associated with your sign. The twelve signs span the year from Aries in late March to Pisces in late February.
Western astrology dates back at least to ancient Babylon and was developed significantly by Greek astronomers. The signs are based on the sun's position against the background of constellations at the time of your birth, divided into twelve equal segments of 30 degrees each. Whether you take it seriously or treat it as light entertainment, zodiac signs remain a widespread cultural reference point that most people find at least partly relatable.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are the zodiac dates determined?
The sun moves through each of the twelve 30-degree segments of the ecliptic over the course of a year. Your sign is whichever segment the sun was in when you were born.
What if I was born on the cusp between two signs?
People born within a day or two of a sign boundary are on the cusp. The exact transition time varies slightly by year, so enter your specific date to get the accurate sign.
What are the four elements in Western astrology?
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), and Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces).
Is astrology scientifically accurate?
No. Scientific studies have not found evidence that birth sign predicts personality or life outcomes. It is a cultural tradition and entertainment tool, not a scientific system.
