Important note
This tool uses standard fixed date ranges for Western sun signs. Vedic/Sidereal astrology uses different boundaries due to the astronomical precession correction. Results are for entertainment purposes only.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Western zodiac sign?
A zodiac sign is determined by the position of the Sun on your date of birth across 12 astrological signs. Each sign covers approximately 30 days of the year.
What are the four elements in Western astrology?
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces).
What is a cusp in astrology?
A cusp is the border between two signs. If you were born within about 3 days of a sign boundary, some astrologers consider you influenced by both adjacent signs.
Is this Vedic or Western astrology?
This tool uses Western (tropical) astrology. Vedic (sidereal) astrology uses different sign boundaries due to the precession of the equinoxes, so your Vedic sign may differ.
