What your sun sign says
In Western astrology, your sun sign is the constellation the Sun appeared to be in when you were born. It's said to describe your core personality, how you shine and what drives you. Your moon sign (emotions) and rising sign (first impressions) add more detail.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my zodiac sign?
Your Western (sun) zodiac sign depends on the date you were born. Enter your birthday and the calculator shows your sign, its symbol, element, modality and ruling planet. You don't need your birth time for your sun sign.
What if I was born on a cusp?
Sign dates can shift by a day from year to year because the Sun's exact entry time varies. If your birthday is on or right before a change, you're "on the cusp". For a precise answer, a birth chart with your birth time and place is needed.
What are the four elements?
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) is passionate and energetic; Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) is practical and grounded; Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) is social and intellectual; Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) is emotional and intuitive.
What are cardinal, fixed and mutable signs?
They are the three modalities. Cardinal signs start things, fixed signs keep them steady and mutable signs adapt and change.
Is astrology scientific?
No. Astrology isn't supported by scientific evidence, but many people enjoy it as a fun way to reflect on personality and relationships.
