What Is My Zodiac Sign?

Your zodiac sign depends on your birthday. Here are all 12 signs: Aries (Mar 21-Apr 19), Taurus (Apr 20-May 20), Gemini (May 21-Jun 20), Cancer (Jun 21-Jul 22), Leo (Jul 23-Aug 22), Virgo (Aug 23-Sep 22), Libra (Sep 23-Oct 22), Scorpio (Oct 23-Nov 21), Sagittarius (Nov 22-Dec 21), Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 19), Aquarius (Jan 20-Feb 18), Pisces (Feb 19-Mar 20). Find your birthday in this list to know your sign instantly.

If you were born within 1-2 days of when one sign changes to another (called a "cusp"), your exact sign depends on the year you were born. For example, someone born on April 19 might be Aries in one year and Taurus in another. This happens because the sun doesn't change signs at the exact same time every year. Use our date selector above to get the accurate result for your specific birth year.

The sun doesn't enter each zodiac sign at exactly midnight on the same date every year. Earth's orbit takes 365.25 days, not exactly 365, so we have leap years. This causes the sun's position to shift slightly. That's why someone born on January 20 might be Capricorn in 2023 but Aquarius in 2024. The shift is only 1-2 days, so it only matters if you're born right on the boundary.

Each sign has distinct traits: Aries is bold and competitive. Taurus is patient and reliable. Gemini is curious and adaptable. Cancer is nurturing and intuitive. Leo is confident and generous. Virgo is analytical and practical. Libra is diplomatic and fair. Scorpio is intense and determined. Sagittarius is adventurous and optimistic. Capricorn is ambitious and disciplined. Aquarius is independent and innovative. Pisces is creative and empathetic.

Yes, many people relate to traits from signs beyond their sun sign. Your birth chart includes multiple planetary positions - your moon sign governs emotions, Venus influences love style, and Mars affects your drive. Plus, if you were born near a cusp, you may naturally blend characteristics from two neighboring signs. This is why two people with the same sun sign can have quite different personalities.
