How to use this calculator
Pick your birth date in the box above — your year of birth doesn't change the answer, so any year works. The calculator looks at your birth month and day and matches it to one of the twelve tropical zodiac signs, then shows the result instantly.
Born on a cusp (within a day or two of a sign change)? The boundaries here use the standard tropical dates. If your birthday falls exactly on the borderline, you can check both neighboring signs — some people on the cusp identify with traits of both.
How it works
This calculator uses the tropical zodiac, the system behind nearly all Western horoscopes. It's anchored to the seasons: Aries begins at the March equinox, Cancer at the June solstice, Libra at the September equinox, and Capricorn at the December solstice. Because of that, the date ranges stay the same every year.
The full tropical ranges: Capricorn Dec 22–Jan 19, Aquarius Jan 20–Feb 18, Pisces Feb 19–Mar 20, 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. Leap-day babies (Feb 29) fall in Pisces.
The twelve signs are grouped into four elements of three signs each: Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), and Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces).
Frequently asked questions
How do I find out what my zodiac sign is?
Just enter your birth month and day into the calculator above. It compares your date to the standard tropical zodiac ranges and tells you your sign, its date range, and its element instantly.
What are the zodiac sign date ranges?
The tropical zodiac dates are: Capricorn Dec 22–Jan 19, Aquarius Jan 20–Feb 18, Pisces Feb 19–Mar 20, 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.
What is the difference between the tropical and sidereal zodiac?
The tropical zodiac is fixed to the seasons and starts Aries at the March equinox, which is what most Western horoscopes use. The sidereal zodiac is based on the actual positions of the constellations, so its dates are shifted about 24 days later.
What are the four zodiac elements?
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), and Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Elements are traditionally said to describe the temperament of the signs grouped under them.
