Frequently Asked Questions
What determines someone's zodiac sign?
The zodiac (sun sign) is determined by birth date — the position of the sun in one of the 12 ecliptic constellations at the moment of birth. Because the sun's position repeats each year, each sign's date range stays roughly the same.
How do I find my zodiac sign from my birth date?
Match your birth date against the date ranges in the zodiac table. For example, birthdays from 21 March – 19 April are Aries, while birthdays from 22 December – 19 January are Capricorn.
Can zodiac dates differ between sources?
Yes. The boundary dates between signs (the cusp) can shift by about a day because the sun changes constellations at a different hour each year. This page uses the most commonly cited date ranges.
