What About Cusp Birthdays?
If you were born on the boundary between two signs — a zodiac cusp — your sun sign can vary by a day depending on the exact year and time of your birth, because the Sun does not change signs at the same clock time every year. If your birthday falls on or near a start/end date in the table above and your result feels off, you may have been born just inside the neighboring sign. A full birth chart using your exact time and place gives the definitive answer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a sun sign and a star sign?
They are the same thing. "Sun sign" and "star sign" both refer to the zodiac sign the Sun was travelling through when you were born — the sign this calculator gives you.
Is my zodiac sign the same as my horoscope?
Your zodiac sign is fixed for life; your horoscope is the changing daily, weekly, or monthly forecast written for that sign. Once you know your sign here, you can read its current horoscope.
Why is my sign different on some websites?
Most differences come from cusp dates or from sites using the astronomical constellations rather than the standard tropical zodiac. This calculator uses the widely accepted tropical date ranges shown in the table above.
