About Zodiac Signs
Western Astrology

Western (tropical) astrology divides the year into 12 zodiac signs based on the Sun's position relative to the Earth at the time of your birth. Each sign spans roughly a month and is associated with an element, a ruling planet, and a set of personality traits.

Chinese Astrology

The Chinese zodiac assigns one of 12 animals to each lunar year in a repeating cycle, alongside one of five elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water) that repeats every two years. Together these give 60 unique year combinations before the cycle repeats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Enter your date of birth below and the calculator instantly works out your Western zodiac (star) sign from the date ranges used in tropical astrology, plus your Chinese zodiac animal from your birth year.

If your birthday falls on the first or last day of a sign's date range (a "cusp"), you may see some sources give a slightly different sign depending on the exact year and time zone used, because the Sun's entry into each sign shifts by up to a day. This calculator uses the most commonly published date ranges.

The Chinese zodiac follows a 12-year cycle of animals, assigned by lunar year rather than birth month. This calculator uses the Gregorian birth year as an approximation, which is accurate for most of the year, though anyone born in January or February should check if their birthday falls before or after that year's Chinese New Year for full accuracy.

Each of the 12 Western zodiac signs belongs to one of four elements - Fire, Earth, Air or Water - which are said to describe shared personality traits. Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) are passionate; Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) are grounded; Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) are communicative; Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are emotional.
