Frequently asked questions
Cusp dates are the first and last day of a sign's range. Different sources shift some boundaries by a day, so a birth right on a boundary can be listed under either neighbour. This calculator applies the standard ranges shown in its reference table consistently.
No. Western (tropical) zodiac signs depend only on month and day. The year matters for the Chinese zodiac instead — use the Chinese Zodiac Calculator for that.
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Each sign's element is shown in the result and the reference table.
No. This uses the tropical zodiac of Western astrology. Vedic astrology uses the sidereal zodiac, which is currently about 24 degrees behind, so sidereal signs are often one sign earlier.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) is the only range that wraps the year boundary. A January birthday before the 20th is Capricorn, not Aquarius.
