What Is a Zodiac Sign?
In Western astrology, your Sun sign is the sign the Sun was moving through on the day you were born. Each of the twelve signs carries its own energy, style, and symbolism.
Standard Sun-sign date ranges:
- Aries – March 21 to April 19
- Taurus – April 20 to May 20
- Gemini – May 21 to June 20
- Cancer – June 21 to July 22
- Leo – July 23 to August 22
- Virgo – August 23 to September 22
- Libra – September 23 to October 22
- Scorpio – October 23 to November 21
- Sagittarius – November 22 to December 21
- Capricorn – December 22 to January 19
- Aquarius – January 20 to February 18
- Pisces – February 19 to March 20
Your Sun sign gives insight into your natural motivations, the way you express yourself, and the themes you attract in life. It’s the starting point for understanding your astrology, and the one most commonly used in horoscopes.
How Does the Zodiac Sign Calculator Work?
Even though the form is simple, it uses precise astronomical data to find your Sun sign. Here’s what happens after you click Calculate:
- The calculator gently checks where the Sun was on your birth date.
- It finds the Sun sign for that moment—Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and so on.
- If your birthday is near a sign’s boundary, the tool ensures you get the correct sign without needing your exact birth time.
About Your Zodiac Sign Result
Once you click Calculate, you’ll see a clear block for your sign:
- Sign Name and Short Description
- Bold sign name (e.g., Pisces)
One or two sentences capturing your Sun sign’s essence:
“Pisces is sensitive, imaginative, and empathetic. You absorb the mood around you and need moments of art, quiet, and reflection to recharge.”
About Sign Fact Table:

The description and table together create a mini-profile you can reflect on or share with friends.
Beyond the Sun – Moon & Rising Signs
Your Sun sign is the foundation, but not the whole story. Many people explore their “Big Three”:
- Sun sign – core identity and life approach
- Moon sign – emotional nature and habits
- Rising sign – first impressions and outward style
If your Sun sign feels familiar but incomplete, links to Moon and Rising tools offer the next layer of insight.
Why Use a Zodiac Sign Calculator?
Quick and accurate
Instead of guessing or scanning lists, this tool uses your full birth date to return the correct Sun sign, even for cusp or leap-year birthdays.
A gateway to self-reflection
Like numerology or other reflective systems, astrology can help you:
- Recognize your natural strengths and patterns
- Understand why some situations motivate or challenge you
- Explore recurring themes in love, work, and personal growth
It’s about insight, not limitation.
Friendly, not prescriptive
Astrology suggests tendencies, encourages reflection, and invites conversation. Take what resonates, leave what doesn’t—it’s your guide, not a rulebook.
Fun and shareable
Compare signs with friends, partners, or family, or use it as a lighthearted conversation starter. From here, explore compatibility tools or full chart readings if curiosity calls.
