Sun sign lookup
The Sun sign is set by the Gregorian birth date. Enter a date to look it up; dates near a boundary get a note explaining why. Rising and Moon signs need birth time, place and an ephemeris — this site does not estimate them; see below.
The twelve signs by date
| Sign | Dates | Element | Modality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aries | 3/21 – 4/19 | Fire | Cardinal |
| Taurus | 4/20 – 5/20 | Earth | Fixed |
| Gemini | 5/21 – 6/21 | Air | Mutable |
| Cancer | 6/22 – 7/22 | Water | Cardinal |
| Leo | 7/23 – 8/22 | Fire | Fixed |
| Virgo | 8/23 – 9/22 | Earth | Mutable |
| Libra | 9/23 – 10/23 | Air | Cardinal |
| Scorpio | 10/24 – 11/22 | Water | Fixed |
| Sagittarius | 11/23 – 12/21 | Fire | Mutable |
| Capricorn | 12/22 – 1/19 | Earth | Cardinal |
| Aquarius | 1/20 – 2/18 | Air | Fixed |
| Pisces | 2/19 – 3/20 | Water | Mutable |
Dates follow the common fixed table. The Sun's actual ingress moves by about a day from year to year; for a birth on a boundary day the exact answer depends on year, time and time zone.
Rising and Moon signs
The rising sign depends on the exact time and place of birth and changes roughly every two hours; the Moon sign changes every two to three days. Both are computed from an ephemeris, not a date table — use the tools below.
Beyond a single lookup, the full chart
Each tool answers one question. The four pillars and luck cycles read together are the chart.
