Determines astrological sun sign based on birth date ranges.
| From: | To: |
A sun sign (or zodiac sign) is the astrological sign that the sun was passing through at the time of your birth. It's the most commonly known aspect of a person's astrological profile and represents your core identity.
Sun signs are determined by the position of the sun relative to the constellations at your exact time of birth. The zodiac is divided into 12 signs, each covering about 30 degrees of celestial longitude.
Date Ranges:
Details: In astrology, your sun sign represents your ego, identity, and purpose. It's considered the core of who you are and influences your basic personality traits and characteristics.
Tips: Simply enter your birth date (month and day) to determine your sun sign. The calculator uses standard astrological date ranges to determine your zodiac sign.
Q1: Why do some dates fall on the cusp between signs?
A: The exact transition dates can vary slightly from year to year due to the earth's orbit. If born on a cusp date, your exact time of birth may determine your sign.
Q2: Is the sun sign the same as the Chinese zodiac?
A: No, the Chinese zodiac is based on birth years rather than birth dates and follows a 12-year cycle of animal signs.
Q3: What if I was born on the first or last day of a sign's range?
A: For precise determination, you would need to know the exact time of birth as the sun's position changes gradually.
Q4: Do sun signs really affect personality?
A: While astrology suggests they do, this is a matter of personal belief and not scientifically proven.
Q5: Why are the dates slightly different in some sources?
A: Some astrologers adjust for leap years and the precession of equinoxes, which can shift dates by a day or two.
