Zodiac Sign Calculator
Find your astrological sign from your birthday — element, ruling planet, traits and your Chinese zodiac too.
What Is the Zodiac Sign Calculator?
The Zodiac Sign Calculator tells you your Western astrological sign from your birth date, along with its element (Fire, Earth, Air or Water), modality, ruling planet and signature personality traits. It also finds your Chinese zodiac animal and element from your birth year, and includes a full reference chart of all 12 signs and their date ranges.
How It Works
Enter your birthday. Your sun sign, element, ruling planet, traits and Chinese zodiac appear instantly, all calculated in your browser.
When to Use It
Use it to settle what sign a birthday falls under (especially cusp dates), learn a sign's traits, or find someone's Chinese zodiac animal.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the zodiac sign dates?
- Aries starts March 21 and the signs cycle roughly monthly through Pisces (February 19 – March 20). The full chart with exact ranges is shown below the calculator — dates on the boundary (the 'cusp') can shift by a day depending on the year.
- How does the Chinese zodiac part work?
- The 12 animals cycle by year (with a Wood/Fire/Earth/Metal/Water element every two years). Since the Chinese year starts at Lunar New Year, January and early-February birthdays may belong to the previous year's animal.
