How the Zodiac Sign Calculator Works
Enter your birth month and day above, and the calculator instantly matches your date to the twelve Western zodiac signs. Each sign covers roughly a month, starting with Aries at the March equinox. Add your birth year (optional) and you'll also see your Chinese zodiac animal and element.
Your Western sign is also called your Sun sign, the sign the Sun occupied on the day you were born. It's the sign most horoscopes refer to, but it's only one piece of your full astrological picture.
