Why horoscope dates vary (1950–2050)
Horoscope date ranges are averages. Between 1950 and 2050 the Sun entered each sign on these UTC dates; in your own time zone the date can be one day earlier or later.

Questions and answers
What is my zodiac sign?
Your zodiac sign (Sun sign) is the sign the Sun was in when you were born. Enter your birth date above; if the Sun changed sign on that day, add your birth time and time zone to see which side of the change you were born on.
What does it mean to be born on the cusp?
You were born within a day or two of the Sun moving from one sign into the next. You still have one Sun sign: the Sun is in one sign or the other at any moment. The change happens at a precise time that shifts from year to year, so a birthday that is Virgo one year can be Libra another.
Why do zodiac sign dates differ between sources?
Sign dates in horoscopes are rounded averages. The Sun reaches each sign at a different time every year (for example, it enters Libra on 22 or 23 September, UTC, between 1950 and 2050) and the calendar date also depends on your time zone. The calculator uses the exact position of the Sun.
Is my Sun sign the same as my Moon or Rising sign?
Usually not. The Moon and the Rising sign move much faster than the Sun, so they need your birth date, time and place. The Big Three Calculator finds all three.
Which zodiac does the calculator use?
The tropical zodiac of Western astrology, which starts at the March equinox. Sidereal (Vedic) astrology uses a zodiac shifted by about 24°, so most people’s sidereal Sun sign is the previous sign.
