The Chinese year begins on Chinese New Year (between January 21 and February 20), so people born in January or early February usually belong to the previous year's animal.
What Is My Zodiac Sign?
Star sign, element, ruling planet and Chinese zodiac from your birth date
Enter your date of birth and this zodiac sign calculator shows your Western (tropical) star sign with its date range, element (fire, earth, air or water), modality (cardinal, fixed or mutable), ruling planet and the traits traditionally linked to it. It also finds your Chinese zodiac animal, element and yin/yang polarity, using the real Chinese New Year date for every year from 1950 to 2035, so January and February birthdays are placed in the correct animal year. If you were born within a day of a sign change, the calculator tells you that you are on the cusp. Below you will find the full chart of zodiac sign dates and a table of Chinese zodiac years.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my zodiac sign?
Your Western zodiac sign is set by the position of the Sun on your birthday. Enter your date of birth above, or look it up in the zodiac dates chart: for example, March 21 – April 19 is Aries and July 23 – August 22 is Leo.
Why do different websites give different dates?
The Sun enters each sign at a slightly different moment every year, so boundaries can move by a day. If you were born on a boundary date, your exact sign depends on the year and time of birth.
What does it mean to be born on the cusp?
It means your birthday falls within a day of the change between two signs. Many people on the cusp feel they share traits of both signs; an exact birth chart with time and place settles it.
How is the Chinese zodiac calculated?
It follows a 12-year cycle of animals combined with five elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, water) and yin/yang. The year changes on Chinese New Year, not January 1, so someone born on January 20, 2020 is a Pig, not a Rat.
What is the 13th sign, Ophiuchus?
Ophiuchus is a constellation the Sun passes through, but Western astrology uses 12 equal signs tied to the seasons (the tropical zodiac), so it is not counted.
Is astrology scientific?
No scientific study has shown that sun signs predict personality or the future. Treat the descriptions as tradition and entertainment.
