Enter your birth date and instantly find out which of the twelve zodiac signs you belong to, along with its symbol, ruling element, and the date range it covers. Your sun sign is determined by where the sun was positioned on the day you were born, and this calculator maps your month and day to the correct sign using the standard western astrology date boundaries. Whether you are Aries or Pisces, you will see the element that governs your sign, such as fire, earth, air, or water, which many astrology fans use to explore compatibility and personality traits. This is offered as fun and cultural curiosity rather than science. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your birth date is never sent anywhere or stored.
