Birth month and day
Find your Sun sign from birth details
Use your birth date and birthplace time zone. A local birth time usually resolves the sign; if an ingress falls within the entered minute, the result keeps both signs. With no time, it keeps both signs when the Sun changed that day.
Conventional Sun sign date ranges
Capricorn crosses the end of the calendar year; every other range runs between two dates in the same year. Exact changeovers vary by year, time, and location.

|---|---|---|---|
| Aries | March 21–April 19 | fire | cardinal |
| Taurus | April 20–May 20 | earth | fixed |
| Gemini | May 21–June 20 | air | mutable |
| Cancer | June 21–July 22 | water | cardinal |
| Leo | July 23–August 22 | fire | fixed |
| Virgo | August 23–September 22 | earth | mutable |
| Libra | September 23–October 22 | air | cardinal |
| Scorpio | October 23–November 21 | water | fixed |

| Capricorn | December 22–January 19 | earth | cardinal |
| Aquarius | January 20–February 18 | air | fixed |

Dates on either side of each conventional changeover are flagged as boundary dates. Resolving those dates exactly requires the birth year, time, location, and an ephemeris.

Calculation method and sources
Find a sidereal Sun sign
A sidereal sign uses a named zodiac-origin offset. Choose Lahiri1956 anchor or your own ayanamsa in the birth chart calculator; its Sun row shows the selected sign and degree. Tropical signs begin at the seasonal equinox, while astronomical constellation boundaries form a separate coordinate scheme.
