About this calculator
Western (tropical) astrology divides the year into 12 zodiac signs based on fixed calendar date ranges, but those boundary dates aren't perfectly memorable or consistent across every source, especially for birthdays that fall right on or near a cusp between two signs. This calculator takes a birth month and day and looks them up against the 12 traditional western zodiac date ranges to return the corresponding star sign, such as Cancer for a mid-July birthday. It removes the need to recall or look up which sign covers which exact date range, and it applies the standard tropical zodiac used throughout Western astrology and most horoscope publications, as opposed to the sidereal zodiac used in Vedic astrology, which shifts the same date ranges due to the precession of the equinoxes and can assign a different sign to the same birthday.
Worked example
