What if my birthday falls right on a cusp date?

This calculator uses the traditional fixed date ranges for each sign. If you're born on or near a boundary date, some sources cite a slightly different cutoff, so it's worth checking the date ranges of both adjacent signs.

Does this use tropical or sidereal astrology?

This uses the tropical zodiac, the standard Western system based on fixed calendar date ranges, not the sidereal system used in Vedic astrology, which shifts the dates due to the precession of the equinoxes.
