The 12 zodiac signs: dates and patterns
The twelve tropical zodiac signs are grouped into four elements and three modalities. Find your approximate date range below, then explore the traditional themes and reflection prompts for each sign.
Look up dates, elements and compatibility
Use the complete zodiac date table for boundary birthdays, compare the four elements, explore how each sign may show love and care or communicate, try the zodiac personality quiz, or look up a pairing in the zodiac compatibility chart.
A starting point, not a complete picture.
These are the conventional date ranges for the tropical zodiac. The Sun changes signs at a different time each year, so a birthday close to a boundary needs an exact birth time and place to resolve.
Your Sun sign is one part of an astrological chart. Even within astrology, no single placement describes a whole person. Treat these pages as prompts to explore—not labels you have to live up to.
