Western Zodiac

If you were born near the changeover between two signs, you know the drill: one site says Aries, another says Taurus, and nobody settles it. This page handles the common case: pick your birth date and it shows the matching Western zodiac sign with its symbol, using the most widespread date table (Aries from March 21 to April 19, Taurus from April 20 to May 20, and so on through all 12 signs).

Here is the detail most sites skip: the cutoff dates are not truly fixed. Your sun sign depends on the moment the Sun enters each sector of the tropical zodiac, and that instant shifts from year to year (and with your time zone), moving the boundary by up to a day. That is why tables disagree on dates like April 19 versus 20. Also, do not confuse this with the sidereal zodiac used in Vedic astrology, offset by roughly 24 degrees, where many people land on a different sign.

For dates well inside a sign, the answer is straightforward. If you were born right on a boundary day, treat the result as the common convention: only a birth chart computed with your exact time and place of birth can settle the sun sign in those cases. The tool shows just the sign and its symbol, with no horoscope or personality text, and the lookup happens in your browser, so your birth date never leaves your device.
