Zodiac Sign Calculator
Enter your birth date to get your Western sun sign in one step. You also see its element, modality, and ruling planet. No account.
This tool answers only the tropical sun-sign question. For Indian Vedic Moon (Janma Rashi) or rising/Lagna, open those calculators after you have time and place.
Example: one real birth date
Entered alone, July 1, 2023 returns the Western sun sign Cancer.
The result also carries Water, Cardinal, and ruler Moon. It does not include houses or a rising sign.
How we calculate
Your birth date maps to a Western sun sign using standard month and day ranges (Capricorn through Sagittarius). We also show element, pace, and ruling planet. Pace means cardinal, fixed, or mutable.
This is the same sun-sign logic used on the home reader's Western card. If your birthday is near a cusp, birth time helps when you try the Moon and rising tools.
- Input: birth date (mm/dd/yyyy)
- Calendar: tropical zodiac solar months
- Output: sign name, symbol, element, modality, ruler
- Not a full natal chart, no houses, aspects, or progressions
Sun, Moon, and rising: three different questions
Your sun sign is the familiar label, like I am a Libra. Moon here is more about mood and habit. We use the sidereal Moon for Indian Vedic rashi. Rising on this site means sidereal Lagna (Lahiri). That is the same as the Indian Vedic Rising Sign Calculator. Rising needs birth time and place. It is the sign on the eastern horizon when you were born.
About cusp birthdays
Born on a boundary date? Sites sometimes disagree by a day. We use standard tropical ranges. If you are near a cusp, birth time helps when you try the Moon and rising tools.
Frequently asked questions
Is the calculator free?
Yes. It is free and instant. No account needed.
Why doesn't this match my Indian Vedic sign?
Western sun sign uses the tropical zodiac. Indian Vedic Janma Rashi uses the sidereal Moon. They often differ. Try the Indian Vedic Moon Sign Calculator for that view.
