Discover Your Zodiac Sign With Dates For Every Star Sign
Do you know what star sign you are? Your zodiac sign, also referred to as your sun sign or star sign, is based on your date of birth and this is what astrologers use when they interpret your birth chart or write horoscopes for you.
When you were born matters in astrology because we look at the exact time and date you arrived into the world to determine which sign that the Sun, and every other planet, was in at that time.
Once you know your zodiac sign, you can read sun sign horoscopes for your star sign and find out what it means to be a particular zodiac sign.
What are the zodiac sign dates for every star sign?
You can find out what star sign you are by looking at the zodiac sign dates below.
Zodiac signs are based on a date range of around a month, so if you were born within this date range, then the Sun was in this sign when you were born and that is your star sign.
Aries star sign dates: 21st March-19th April
Taurus star sign dates: 20th April-20th May
Gemini star sign dates: 21st May-20th June
Cancer star sign dates: 21st June-22nd July
Leo star sign dates: 23rd July-22nd August
Virgo star sign dates: 23rd August-22nd September
Libra star sign dates: 23rd September-22nd October
Scorpio star sign dates: 23rd October-21st November
Sagittarius star sign dates: 22nd November-21st December
Capricorn star sign dates: 22nd December-19th January
Aquarius star sign dates: 20th January-18th February
Pisces star sign dates: 19th February-20th March
I was born on the cusp – is that a thing?
The dates of the zodiac can shift by up to a day or so each year, so if your birthday is at the beginning or end of the zodiac sign dates, then it’s known as being born on the cusp in astrology.
If you were born on the cusp, try to find out the exact date and time that you were born so you can be sure of your star sign.
Some astrologers say that you can take on aspects of both sun signs if you were born on the cusp, but an accurate birth time usually indicates that you are very much aligned with the sign that the Sun is in.
Is there a 13th zodiac sign and do I have a new star sign?
No and no.
In Western astrology, zodiac signs are based on seasons, not constellations, so the discovery of a new constellation ain’t gonna change the fact that you’re a cool Capricorn or fiery Aries.
And no one’s zodiac sign is Ophiuchus, because the star sign Ophiuchus doesn’t exist.
Which is quite handy, because it also means we don’t need to know how to pronounce it!
That’s pretty much all you need to know on this, but if you do want to read more about why this annoying rumour resurfaces every year (and why it’s nonsense!), check out this long-read article from the Queen of Astrology, Susan Miller.
The important thing to note is, no matter how much the astronomers at NASA try to play with our heads, we know that there is no thirteenth star sign.
So quit Googling ‘has my star sign changed?’ and continue living your best astro-life!
