Zodiac Sign Finder

Enter a date of birth to see the Western (tropical) zodiac sign, its element, and the Chinese zodiac animal. The Chinese year does not start on 1 January but at the Chinese New Year, between late January and mid February, so the finder uses your browser's Chinese calendar to get the animal right for early-year birthdays.

How to use Zodiac Sign Finder

1. Pick the date of birth.
2. Read the zodiac sign, element and Chinese zodiac animal.

When it comes in handy

• Looking up signs for birthday cards and party themes.
• Checking the Chinese zodiac animal for someone born in January or February.

Frequently asked questions

Why do some websites give different dates for signs?

The sun moves into each sign at a slightly different time each year, so the boundary can shift by a day. People born on a boundary date ("on the cusp") may see either sign.

Is astrology scientific?

No. Studies have not found that signs predict personality or events. This tool is for fun and culture.
