The Sun sign is the most familiar part of astrology and the basis of newspaper horoscopes. It reflects your essential character, while your Moon and rising signs add depth and nuance.
Frequently asked questions
What is a Sun sign?
Your Sun sign is the zodiac constellation the Sun appeared in when you were born. It describes your core identity and ego in Western astrology.
Do I need my birth time for my Sun sign?
Usually not. The only exception is if you were born on a day the sign changes (the cusp), when the exact time can decide it.
Is this Western or Vedic?
This calculator gives the Western (tropical) Sun sign, which is what 'zodiac sign' normally refers to. Your Vedic Moon sign (Rashi) is calculated differently.
