What Is the Current Astrology Season?
The current zodiac season changes as the Sun moves through the signs. This section reflects the current season as of the last update.
Current Season: Scorpio
Dates: October 23 – November 21
The Sun is currently in Scorpio. This season will end on November 21, when the Sun enters Sagittarius.
Note: The current season is based on the standard Western tropical zodiac. The exact sign-change time can vary by year and time zone. This section is updated regularly to remain accurate.
What Are Cusp Dates?
Cusp dates are birthdays that fall near the boundary between two zodiac signs. People born on a cusp may feel they have traits of both signs, but astrologically, the Sun is in one sign at a precise time.
The commonly cited cusp periods are:
Aries–Taurus: ~Apr 16–22
Taurus–Gemini: ~May 17–23
Gemini–Cancer: ~Jun 17–23
Cancer–Leo: ~Jul 19–25
Leo–Virgo: ~Aug 19–25
Virgo–Libra: ~Sep 19–25
Libra–Scorpio: ~Oct 19–25
Scorpio–Sagittarius: ~Nov 18–24
Sagittarius–Capricorn: ~Dec 18–24
Capricorn–Aquarius: ~Jan 16–22
Aquarius–Pisces: ~Feb 15–21
Pisces–Aries: ~Mar 17–23
Important: These ranges are popular conventions, not strict astrological boundaries. To determine your exact Sun sign on a cusp birthday, you need your birth year, time, and location. Use our birth chart calculator for a precise answer.
Tropical and Sidereal Zodiac Dates
There are two main systems used for zodiac dates. The tables above use the Western tropical zodiac, which is the most common system in Western astrology.
Western Tropical Zodiac
The tropical zodiac is based on the Sun’s position relative to the Earth’s equinoxes. It is the system used in most Western horoscopes and provides the standard date ranges shown on this page.
All date tables on this page use the tropical system unless otherwise noted.
Sidereal (Vedic) Zodiac
The sidereal zodiac is based on the actual positions of the constellations. It is used in Vedic (Indian) astrology and produces date ranges that are typically about 23–24 days later than the tropical zodiac.
For example, in the sidereal system, the sign equivalent to Capricorn (Makara) generally falls from mid-January to mid-February, rather than December 22 to January 19.
If you have seen very different zodiac dates on another site, it may be using the sidereal system.

What are the horoscope dates for each sign?
The horoscope dates for each sign are the same as the standard zodiac sign dates. They represent the period when the Sun is in each sign according to the Western tropical zodiac.
How do I find my zodiac sign by birthday?
Use the birthday lookup table above. Find the date range that includes your birthday, and you will see your zodiac sign. If you were born on a boundary date, the exact sign may depend on the year, time, and place of birth.
What is the difference between tropical and sidereal zodiac dates?
The tropical zodiac is based on the Earth’s equinoxes and is used in most Western astrology. The sidereal zodiac is based on the actual positions of the constellations and is used in Vedic astrology. Sidereal dates are typically about 23-24 days later than tropical dates.
What are cusp dates?
Cusp dates are birthdays that fall near the boundary between two zodiac signs. While some people born on a cusp may feel they have traits of both signs, astrologically the Sun is in one sign at a precise time. The exact sign depends on the birth year, time, and location.
What is the current zodiac season?
As of November 8, 2026, the current zodiac season is Scorpio, which runs from October 23 to November 21. The Sun will enter Sagittarius on November 22.
Why do zodiac dates change slightly from year to year?
The Sun does not enter each zodiac sign at the same clock time every year. The exact moment of ingress can vary by about a day depending on the year and time zone. This is why boundary dates may shift slightly.
Are these dates the same for all countries?
The standard date ranges are the same worldwide, but the exact moment of sign change can vary by time zone. For example, if the Sun enters a new sign at 12:00 UTC, someone born at 11:00 UTC on that date would still be under the previous sign, while someone born at 13:00 UTC would be under the new sign.
