What Are Cusp Dates?

If your birthday falls on the first or last day of a sign’s range, you were born on a “cusp.” Astrologically, the Sun can only occupy one sign at the exact moment of birth — but because the Sun changes signs at a specific time each year (not always at midnight), the calendar date of a sign change can shift slightly year to year. If your birthday is within a day or two of any date above, cross-check the year you were born rather than relying on the general range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are horoscope dates?

Horoscope dates are the calendar ranges tropical astrology assigns to each of the 12 zodiac signs, based on where the Sun was positioned at your birth. They run from Aries (March 21–April 19) through Pisces (February 19–March 20).

How do I find my zodiac sign by birthday?

Match your birth date to the ranges in the table above. If you were born within a day or two of a boundary date, check that specific year’s exact Sun-sign change, since it can vary slightly from the standard range.

Are zodiac dates the same every year?

They’re close, but not identical. The Sun enters each sign at a specific time, not a fixed calendar moment, so the exact date can shift by a day depending on the year and your timezone — this mostly matters if you were born right at the edge of a range.

What’s the difference between tropical and sidereal zodiac dates?

Tropical astrology (used in most Western horoscopes, including on this site) bases sign dates on the seasons and the equinoxes. Sidereal astrology, used in Vedic traditions, aligns sign dates with the actual current position of the constellations, which shifts the ranges by about three weeks.
