How the zodiac sign is worked out

The western zodiac divides the year into 12 signs of roughly 30 days, starting at the spring equinox with Aries. Your sign is the one whose date range contains your birthday. The ranges below are the commonly published dates; the exact moment the Sun enters each sign shifts by a day from year to year, so if you were born on the first or last day of a range (the cusp) your sign can differ depending on birth year, time and place. Zodiac signs are a cultural tradition and have no scientific evidence behind personality or fortune claims.
