What Is My Zodiac Sign? Find Your Horoscope

Looking for a little extra guidance in your life? You might find it in a horoscope when you know your zodiac sign. Astrology — the study of celestial bodies and how they may influence our lives and personalities — has exploded in popularity in recent years as people seek advice and greater connection.

The planet’s 360-degree orbit around the sun is divided into 12 equal parts, and each of these sectors has unique characteristics. Your astrological sign depends on the Earth’s relative position to the sun on the day you were born. In this guide, you can learn more about the twelve zodiac signs and what sets them apart.

Find Your Zodiac Sign

Determining your zodiac sign is easy — you just need to know what day you were born. Find your birthday within the ranges below to find your astrological sign, its symbol, element and traits commonly associated with that zodiac.

Aquarius (January 20 to February 18)

Representation: The Water-Bearer
Element: Air

Despite its name, Aquarius is actually an air sign. However, it is represented by the Water-Bearer — a healer who shares their wisdom and abilities with others. Community and structure are pillars of the Aquarius’ life. They’re full of empathy and eager to help in any way they can, making them the true humanitarians of the zodiac.

Pisces (February 19 to March 20)

Representation: The Fish
Element: Water

Often represented by two fish swimming around each other, Pisces are known for being in touch with two worlds at once — the real and the mystical. The most psychic sign of the zodiac, Pisces is extremely intuitive. They’re deeply receptive to others, which makes them both wise and cautiously defensive. A Pisces’ depth also gives them an artistic nature.

Aries (March 21 to April 19)

Representation: The Ram
Element: Fire

If you’re looking for a leader, you might look to an Aries. Aries is the first house of the zodiac, so they’re used to being in front and clearing a path for all those who follow. Their fiery nature can have its drawbacks — impulsive choices, anyone? But the Ram makes up for its shortcomings with enthusiasm and charisma.

Taurus (April 20 to May 20)

Representation: The Bull
Element: Earth

You may have heard that Taurus is stubborn, but there’s more to this sign than meets the eye. The Bull may have strong opinions, but their strength is a stabilizing force for themself and those around them. Taurus is known for good taste as well — whether it’s work or pleasure, you can trust these signs to steer you in the right direction.

Gemini (May 21 to June 20)

Representation: The Twins
Element: Air

Gemini is represented by twins, which should make it clear this sign is all about communication and duality. Everyone contains multitudes, but Gemini is especially multifaceted. These signs are witty and active, restlessly pursuing their endless curiosity. They’re after any knowledge that will help them better understand the world — and get everything done in their busy lives.

Cancer (June 21 to July 22)

Representation: The Crab
Element: Water

Cancer is the compassionate Crab. This water sign is all about family — their kind and nurturing style makes everyone feel welcome and safe. Cancer is super protective of their loved ones. However, as anyone can tell you after a long Thanksgiving weekend with the whole family, too much togetherness might leave you grumpy — that’s why Cancer is moody, too. It takes commitment to get to know the Crab.

Leo (July 23 to August 22)

Representation: The Lion
Element: Fire

While their birthdays fall in the middle of the year, Leos are all about standing out as the center of attention. These ferocious fire signs are fittingly represented by the Lion. They’re bold, loud and dramatic — but don’t mistake their desire for attention with selfishness. Leo is also engaging, equally interested in your role as the main character of your own life.

Virgo (August 23 to September 22)

Representation: The Maiden
Element: Air

Dependable. Detail-oriented. Depth. These are some of the characteristics commonly associated with Virgos, represented by the Maiden. Virgos are analytical and love to follow routines. However, a tendency to get caught up in the practical details can distract Virgo from the more spiritual parts of life. A little gentleness goes a long way to coax these air signs out of their own self-consciousness. 

Libra (September 23 to October 22)

Representation: The Scales
Element: Air

The Libra zodiac is represented by the Scales, which is the perfect way to depict this even-handed sign. Libra is all about fairness and balance. Their commitment to equality in every realm of life is admirable — but if they’re not mindful, it can sometimes lead to indecision. Creating equilibrium is essential for a Libra’s peace of mind.

Scorpio (October 23 to November 21)

Representation: The Scorpion
Element: Water

Maybe you’re already familiar with Scorpio’s reputation as an intense yet elusive sign. These water signs are often misunderstood. The Scorpion’s fierce exterior protects their significant emotional depths — if you want to get close to them, you must learn how to navigate their rough waters. 

Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21)

Representation: The Centaur
Element: Fire

Nothing can stop a Sagittarius. These expressive fire signs have plenty of opinions — and they’re sure to let you know about them! Always ready for an adventure, the Centaur is a perfect travel companion, whether you’re running an errand or road-tripping across the country. They’re also considered to be the luckiest of the zodiac signs!

Capricorn (December 22 to January 19)

Representation: The Goat
Element: Earth

The last of the earth signs, Capricorn doesn’t mind being toward the end of the zodiac. In fact, they’re the most patient sign and use time to their advantage. The Goat is goal-oriented. They’re willing to wait for what they want, persevering through challenges to fulfill their ambitions no matter what it takes.
