Which zodiac sign is each month?
Every calendar month is split between two signs — the one ending and the one beginning. If all you remember is someone's birth month, this list tells you which two signs they could be, and the exact day the switch happens.
- January — Capricorn (through the 19th) or Aquarius (from the 20th)
- February — Aquarius (through the 18th) or Pisces (from the 19th)
- March — Pisces (through the 20th) or Aries (from the 21st)
- April — Aries (through the 19th) or Taurus (from the 20th)
- May — Taurus (through the 20th) or Gemini (from the 21st)
- June — Gemini (through the 20th) or Cancer (from the 21st)
- July — Cancer (through the 22nd) or Leo (from the 23rd)
- August — Leo (through the 22nd) or Virgo (from the 23rd)
- September — Virgo (through the 22nd) or Libra (from the 23rd)
- October — Libra (through the 22nd) or Scorpio (from the 23rd)
- November — Scorpio (through the 21st) or Sagittarius (from the 22nd)
- December — Sagittarius (through the 21st) or Capricorn (from the 22nd)

Decans: shades within each sign
Each sign covers 30 degrees of the zodiac, and those 30 degrees split into three decans of 10. The first shows the sign in its purest form; the second and third add a shade of the other two signs of the same element. That's why two people of the same sign, born at the start and at the end of its range, can feel so different: a first-decan Aries is pure ignition, a third-decan one — more of a strategist, with Sagittarius undertones. If your sign only half fits you, check which decan you fall into — sometimes that's where the difference lives.
What about the 13th sign, Ophiuchus?
Every few years the story goes around that "a new sign has appeared" and all the dates have shifted. The constellation Ophiuchus does exist, and the Sun passes in front of it in December. But Western astrology isn't based on constellations — it uses the tropical zodiac: twelve equal 30-degree sectors counted from the spring equinox. That system has twelve signs by definition; constellations can be wide or narrow, bright or faint, and the chart doesn't change.
Your Sun sign is not your whole chart
The sign you just found is your Sun sign. It sets a recognizable pattern of character — and it's worth knowing. But it's one layer of the picture: at the moment you were born, the Moon, Venus, Mars and the other planets each occupied their own positions. Their combination is what makes you you, rather than a "typical Leo" or a "textbook Virgo."
So if the general portrait of your sign only half-resonates, that's normal — the other parts of your chart are speaking louder. A full birth chart, calculated from your date, time and place of birth, shows the whole picture.
