What is Zodiac Sign?

As per western astrology, Zodiac is an imaginary belt around the sky that extends about 8 degrees on either side of the ecliptic, the plane of Earth’s orbit and of the apparent annual path of the Sun. As per both Western and Vedic astrology, the zodiac is divided into twelve sectors in which each astrology sign occupies 30-degree sectors of the ecliptic. These twelve sectors correspond to the star constellations that are referred to as the Sun sign in Western astrology and the Moon sign in Vedic astrology.

What is My Zodiac Sign?

Western astrology and Indian astrology determine your zodiac signs based on the position of the Sun and the Moon respectively. The zodiac sign in which the Sun is placed at the time of your birth is called your Sun Sign while the zodiac sign in which the Moon is placed at the time of your birth is called your Moon Sign.

Since the Sun or the Moon passes through all zodiac signs in sequence for a fixed period of an interval, the zodiac sign dates are not the same. Here are the zodiac sign charts including zodiac sign months and dates according to Western and Vedic astrology methods.

Your Zodiac Sign According to Western Astrology

As per Western Astrology, the zodiac month starts from the month of March in which the spring equinox falls. The below chart shows the zodiac chart based on western astrology. This is the most popular way to find zodiac sign by your date of birth.

Your Zodiac Sign According to Vedic Astrology 

Unlike Western astrology, Vedic astrology calculates the zodiac sign on the basis of variable points. Thus, the zodiac sign dates readjust from time to time (usually this time period is 72 years as the planetary positions shift by one degree every 72 years). Check the below chart to find your Vedic Sun Sign date.

Vedic astrology determines the zodiac by the placement of the Moon in your horoscope or natal chart. Thus, you should always Ask an Astrologer to know your zodiac sign by date of birth and time.

Symbols and Meaning of All Zodiac Signs

The word “Zodiac” is derived from Greek which means circle of animals. Since most of the constellations, passing through the ecliptic, represent the shape of animals, the ancient Greeks called it “zōdiakos kyklos'' or “circle of animals.” They assigned the symbols to the zodiac according to the animals they represented. However, not all astrology signs depict symbols after animals. Some zodiac signs also have the symbols of humans or objects formed by their constellations in the sky. 

Here is the list of 12 zodiac signs and their symbols.

Is There Any “New” Sign in the List of Zodiac Signs?

Ophiuchus is considered to be the new and 13th zodiac sign. However, it is not part of the modern zodiac list or a new astrology sign. It is assumed to be discovered 2500 years ago but as it didn’t fit into the 12 sections of the zodiac, astrologers kept it aside from the astrology sign list.

Can You Have More Than One Zodiac Signs by Date of Birth?

No, you cannot have two zodiac signs but if you are born on the edge of two zodiac sign date ranges then you may have qualities of two zodiac signs. As per Western Astrology, the zodiac sign dates falling three days before and after the zodiac sign transition from one to another zodiac is called “Zodiac Cusp”. If a person is born under cusp date range, then he/she may exhibit personality traits from both the signs that are creating cusp. For instance, if you are born on Aries-Taurus Cusp, then you may have qualities of both Aries and Taurus. You can be impatient like Aries and also grounded as Taurus. The positive and negative qualities of both the signs will reflect in your personality and you will have more chances to blend and shine. If your birthday falls on a zodiac cusp date and you want to elevate your positive qualities, then you should wear your lucky gemstones or zodiac lucky colors after consulting expert Astrologers.
