The signs and their dates

These are the dates most horoscope columns use. The sun moves into each sign at a slightly different moment each year, so someone born on the first or last day of a range (a “cusp”) may find their sign shifts by a day depending on the year.

Sign	Dates	Element
Aries	March 21 – April 19	Fire
Taurus	April 20 – May 20	Earth
Gemini	May 21 – June 20	Air
Cancer	June 21 – July 22	Water
Leo	July 23 – August 22	Fire
Virgo	August 23 – September 22	Earth
Libra	September 23 – October 22	Air
Scorpio	October 23 – November 21	Water
Sagittarius	November 22 – December 21	Fire

Games to play with it

Find your sign-mate: spin a sign, and everyone born under it raises a hand. In a group of 25 there is usually at least one match, and often a surprise pair.
Guess my sign: a player spins secretly, then the others ask yes or no questions about the dates (“Is it in summer?”) until they name it.
Birthday party theme: spin for the guest of honor’s sign and build decorations around its element: candles and red for fire, plants for earth, kites and paper birds for air, blue and shells for water.

For writers

Stuck on a character? Spin a sign and give them its birthday. It is a quick way to fix a date for a character sheet, and the popular stereotypes (the stubborn Taurus, the restless Gemini) give you something to play with or play against. Combine it with the character wheel for a full sketch.

Questions and answers

Does the wheel tell my future?

No. It picks a sign at random, nothing more. Astrology is a tradition people enjoy, not a science, and this page treats it as a game.

Why do some sites give slightly different dates?

Because the boundaries move by about a day from year to year with the calendar. The dates here are the common ones; if you were born on a boundary day, an astrology app that uses your birth year and time will settle it.

Is there a wheel for the Chinese zodiac?

Yes, the Chinese zodiac wheel has the twelve animals in order, with their recent years.
