Frequently Asked Questions
What is a zodiac sign?
In Western astrology, your zodiac sign (also called sun sign) is determined by the position of the Sun at the time of your birth. The Western zodiac divides the year into 12 signs, each spanning roughly 30 days. Your sun sign is the most commonly referenced placement in popular astrology.
What is the difference between Western and Chinese zodiac?
The Western zodiac is based on the time of year you were born (month and day), dividing the solar year into 12 sun signs. The Chinese zodiac is based on the year of your birth, cycling through 12 animal signs over a 12-year cycle. They are completely separate systems.
What are the four elements in astrology?
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius): passionate, energetic, bold. Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn): practical, grounded, reliable. Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius): intellectual, communicative, social. Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces): intuitive, emotional, sensitive. Signs of the same element are generally considered compatible.
What is a cusp?
A cusp refers to being born on the border between two zodiac signs — typically 1–2 days on either side of a sign change date. Exact sign dates shift slightly year to year based on the solar calendar. If you were born within a day of a sign boundary, check with a birth chart tool using your exact birth date for precision.
