How it works
Western astrology divides the year into twelve signs, each covering about a month, based on where the Sun was on your birth date. If you were born on the first or last day of a sign, called a cusp, the exact change-over time varies slightly from year to year, so your sign may differ by a day depending on the year and time of birth. The element, modality and symbol are the traditional labels for each sign.
