CancerScorpioPisces

♈︎ Aries: the bold beginner

March 21 to April 19 · Fire · ruled by Mars

Aries goes first. The first sign of the zodiac starts the astrological year at the spring equinox, and its people tend to start things too: projects, adventures, arguments. Brave, direct and impatient, an Aries would rather try and fail than wait and wonder.

♉︎ Taurus: the steady sensualist

April 20 to May 20 · Earth · ruled by Venus

Taurus builds a good life and then enjoys it. Ruled by Venus, the bull loves comfort, beauty, good food and loyal people, and once a Taurus has decided something, moving them takes more than a debate.

♊︎ Gemini: the curious talker

May 21 to June 20 · Air · ruled by Mercury

Gemini wants to know everything and tell you about it. The twins stand for a mind that can hold two ideas at once, which makes Geminis quick, funny and adaptable, and sometimes hard to pin down.

♋︎ Cancer: the loyal protector

June 21 to July 22 · Water · ruled by the Moon

Cancer carries home on its back. Ruled by the Moon, the crab is tender inside a hard shell: protective of family, sharp about feelings and capable of remembering what you said in 2014.

♌︎ Leo: the generous star

July 23 to August 22 · Fire · ruled by the Sun

Leo was born for the spotlight and shares it generously. Ruled by the Sun, the lion is warm, proud, creative and loyal to the bone, and needs to be appreciated the way plants need light.

♍︎ Virgo: the careful helper

August 23 to September 22 · Earth · ruled by Mercury

Virgo sees the detail everyone else missed and quietly fixes it. The maiden with the wheat stands for harvest and care: practical, kind and analytical, with standards that start with themselves.

♎︎ Libra: the graceful diplomat

September 23 to October 22 · Air · ruled by Venus

Libra wants things fair and beautiful. The only sign symbolised by an object, the scales, Libra weighs every side, charms every room and hates a quarrel almost as much as an ugly sofa.

♏︎ Scorpio: the intense mystery

October 23 to November 21 · Water · ruled by Mars and Pluto

Scorpio goes deep or not at all. Intense, private and loyal, the scorpion reads people like books and keeps its own pages closed, and when it commits it commits for life.

♐︎ Sagittarius: the free explorer

November 22 to December 21 · Fire · ruled by Jupiter

Sagittarius aims its arrow at the horizon. The centaur archer loves travel, big ideas and honest talk, and carries a lucky optimism that makes everything feel like an adventure.

♑︎ Capricorn: the patient climber

December 22 to January 19 · Earth · ruled by Saturn

Capricorn climbs. The sea-goat is ambitious, disciplined and dryly funny, plays the long game and tends to get better, and more relaxed, with every decade.

♒︎ Aquarius: the original thinker

January 20 to February 18 · Air · ruled by Saturn and Uranus

Aquarius pours new ideas into the world. Independent, inventive and humane, the water bearer cares about people in general, friends in particular and doing things differently on principle.

♓︎ Pisces: the dreamy empath

February 19 to March 20 · Water · ruled by Jupiter and Neptune

Pisces swims between worlds. The two fish stand for a soul that is both here and elsewhere: imaginative, compassionate and intuitive, absorbing every mood in the room.

Questions about the zodiac signs

What are the 12 zodiac signs in order?

Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. The order follows the Sun through the year, starting with Aries at the spring equinox around March 21.

How do I find my zodiac sign?

Your zodiac sign (sun sign) is the sign the Sun was in on your birthday. Enter your birthday above, or check the dates: for example, anyone born between July 23 and August 22 is a Leo.

What are the four elements in astrology?

Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Signs of the same element are said to understand each other easily.

What if I was born on the cusp?

The Sun changes sign on slightly different dates each year, usually within a day. If you were born on a boundary date, you may belong to either sign: an exact birth chart for your year, time and place settles it.

Is astrology real?

There is no scientific evidence that the stars shape personality or predict events. Many people still enjoy the zodiac as a language for talking about character, and that is how we offer it: for fun.
