About the Zodiac Signs
Zodiac Signs lists the twelve signs of the Western (tropical) zodiac with their dates, symbols, elements, qualities and ruling planets, and tells you your sign from your birthday. Each sign has its own page with the exact cusp days where it meets its neighbours, the signs it traditionally gets on with, the birthstones of its months and every birthday that falls in it. Unlike most zodiac sites, it also shows how common each sign really is, worked out from 21 years of US birth records from the CDC and the Social Security Administration.
How to use it
- 1 Pick your birth month and day, or tap a sign.
- 2 Read your sign’s dates, element, ruling planet and traits.
- 3 Check whether your birthday is on a cusp.
- 4 See which signs match yours and how common your sign is.
Frequently asked questions
What are the Gemini dates?
Gemini runs from May 21 to June 20. The first and last day or two can shift by a day depending on the year, since the Sun changes sign at a slightly different moment each year.
What element is Gemini?
Gemini is a Air sign with a Mutable quality, ruled by Mercury. Its symbol is the Twins ♊.
Who is Gemini most compatible with?
Traditionally Gemini gets on best with Aries, Leo, Libra and Aquarius — signs of the same element or a complementary one. Its opposite sign, Sagittarius, is often described as a strong attraction. Compatibility in astrology is folklore, not science, so treat it as fun.
How common are Gemini birthdays?
About 8.5% of US babies are born under Gemini, from CDC and Social Security records of every US birth from 1994 to 2014. An even split would be 8.3% for each sign.
What are the 12 zodiac signs in order?
Aries (March 21 – April 19), Taurus (April 20 – May 20), Gemini (May 21 – June 20), Cancer (June 21 – July 22), Leo (July 23 – August 22), Virgo (August 23 – September 22), Libra (September 23 – October 22), Scorpio (October 23 – November 21), Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21), Capricorn (December 22 – January 19), Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) and Pisces (February 19 – March 20).
Which zodiac sign is the most common?
In the US, Cancer is the most common sign, with about 9% of births, closely followed by Leo and Virgo: summer and early autumn are the busiest months for births, and Cancer is also one of the longest signs at 32 days. Capricorn is the rarest at about 7.5%, since it is the shortest sign and takes in the Christmas and New Year holidays, when fewer births are scheduled. The shares come from CDC and SSA records of every US birth from 1994 to 2014.
Why do zodiac dates differ between websites?
The Sun enters each sign at a slightly different time every year, so the first and last day of a sign can move by a day. Sites round these boundaries differently. If your birthday is on a cusp, a birth chart with your year, time and place of birth gives the exact answer.
Is there a 13th zodiac sign?
Ophiuchus is a constellation the Sun passes through, but the Western tropical zodiac is fixed to the seasons, not the constellations, and has always had twelve signs. Ophiuchus is not part of it.
