21 March to 19 April · Fire · Cardinal
Aries begins the zodiac and behaves like it: first to move, first to speak, quickest to recover. Momentum is the Aries medicine.
20 April to 20 May · Earth · Fixed
Taurus builds comfort and keeps it. Slow to start, almost impossible to shift once committed.
21 May to 20 June · Air · Mutable
Gemini thinks out loud and learns by talking. Two ideas at once is the natural state, not a flaw.
21 June to 22 July · Water · Cardinal
Cancer leads through care. The shell is real, and so is what it protects.
23 July to 22 August · Fire · Fixed
Leo gives heat and expects to be seen giving it. Creative pride, at its best, is contagious generosity.
23 August to 22 September · Earth · Mutable
Virgo improves things. The eye for what is wrong is a form of devotion, aimed inward too often.
23 September to 22 October · Air · Cardinal
Libra weighs. Relationship is the arena where Libra learns where its own weight sits.
23 October to 21 November · Water · Fixed
Scorpio goes all the way in or not at all. Depth, secrecy and transformation are the recurring themes.
22 November to 21 December · Fire · Mutable
Sagittarius aims past the horizon. Meaning matters more than comfort.
22 December to 19 January · Earth · Cardinal
Capricorn plays the long game and usually wins it. Responsibility arrives early and is carried well.
20 January to 18 February · Air · Fixed
Aquarius thinks in systems and futures. Warmth arrives as loyalty to ideas and to people who share them.
19 February to 20 March · Water · Mutable
Pisces closes the circle and dissolves the edges. Boundaries are the lifelong practice; imagination is the gift.

See today's lucky numbersStart from your birth date. If you were born within a day or two of a boundary, the sun and moon calculator settles it from your exact birth details.
The sign page covers element, modality and ruling planet before it covers traits, because those three explain most of what follows.
The sun sign is one third of the picture. The moon explains your reactions and the rising sign explains how you come across on first meeting.
Compatibility is most useful when you read the reasoning rather than the score, since two difficult elements often work well with structure in place.
The daily horoscope keeps the sign in motion, and any reading worth returning to can be saved with a note to My Report.
The structure behind the twelve signs, what each layer of a chart is actually doing, and how far a sun sign reading can reasonably go.
The twelve signs divide into four elements, fire, earth, air and water, describing temperament, and three modalities, cardinal, fixed and mutable, describing how each sign handles change.
Cardinal signs start things, fixed signs sustain them and mutable signs adapt. Element and modality together explain most of what a sign is like before you look at any individual chart, and no two signs share the same combination.
The sun sign describes the core drive and is the one everyone knows. The moon sign describes emotional reactions and what you need in private, and it is often the sign people recognise more once they read it.
The rising sign, or ascendant, depends on your birth time and describes the manner you arrive with. Together the three explain why two people with the same sun sign can feel nothing alike.
Each sign is governed by a planet that colours its behaviour. Mars gives Aries its directness, Venus gives Taurus and Libra their pull towards comfort and balance, Saturn gives Capricorn its patience with long timelines.
The ruling planet is also where the traditional correspondences come from, which is why the lucky metal, stone and number of a sign are not arbitrary.
Every sign carries a set of correspondences inherited from its ruling planet: numbers, a metal, one or more stones, a flower, a colour range and a day of the week. Mars gives Aries iron and the number nine, Venus gives Taurus and Libra copper, the Moon gives Cancer silver and pearl, Saturn gives Capricorn lead and the number eight.
Each sign page lists the full traditional set, and the lucky numbers pages add a daily draw on top of it for people who prefer something that changes.
Compatibility here is built from three measurable things: whether the elements support each other, whether the modalities compete, and the angle between the two signs on the wheel. Signs four apart tend to flow, signs three apart tend to grate productively, and signs opposite each other attract and exhaust in equal measure.
A low score is not a verdict. It describes where two people have to be deliberate, which is often more useful than being told a pairing is easy.
Sign boundaries move by a day or so each year because the solar year is not a whole number of days. Someone born on the twenty first of a month can genuinely belong to either sign depending on the year and the time of day.
There is no such thing as being half of both. The sun was in one sign at the moment you were born, and the calculator resolves it from your date, time and place.
A retrograde is an optical effect, a planet appearing to move backwards from where we stand. Traditionally it marks a period for revisiting rather than launching, which is why Mercury retrograde has its reputation for admin and communication going sideways.
Transits are simply where the planets are now against where they were at your birth. They give the daily and monthly readings their texture and they are the reason a horoscope changes at all.
A sun sign horoscope addresses one twelfth of the population at a time, so it works best as a prompt rather than a prediction. If a reading points at patience, the useful question is where you are currently forcing something.
For a picture that fits you rather than a twelfth of everyone, add the moon and rising signs. That is usually the point at which people stop finding astrology generic.
