Sign dates are approximate: the sun enters each sign on a slightly different day each year, so birthdays on the first or last day of a sign can fall either side.

What this page cannot tell you
This reports what astrological tradition says about the angle between two sun signs; it is not a prediction and astrology has no scientific support. Astrologers who compare full birth charts look at many more factors than sun signs, and they do not all agree on interpretations.
How to check zodiac compatibility
- Pick the first sign. Or choose a birthday to find it.
- Pick the second sign. The same way.
- Read the aspect. How far apart the signs are and the traditional reading.
- See every pairing. The first sign against all twelve.

What this page reports
Sign dates, elements (fire, earth, air, water) and modalities (cardinal, fixed, mutable) follow the Wikipedia article on astrological signs. The relationship between two signs is the astrological aspect their positions make on the 12-sign circle, 30° apart each: same sign (conjunction), 2 apart (sextile, 60°), 3 apart (square, 90°), 4 apart (trine, 120°), 6 apart (opposition, 180°), with the minor semisextile and quincunx between. The traditional reading of each aspect is summarised from Wikipedia's article on astrological aspects.
Limits: this reports astrological tradition, not a prediction. Astrology has no scientific support. The page compares sun signs only; astrologers who compare full birth charts use many more factors and do not all agree.
