March 21 is the first day of Aries ♈, which runs from March 21 to April 19.
Enter a birth month and day to find the Western (tropical) zodiac sign, its date range and its traditional symbol.
Signs change on fixed calendar dates called cusps, so only the month and day matter — the birth year is not needed for the Western zodiac (it is needed for the Chinese zodiac).

Frequently asked questions
What if my birthday is on a cusp?
This calculator uses the most widely published cusp dates. Some almanacs shift a cusp by a day in certain years because the Sun's exact entry moment varies — if you were born on a boundary day, your sign can depend on the year and time of birth.
What about February 29 birthdays?
February 29 falls within Pisces (February 19 – March 20), and the calculator accepts it.
Is Ophiuchus a zodiac sign?
Not in the traditional twelve-sign system used here. The constellation Ophiuchus crosses the ecliptic, but the astrological zodiac has kept twelve signs of 30° each.
