Zodiac signs dates are the calendar ranges for the twelve signs. The familiar Western (tropical) ranges are below — but note that your Vedic (sidereal) sign often differs, because the two zodiacs have drifted ~24° apart (the ayanamsa).
Western (Tropical) Date Ranges
- Aries Mar 21–Apr 19 · Taurus Apr 20–May 20 · Gemini May 21–Jun 20
- Cancer Jun 21–Jul 22 · Leo Jul 23–Aug 22 · Virgo Aug 23–Sep 22
- Libra Sep 23–Oct 22 · Scorpio Oct 23–Nov 21 · Sagittarius Nov 22–Dec 21
- Capricorn Dec 22–Jan 19 · Aquarius Jan 20–Feb 18 · Pisces Feb 19–Mar 20
Why Your Vedic Sign May Differ
These ranges are tropical (season-based). Vedic astrology is sidereal (star-based), so if your birthday sits near the start of a sign, your Vedic Sun sign is usually the previous one. And in any case, Vedic astrology leads with the Moon sign, not the Sun — see the full zodiac signs guide and the Rashis.

The Western ranges run Aries Mar 21–Apr 19 through Pisces Feb 19–Mar 20. But your Vedic sidereal sign can differ, often falling one place earlier.
Why is my zodiac sign different by date in Vedic astrology?
Because the Western dates are tropical (season-based) and Vedic astrology is sidereal (star-based); the two have drifted about 24° apart, the ayanamsa.
Which sign should I read — Sun or Moon?
Western horoscopes use the Sun sign, but Vedic astrology leads with the more personal Moon sign and the Ascendant.
