Zodiac signs and dates
Sign dates can shift by a day from year to year, because the Sun’s exact entry into each sign varies. If you were born on the first or last day of a sign, check the date and time against an ephemeris or a birth chart calculator.

The four elements
Astrology groups the twelve signs into four elements, three signs each. Signs that share an element tend to share a temperament.
Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) is energetic, enthusiastic and quick to act. These signs tend to start things and to wear their feelings openly.
Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) is practical, patient and grounded. These signs value what is dependable and what can be built over time.
Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) is curious, social and idea-driven. These signs think things through by talking them through.
Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) is intuitive, emotional and protective. These signs read the mood of a room before anyone speaks.
How to use your daily horoscope
- Read it as a prompt for reflection, not a forecast. A line that catches your eye is a good place to start thinking.
- Look at the section that matters most today: love, career, wealth or wellness.
- If you know your rising sign, read that reading too, since many people find it useful alongside their sun sign.
