Everything you need to know about the Sun Sign
How is Your Sun Sign Determined?
Your Sun sign is based on your date of birth. The Sun enters each zodiac sign on approximately the same date each year, though the exact transition dates can shift by a day due to leap years and orbital variations. People born on the cusp (the boundary between two signs) may need to check the exact Sun position for their birth year. The 12 signs follow a fixed order: Aries (March 21 - April 19), Taurus (April 20 - May 20), Gemini (May 21 - June 20), Cancer (June 21 - July 22), Leo (July 23 - August 22), Virgo (August 23 - September 22), Libra (September 23 - October 22), Scorpio (October 23 - November 21), Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21), Capricorn (December 22 - January 19), Aquarius (January 20 - February 18), and Pisces (February 19 - March 20).
Sun Sign vs Moon Sign
While your Sun sign represents your outer personality and conscious self, your Moon sign reflects your inner emotional world, instincts, and subconscious patterns. In Vedic astrology, the Moon sign (Rashi) is considered more important than the Sun sign because it governs the mind and emotions. For a complete picture of your astrological profile, it is recommended to know both your Sun sign and Moon sign.
