Adds your moon sign
Your birth date is the doorway to your astrological identity. Here's what each part of your chart means and how it shapes the way you move through the world.
Your sun sign is set by the position of the Sun on the day you were born — the sign the Sun was traveling through. It represents your core identity, your sense of self, and the essential 'you' that shines through in everything you do. It's the sign most people mean when they ask, 'What's your sign?' Each of the twelve sun signs spans about thirty days, which is why your birth date alone is enough to reveal it.
Every sign belongs to one of four elements that shape its temperament. Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) are passionate, bold, and spontaneous. Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) are grounded, patient, and practical. Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) are curious, social, and live in the world of ideas. Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) are emotional, intuitive, and feel everything deeply. Knowing your element is one of the fastest ways to understand how you relate to other people.
Alongside its element, each sign carries one of three modalities that describe how its energy moves. Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn) initiate and lead. Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius) stabilize and persist. Mutable signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces) adapt and flow with change. Your modality explains your natural relationship with ambition, momentum, and how you handle life's shifts.
Each sign is governed by a ruling planet that colors its energy. Mars fuels the drive of Aries, Venus softens Taurus and Libra, the Moon deepens the feeling of Cancer, and the Sun lights up Leo. Your ruling planet adds another distinctive layer to your astrological signature and hints at where your strengths naturally flow.
If your sun sign is your outer identity, your moon sign is your inner emotional world — how you feel, how you comfort yourself, and what you need to feel safe and secure. Because the Moon moves quickly, changing signs every two to three days, calculating it accurately requires your birth time. That's why the time field above is optional but powerful: add it, and you'll see your moon sign too.
