What does a Sun sign describe?
Your Sun sign is the zodiac region occupied by the Sun when you were born. In astrology it is associated with identity, will and how you express yourself. It is only one part of a birth chart; your Moon and rising sign add a more detailed portrait.
How does the calculation work?
On most dates, the calendar day is enough. The system checks astronomical solar longitude across every possible world time zone. Only dates close to a sign change ask for birth time and historical time zone, so cusp dates such as March 20–21 are not decided by a fixed date table.
