Sonnenzeichen-Rechner

The sun sign is the position of the Sun in the zodiac at the exact moment of your birth. It is the "sign" everyone knows — when someone says "I'm a Leo" or "I'm a Pisces", they're talking about their sun sign. In astrology, it represents your conscious identity: the essence behind who you are, your core values, the vital impulse that moves you.

Why the sun sign is insufficient alone

A legitimate criticism of popular astrology is reducing a person to their sun sign. Two people with Sun in Leo can be very different — one with Moon in Cancer and Ascendant in Virgo (shy, domestic Leo) and another with Moon in Sagittarius and Ascendant in Aries (overpowering, expansive Leo).

Frequently asked questions

Does the sign Ophiuchus exist?

As a constellation, yes — astronomy recognizes 13 on the ecliptic. As an astrological sign, no: Western astrology divides the solar year into 12 equal segments of 30°.

Have I changed signs since childhood?

No. The birth sun sign is fixed for life.
