Finds your zodiac sign, Chinese zodiac animal, birthstone, birth flower, the weekday you were born and the moon phase on that day from a single date. It also counts the days you have lived and the days until your next birthday.
How to use
- Enter a date under "Birthday" to see your sign with its element and ruling planet, your Chinese zodiac animal, birthstones, birth flowers and day of the week.
- Under "Moon that day", see a picture of the moon on that night, the lit share and the moon's age in days.
- Open "Show the full monthly tables" for the birthstones and birth flowers of all twelve months and the sign dates for that year.
- Press "Copy" to copy the results as text.
How it works
- The zodiac sign is not taken from a fixed table: it comes from the Sun's computed position in that year. Boundary dates can shift by a day from year to year, and this device's time zone is used.
- The Chinese zodiac animal changes at Lunar New Year. If you were born in January or February before that year's Lunar New Year, you get the previous year's animal.
- Birthstones follow the modern GIA list and the 15th–20th century English tradition; birth flowers follow The Old Farmer's Almanac. Day-by-day birth flower lists are left out because their sources are unclear.
Questions and answers
- What are the October birthstone and birth flower?
- The modern birthstones are opal and tourmaline; the traditional list gives opal and aquamarine. The birth flowers are marigold and cosmos.
- Why does my January birthday show the previous year's Chinese zodiac animal?
- The animal changes at Lunar New Year, not on January 1. If you were born before it, the result shows that year's Lunar New Year date and the previous year's animal.
- Why do zodiac sign dates differ between websites?
- The moment the Sun enters the next sign changes slightly from year to year. If your birthday is a boundary day, the page shows the time of the change and gives the sign at noon.
- How is the next birthday counted for 29 February?
- In common years, 28 February is used as the birthday when counting the days.
