One of the most common questions I am asked is “What’s my Star Sign?”
Follow this link to enter your time, date and place of birth in the free Astrology Birth Chart Calculator.
For the majority of people with whom I come into contact, it is an easy question to answer. However, for some it is not so easy as they were “born on the cusp”.
As a result there can be confusion as to which Zodiac Sign is their Sun Sign.
What Does Born on The Cusp Mean?
Born on the Cusp is the term used to describe those who were born during the period of transition when the sun moves from one Zodiac Sign to the next.
This means that in some years the date will be in one sign and in other years it will be in an adjacent sign.
For instance, in the year I was born the sun moved into Gemini on a day when it is usually in Taurus.
Here’s an example.
Taurus or Gemini?
Most of the time anyone born on May 21 will be a Taurus. However, in the year I was born the sun moved into Gemini during the early afternoon of May 21.
I was born a couple of hours later, which means that my Sun Sign is Gemini.
Coincidentally my son was also born on May 21 and he too is a Gemini!
However, more information can be found about what being born on the Cusp means, by reading this article about Cusp Signs.
Then come back here to find your true your Sun Sign, which you will discover on your free Astrology Birth Chart.

Hi . I was born on 23 September 1997 at4:20pm in sikar rajasthan India.The sun sign chart shows the sun to be in libra but I have many characteristics of a virgo. Could you please clarify and also tell me what my sun sign and ruling planet are?
Hi Kriti. The sun was in Libra when you were born but it is not surprising that you have Virgo characteristics as you were born on the cusp. Here’s some more info about the Virgo-Libra Cusp.
This article about Libra will tell you about your ruling planet 🙂
It keeps telling me I’m doing something wrong when I put in my birth year and time. I come up with a – 8 for the timecode or the UTC or whatever it is. I’ve started over four times now with no success. I don’t know what I am doing wrong.
Hi Suzanne. I have checked the chart and it is working fine. Dont worry about the time code, the -8 it is coming up with means that your timezone is 8 hours behind GMT.
Just put your info in and hit submit, which will take you to your birthchart 🙂
Hi, I am born in Sitiawan, Perak, Malaysia on 20 June 1990, at 10.30 am

Hi Zipporah, post your town of birth I will will check to see what your sun sign is.
I do not currently do Full Chart Interpretations, but I can recommend a book that will help you. Have a look at [easyazon_link identifier="1589796535" locale="US" tag="zodiaclove-20"]The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need[/easyazon_link]. It will be cheaper than getting an Interpretation done ?
Hi I was Born on January 18, 1992 in St. Catharines Ontario. I’ve seen before that I’m a Cap-Aqua Cusp, but I have no idea how to read this chart. Thank you.

Dose being born on the cusp of Capricorn /Aquarius have a baring on your relationships or the natural traits of an Aquarius male
Glen, you can find out more about being born on the Cusp of Capricorn-Aquarius here Capricorn-Aquarius Cusp 🙂
I don’t know how to read the birth chart. Can you help ? I was born on June 21st 2001 at 8:23 pm in Glendale Los Angeles California i believe that i was born on the cusp of Gemini- cancer but my father always told me that i have more Gemini traits then i do cancer ..
Hi Arianna, if you put your details into the birth chart and then scroll down on the results page, you will see that the sun was just into Cancer when you were born. However, because you have three other planets in Gemini, including Gemini’s ruling planet Mercury, then Gemini will have a big influence on your characteristics.
I am not clear on my birth chart if the sun was passing through Pisces at enough percentage, which would lead to me to understand I was born during the end of the cusp that year. I understand cusp dates vary with the sun but many astrologers say “about” dates 19-23 of each month, yet i have found many sites of the Pisces-Aries cusp being 3/20-3/27 and rhat it depends on your sunchart at birth. Can you please help lol?
Im sorry, my bday is 3/27/78 time 8:03am
Hi Ashley. If you can let me know your town of birth then I will be able to help 🙂
Your sun sign birth calculator is not working I have tried dozen times and it does nothing please fix
Hi Sonia, sorry you are having trouble with this. I have tested the Birth Sign Calculator and it seems to be working OK. After you enter your birth city, scroll down the page and hit next. You should then see a confirmation of the time zone, hit the Submit button and your birth chart should appear. Hope this helps 🙂
Oh my god! This is why I never believe in zodiac before because I thought I was a Gemini but my character is not a Gemini at all.
And by the way I was born May 21 1987 Taurus-Gemini cusp.
Thank you so much. All makes sense now why i have this Bull angry XD
I am a Taurus-Gemini Cusper too Adi. It accounts for the fact that I am quite maternal and yes, it takes a lot for me to lose my temper, but when I do…..
Hello !
So I can’t read this also ugh !
My birthday is February 19 1993 born 10:17 am and born in pa . Please help ?
Hi Karen. Let me have your exact birth location and I can have a look 🙂
I couldn’t understand this. I was born on 19 feb 2002 at around 2am. Am I aquarius pisces cusp? Is the circle and the dot the sun? If it is im directly in between aquarius and pisces at 29deg.
Hi Aaron, yes the circle and dot is the sun. However, we can get a more accurate picture if you can also give me your birthplace.
Its in Singapore

Hi Lara, you are indeed a Pisces. However, your chart does not appear to be influenced by Aries. I will be adding more information about how to interpret a birth chart in the coming months. However, this book The Only Astrology Book You’ll Ever Need will show you what to do 🙂
I’ve always been told I was an Aquarius-Pisces, and I loved it. But this is telling me I’m in Pisces with 1°, because I was born in 2002 AND at 12 AM exact.
Ryken, although the Sun was in Pisces at the time you were born, it still makes you a “Cusper” and you will have the personality traits of both Aquarius and Pisces. You can find out more on my page about those born on this cusp.
I don’t know how to read this birth chart. Can you help? I was born on June 20, 1968 in Louise, Mississippi at 9:00 p.m. Am I a Cancer or a Gemini or both?
You are a Gemini, born on the cusp with Cancer. See this article about Gemini Cancer cusp signs
AHHHH WE HAVE THE SAME BDAY! HIII!! I was born in 1995.
Yep
