A note on traditions
Three systems, one birth date.
Western zodiac. This is the familiar month-and-day system of twelve signs. Cusp dates can vary slightly by source, so this tool uses the standard published ranges.
Chinese zodiac. The twelve-animal cycle follows the lunar calendar. The lookup accounts for Lunar New Year, which is why a January or February birthday needs the full date.
Birthstone. The primary stone follows the modern monthly list. Jewelry traditions differ, so some months include well-known alternatives.
Zodiac signs and birthstones are cultural and symbolic traditions, not scientific measures of personality or destiny.
Zodiac and birthstone FAQ
How is my Western zodiac sign calculated?
Your Western zodiac sign is based on your birth month and day. The calculator uses the standard tropical zodiac date ranges, including the usual cusp boundaries.
Why can my Chinese zodiac differ from my birth year animal?
The Chinese zodiac year begins at Lunar New Year, not January 1. If you were born in January or February, your animal can belong to the preceding lunar year.
Which birthstone list does this calculator use?
The calculator uses the modern monthly birthstone list and names common traditional or modern alternatives where they are widely recognized.
