Find
the actual date when the Sun moves in a Zodiac constellation
On the calendar chart
below, the tropical (western) astrology star-sign dates are indicated
on the rim, on a purple base, next to the months. The star positions
of the Zodiac constellations are illustrated on the chart's centre.
The Zodiac constellation positions are plotted using precise astronomy
data. On the pink base, the names of the Zodiac constellations
are aligned with the actual position of the constellations. Notice
the astrology calendar star-sign dates, in purple, are as much
as a month out of alignment with where the actual constellations
are located, indicated on the pink rim.
On the calendar chart
below, refer to the Zodiac names on the pink rim to find when
and where the Sun moves in a Zodiac Constellation. From a selected
date, trace towards the centre, to where the ecliptic and the
dateline cross a constellation area.
To find where the Sun
was when you were born and will be every year on your birthday,
trace from your birth-date on the calendar towards the ecliptic.
The constellation that the Sun is on your birthday indicates your
actual star sign.
