The 12 signs are grouped into four elements: Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius), and Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces). Your element reveals your core temperament and how you interact with the world.
A cusp refers to being born near the date when the sun transitions between two signs. The exact date varies slightly each year. People born on cusp dates often relate to traits of both signs, though technically the sun is always in one sign at any given moment.
Same-element signs tend to be most compatible: Fire+Fire, Earth+Earth, Air+Air, Water+Water. Complementary pairs also work: Fire+Air, Earth+Water. Try our zodiac compatibility calculator for a detailed analysis.
Each zodiac sign corresponds to a Major Arcana tarot card — for example, Aries = The Emperor, Leo = Strength, Scorpio = Death. The four tarot suits also map to elements: Wands = Fire, Pentacles = Earth, Swords = Air, Cups = Water. Explore the connection with our birth card calculator.

Zodiac Signs and Dates: Complete Astrology Calendar for 2026
Understanding your zodiac sign begins with knowing the exact date ranges for each of the 12 signs. The zodiac is a belt of constellations through which the sun appears to travel over the course of a year, and your sun sign — what most people mean by "zodiac sign" — is determined by the sun's position on your birthday.
