Ever wondered why two people born the same month act so differently? Most people only know their sun sign, but there’s more: moon sign, rising sign, and how planets lined up at your birth shape personality. This page gives clear, practical notes on each zodiac sign, basic compatibility ideas, and quick tips for using horoscopes without overthinking them.
Below are the twelve zodiac signs with their usual date ranges and a short trait to remember. Dates can shift by a day depending on the year, so check your exact birth chart if you were born on a cusp.

Compatibility isn’t just sun sign vs sun sign. Still, some easy rules help when you’re comparing charts or scanning a horoscope:
- Element matches matter: Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) pairs well with Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) — energy meets ideas. Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) pairs with Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) — practical meets emotional.
- Opposite signs can attract because they fill gaps: Taurus and Scorpio, Gemini and Sagittarius, Cancer and Capricorn. That pull can be magnetic but needs work to balance differences.
- Shared values beat perfect sign matches. Two signs that want similar lives (kids, career, travel) will get farther than two signs that are “astrologically compatible” but want different things.
