How to Use the Zodiac, Star Sign & Birthstone Finder
Enter your date of birth and instantly see your Chinese zodiac animal, your Western star sign, and your birthstone in one place. Your Chinese zodiac animal is a traditional East Asian symbol assigned in a 12-year cycle based on your birth year — think of the Year of the Dragon or the Year of the Ox. Your star sign is the Western astrology sign tied to your birth month and day, and your birthstone is the gem traditionally associated with your birth month, often used when picking jewelry or gifts.
This calculator determines your zodiac animal using your birth year. Keep in mind that the traditional Chinese zodiac actually changes on Lunar New Year rather than January 1st, so if you were born in very early January or in February — before that year's Lunar New Year — your true animal sign could differ from this result by one year.
Your star sign and birthstone follow internationally recognized standards, so those are calculated precisely with no adjustment needed. It's fun to enter the birth dates of family and friends too, and compare everyone's zodiac animal, star sign, and birthstone side by side — these are all treated as cultural tradition and fun trivia rather than anything scientifically proven, so enjoy them in that spirit.
