What Is a Sun Sign?
The Sun Sign depends on the position of the Sun on the ecliptic at your birth. The ecliptic is divided into twelve equal segments of 30 degrees each, corresponding to a zodiac sign. The Sun moves through approximately one sign per month, so your sign is determined by your birth month and day.
