Zodiac Season
Whose month it is, read straight from where the Sun sits right now, and the mood it sets for all of us.
What is a zodiac season?
Every day, the Sun moves a little further along the sky. Over about a month it crosses one whole zodiac sign, and that month becomes that sign's season. Right now the Sun is standing in one of the twelve, colouring the mood for everyone at once, whatever sign you were born under.
It is the oldest calendar there is. When your own birthday arrives, the Sun has come back to the exact place it sat the day you were born, which is what makes that sign your Sun sign. Following the seasons is a gentle way to feel the year turn.
The twelve seasons of the year
One turn of the Sun through the zodiac. This month's season is marked.
Born in your own season
Your birthday always lands inside your Sun sign's season, when the Sun returns to where it began for you. That is your solar return, the astrologer's name for the turn of your personal year, and the reason your birthday month often feels a little more like you.
Zodiac seasons, answered
What zodiac season is it right now?
The panel at the top of this page reads the real position of the Sun and tells you whose season we are in today, the date it ends, and which season comes next.
What is a zodiac season?
As the Sun travels across the sky it spends about a month in each of the twelve signs. That month is that sign's season, and it sets a shared mood for everyone, whatever your own sign happens to be.
How long does each zodiac season last?
Roughly 30 days, because the Sun takes about a month to cross each sign. The exact start and end dates shift by a day or two from year to year, which is why this page reads them live.
What does it mean to be born in your season?
It means the Sun was in your own sign the day you were born, which is simply what makes it your Sun sign. Your birthday always falls somewhere inside your season.
Do zodiac seasons affect everyone?
Yes. The Sun's sign sets a backdrop for the whole month for all of us. Your own birth chart then shapes how personally you feel it, which is what the daily reading maps for you.
