FAQ
When does each zodiac sign start in 2026?
In 2026, Aries starts at Mar 20, 02:45 PM UTC, Taurus at Apr 20, 01:38 AM UTC, Gemini at May 21, 12:37 AM UTC, and so on. See the full table above for all 12 signs with exact Sun ingress times.
Why are 2026 zodiac dates slightly different from other years?
The Sun crosses each 30° zodiac boundary at a precise astronomical moment that shifts from year to year (by hours or a day). 2026's ingress times are computed from NASA JPL's DE431 ephemeris, the same data used by professional astronomers.
Can I use this for my 2026 birthday?
Yes. If your birthday is near a sign boundary, check the table above to see whether you fall in the earlier or later sign for your specific year.
