What is a Sun Sign?
Your Sun Sign (also called Star Sign or Zodiac Sign) is determined by the position of the Sun at the exact moment of your birth. In Western astrology, the Sun travels through the 12 signs of the tropical zodiac, spending approximately 30 days in each. Your Sun Sign represents your core identity — your ego, conscious will, and the fundamental essence of who you are.
When someone asks "What's your sign?", they're asking about your Sun Sign. It's the most influential placement in your natal chart and shapes your basic personality, life goals, and how you shine in the world.
