What your birthday profile shows
Enter a birth date to see your zodiac sign, birthstone and birth flower, the day of the week you were born (with its line from the “Monday's Child” rhyme), your Chinese zodiac animal and element, and your numerology life path number.
The Chinese sign is worked out from the exact date of Lunar New Year, so a January birthday is matched to the right year.

FAQ
Why do birthstone lists differ?
The modern US list comes from American jewelers (1912, with later additions such as spinel in 2016); the UK list from the National Association of Goldsmiths (1937). Most months match, and older traditions add more stones.
What does “on the cusp” mean?
Sign dates shift by a day from year to year because the Sun's exact timing varies. If you were born on the first or last day of a sign, you may be on the cusp; a full birth chart with your birth time settles it.
I was born in January. Why is my Chinese sign from the year before?
The Chinese zodiac follows the lunar calendar. Its year begins on Lunar New Year, between January 21 and February 20, so anyone born before that date belongs to the previous animal.
From the traditional English nursery rhyme “Monday's Child”, first printed in the 1830s. Here “gay” keeps its old meaning: cheerful.
Zodiac signs, birthstones and birth flowers are traditions, not science. Enjoy them as fun facts about your birthday.
