THE DATES OF THE ASTROLOGICAL SIGNS (Zodiac)
各星座日期表

Although we are use to our year beginning on January 1, it was only in the middle of the eighteenth century that it was decided that the year should begin then. Before then December 25 began the year, and after the Conquest of the Norman, March 25 became New Year's Day. It was this way until 1752. The first sign of the zodiac, Aries, was placed at the beginning of the year from the spring equinox, March 21. The others were assigned accordingly as shown below. Each sign was given characteristics of its own.

The dates assigned to the signs of the zodiac are as follows, although different "astrologers" assign slightly different dates, the ones who use the constellations use significantly different dates. The table below gives the dates and the most usual variations of each sign. The approximate dates between which the sun appears in the constellation each year are shown. Neither the signs nor the constellations change places at exactly midnight sharp GMT on the dates given below, so at the beginning or end of each period you may see a variation of up to a day.

An individual born into the main portion of any of the periods below, can say with safety that they are a Gemini or a Leo, etc. But if your nativity took place on one of the borderline dates (know as a "cusp") you will need to know the exact time and latitude/longitude of the event to be certain which is your exact Sun sign (as it is called).
