Most people know their Sun Sign (a.k.a. Star Sign), which can be easily found from the date of birth using widely available tables of Sun Sign dates. However, in many cases, when the date of birth is close to the border between two signs, such general tables can be wrong. This is because the precise date and time of the Sun's entry into a Sign of the Zodiac differs quite substantially from year to year. Even for the same year, the time of the Sun's entry into, say, Aries will be very different in New York compared to Tokyo.
As an example, everyone born on the 20th of January 1980 in San Francisco has Aquarius for his or her Sun Sign, because the Sun was already in the Sign of Aquarius then. However, most popular tables will tell you that January 20, 1980 still belongs to Capricorn.
I created this Sun Sign Calculator primarily for those who want to find out their true Sun Sign. By entering your date and time of birth and specifying the location where you were born, you can make sure that the probability of an error is minimal. However, this calculator isn't perfect, in some cases it can make a mistake. See Sun Sign Calculator and its Limitations, as well as a description of a few alternatives.
Also, this calculator allows me to provide a link to a list of famous people who have their Sun in exactly the same degree as yours. I think this information will be interesting for many users.
