How the signs were assigned

Birth dates come from Wikidata and use the Gregorian calendar (George Washington was born on February 11, 1731 in the Julian calendar then used in the British colonies, which is February 22, 1732 in today’s calendar). Signs follow the conventional tropical date table used across this site. Birth times are not documented for most presidents, so Moon and rising signs are not listed.

Celebrity zodiac signs

Lists of celebrity zodiac signs are only as good as the birth dates behind them. We publish a sign only when the date is documented in a reliable public source; for living celebrities and TV casts we do not guess. To check anyone’s sign from a known birthday, use the zodiac sign finder.
