Enter the birth year, local clock time, and a named time zone such as America/Los_Angeles. The named zone accounts for daylight saving rules on the birth date.

This lookup uses the tropical zodiac and identifies only the Sun sign. Use the chart step for other placements.

What Capricorn and Aquarius birthdays are like

Capricorn

Capricorn energy builds confidence through patience, responsibility, and work that can stand the test of time. It brings ambition with substance and a quietly impressive staying power. As a cardinal earth sign ruled by Saturn, Capricorn favors giving a long term goal structure; picture a stone stair built one careful step at a time.

Aquarius

Aquarius energy makes room for the idea nobody has tried yet. It brings originality, independence, and an instinct for finding the people and possibilities ahead of their time. As a fixed air sign ruled by Saturn, Aquarius favors holding an independent perspective; picture a new blueprint shared with the whole group.
