Aries (21 Mar–19 Apr), Taurus (20 Apr–20 May), Gemini (21 May–20 Jun), Cancer (21 Jun–22 Jul), Leo (23 Jul–22 Aug), Virgo (23 Aug–22 Sep), Libra (23 Sep–22 Oct), Scorpio (23 Oct–21 Nov), Sagittarius (22 Nov–21 Dec), Capricorn (22 Dec–19 Jan), Aquarius (20 Jan–18 Feb), Pisces (19 Feb–20 Mar).
The 12 signs split into four elements: Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius), Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn), Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) and Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces).
If you were born right at the boundary between two signs (for example 22–23 August), you are said to be “on the cusp”. Boundary dates can vary by a day depending on the year and time.
The sun sign (the usual one) depends only on the birth date. The ascendant depends on the time and place of birth and is calculated separately, in a full birth chart.
The western zodiac is based on the month of birth (12 signs). The Chinese one is based on the year of birth, with 12 animals repeating every 12 years.

In popular astrology, signs of the same element are considered compatible, as are some Fire–Air and Earth–Water combinations. It is a symbolic interpretation, though, not a scientific one.
