These are the usual dates in Western (tropical) astrology. The Sun's entry into a sign shifts by about a day from year to year, so people born on a boundary date, a cusp, may belong to either sign. The zodiac sign calculator works it out from a birth date.

Each sign is one Unicode character (♈ ARIES is U+2648, ♓ PISCES is U+2653), and each can be displayed two ways:

• Text style: a simple glyph in the color of your text, like ♈. Best for jewelry and logo sketches, chart notes and elegant bios.
• Emoji style: ♈️, the same character followed by an invisible emoji variation selector (U+FE0F). Many phones draw it as a colored tile.

The grid has both versions, so copy the one you want. Some apps turn even the plain character into an emoji automatically. If you need the text look and an app keeps changing it, try a different font or app, or add the text variation selector U+FE0E after the sign, which asks for the plain form.

⛎ (OPHIUCHUS, added in Unicode 6.0) stands for the serpent bearer, a constellation that the Sun's yearly path crosses between Scorpius and Sagittarius in late November and December. From time to time, articles resurface claiming it's a new 13th zodiac sign.

In Western astrology the twelve signs are equal 30-degree slices of the sky tied to the seasons, not to the actual constellations, so Ophiuchus isn't part of the tropical zodiac. Some astronomy-based zodiacs do include it. Either way, the symbol is here if you want it, and it's a common emoji too.

Symbol	Planet or body
☉	Sun
☽	Moon (FIRST QUARTER MOON)
☿	Mercury
♀	Venus
⊕	Earth (CIRCLED PLUS)
♂	Mars
♃	Jupiter
♄	Saturn
♅	Uranus
♆	Neptune
♇	Pluto

In a birth chart these mark where each body stood when you were born. ♀ and ♂ are the same characters used as the female and male symbols. The Pluto sign ♇ is a monogram of the letters P and L; astrologers also use other Pluto glyphs that this set doesn't include.

Astrologers use a few more signs that are in this set:

• ☌ conjunction: two planets at the same position (0°)
• ☍ opposition: two planets on opposite sides of the chart (180°)
• ☊ ascending node (north node) and ☋ descending node (south node) of the Moon

No zodiac or planet symbol has a Windows Alt code. In Microsoft Word, type the code and press Alt + X, for example 264C for ♌. On a Mac, Control + Command + Space opens the Character Viewer, where you can search by sign name. On phones, the emoji keyboard lists the signs under symbols; searching for the sign name usually finds it. For a web page, the detail panel shows the HTML code, such as ♌, and the CSS and JavaScript escapes. Recently used signs appear at the top of the page, stored only in your browser.
