People born today are Leo.
Today is 18 August 2026, and the Sun stands in Leo until 23 August. That is all a star sign is: the 30° arc of sky the Sun occupied when you were born.
That is one body out of ten. See the other nine, live.
A star sign is the Sun's position and nothing else — no birth time, no birthplace, one twelfth of one variable. The instrument shows the whole 360° instead: every body where it actually is, and the exact angle each pair is holding, timed to the minute. Free, no account.
This year's actual boundaries
Computed crossings, not a fixed table — the instant the Sun enters a sign moves by up to about a day between years. If your birthday falls within a day of one of these, the sign you were told may not be the sign the Sun was actually in; only the hour settles it, and there is no blend.

Planetology before astrology
The ecliptic is cut into twelve arcs of 30°; the Sun was in one of them when you were born, and that is the entire derivation of “Leo”. It is a position measured in degrees — the only one in your chart that a date alone can give you.
Horoscorpio works from the other end: measurement first, meaning afterwards, and only ever the meaning people put there themselves. Stop being a twelfth of one variable and be locatable in the real arrangement — when bodies close a figure around the full circle, those are real positions in real geometry.
Questions
What star sign is today?
Births on 18 August 2026 fall under Leo. A star sign is the 30° arc of the ecliptic the Sun occupied at the moment of birth, so today's sign is simply where the Sun is now.
Why do star sign dates differ between websites?
Because the boundary genuinely moves. The tropical year is not a whole number of days, so the instant the Sun crosses into a sign shifts by up to about a day from year to year. Fixed date tables average that away. The dates on this page are this year’s actual crossings, computed to the minute.
I was born on a cusp — which sign am I?
Whichever the Sun had actually reached at your birth moment. If you were born within a day of a boundary, the popular fixed-date table may well give you the wrong one, and only the time and date of birth settle it. There is no blend: the Sun is on one side of the boundary or the other.
Does my star sign describe my chart?
It is one part of it. A sun sign uses a single body out of ten and takes no account of the time or place of birth. The rest of the chart — where every other body stood, and the angles between them — is what Horoscorpio measures.
Boundaries are computed from ephemeris and stated in UTC — a boundary is a single instant, the same instant everywhere, so a neutral reference is the only unambiguous way to publish it. Converted to your own clock a crossing can fall on the adjacent day, which is why the sign shown above follows your device's time rather than Greenwich. Horoscorpio states positions and times; it is not prophecy, and it is not medical, financial or legal advice.
