MATCH BY ZODIAC
One date gives your Sun sign, your decan and your Chinese sign. Add your birth time and place, and the same chart engine members use reads your Moon sign, your Rising sign and your full birth chart — free.
Most sign calculators get the edges wrong. This one uses the Match By Zodiac record — including the real Lunar New Year date, so a January or February birthday lands on the right Chinese animal — and it can check two people at once.
Everything beyond the date is optional. Nothing you enter is stored — your result lives in this page and in its share link.
Enter a birth date and the Finder reads three layers from it: the Western Sun sign, the decan (the ten-degree third of the sign the birthday falls in), and the Chinese sign with its element. Add a birth time and it reads your Moon sign; add a birth place as well and it draws your Rising sign and your full birth map. It is the same record and the same chart engine the Match By Zodiac Atlas and member charts use.
Most tools turn the Chinese year on January 1. The tradition turns it at Lunar New Year — late January to mid-February, depending on the year. For birthdays inside that window, the simple tools are a whole year off. The Finder uses the actual Lunar New Year date for the year.
No. On Match By Zodiac your sign is set by the birth date you give at sign-up, and it never changes. The Finder is an explorer: it shows what the record says about a date, nothing more.
Your Moon sign is your emotional inner weather — what you need to feel safe, and how you react before thinking. It comes from your birth date and time: the Moon moves too fast for the date alone to place it. Add your birth place and the Finder reads your time in that place's own timezone, the same way member charts are computed.
The Rising sign — the Ascendant — is your outward style: first impressions, manner, the face the world meets. It is set by your exact birth time and place together, which is why it cannot be read from a birth date alone. With your Sun and Moon it forms your Big Three.
Yes. Add a second birth date under 'Check a pair' and the Finder scores the pairing in both directions with the same record engine members match on — the two directions genuinely differ. When both birth times are given, it also reads a Guna Milan score out of 36 from the two Moon charts. The Western and Vedic scores sit side by side; they are never averaged.
No. The Finder stores nothing — no account, no database entry, no record of your dates, times or places. Your result lives in this page and in the share link, which carries the same details in the address itself so the result can be rebuilt when the link is opened. Join Match By Zodiac and this same chart is saved on your profile.
