Which Zodiac Sign Are You Based on Your Birthday?

Add the digits of your birthdate until you get a single number—that’s your Love Number. For example, if you were born on March 12, 1987, you would calculate 1 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 31, then reduce it again: 3 + 1 = 4. Your final Love Number is 4.

See the descriptions below to find the zodiac signs most compatible with you:

Love Number 1

You’re independent and imaginative, with a sharp eye for trends. Always ahead of the fashion curve, you tend to be the center of attention. You take the lead in love and don’t mind making the first move. A strong possessive streak can make you a bit domineering. Your competitive nature often draws strong reactions—people either really like you or strongly dislike you. You’re attracted to intelligent, athletic partners. Most compatible signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. Ideal partner birthdays: 1, 20, 29, 28.

Love Number 2

Your approach to love is emotional, romantic, and compassionate. You’re approachable, get along with almost everyone, and naturally seek harmony. Your humility earns the respect and affection of friends. At times, you can be overly sensitive or lack confidence. You prefer gentle yet strong partners with a good sense of humor. Most compatible signs: Cancer, Pisces. Ideal partner birthdays: 2, 11, 20, 29.

Love Number 3

You’re imaginative and thrill-seeking, with magnetic charm and strong communication skills, so you’re never short on friends or admirers. When overly excited or successful, you can come across as arrogant, and your emotions often show on your face, which can make you prone to jealousy. You’re drawn to artistic partners. Most compatible signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. Ideal partner birthdays: 3, 12, 21, 30.

Love Number 4

You’re loyal, trustworthy, and kind, and you rarely waver once committed. Your stubbornness, however, can get you into trouble—you might hold on to an unworthy partner and end up hurting yourself. You sometimes choose partners on a whim, which can lead to extremes, though you usually know when to pull back. Most compatible signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. Ideal partner birthdays: 4, 13, 22, 31.

Love Number 5

Your approach to love is adventurous and free-spirited. Highly creative, you’re full of fresh, exciting ideas and are fun to be around. You adapt well to any environment, though you can be easily swayed by trends. You prefer partners who are physically appealing, talented, and witty; otherwise, you may get bored. Most compatible signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. Ideal partner birthdays: 4, 23.

Love Number 6

Warm, loyal, gentle, and caring, you’re popular with friends of all genders and attract many promising partners. Because you naturally like taking care of others, you may gravitate toward partners who need protection or are younger, which can create an imbalance that isn’t ideal for you. You value family highly, so you’re unlikely to pursue someone whose views clash with yours or whom your family dislikes. You’re drawn to charming, intelligent, and sophisticated “boy‑next‑door” types. Most compatible signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn. Ideal partner birthdays: 6, 15, 24.

Love Number 7

You have a poetic, romantic view of love. Quiet and traditional, you prefer not to draw attention to yourself, which gives you a dreamy, mysterious appeal that attracts admirers. You’re selective with friends and partners and set high standards. You’re drawn to unique, knowledgeable people, especially those with a solitary streak. Most compatible signs: Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. Ideal partner birthdays: 7, 16, 25.

Love Number 8

You’re very confident and often take a “better alone than in bad company” approach to love, preferring to wait for the right person. A natural leader with a strong, competitive personality, you may intimidate potential partners. At times, you can be too serious, domineering, or jealous, which can hinder romance. Your ideal partner is attractive, intelligent, and charismatic. Most compatible signs: Leo, Scorpio, Libra. Ideal partner birthdays: 8, 17, 26.

Love Number 9

You come across as mature, generous, and understanding, which attracts people seeking security and a confidant. At the same time, you can handle emotions a bit too rationally and may enjoy debating, which can lead to impatience or a short temper. You prefer responsible partners who are also attractive, exceptionally intelligent, and charming. Most compatible signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius. Ideal partner birthdays: 9, 18, 27.
