Frequently asked questions

What is a dominant sign?

Your dominant sign is the zodiac sign that the most planets and key points in your chart occupy. When several bodies cluster in one sign, that sign’s qualities can color your whole personality — sometimes even more noticeably than your sun sign.

How is the dominant sign calculated?

We tally the signs of the main bodies — the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn — plus your Ascendant when a birth time is given. The sign with the most placements wins; if there is a tie, your rising sign breaks it, since the Ascendant sets the tone of the whole chart.

Is my dominant sign the same as my sun sign?

Not always. Your sun sign is just one placement, while your dominant sign reflects where the bulk of your chart’s energy actually sits. They often differ — and when they do, your dominant sign frequently feels closer to how you experience yourself.
