Which zodiac system does this use?

The Western (tropical) zodiac — the twelve signs most commonly referenced in horoscopes, running from Aries (March) through Pisces (February/March), based on fixed calendar date ranges rather than the astronomical position of constellations.

Why do some sources give slightly different date ranges for a sign?

Sign boundaries shift by a day in some years because they're tied to the sun's position, which doesn't align perfectly with the calendar. This calculator uses the most commonly cited date ranges; if you were born right on a boundary date, you might see a one-day variation between sources.

What does a sign's "element" mean?

The twelve signs are grouped into four elements — fire, earth, air, and water — each said to share a general temperament (fire signs as bold and energetic, earth signs as grounded and practical, and so on). It's a traditional astrological grouping, not a scientific classification.
