Find your birthday in the table above. For example, someone born on May 25 falls in the May 21–June 20 range and would be assigned Deer in the popular modern chart. Someone born February 25 would be assigned Wolf.
Are These Traditional Indigenous Birth Signs?
No single birth-sign chart represents all Native American or Indigenous Nations. The 12-sign system mirrors Western zodiac date ranges and became popular through modern Earth Astrology. That does not mean Indigenous astronomy, seasonal knowledge or animal teachings are not real; it means those teachings are specific to particular Nations and should not be flattened into one universal horoscope.

Is there a Native American zodiac calculator?
You do not need a calculator to use the common chart. Match your birthday to the date ranges above. Keep in mind that this is a modern astrology system rather than a universal traditional Indigenous calendar.
