Zodiac element calculator
People often ask not only which sun sign they are, but which classical element and quality that sign belongs to—fire, earth, air, or water, and cardinal, fixed, or mutable.
Run — free
Runs in your browser. Free, unlimited — your data never leaves this page.
This zodiac element calculator takes a birth month and day, maps them to the Western tropical sign with a fixed popular cusp table, and returns the element and modality as first-class fields together with the sign name, Unicode glyph, the other signs that share the same element and the same modality, and a readable date range for context. The path is pure integer validation and comparison: no ephemeris download, no wall clock, and no timezone surprises, so the same birth month and day always produce the same JSON in tests and in production. Invalid combinations such as month thirteen or April thirty-first fail with invalid input and are not charged. The browser widget runs free on your device; the prepaid API charges $0.002 per successful item when apps and backends need the same contract.

For developers — API access
Everything on this page is available programmatically. This section is for teams who want to wire it into their own systems; everyone else can just use the tool above.
API endpoint
Prefer to automate it? One authenticated POST creates the task; the result comes back by webhook or a signed link. The same capability also runs here on the web, by email and from Telegram — and soon from our app too.
