Spin for a random star sign

Aries to Pisces, in their usual order: the twelve signs of the Western zodiac go around this wheel. Each sign has a 1 in 12 chance. It is a game, not a horoscope: use it to break the ice, to invent a character or to tease your friends about their sign.

Games and ideas

  • Guess my sign. Each player spins in secret and acts like that sign for a round. The others guess.
  • Character creation. Writers and role-players spin a sign for a new character, then decide whether the character fits the cliché or breaks it.
  • Birthday match. Spin, and everybody whose birthday falls in that sign's dates gets the next turn, the last slice or the best seat.
  • Party icebreaker. Spin and ask the group for one famous person with that sign. Check on your phones.

Dates and elements

The dates can shift by a day from one year to the next, because they follow the Sun's position, not the calendar. Each element covers three signs, so each comes up 25% of the time.

Questions

Why do websites give slightly different dates?

The Sun enters each sign at a slightly different time each year, so the switch can fall on either side of midnight. People born on the first or last day of a sign often see both signs listed.

Is there a thirteenth sign?

Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer, is a constellation the Sun passes through, but Western astrology keeps twelve signs. Add it on a new line if your game includes it.

Can the wheel predict anything?

No. It picks one of twelve slices at random, nothing more. It is made for games and fun.

Is there a Chinese zodiac wheel?

Yes: the Chinese zodiac wheel has the twelve animals, with the years of each one.

Is this wheel of names free?

Yes. It is free to use, funded by advertising, with no account and no app to install.
