Birthday Bot

Zodiac signs and roles

On this page

Zodiac roles and custom zodiac emojis are Premium features. Choose a role for each sign on the Birthdays page, then let members claim it or turn on automatic assignment.

Open your server dashboard

On the website

  1. Choose your server, open Birthdays, and find Zodiac.
  2. Under Signs, press a sign's role picker and choose its Discord role. The card shows the dates that belong to that sign.
  3. Optionally press the sign's emoji picker to choose an emoji for messages.
  4. Turn on Auto-assign roles if you want Birthday Bot to give out missing zodiac roles automatically.
  5. Press Save changes.

What success looks like

The page says Changes saved. Each sign shows the role and emoji you chose, and eligible members receive the role that matches their birthday.

When do members get their roles?

With Auto-assign roles on, the bot checks for missing zodiac roles periodically and hands out a few per check, so a large server takes a while to catch up. It can also give the role when a member sets their birthday in Discord. Existing members who do not want to wait can claim their role themselves using the command below.

Claiming does not require automatic assignment to be on. The member must have a birthday visible in this server, must not be blacklisted, and must not already hold one of the server's configured zodiac roles.

What does the emoji change?

The emoji is used by zodiac placeholders in custom messages. Without a custom emoji, the bot uses the sign's default. See Placeholders for the available tokens and Customize your messages for adding them.

Common problems

  • A member cannot claim a role. Ask the member to confirm they have set their birthday for this server. Check that the matching sign has a role selected. Members can review their own sharing choices in Your privacy.
  • The member already has a different zodiac role. Automatic assignment and claiming both skip members who hold any configured zodiac role. Ask server staff to remove the old role before trying again.
  • The bot cannot give the selected role. Follow the role's warning on the website and check its permissions.
  • The controls are locked. Check Birthday Bot Premium, or Premium is not active if you have already paid.

Using Discord instead

Members can claim their zodiac role, and server staff can choose or clear roles and emojis for each sign:
