The zodiac sign is a term used in astrology to describe the positions and movements of celestial bodies in relation to the Earth. The Western zodiac, which is the most commonly used, consists of twelve 30-degree sectors that make up Earths 360-degree orbit around the Sun. Each sector is named after a constellation the sun annually moved through while crossing the sky, and these are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. The zodiac signs no longer correspond to the astronomical constellations in which the Sun actually appears, as the constellations are irregular in size and shape, and the Sun regularly passes through one constellation (Ophiuchus) that is not considered a member of the zodiac.
Each of the twelve zodiac signs has its own strengths and weaknesses, specific traits, desires, and attitude towards life and people. The four elements - air signs, fire signs, water signs, earth signs - all work together to create a comprehensive whole, which shows up in your life as your unique personality traits. The twelve zodiac signs are:
- Aries (March 21 - April 19)
- Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
- Gemini (May 21- June 21)
- Cancer (June 22- July 22)
- Leo (July 23 – August 22)
- Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
- Libra (September 23 – October 22)
- Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
- Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
- Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
- Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
- Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
To determine which zodiac sign you belong to, you need to know your birth date.
