In Western astrology, astrological signs are the twelve 30-degree sectors that make up Earth's 360-degree orbit around the Sun. The signs enumerate from the first day of spring 🌱. They are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Each sign was named after a constellation the sun annually moved through while crossing the sky. Since then, they have shifted. Astrology is claimed to be a pseudoscience ˈsuːdəʊsaɪəns/, /ˈsjuːdəʊsaɪəns/. But a huge number of people believe in it. For them, the stars in the sky are more than just twinkling lights. They are silent guardians of the human story and map out personalities through the zodiac signs. These signs can help explain why people are unique. Some are brave leaders, and others are good friends. They also reveal personality traits, strengths, weaknesses, and compatibility with other signs. To tell the truth, I am not good at this (can't even memorise all the 12 names 🤨). Neither do I believe in astrology. However, some of the typical traits of a few signs have turned out to be exactly what their description says. And what's your attitude?
Western astrology, astrological signs are the twelve 30-degree sectors that make up Earth's 360-degree orbit around the Sun. The signs enumerate from the first day of spring, known as the First Point of Aries, which is the vernal equinox. The astrological signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. The Western zodiac originated in Babylonian astrology, and was later influenced by the Hellenistic culture. Each sign was named after a constellation the sun annually moved through while crossing the sky. This observation is emphasized in the simplified and popular sun sign astrology. Over the centuries, Western astrology's zodiacal divisions have shifted out of alignment with the constellations they were named after by axial precession of the Earth while Hindu astrology measurements correct for this shifting. Astrology (i.e. a system of omina based on celestial appearances) was developed in Chinese and Tibetan cultures as well but these astrologies are not based upon the zodiac but deal with the whole sky.
