Zodiac signs, also known as astrological signs, are a set of twelve celestial divisions or segments in astrology that represent specific periods of the year based on the position of the Sun at the time of a person's birth. Each zodiac sign corresponds to a specific period and is associated with certain personality traits, characteristics, and patterns that are believed to influence one's behavior, emotions, and destiny.
The twelve zodiac signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign is typically represented by a symbol or glyph, often related to its corresponding element (fire, earth, air, or water) and ruling planet.
Astrologers interpret zodiac signs as individual archetypes or energetic patterns that shape an individual's personality and life experiences. They believe that the Sun's placement in a specific zodiac sign at birth influences a person's core identity, values, and outlook on life. Additionally, zodiac signs are believed to influence compatibility between individuals and can be utilized for relationship analysis and forecasting.
The study and understanding of zodiac signs fall under the practice of astrology, an ancient discipline that seeks to analyze and predict events and traits based on celestial movements. While zodiac signs have been a prominent part of many cultures for centuries, their influence and significance vary among different individuals and belief systems.
