The zodiac is a belt-shaped area of the sky that stretches roughly 8 degrees north or south (as measured in celestial latitude) of the ecliptic, the Sun’s apparent passage across the celestial sphere throughout the year. The belt of the zodiac contains the paths of the Moon and the visible planets.
The zodiac in Western astrology and earlier astronomy is split into twelve signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign occupies 30 of celestial longitude and generally corresponds to a star constellation.
These astrological signs are used to create an ecliptic coordinate system, which uses the vernal equinox position of the Sun as the origin of longitude and the ecliptic as the origin of latitude.

Zodiac signsare they true?
Astrology: Is it true? Although reading horoscopes is a well-liked past time, is there any scientific evidence that it has any significance?
When you are lured by a familiar interruption and your willpower wanes, problems may result.
Up to 70 million Americans consult their horoscopes every day. At least that is what the American Federation of Astrologers claims. A Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life research conducted twenty years ago found that 25% of Americans thought that the positions of the stars and planets had an impact on our daily life. According to the General Social Survey from 2012, 34% of Americans asked think astrology is “extremely” or “kind of” scientific. The percentage of those who think astrology is “not at all scientific” has decreased from two-thirds to roughly one-half.
The concept that astronomical phenomena, such as the stars above when you were born or the fact that Mercury is in retrograde, have the ability to affect the daily happenings in our lives and our personality traits is commonly referred to as astrology. The study of astronomy, which is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the mechanics of the cosmos, is obviously very different from this.
An element of astrology in particular that is gaining popularity is the ability to predict one’s future or provide advise on daily actions through horoscopes. Horoscope pages had 150 percent more visits in 2017 than in 2016, according to publications like The Cut.
It’s obvious that many individuals are looking for methods of star interpretation. Understanding the locations of the stars, the basis of astrology, seems to be a sufficiently scientific endeavor. But can science support the idea that astrology has an impact on our personalities and our lives?
But since I have you for the remaining five minutes of this six-minute-or-so podcast, let’s examine the precise methods by which astrology has been put to the test.
What is the element I was born in?
There are 12 astrological signs in tropical Western astrology. Each of the four elements has three zodiacal signs that are always exactly 120 degrees apart along the ecliptic and are said to be in trine with one another. The four classical elements, also known as triplicities, are used often by the majority of modern astrologers and are still considered to be a crucial component of astrological chart interpretation.
Aries, the first sign, which is a Fire sign, is followed by Taurus, an Earth sign, followed by Gemini, an Air sign, and then Cancer, a Water sign. The final and twelfth astrological sign, Pisces, marks the end of this cycle, which continues twice more. According to Marcus Manilius, the twelve astrological signs are each ruled by one of the following elements:
- 1 Aries, 5 Leo, and 9 Sagittarius warm, dry, and fervent
- Earth is heavy, chilly, and dry (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn).
- Light, hot, wet Air: 3 Gemini; 7 Libra; 11 Aquarius
- Water is the element for Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.
