When people inquire about your zodiac sign, they usually mean your Sun sign. And, to be honest, everyone knows what their Sun sign is. It’s easy to check it up now that we have the Internet, and at the very least, everyone has been intrigued about what the stars have to say about them. Some people completely identify with their Sun sign, while others find it completely incomprehensible.
There are a number possible explanations, including your Moon sign and Ascendant, which I’ll discuss later. Even if you don’t exactly relate to the attributes of that zodiac sign, from the perspective of the sky, you will find patterns that correlate due to planetary motions at any given moment, thus I always urge people to read for the Sun sign in daily/monthly/yearly horoscopes.
Your Sun sign is determined by your birthday. If you were born on a day when the Sun changed signs, you may need to consult a personal natal chart because you may be one sign over the other. Because you can’t have two Sun signs, cusps don’t exist (despite pop culture magazines’ best efforts; Karen, stop trying to make them a thing!).

Do you have all of the signs in your horoscope?
So, you’re undoubtedly aware of your Sun sign, as well as your Moon and Rising signs. Even if you don’t have any planets in your birth chart, you have every single zodiac sign.
Please bear with me: Your birth chart, which includes all 12 zodiac signs, is essentially a picture of the universe at the time you were born. Your Sun sign is the zodiac sign in which the Sun was when you were born. Every other planet, from Mercury to Pluto, is the same. Look at the sign each planet is in when reading your birth chart to learn more about the area of your life that planet governs. If your Mercury sign, which regulates communication, is in freewheeling Sagittarius, you may still have a tendency to tell it like it is or even put your foot in your mouth, even if you have a cautious Scorpio Sun.
Aries
Aries is born with the ability to lead. After all, it is the zodiac’s first sign. This sign is noted for being brave, forthright, and competitive to an unhealthy degree. Aries, on the other hand, is a warm, caring, and trusting sign. Aries has a short fuse but never holds grudges.
Taurus
Taurus is a functional and affluent sign. This earth sign is intelligent and practical, but also enjoys the finer things in life. Taurus places a high importance on safety and security and is not hesitant to put in long hours. Another thing about Taurus is that it is a very obstinate zodiac sign.
Gemini
Gemini receives a lot of criticism, although it’s generally unjustified. This air sign is humorous, outgoing, fun, and adaptable, earning it the nickname “two-faced” (in reality, they’re just social butterflies who can match the enthusiasm of the group they’re in!). Communication is a strong suit for Gemini.
Cancer
Cancer is the zodiac’s first water sign, and it is empathetic, loving, and compassionate. This placement brings emotional intelligence and intuition. Cancer is a natural homebody, as symbolized by the crab, which carries its residence on its back.
Leo
Leo thrives in the limelight! Outgoing, playful, warm, and loyal, the fire sign is a good match for you. This zodiac sign is born to be a protector and leader. Although Leo has a bit of an ego, everyone loves this type of enthusiasm, therefore it’s well-deserved!
Virgo
Virgo energy is organized, practical, diligent, and analytical…but not dull! This earth sign is reserved at times, yet it is also faithful, honest, dedicated, supportive, and kind. As an earth sign, Virgo is also sensual, or sensual in the sense of being in touch with one’s senses.
Libra
Libra is all about balance, as represented by the scales. With a love for justice and fairness, this placement is diplomatic, peaceful, and adaptive. Libra is ruled by Venus and is associated with beauty and love.
Scorpio
Scorpio is a fiery sign associated with sex, death, and the occult. This is a strong, resilient, and restrained energy. Scorpio is an insightful and emotional water sign. Those feelings are sometimes veiled under a more guarded, threatening faade.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius is the sign of travel and philosophy, thus whomever has planets in this sign will have a lot of pleasure. This type of energy is also known for being direct, daring, spontaneous, and even a little flaky.
Capricorn
Capricorn is the zodiac’s chief executive officer. This zodiac sign is regarded for being powerful, hardworking, practical, and ambitious. It is concerned with respect, status, and safety. Cap, like fellow earth sign Virgo, is an earth sign with a sensuous component to it.
Aquarius
Aquarius is an air sign, not a water sign, and as such, it is cerebral, lively, and intelligent. This energy is bold, open-minded, charitable, and a little strange (or a lot eccentric). This symbol is frequently associated with science, technology, and humanitarianism.
Pisces
Pisces, the zodiac’s final sign, is a wise old soul. This water sign is recognized for its intuition, emotion, creativity, and dreamy outlook. Pisces is frequently associated with spirituality and compassion for others.
What is the meaning of your horoscope?
A natal chart (also known as a birth chart) is an astronomical image of the stars based on the precise date, time, and location of your birth. We compute the location of each planet, as well as the sign of the zodiac and house it was in at the time of your birth, using NASA data.
What are the signs of the moon?
Your moon sign is the zodiac sign in which the moon was at the time of your birth. It’s the soul of your identity, the hidden part of yourself that you may keep hidden from others (unlike your outwardly appearing sun sign), and it accounts for a significant portion of your emotional side.
What is it about water that attracts fire signs?
She argues that water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are traditionally associated with earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn) because water nurtures the earth. Because air feeds fire, air signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius) and fire signs (Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius) go together. “Signs in the same element (earth, water, air, or fire) also make the most harmonic angles to each other, known as ‘trines,’ which are 120 degrees apart,” she continues.
