What is the zodiac’s third sign?
Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac in astrology, and it governs the time period from May 21 to June 21. It is symbolized as a pair of twins (or in Egyptian astrology by a pair of goats and in Arabian astrology by a pair of peacocks). In addition to their identification as Castor and Pollux, the twins have also been attributed to other celebrated pairings, such as the younger and elder Horus or Romulus and Remus.
What is the zodiac sign hierarchy?
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are the 12 zodiac signs in order. Each zodiac sign has a symbol that dates back to Middle Ages Greek manuscripts. Let’s look at the zodiac symbols, constellations, and qualities in more detail.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The ram is the constellation that represents Aries, the first of the twelve zodiac signs. You are adventurous, active, ambitious, and competitive if you were born under this sign. Aries are recognized for their agility and leadership abilities, as well as a tendency to be impetuous and blunt (due to the “fire” aspect).
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Taurus is the second of the twelve zodiac signs, and the constellation Taurus represents it. You are dedicated, dependable, focused, and creative if you were born under this sign. Tauruses are noted for their intelligence, trustworthiness, and stubbornness (the sign is a bull, after all). Tauruses are notorious for questioning authority and seeking pleasure.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The constellation Gemini, which is made up of the Dioscurithe twins, Castor and Pollux, represents Gemini, the third of the twelve zodiac signs. You are active, expressive, intellectual, and playful if you were born under this sign. Geminis are recognized for their gregarious personalities and diverse interests, yet they have a (probably undeserved) reputation for being duplicitous.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The constellation Cancer, which is most typically pictured as a crab, represents Cancer, the fourth of the twelve zodiac signs. If you were born under this sign, you are brave, empathetic, protective, and perceptive. Cancers are noted for their tendency to be remote and passive-aggressive, as well as their caring nature.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
The lion is the constellation that represents Leo, the fifth of the twelve zodiac signs. You are vivacious, extroverted, and fiery if you were born under this sign. Leos are recognized for their warm personalities and great self-esteem, although they can be proud or jealous at times.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The virgin is the constellation that represents Virgo, the sixth of the twelve zodiac signs. You are practical, analytical, and sophisticated if you were born under this sign. Virgos are recognized for their generosity and meticulous attention to detail, yet they may also be introverted and have unrealistic expectations for themselves and their loved ones.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
The scales, the only inanimate constellation, represents Libra, the seventh of the twelve zodiac signs. You are thought to be balanced, social, and diplomatic if you were born under this sign. Libras are recognized for their selflessness and camaraderie, although they can be overly pragmatic and insecure at times.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio is the eighth of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the scorpion constellation. You are loyal, resourceful, and dedicated if you were born under this sign. Scorpios are recognized for their boldness and pioneering spirit, but they may be abrasive and walled off to strangers.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
The archer is the constellation that represents Sagittarius, the ninth of the twelve zodiac signs. If you were born under this sign, you are cheerful, self-reliant, and intellectual. Sagittariuses are noted for their magnetic qualities and generosity, yet they can also be arrogant and direct.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Capricorn is the tenth of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the sea goat constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are patient, hardworking, and disciplined. Capricorns are recognized for their tenacity and fondness for boundaries and regulations, but they may be stubborn and too concerned with perfection.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
Aquarius is the eleventh of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the water carrier constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are thought to be creative, loyal, and unique. Aquariuses are recognized for their rebellious temperament and ingenuity, but they can be aloof and unyielding with loved ones.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Pisces is the last of the twelve zodiac signs, and it is symbolized by the fishes constellation. You are intuitive, artistic, and sympathetic if you were born under this sign. Pisces are famed for their empathy and artistic abilities, yet they can also be overly sensitive or delusional.
What are the 12 signs of the zodiac?
The zodiac is a belt-shaped section of the sky that stretches approximately 8 degrees north or south of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year (as measured in celestial latitude). The Moon’s and visible planets’ courses are all within the zodiac belt.
The zodiac is divided into twelve signs in Western astrology, and formerly astronomy: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign occupies 30 degrees of celestial longitude and roughly corresponds to the star constellations: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn
These astrological signs make up a celestial coordinate system, or more specifically, an ecliptic coordinate system, in which the ecliptic serves as the origin of latitude and the vernal equinox serves as the origin of longitude.
What is the name of the fourth zodiac sign?
Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac in astrology, and it governs the time period from June 22 to July 22. Its resemblance to a crab (or lobster or crayfish) in Greek mythology is linked to the crab that pinched Heracles as he was fighting the Lernaean monster. Heracles’ nemesis, Hera, repaid the crab for being crushed by Heracles by placing it in the skies.
What is the fifth sign of the zodiac?
In astrology, Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac, and it rules the time period from July 23 to August 22. Its depiction as a lion is commonly associated with Heracles’ slaying of the Nemean lion (Hercules).

Is there any truth to the zodiac signs?
Is astrology accurate? Reading horoscopes is a popular pastime, but is there any scientific evidence that they are accurate?
When you’re enticed by a familiar interruption and your willpower weakens, problems can occur.
Every day, up to 70 million Americans consult their horoscopes. At least, that’s what the American Federation of Astrologers claims. According to a Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life poll conducted twenty years ago, 25% of Americans believe that the positions of the stars and planets have an impact on our daily life. In 2012, the General Social Survey indicated that 34% of Americans think astrology is “extremely” or “kind of scientific,” with the percentage of individuals who think astrology is “not at all scientific” dropping from two-thirds to about half.
Astrology is the concept that astronomical phenomena, such as the stars over your head when you were born or the fact that Mercury is retrograde, have the potential to influence our daily lives and personality traits. Of course, this is distinct from astronomy, which is the scientific study of celestial objects, space, and the physics of the cosmos.
A particular facet of astrology, the foretelling of a person’s future or the provision of daily counsel via horoscopes, is gaining in popularity. The Cut, for example, recorded a 150 percent rise in horoscope page views in 2017 compared to 2016.
Clearly, a lot of people are trying to figure out how to read the stars for guidance. Understanding the positions of the stars is the foundation of astrology, which appears to be a scientific discipline in and of itself. Is there any scientific evidence that astrology has an impact on our personalities and lives?
But, since I still have five minutes of this six-minute podcast to fill, let’s take a look at how astrology has been put to the test.
Aries, who should you marry?
Aries’ compatibility with three star signs naturally soars: Gemini, Leo, and Sagittarius. These matches are more likely to result in long-lasting, happy, and passionate partnerships.
Aries and Gemini
The first star sign that is highly compatible with Aries is Gemini. When Aries and Gemini get together, their bond is based on camaraderie, intellectual chemistry, and a never-ending desire to have fun. When the shared attributes that they like in each other go out of hand… like impatience or stubbornness… it’s critical for an Aries and Gemini couple to keep each other in check.
The good news is that Gemini’s boundless energy complements Aries’ daring attitude perfectly! An Aries-Gemini relationship can be kept on track by remaining active, channeling their energy into good causes, and pacing themselves rather than suffocating at the first sign of trouble.
Aries and Leo
Because Leo and Aries are both fire signs, it’s no surprise that the combination of their fiery passion and high-achieving personalities is a winning combination. These two fearless individuals form an even more fearless partnership, balancing a diverse set of responsibilities and hobbies that feed their insatiable appetite for physical and mental stimulation.
It’s typical to witness Aries-Leo couples supporting each other’s independence in this maelstrom of activity. However, because both star signs crave attention, it’s crucial to work together to celebrate each other’s particular triumphs rather than competing. A Leo-Aries partnership can be one for the ages if they support each other and are patient with one other’s fumbling attempts to convey emotions.
Aries and Sagittarius
Last but not least, Sagittarius and Aries, two birds of a feather. Because of their innate independence, drive to explore, and spunkiness, Aries and Sagittarius can create a rapid bond. These two accept each other’s need for independence, and they have a fascinating connection that stems from both partners’ insatiable need for new information and ideas.
However, a Sag and Aries couple must keep an eye on their tempers and work together to combat their shared inclination to disregard the implications of their actions before rushing into situations. These two Fire signs have a warm rapport and are confident in love when they are at their best.
While an Aries can get along with these signs, their interactions with them may require more effort.
What is the total number of zodiac signs?
Each of the zodiac’s 12 astrological signs is said to occupy 1/12 (or 30) of its vast circle. These symbols no longer match to the astrological constellations where the Sun can be found.
