The night sky contains 88 constellations, did you know that? Humans have catalogued and given each one a name over the period of several thousand years. However, only 12 of them are extremely well-known and are still actively involved in modern astrological systems. The 12 constellations that represent the various months of the year are known as the zodiac signs.
Starting at the vernal equinox, one of the points where the ecliptic and celestial equator connect, each of these takes up a sector of sky that makes up 30 of the ecliptic. Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are the signs in that sequence in the horoscope. The dates for each zodiac sign are listed below. Your zodiac sign is determined by whether your birthdate falls inside one of those dates.
Granted, astrology is now known to be an old myth that attempted to link patterns in celestial movements to things that happen on Earth. However, given their ignorance of astronomy, human psychology, and the reality that Earth was not the center of the cosmos, such patterns were vital for ancient humans.

What was there prior to Sagittarius?
Although decans and decanates have lost their utility, each sign can be divided into three 10 sector groups called decans. The first decanate, which is regulated by the sign ruler, is thought to be the most strongly of its own nature. The planet controlling the following sign in the same triplicity sub-rules the following decanate. The following decanate sub-rules the previous one in the same triplicity of order.
While a sign can be defined by its element and modality alone, they can also be grouped to show its meaning. The group of personal signs is made up of the first four signs: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer. The group of interpersonal signs is made up of the following four signs: Leo, Virgo, Libra, and Scorpio. Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are the final four zodiac signs, making up the group of transpersonal signs.
The main elements of the tropical zodiac, which are included in the RASA School of Astrology’s curriculum, were provided by Dane Rudhyar. In contrast to the sidereal zodiac, the tropical zodiac is the zodiac of seasonal influences (constellation factors). The main seasonal characteristics are determined by the varying ratio of daylight to nighttime throughout the year. The first consideration is whether the selected time comes during the part of the year when daylight hours increase or decrease. The second consideration is whether the selected time occurs in the half of the year with more daylight than night or the other way around. The third component, determined by the first two criteria, is which of the four seasons the selected period falls in. Thus
- Winter is a time of year when the amount of daylight is growing and the amount of darkness is increasing.
- In the spring, the amount of daylight increases and outweighs the amount of darkness.
- In the summer, when the amount of daylight exceeds the amount of darkness, darkness increases.
- In the autumn, the amount of darkness increases and outweighs the amount of brightness.
Which 12 zodiac signs are there?
Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are the 12 zodiac signs, listed in order. Greek texts from the Middle Ages have a symbol for each sign of the zodiac. Let’s examine the zodiac signs, constellations, and characteristics in more detail.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
The constellation of the ram serves as a representation for Aries, the first of the twelve zodiac signs. You are viewed as being active, ambitious, and competitive if you were born under this sign. The “fire” element is to blame for Aries’ predisposition to be impetuous and direct as well as their quickness and leadership abilities.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
The constellation Taurus symbolizes Taurus, the second of the Zodiac’s twelve signs. You are seen as being dedicated, dependable, focused, and creative if you were born under this sign. Tauruses are renowned for their wit, dependability, and stubbornness (the sign is a bull, after all). Taurus people enjoy seeking pleasure and have a tendency to challenge authority.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
The constellation Gemini, which features Castor and Pollux, the Dioscurithe twins, serves as the symbol for Gemini, the third of the Zodiac’s twelve signs. You are seen as being enthusiastic, expressive, intellectual, and playful if you were born under this sign. Although they have a reputation for being contradictory, Gemini are recognized for their extroverted personalities and wide range of interests.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
The constellation Cancer, which is most frequently pictured as a crab, is the zodiac sign for Cancer, the fourth of the twelve signs. If you were born under this sign, you are regarded as being brave, sympathetic, caring, and perceptive. Cancers are renowned for their ability to provide care and for having a propensity for being remote and passive-aggressive.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
The constellation of the lion serves as the symbol for Leo, the fifth of the Zodiac’s twelve signs. If you were born under this sign, people would describe you as fiery, lively, and outgoing. Leos are renowned for their warmth and high self-esteem, although they can occasionally be arrogant or envious.
Virgo (August 23-September 22)
The maiden constellation serves as the symbol for Virgo, the sixth of the Zodiac’s twelve signs. You are seen as being practical, analytical, and sophisticated if you were born under this sign. Virgos are renowned for their thoughtfulness and attention to detail, but they can also have a propensity for shyness and unreasonably high expectations for both themselves and their loved ones.
Libra (September 23-October 22)
The lone inanimate constellation, the scales, stands in for Libra, the seventh of the Zodiac’s twelve signs. If you were born under this sign, people view you as diplomatic, fair-minded, and balanced. Although Libras are renowned for their generosity and amiability, they can occasionally be overly practical and insecure.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21)
Scorpio is the eighth of the Zodiac’s twelve signs and is symbolized by the scorpion constellation. If you were born under this sign, people view you as dependable, resourceful, and determined. Scorpios are renowned for their courage and pioneering spirit, yet they may also come off as prickly and distant to outsiders.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
The ninth of the Zodiac’s twelve signs, Sagittarius, is symbolized by the constellation of the Archer. If you were born under this sign, you are regarded as cheerful, self-reliant, and intelligent. Sagittariuses are renowned for being charming and giving, although they can occasionally have a propensity to be haughty and overly direct.
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Tenth among the zodiac’s twelve signs, Capricorn is symbolized by the sea goat constellation. If you were born under this sign, you are regarded as patient, diligent, and disciplined. Although Capricorns are renowned for their persistence and preference for boundaries and norms, they may occasionally be obstinate and overly perfectionistic.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
The constellation known as the “water carrier” represents Aquarius, the eleventh of the zodiac’s twelve signs. If you were born under this sign, people admire your creativity, loyalty, and originality. Although Aquarius people are recognized for their originality and rebellious spirit, they can also have a propensity to be unyielding and distant with their loved ones.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
The last of the Zodiac’s twelve signs, Pisces, is symbolized by the fishes constellation. You are regarded as intuitive, creative, and sympathetic if you were born under this sign. Although Pisces are renowned for their empathy and artistic talent, they can occasionally be too sensitive or delusional.

Capricorn or Sagittarius comes first?
Sagittarius and Capricorn are fundamentally two very distinct people who don’t share the same goals in life. While Capricorn is focused on the present, Sagittarius loves to travel, experience new things, and live in the moment.
These two will need to figure out how to meet in the middle if they are to remain together. Sagittarius needs to be willing to be around long enough to give Capricorn security, and Capricorn needs to learn to trust that Sagittarius will always return.
Sagittarius and Capricorn are ultimately an unlucky zodiac couple. They are both independent signs, so as time goes on they can find that they are growing apart rather than together. Thankfully, no zodiac match is doomed to fail. Some relationships simply require a bit more work than others, and this one will undoubtedly face its fair share of difficulties.
Who ought Sagittarius to wed?
As fire signs (Sagittarius, Aries, and Leo) have the same emotional language, they are typically the most compatible signs for Sagittarius friendships and romantic partnerships. Gemini, Aquarius, and Libra, who are all Air signs, share a similar vitality and wit.
What is the soul mate of a Sagittarius?
Sagittarius zodiac signs are best compatible with air and fire signs if they were born between November 22 and December 21. Zodiac signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are soul partners that cognitively challenge Sagittarius in areas of passion and love.
Whom ought an Aries to wed?
Generally speaking, Libra (occasionally opposites attract), Sagittarius, and Leo are the signs that Aries are most compatible with for both friendship and love (fellow fire signs will speak their same passionate language).
