You probably know your Sun sign if you’re even the slightest bit interested in astrology. Your primary zodiac sign is the one you identify with most often when someone asks what your sign is. It is decided by your birthday. You’re a Leo, a Cancer, or an Aquarius, for example.
You might also be aware that the Sun sign is only one part of your birth chart. Every planet in the sky has a sign, including a sign for the Moon, a sign for Mercury, a sign for Saturn, and more points (like your Rising sign, determined by which sign was on the horizon when you were born).
There are 12 zodiac signs, and astrologers classify them in various ways. There are signs for fire, water, earth, and air, and each sign corresponds to one of these elements. If you are, for example, a Pisces, you can claim that you are a water sign. However, if you look at your entire birth chart, you can argue that even though your Sun sign is a water sign, you also have many planets in earth signs like Taurus and Virgo.
The signs are divided into three categories in astrology: fixed, changeable, and cardinal. Modalities are what they are. Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn are the four cardinal signs. The changeable signs are Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces, whereas the fixed signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. Check out your Sun sign. What mode does it use? View your whole birth chart. Do you have a significant number of planets in cardinal, fixed, or changeable signs?

What do my four star signs mean?
The zodiac signs of the four elements
- Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are Fire Signs.
- Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are Earth Signs.
- Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are Air Signs.
- Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces are water signs.
The main three zodiac signs are:
Most likely, some of your pals use astrological slang, such as “I’m such a Virgo” or “I could never date a Scorpio. But what does that actually imply? Astrology, or the study of planets and other celestial bodies to understand events that occur on Earth, was often seen as quackery. However, thanks to a new generation of astrologers who are giving it a more feminist, psychological bent, it is currently experiencing a revival. How then do you begin studying astrology? What are the most crucial details to comprehend regarding the Zodiac? The so-called “big three” your sun sign, moon sign, and rising sign are a terrific place to start.
Before we go any further, let’s go back and discuss something called your natal chart, or simply your chart. The heavens as they appeared at the time of your birth are captured in your natal chart. Everything in the sky was in a specific position when you slid naked and slimy out of your mother’s womb. These positions are said to have an impact on your personality, passions, strengths, and limitations. It’s not so much that the planets affected you when you were born, according to contemporary astrology. It’s not as if you were struck by gamma rays of magic. As above, so below is how the universe is perceived holistically in astrology. Everything is interconnected in a web of connections and affinities, according to astrology. When you consider it from a spiritual perspective, it is actually rather lovely.
Twelve sectors make up the sky map that is your natal chart. (When you start to take into account something called housing, it’s actually divided into two sets of twelve, but we’ll get to that in a minute.) The sun, moon, and eight planets (aside from Earth) all belong to a specific Zodiac sign, and each section of the sky represents one of the signs. For instance, if the sun was in Capricorn when you were born, Capricorn would be your solar sign.
My Stellium: what is it?
Not simply where the sun rises and sets, but also the positions of all the planets in the sky at the time of your birth, may be determined by mapping your natal chart.
Stelliums are when three or more planets are concentrated in a single zodiac sign or house of someone’s chart, according to the twins. In the summer of 2020, for instance, “kids will have a stellium in Capricorn, since Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto are all in Capricorn,” they continue. Having Mars, Mercury, and Saturn all in the fifth house is another illustration (which relates to romance, love, and creativity).
Additionally, a person’s chart may occasionally contain many stelliums (i.e., three planets in Sag and three in the eighth house).
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.

Who is a rising Scorpio?
Strong, turbulent emotions are generally kept hidden by the Scorpio rising person. If this describes you, people find you enigmatic and secretive; to them, you appear to purposefully turn on the charm. On a birth chart, the ascendant of someone with this zodiac sign is present.
