Zodiac Signs Meaning
There are 12 zodiac signs, and each sign has its own strengths and weaknesses, its own specific traits, desires and attitude towards life and people. Based on the analysis of the starry sky and the position of the planets at the moment of birth, astrology can give us a glimpse of a person’s basic characteristics, preferences, flaws and fears. We can really get to know people much better, if we know the basic characteristics of the zodiac signs. You can discover a great deal of relevant information about yourself through reading about your Zodiac Sign Meaning.
Zodiac Dates
When we look at our zodiac sign dates (that is, the date we were born indicating our zodiac signs and meanings) we are looking at our sun sign. Sun signs refer to the position of the sun upon the time of our birth. As you continue to study astrology, you can begin to associate these zodiac traits to your co-workers, friends and family - even strangers! Once you know the date a person is born and the zodiac signs and meanings associated with his/her birthday, you have some amazing deductive capabilities at your disposal.
Zodiac Symbols
The word Zodiac literally means animals and refers to the patterns or configurations of creatures as seen in the twinkling stars at night. After you know the order of the signs, you can learn all about the astrological icons and the symbology of astrology. The Astrologer always uses the symbol rather than writing the sign when making a chart, and one needs to know the symbols so well that they can be made almost without thought. The symbols are the alphabet of Astrology.
Zodiac Decans
If you have ever wondered why your character is not the same as others who share your Star Sign or your personality traits don’t exactly match with the supposed personality traits that your Star Sign dictates, then you should look at Decans. Each sign is divided into three decans of 10º. Birthdays of each decan are specified on each page for Zodiac Sign so you can easily check your Sun Decan. You can also apply the general decan interpretation to your Ascendant or Moon Sign using these zodiac positions: Decan 1: 0° – 10°, Decan 2: 10° – 20°, Decan 3: 20° – 30°.
Zodiac Cusp Signs
If your birthday falls near the beginning or end of a Sun Sign you were born on the cusp. Essentially you have the characteristics of two Sun Signs combined. A horoscope cusp is the term we use to describe a person born in the middle of two adjacent astrological signs.
Zodiac Constellations
Its annual way through the sky the Sun and the Moon make a certain path. And for a year they pass through 12 constellations, which were called constellations of the signs of the zodiac. With a dozen constellations of the zodiac signs in the sky, many myths and legends are associated. Initially, using the zodiacal constellations, dates were noted, using it as a calendar. The passage of the Sun by one sign of the zodiac was about a month. Today, the beginning of entering the new zodiac sign has shifted — it falls on the first days of the third trimester of the month. This happened because the equinox (spring) point is gradually shifting — by about 1 in 70 years.
