Astrology Zodiac Signs: Dates and Personality Traits

Whether you are a beginner or an expert, you can use our astrology charts to make sense of your life.

One of the things that I admire about astrology is that it can help you to uncover your purpose in life. Zodiac signs are not only markers along the road of time, but they also tell us about our personality and how we interact with others.

The zodiac is an ancient system that divides the sky into 12 signs. Each sign represents a period of time when the sun is in that position in the sky.

Zodiac signs are an astrological system of knowing someone’s personality based on the date they were born. Each sun sign represents different qualities and attributes that people born on a specific day can relate to. Your Sun sign describes how you perceive the world, and your Moon sign describes your inner self.

In this guide, I will give you the unique characteristics of each sign so that you can better understand your personality.

What is Astrology?

Western astrology, one of many traditions of astrology, focuses on making personalized predictions about human affairs and coinciding terrestrial events.

Western astrology tells the story of the heavens through their position at the time of an individual’s birth. It describes personality traits and aspects of life situations that are affected by the positions of the planets and stars at birth, as well as events linked to the transits of these celestial bodies.

As the planets move around the sun they create corresponding aspects and characteristics in our own daily experiences. Astrology is a language of symbolism, and through it you can learn to look beyond the obvious and discover a wealth of insights that apply directly to your own life. It is a language for understanding ourselves on a profound level.

Western astrology is one of the oldest and most respected forms of forecasting and guidance used in many cultures around the world—including ours.

Based on a precise mathematical formula, it’s the only system that calculates accurate birth charts for everyone born in any country worldwide. Western astrologers have divined the trends that are shaping your life from day to day, year to year, decade to decade.

Astrology has been dated to at least the 2nd millennium BCE, and has its roots in calendrical systems used to predict seasonal shifts and to interpret celestial cycles as signs of divine communications.

Many cultures have attached importance to astronomical events, and some—such as the Indians, Chinese, and the Maya—developed elaborate systems for predicting terrestrial events from celestial observations.
