Understanding the Zodiac
The zodiac is a belt of the heavens divided into twelve equal sections, each named after a constellation. Your zodiac sign — also called your Sun sign — is determined by the position of the Sun at the time of your birth. Each sign has distinct personality traits, strengths, weaknesses, and compatibility patterns.
The twelve signs are grouped by element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water) and modality (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable). Understanding these groupings reveals deeper patterns in personality and compatibility. Fire signs are passionate and energetic, Earth signs are grounded and practical, Air signs are intellectual and communicative, and Water signs are intuitive and emotional.
