The concept of the zodiac and its various signs date back to the
ancient times and has been a subject of study to many. It has also been a source of
interest and inquisitiveness to millions who believe in fate. The zodiac is an imaginary
sign in the sky along which the stars Sun, Moon and planets appear to move. The zodiac is
roughly 18 degrees in width and is tilted at an angle of 33.5 degrees relative to the
equator. The Zodiac consists of the parade ground for 12 constellations as put forward by
astrologer/scientist Ptolemy way back in 150 AD in his Star Catalogue. The twelve
constellations are namely: Aries the Ram, Taurus the Bull, Gemini the
Twins, Cancer the Crab, Leo the Lion, Virgo the Virgin, Libra
the Scales (the only inanimate sign), Scorpio the Scorpion, Sagittarius the
Archer, Capricorn the Goat, Aquarius the Water Carrier and Pisces the
Fish in order of their position. These Zodiac signs are determined for an individual, by
way of one’s birth date and resolve an individual’s character, personality and
each and every way of life he follows.
So look up your sun sign now and know yourself better.
