What are zodiac signs?

Zodiac signs are the twelve constellations found in the sky that represent different zones of the celestial system. In today’s world we take a zodiac sign to mean the sign under which you are born. If you were born during specific dates at the end of January to the end of February you would be considered to be the zodiac sign Aquarius. Different months have different constellations attached to them. Zodiac signs have a very long and diverse history ranging from astrology to astronomy.

How do zodiac signs fit in with astrology?

There are twelve constellations across the sky that are said to represent twelve different personas. Constellations are groups of stars that resemble a shape. Each of these star clusters is given a name such as the constellation Leo. Interpreters of the constellations that read the zodiac sign are called astrologers. The astrologer takes the position of the stars at a person’s birth and assigns them a zodiac sign. The zodiac sign is said to govern how the person will act, think and how things will happen to them over the course of their lifetime.
