It is believed that the concept of the zodiac had evolved from Babylonian astronomy, and was later influenced by Hellenistic astronomy. Signs of the Zodiac or astrological signs represent twelve equal segments or divisions of the zodiac.

According to astrology, celestial phenomena reflect or govern human activity. The twelve astrological signs are suppose to represent twelve basic personality types or characteristic types of expression. A person has sun signs and moon signs, both of which depend on your date of birth.

In Indian astrology, the twelve signs are associated with constellations. However in Chinese astrology and Western Astrology there is no connection with constellations.

In Western and Asian astrology, the emphasis is on space, and the movement of the Sun, Moon and planets in the sky through each of the zodiac signs.

In Chinese astrology, the emphasis is on time, with the zodiac operating on cycles of years, months, and hours of the day.

Signs of the Zodiac

A common feature of all three traditions however, is the significance of the ascendant or rising sign, namely the zodiac sign that is rising (due to the rotation of the earth) on the eastern horizon at the moment of a person’s birth.

During ancient times, people monitored the passage of the sun because it was useful in predicting the change of seasons. Over time, however, people have begun to associate the zodiac sign, or Sun’s position in the zodiac, with birth dates and characteristics.
