Zodiac Signs: Explore Each Sign Meanings and Characteristics

All About Zodiac Signs

The Zodiac sign is the division of the ecliptic circle into 12 equal parts, which means each zodiac sign is made of 30 degrees. The projection of the Sun and Moon in these signs at the time of your birth is the deciding factor for your zodiac sign.

For example, if you were born between March 21 and April 20, you belong to the Aries Sun Sign. People born with specific zodiac signs possess different characteristic traits, strengths, weaknesses, and talents. Moreover, each sign also exhibits the personality of its element, which are as follows: Air, Water, Fire, and Earth. Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are Air Signs. Water Signs are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. Fire element signs consist of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. Earth signs are made of Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn.
