What is Zodiac? - Your zodiac sign explained

The word "zodiac" literally means "circle of life". If you could observe the motion of the Sun against the stars for an entire year, it would appear to trace out a large circle in the sky that we call the "ecliptic". This circle also happens to be the Earth's orbit around the Sun. The zodiac is also known as a thin band of the sky on either side of the ecliptic. Most Zodiac Signs are animals or people.

Sun Sign is made up of 12 zodiac sign and your date of birth determines which sun sign you are. Your Zodiac Sign can give us great insights from day to day living as well as the many talents and special qualities we posses.

“When a person says, "I'm an Aries!", what they're really saying is they were born at a time of the year when the Sun is in the zodiac sign of Aries. Because our calendar is designed to mimic the motions of the Sun around the zodiac, hence the 12 sun signs are like months of a calendar based on the zodiac.”

Your Zodiac Sign is said to determine your personality traits and you can discover a great deal of relevant information about yourself through reading about your sun sign of the zodiac.

"Sun Signs" or "Your Stars", popular in magazines and newspapers since the 1930's are a basic form of Astrology that only uses the position of the Sun in your Birth Chart (Horoscope) to glimpse your character and coming events. Hence this is known as "Sun Sign" Astrology.
