Astrological Signs

Astrological Signs are equal segments or division of the ecliptic, usually associated with the twelve signs of the Zodiac. There are "sun" signs and "moon" signs, which both depend on your date of birth. Various approaches to measuring and dividing the sky are currently used by differing systems of astrology. Western Astrology measures from Equinox and Solstice points. In Indian astrology, the twelve signs are associated with constellations. 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.
