Given zodiac signs: a bit of history
It is important to take into account the fact that sometimes in the horoscope predictions are made by talking about the "movement" of the stars, while the Earth is moving. It seems that the stars do it, because our planet rotates on its axis and orbits the Sun. The peoples of Mesopotamia, in addition to observing the viscera of animals, for their predictions, looked at the planets to know the celestial position of the deities . For the peasants of ancient Egypt, the stars served as a calendar and they believed that Sirius, the star of the Dog, heralded the flooding of the Nile in mid-July. The Egyptians united the groups of stars into constellations. With the Greeks we have the 12 signs of the horoscope. Here are the zodiac signs and dates in Western astrology.

There are 12 signs that make up the Zodiac, corresponding to the twelve constellations. The zodiac signs can be divided according to the natural element that characterizes them. There are the signs of Fire, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, fiery, self-centered, passionate, dominating and exuberant. They are passionate and sentimental in love relationships, they know how to amaze their loved one, they love family and the company of friends. Then those of Earth, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn, practical, very determined and effective, never illogical or not very rational, concrete; they anticipate everything, they do not rely on fate and improvisation. The zodiac signs are also divided into Cardinal signs, with which the seasons begin (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn), into Fixed signs present when the seasons reach their maximum point (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius) and those that they participate in the changing of the seasons and share the sense of change in every aspect (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces). Beyond these 12 signs we have a thirteenth sign, the Ofiucus, from 29 November to 17 December, therefore between the sign of Scorpio and that of Sagittarius. Those born in this period are jealous, curious and endowed with a heated passion. The constellation of Ophiuchus has as its symbol a man holding a snake in his hand.
According to astrology, each individual is linked to both his zodiac sign and his ascendant, as the personality is conditioned by astral influence. The date of birth is used to tell you what your zodiac sign is. To know your ascendant, it is also necessary to know the time and place of birth. Your zodiac sign is determined by the position of the Sun at the time of your coming into the world. The natives of a sign assume its characteristics in a more or less relevant way, strengths and weaknesses depending on the degree of evolution of each one. For example, if you belong to the sign of Libra it means that at the time you were born the Sun was in Libra. The Sun in Astrology is a fundamental element, it represents reality, authority, creativity and determination.
