It is a belief in astrology that a person’s personality can be predicted using their sign of the zodiac. A person’s particular sign of the zodiac is the one that the sun was in when they were born. In astrology, a sign of the zodiac refers to one of 12 specific constellations of the zodiac that the sun passes through. For them, astronomy and astrology were one and the same-which is definitely not the case anymore! The zodiac can be traced back to ancient civilizations, such as the ancient Greeks and Romans, who believed the position of heavenly bodies could be used to predict the future. The zodiac contains a number of constellations, and the sun (or other celestial body) is said to be “in” a constellation when it moves into the portion of the zodiac that includes that constellation.
