The 12 Zodiac Signs and Why You Should Learn Astrology (Part One)

You decide to sit outside to relax and clear your mind and you see thousands of stars across the sky. You ponder about how the planets and stars affect our lives from millions of miles away. The study of how these massive entities affect our lives and our future is called astrology. Astrology is thousands of years old and is one of the oldest sciences in the world. Astrology is ingrained in many cultures around the world, including China, India, and the ancient Mayan civilization. Astrology is the study and analysis of the projection of the position of various planets, the moon, and the sun at the time of birth. If you line up the position of the planets, moon, and the sun with your date of birth, you will discover your zodiac sign.

What is a Zodiac sign?

A zodiac sign informs you about your strengths and weaknesses. You will discover your personality traits, likes, and dislikes. I would advise you to learn about your zodiac sign, because through your zodiac sign you can learn more about yourself. If you thoroughly study your zodiac sign, then you can find weaknesses that you have and improve yourself. Not only can you improve yourself, but you can improve your relationships whether it is a romantic, friendship, or family relationship. You can ask for their date of birth then match the birth date with the corresponding zodiac sign. This will open a world of information to you about the person. You will learn about their personality traits, strengths, and weaknesses, and this will give you the tools that you need to have a positive relationship with them.

Just as there are 12 months in a year, there are 12 zodiac signs. Here is a list of 12 zodiac signs and what they determine about your personality.

Aries

If you were born on or between March 21 – April 19, then you fall under the zodiac sign of Aries. Aries falls under the element of fire. The color associated with Aries is red.

The combination of strengths that Aries have make them excellent candidates to be leaders.

Even though Aries has leadership qualities that doesn’t mean that they don’t have flaws. Aries are often short-tempered, impatient, and if you don’t agree with them or don’t finish a task to meet their standard, they can become aggressive.
