What is a Zodiac Sign?

A Zodiac Sign (or Sun Sign) is determined by the position of the sun at the time of your birth. In Western Astrology, there are 12 signs, each representing a 30-degree sector of the ecliptic. Your sign is believed to influence your core personality, ego, and basic traits. Each sign belongs to one of the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water.

Elements and Qualities

Signs are classified by Element (Fire for passion, Earth for stability, Air for intellect, Water for emotion) and Quality (Cardinal for initiation, Fixed for persistence, Mutable for adaptability). Together, these define the unique 'vibe' of each sign.
