Understanding the Signs of the Zodiac

When you hear about the signs of the zodiac, you most likely think about the sun signs. These are the most common astrological signs that people are aware of. You see them in the newspaper everyday with the daily horoscope and some people even base their dating decisions on these signs. What most are not aware of, is that there are moon signs, which are believed to rule ones personality.
Moon signs are just as important if not more important than the sun signs. There are12 signs of the Zodiac. The Capricorn sign rules birthdays between December 23rd and January 20th. Aquarius is next in the Zodiac ruling birthdays between January 20th and February 19th. Pisces rules February 20th through March 20 and Aries takes care of March 21st through April 20th. The Taurus sign rules birthdays between April 21st and May 21 while Gemini handles those born May 22nd through June 21st. Cancer rules June 22nd through July 22nd and Leo July 23rd through August 21st. Virgo is for those born between August 22nd and September 23rd and Libra is for those born in September 24th through October 23rd. Last but not least we have Scorpio and Sagittarius, Scorpio rules October 24th and November 22nd while Sagittarius rules birthday that fall between November 23rd through December 22nd.

When people talk about their Astrological signs you might hear them say “I’m a Libra”, but what that really means is that they were born when the sun was in Libra. The signs of the zodiac really have two sides. One where the sun was at your time of birth and one where the moon was at your time of birth. Sun signs can tell a great deal about a person, giving you and inside scoop so to speak on what make the person tick. You can learn if you and another one are compatible by checking both your signs of the zodiac. Some people will only date people of certain signs, trying to make sure that they are as close to a perfect match as possible.

The sun sign is mainly how people see us. Is represents us as a whole person where as the moon signs are more in-depth and show our inner feelings and emotions. Moon signs play a huge roll in a person’s personality. The moon goes through the signs of the zodiac in a twenty eight day cycle where the sun and many other planets take much longer. On average the moon spends two to two and a half days in each sign where Pluto can take as long as twenty four years. Based on the cycles of the planets, it is fairly easy to see how the moon plays an important part in the astrological signs. Take for instance a woman with a moon sign of Gemini, she is said to be an attractive woman who is talkative. She is most likely a great multitasker and great at organizing but not in her home environment. Her sun sign would tell her what is going on in her life where her moon signs tell about her.

The signs of the zodiac are defiantly worth learning more about. It will pay to do your homework and research on the astrological signs as this will give you a better insight to people and how to handle them. Knowing the signs, both sun and moon, will help you in making decisions in your day to day life. Be careful when trusting others to give you an astrological sign reading, make sure you use a trusted person or go to the local bookstore and educate yourself to do your own readings. Most bookstores offer a wide range of books to help you learn the signs of the zodiac and most also offer books mapped out with horoscopes for months at a time.
