Zodiac

The Zodiac refers to an imaginary belt in the sky, divided into twelve equal parts, each associated with a specific constellation and a corresponding astrological sign. The signs of the Zodiac, in order, are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. These signs are traditionally believed to influence an individual’s personality, behavior, and destiny based on their birth date.

The Zodiac is used in astrology, which suggests that the positions of the sun, moon, and stars at the time of a person’s birth can affect their life and character. Each sign is associated with specific traits and qualities, as well as elemental associations such as fire, earth, air, and water.

The concept of the Zodiac has ancient origins, with its roots in Babylonian astronomy and later adopted by Greek astrology. While it enjoys popularity in contemporary culture for horoscopes and personality analysis, it is considered a pseudoscience by the scientific community. The term “Zodiac” itself originates from the Greek word “zōidiakos,” which means “circle of animals,” reflecting the animal symbols associated with many of the signs.
