Astrological signs are a beautiful way to represent the changing, cyclical patterns of energy that we all feel as we go through life. Each segment of our life has a beginning, middle, and an end. Astrological signs represent twelve equal segments of the zodiac. According to astrology, celestial phenomena reflect or govern human activity on the principle of the twelve Astrological signs, so that the signs are held to represent twelve basic personality types or characteristic modes of expression.
In Western and Indian astrology, the twelve Astrological signs are associated with constellations, while in Chinese in astrology there is no connection with constellations, as it is simply the line of the equator that is divided into twelve equal segments.
In Western and Asian Astrological signs, the emphasis is on space, and the movement of the sun, moon and planets in the sky through each of the Astrological signs. In Chinese astrology, by contrast, the emphasis is on time, with the zodiac operating on cycles of years, months, and hours of the day. A common feature of all three traditions however, is the significance of the ascendant or rising sign, namely the Astrological signs that is rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of a persons birth.
The Astrological signs affect the energies of each planet in a characteristic way when it enters each sign though due consideration will also be given to other conditions within the astrological chart such as the effect of aspects to other planets, and the house in which each planet falls. All the Astrological signs are associated with one of the classical elements and one of the three qualities or modalities. It is also associated with an area of concern personal, social, or universal.
