zodiac signs
According to astrology, a zodiac sign is one of the twelve divisions of the planetary belt that the Sun, Moon, and planets travel through. According to a person’s birthdate, each zodiac sign is associated with a particular time of year and is said to have an impact on their personality, behavior, and life events. The elements—Fire, Earth, Air, and Water—define the general characteristics of each of the zodiac’s twelve signs. Additionally, each sign of the zodiac has a modality (Cardinal, Fixed, or Mutable) that represents their response to change.
