Western Astrology — The Twelve Signs of the Zodiac
Born under Babylonian skies and refined by the Greeks: the sun sign horoscope the whole world reads daily.
Western astrology divides the sun's yearly path into twelve signs, from Aries to Pisces. Your sun sign — where the sun stood at your birth — is the headline of a fuller chart that also places the moon and planets in twelve houses of life.
From newspaper columns to dating apps, the twelve signs remain the world's most widely shared divination language, a two-thousand-year-old system still generating daily conversation.
