All About Astrology: What Are Signs? – Blog

Signs are imaginary markings, like meridians, that divide the Earth in relation to celestial space into twelve equal parts. Many people believe that the signs are constellations, when in fact these famous constellations were used by ancient people to demarcate these meridians in the zodiac.

These spaces are activated by the action of the planets, which transit through these twelve meridians, the Signs of the Zodiac. The most well-known sign is the Sun sign – that is, if you are a Taurus, the Sun was in the sign of Taurus at the time of your birth. See how simple it is?

The houses, in turn, are fixed markings that correspond to the Zodiac (there are 12 houses for 12 signs, and each house is related to a sign: the 1st house talks about identity, beginning and initiative, so it is the house of Aries, and so on), but they can form more acute or obtuse angles depending on the time when the analyzed person was born. The signs have exactly 30 degrees of space each. But let’s talk again later.

If you are still wondering what signs are, remember that in Astrology they are the 12 of the zodiac: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Each of them has its characteristics and at a given date has a greater influence on Earth.
