Note that the order of signs by month and date varies and that the first sign does not start in January. The explanations for this are simple. Look:

Why do the dates of the signs change?

Every year, the day and time a sign starts changes — and ends too! That’s because it depends on the movement that the Sun makes in the sky. Let’s take an example:

In 2021, the Sun reached the 0 degree of Virgo at 6:34 pm on August 22nd. The following year, the Sun returned to the same degree of the sign of Virgo on a different day and time: at 00:16 on 08/23. That is, the Sun took 365 days, 5 hours and 42 minutes to return to the sign of Virgo between the years 2021 and 2022.

This means, for example, that two people who were born on the same day can indeed have different sun signs. Let’s go to another example:

In 2021, the Sun entered Capricorn at 12:59 pm on December 21st. This means that those born before this time on that day have Sun in Sagittarius. And those born after that time have Sun in Capricorn. Click on the images below and see the difference in the maps of two people who were born in the same city on December 21, 2021. One was born at 11:57 am, so he is a Sagittarius. Finally, the second was born at 9:30 pm and has the Sun in Capricorn.

The meanings of the order of the signs

The astrologer and numerologist Yub Miranda explains that the order of the signs (from Aries to Pisces) is, above all, also a journey of evolution. Understand:

ARIES it is birth, therefore it marks the beginning of a person’s personality cycle. A person needs to eat to have a body and sustain himself. In this way, it happens in BULL. The person needs to move around and start interacting, venting their curiosity and communicating. So this happens in TWINS. Afterwards, it is necessary to try to digest the emotions felt in this interaction. Thus, if you reach the stage CANCER. So it’s important to expose yourself and define your self in LION. In VIRGIN, the project will improve this identity and, likewise, prove to be useful in everyday life. With that, it is time to sign commitments in LB. The relationship will demand trust and dedication so that one can share values, fears and vulnerabilities in SCORPION. This process can be colored by crises that culminate in a greater purpose to finally expand into SAGITTARIUS. In CAPRICORN, now is the ideal time to leave a legacy. In AQUARIUM, the person contributes socially and ultimately finds higher ideals. Until you can reach the end of the cycle in FISHtherefore receiving the Karma or Dharma of what he sowed in this journey.

Aries to Pisces journey in your Chart

This entire journey is on your Astral Map. This means, in short, that you have all 12 signs in your Chart! See the example below so you can recognize this journey in your personality:

The example above is of a person who was born on May 10, 1985, at 9:30 pm, in Porto Alegre. Notice that this person’s map mandala is divided into 12 numbered parts. These are the 12 astrological houses. Each has very different meanings because they represent areas of life. Each house is separated by a dark line. This line is the cusp. In other words, it is the beginning of a house. Therefore, the sign that is on a house cusp represents that area of ​​life stems from the characteristics of that sign. In the example above, the person has the 1st house starting in Capricorn, the 2nd house starting in Aries. Further on, the 5th house begins in Taurus, where it has the Sun. And finally, this person’s chart ends in Sagittarius (12th house).

Are signs and constellations the same thing?

Ancient scholars of the sky began to analyze the movement of the Sun from the Vernal Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere, which is when winter ends and a new phase of growth begins. This happened around the 5th century BC.

At that time, many groups dedicated themselves to the study and observation of the sky. Some of these groups believed that the planets influenced people’s lives.

One of them was the Greek astronomer Hipparchus. Around the year 134 BC, he was inspired by the constellations to divide the sky into 12 equal parts, each of which was 30 degrees.

Astrologer Alexey Dodsworth, author of Astral Map, explains this division: “Imagine that a circular band is projected from the Earth and divided into twelve equal sectors. These are what astrologically call zodiac signs. For Astrology, the signs are geometric”.

These scholars, finally, were inspired by the constellations to name the 12 signs. It is important, however, that you know that signs and constellations are different things. Understand:

Constellations: they are clusters of stars, they vary in size and move very slowly across the sky. In short, they only served as a reference for the names and order of the signs.

Zodiacal signs: are arbitrary divisions into 12 equal parts and do not change.

Why do signs start in Aries?

the astrologer Sofia Vaz explains that Western Astrology is based on the relationship between the Sun and the Earth, always from a geocentric point of view. That is, the one who observes the sky from the Earth.

The relationship between Sun and Earth is what creates the seasons. Thus, if we project the Equator Line (which divides the Earth into northern and southern hemispheres) into space, it will cross the Ecliptic (the apparent path that the sun takes) at two points.

These points mark the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes. The other two points at which they are farther apart are the Solstices – hence the definition of the beginning of the four seasons of the year.

The Equinox that occurs in March was taken as the zero degree of the zodiac and therefore marks the beginning of Spring in the northern hemisphere, the beginning of the first zodiacal sign and the Astrological New Year.

“Aries announces that Winter (a period of scarcity) is behind us, it is when the Sun begins to symbolically “overcome the darkness”, gaining strength until its peak in Summer. Much of the symbology of Aries comes from this relationship with the beginning of spring: ‘life’ winning over ‘death’”, points out Sofia.
