What Is Astrology?

Astrology is the study of the influence that distant cosmic objects, usually stars and planets, have on human lives. The position of the sun, stars, moon and planets at the time of people's birth (not their conception) is said to shape their personality, affect their romantic relationships and predict their economic fortunes, among other divinations.

The Meaning of the Sun Sign in Astrology

Your sun sign describes your basic nature and the personality traits that remain constant through the ups and downs of life.  It is the image you shine out to the world, but it comes from that truest, innermost part of you and downs of life. The sun, which is actually a star, is at the center of the Solar System, and likewise, your sun sign describes your unique personal center.

FAQs

What Is My Sun Sign?

The answer to which Sun sign you are is not complicated. Your Sun sign is always determined by your date of birth. As a general rule, the signs are divided up as this: Aries: Spring equinox (21 March) to 19 April Taurus: 20 April to 20 May Gemini: 21…But if you are born on the edge of these date ranges you will have to look to the exact time you were born to chart the position of the sun at that time. 

What Is a "Rising Sign"?

Your Rising sign is the constellation that was on the eastern horizon at the exact moment and location where you were born. This is an important aspect of astrology as that sign becomes the first house which sets up the entire house system. Because the rising sign changes every 2 hours it is important to have an accurate birthtime.
