Astrologers place the earth at the center of the solar system and so all heavenly bodies revolve around the earth rather than the sun. astrologers use this arrangement to determine the positions of the heavenly bodies in relation to the earth. They believe the study of the positions of the heavenly bodies can reveal a person’s character and future.
The zodiac is a band of stars that appears to encircle the earth. It consists of 12 equal parts called signs, which include Aries(the Ram), Taurus(the Bull), Gemini(the Twins), Cancer(the Crab), Leo(the Lion), Virgo(the Virgin), Libra(the Balance), Scorpio(the Scorpion), Sagittarius(the Archer), Capricorn(the Goat), Aquarius(the Water-Bearer), and Pisces(the Fishes). Each sign of the zodiac represents a set of human characteristics, which are determined by a particular planet and other factors. Astrologers beleve that a person comes under the special influence of a particular sign, depending on the date of the person’s birth. For example, a person born from July 23 to August 23 has Leo as a zodiac sign and is often called “a Leo”. Since each zodiac sign has certain characteristics, a Leo is supposed to be a person full of cheer and pride.
