Your horoscope sign depends on when you were born. Your date of birth decides what your horoscope sign is. In astrology, there are twelve horoscope signs that are derived from constellations in the sky. Your zodiac sign is based on the constellation in which the Sun was, at the time of your birth. Every sign has a symbol, an element (fire, earth, water or air) and is ruled by a planet (one planet rules not more than two signs). Cancer (ruled by the moon) and Leo (ruled by the Sun) are the only two signs that are not<\/i> ruled by a planet. The meaning of a horoscope sign is hidden in the three associations it has – its symbol, its ruling planet, and its element.<\/p>\n

Let’s take Aries for example. A ram symbolizing this sign, is an animal known for its surefootedness and aggressive behavior. These are traits associated with an Aries personality. Take the ruling planet Mars (appears red) and the element fire (symbolic of heat and rage). Put them together and you will get the Aries personality trait of being short-tempered and headstrong. The same applies to any horoscope sign. Take its symbol, ruling planet and element, think of the characteristics these are associated with. That should give you an idea of that sign’s personality. Here we describe each horoscope sign in brief. See which one you belong to and find out how you are!<\/p>\n

This was something about what horoscope signs mean. However, understand that horoscope signs broadly categorize personalities into twelve classes. You cannot have all the traits of your sign or be exactly like what your horoscope sign suggests. It is only a broad classification. Your zodiac sign is not the only determinant of your personality.<\/p>\n
