What are the 12 Zodiac Signs

Are you a mushy Cancerian, an intellectual Aquarian, a Strong Scorpion or a balanced Libran? Astrology is an intriguing field for sure! Zodiac signs are also a fun way to know personality traits of different people. The Zodiac denotes an annual cycle of twelve stations along the ecliptic, which is the apparent path of the sun across the heavens through the constellations that divide the ecliptic into twelve equal zones of celestial longitude. The zodiac of twelve signs was first developed by the Babylonian astronomers and is recognized as the first known celestial coordinate system.

Zodiac signs are also used to calculate the astrological compatibility between the different signs. Although many people believe in sun sign compatibility, there are others who believe in moon signs and a large number of people who like to study horoscopes to predict the success in work or even in relationships! To each his own - as far as I am concerned I believe that when work is concerned no astrological prediction can change your success if you work hard towards your goal with a positive frame of mind and faith in your abilities!
