SGNIFICANCE AND LIMITATIONS OF ZODIAC SIGNS

SIGNIFICANCE OR IMPORTANCE OF THE ZODIAC SIGNS

Astrologers assign every planet (which in astrology includes the Sun and Moon) with a particular sign, depending on where that planet appears on the ecliptic at the time for which the horoscope is cast. Each planet represents basic human drives, and each sign represents a set of human characteristics. When astrologers designate a person as a certain sign—a Gemini or a Scorpio, for example—they are referring to the person’s Sun sign, meaning the sign that the Sun occupied at the time of the person’s birth.

The horoscope also is divided into twelve houses, which make up the 24-hour period during which the Earth rotates once on its axis. Each house deals with certain areas of a person’s life, such as marriage, health, work, travel, and death. Astrologers make predictions by interpreting the position of astronomical bodies within the signs and houses of the horoscope.

Traditional customs and religions around the world recognize years with special cultural or religious significance. Chinese custom assigns a particular zodiac sign to every year in a 12-year cycle. The Roman Catholic Church declares Holy Years (Jubilee) at special intervals.
