Sun Sign Astrology
Sun sign astrology, or star sign astrology, is a modern simplified system of Western astrology which considers only the position of the Sun at birth, which is said to be placed within one of the twelve zodiac signs, rather than the positions of the sun and the other six 'planets'. This sign is then called the '' sun sign'' or '' star sign'' of the person born in that twelfth-part of the year. Sun sign astrologers take this basic twelve-fold division and relate all the current movements of all the planets to each other, using traditional rules to divine meanings for each sign separately. Because the Moon has the fastest apparent movement of all the heavenly bodies, it is often used as the main indicator of daily trends for sun sign astrology forecasts. Each Sun sign is composed of 30 degrees (0-29), which make up the circle, so people born near the end of a sign may need to mathematically re-calculate their chart. Sun sign astrology is a pseudoscience and the form of astrology mo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
