Astrology [Greek meaning: Science of the Stars] studies the influence of stars on human behavior, traits, and experiences.

Since the earliest times people have divided the Zodiac[1] into 12 equal parts, called Houses. These Houses are known as the 12 signs of the Zodiac. The 12 signs are then divided into two groups; 6 being masculine[2], and 6 being feminine[2]. People with a masculine sign are known to be straightforward and energetic. People with a feminine sign are known to be self-contained and have inner reserves.

Masculine: Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius.

Feminine: Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Pisces

Although the Sun and the Moon are actually luminaries, in astrology, they are known as planets. The Sun provides us with warmth, energy, and gives us vitality. Spending approximately one month in each sign throughout each year, its dominant influence has the most penetrating control over our horoscopes.

The position that the Sun was in when we were born rules our personality, and how we go about[3] everyday life. It determines our many characteristics and how others may perceive us. Of course, the Moon and the other planets have their constant effects on us, too. This keeps us forever evolving[4] and experiencing new insight in our lives.
