What’s your zodiac sign?

Astrology! Do you ever read your horoscope?

Which sign of the zodiac were you born under/in?

Astrology correlates the positions and movements of celestial bodies, such as planets and stars, at the time of a person’s birth with events on Earth, including human personality and natural phenomena.

It is based on the idea that the positions of these celestial objects at the time of a person’s birth can influence their character, behavior, and destiny.

Astrology typically involves dividing the sky into twelve sections or “houses,” each associated with a zodiac sign (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, etc.), and the positions of celestial bodies within these houses are thought to influence a person’s life.
