Zodiac horoscope has a huge impact on a person’s life, the characteristics of his character and the building of relationships with the outside world. Each of the zodiac signs endows its owner with certain personal qualities, both positive and negative. In this article we have collected interesting characteristics astrologers who will help you understand which zodiac sign is the best in a particular area of ​​life.

Ophiuchus is the only “unofficially recognized” sign of the Zodiac and is therefore the rarest. In the sky, the location of this constellation is the area in the middle of the constellation Sagittarius and Scorpio.

The active period of the sign is the period of time from November 27 to December 17. In fact, during this period of time the “action” of Sagittarius continues, therefore it is believed that Ophiuchus has a certain cosmic power.

According to astrologers, all Ophiuchus are people called to fulfill a unique mission. In most cases, their life should be successful, happy, filled with various bright and interesting events.

The calmest sign of the zodiac

In this place there are representatives of the sign Taurus, who by nature are not inclined to get involved in conflict situations, preferring to solve problems peacefully, plus they are distinguished by their goodwill, love for people and the entire world around them.

The most powerful zodiac sign

Important planets responsible for their own self-expression and manifestation in the world are the Sun and Mars. Therefore, in order to talk about which zodiac sign is the most powerful, you need to know in which constellation the indicated planets will give a person more confidence in their own abilities.

Excellent indicators of the Sun when located in the constellations Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, which means that self-expression will be easy for such individuals.

Mars also feels great in the constellations of the element of fire (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius), plus Scorpio (which has strong energy) and Capricorn (characterized by perseverance and clarity).

Therefore, it turns out that the most powerful signs of the Zodiac are Aries, Leo and Scorpio with Capricorn.

The most faithful zodiac sign

Here the leaders are Taurus and Virgo. Taurus are simply too lazy to waste their precious energy on cheating, plus such people tend to become attached to their partner.

Virgos love to support their family, and even when the relationship has already exhausted itself, Virgo will continue to maintain them, since she does not want to be alone.

If we study the statistics, we will find that representatives of the earth element are least likely to cheat (they easily become attached to a loved one and have a hard time accepting new things), as opposed to air signs, for whom everything happens the other way around.

The most beautiful zodiac sign

The greatest external attractiveness and charm are inherent in the “human” signs of the Zodiac, that is, Gemini, Virgo and Aquarius.

But besides this, appearance depends on the state of the planets in the natal horoscope, the first house (or Ascendant), which is very important.

But still, which zodiac constellation girls are the most beautiful? Having good looks usually means harmonious combination Total natal horoscope. The human element will play a huge role here.

• for example, the element of Water adds plumpness to the image (plump lips) with big eyes;
• air element - will add several centimeters of height and reward its owner with refined facial features;
• earth signs, on the contrary, are short in stature and square shape faces, stockiness;
• The fire element gives its representatives an extraordinary appearance and endows them with large and sharp facial features.

The sexiest zodiac sign

There is an opinion that Scorpio is the sexiest constellation. In reality, this opinion is somewhat erroneous, since for Scorpio, having sex is a way of getting rid of excess accumulated energy and receiving pleasure. Despite this, the representative of this constellation deservedly ranks 1st in terms of sexuality among men.

As for women, here, of course, the palm belongs to Taurus. Taurus is distinguished by sensuality (after all, it is patronized by the planet). Such people are used to enjoying everything they do and sex plays a huge role for them.

The most jealous zodiac sign

Here, as in the previous case, Scorpio comes in first place, because it is he who is distinguished by the highest degree of jealousy, which doubles when the Moon is in a similar sign. Representatives of this constellation are characterized by increased jealousy, show distrust of others and try to find dirty tricks everywhere. They also love to take away the personal belongings of their significant other (for example, her phone), they strive to find the very essence of information there.

Scorpios often believe that their chosen one is their personal property. But, it should be noted that not all people of this sign fit this description; of course, there are exceptions to the rules. Also, if Scorpio directs all his enormous energy in another direction, then his character will become softer and he will get rid of pathological jealousy.

The kindest sign of the zodiac

According to astrologers, each of the zodiac constellations has its own, both positive and negative sides, and each zodiac sign is kind in its own way. For example, Pisces will always be able to express their sympathy to you, Libra will be able to listen to your complaints, Leos will be able to support and encourage you, and Aries will be able to push you to take decisive action.

But still, the palm in this category belongs to two signs - Taurus and Libra. Representatives of these zodiac constellations evoke sympathy among others due to their gentleness and attractiveness, because their lives are influenced by the planet of love. Therefore, it is not difficult for Libra to win over those around them; they always try to look their best and it is unlikely that they will be able to ignore your requests.

Of course, we must not forget about Aries - the most sacrificial sign of the Zodiac. Yes, he is not a fan of sentimentality, but he will always provide real help if necessary.

The most evil sign of the Zodiac

Anger is a very flexible concept that differs markedly for representatives of different zodiac signs. For example, vulnerable Pisces and Cancers think that anger is when people raise their voices and shout. At the same time, signs of the element of Fire may not even pay any attention to such attacks. But for Pisces, Cancers and Libra, this will greatly spoil the mood. Therefore, if we talk about anger in such a context, then Scorpios, Aries and Leos fall into the category of the most “evil” ones, because their lives are completely controlled by fiery luminaries.

The craziest zodiac sign

Uranus is the patron of everything original and non-standard, and Aquarius falls into the category of the craziest signs of the Zodiac! The patron saint of Aquarius is, after all, Uranus, and the people of this constellation are distinguished by originality and non-standard thinking. Aquarians like to communicate, they are crazy about change and constantly generate new ideas that may seem strange and even crazy to many.

The richest sign of the zodiac

Turning to the statistics of Forbes magazine, we will see that Leos occupy the first place in the list of the wealthiest people. Next come the constellations Gemini, Aquarius, Aries, Libra, Taurus and Pisces.

In general, according to these statistics, the real picture becomes visible, because Leo strives to live a royal life, to occupy a high position in society, he does not like to work for someone else. These desires stimulate him to open his own business.

The most harmful sign of the Zodiac

Geminis often lie and can get out of any, even very difficult, life situation. And Aquarians are accustomed to putting their interests above the interests of other people.

Scorpio is deservedly in third place in the list of the most harmful signs of the Zodiac. Often such individuals are characterized by isolation, causticity, they suffer from bad mood and the desire to sting someone.

It is very important that Scorpio is taught love and compassion from childhood, then he can turn into a good and devoted friend.

The luckiest sign of the Zodiac

Which zodiac sign is luckier than others? Here, without much thought, we can name Gemini, who have the ability to get to the right places at the right time. Plus, such people are distinguished by their ease of rise and activity, complemented by excellent intelligence, which all together helps to predict future events and turn them to their advantage.

To complete the topic, watch this interesting video:

If you have felt at least once in your life that you are unable to resist the influence of some person and at the same time he did not have any authority, then most likely you have encountered your so-called “master sign”, who, regardless of your desires can suppress you as a person. To prevent you from falling for the astrological bait and becoming a hostage to your “dominant sign,” ELLE has compiled a list of zodiac couples that cannot be called harmonious and that are best avoided.

Capricorn is dependent on Leo

It's hard to imagine more diametrically opposed signs, but despite this, Capricorn submits to Leo, a sign whose qualities, such as love for praise and special attention to the approval of others, he usually ridicules. The only thing that can “save” Capricorn in this union is living together. When he sees Leo in a domestic setting, he will immediately take off pink glasses and will understand who he really contacted.

Aquarius is dependent on Virgo

Although in ordinary life Aquarius first of all thinks about his own convenience; in a relationship with Virgo, he forgets about himself and begins to follow the lead of the most pragmatic sign of the Zodiac - doing household chores and making lists of necessary purchases. In addition, we must not forget that Virgos are excellent psychologists and can easily find the key to almost any sign. Although there is a high probability that after some time Aquarius will still get tired of living according to a clear schedule and will start setting again own desires in priority.

Pisces is addicted to Libra

Since Libra usually finds it extremely difficult to make decisions, in this union Pisces takes on this function and thereby falls into their own trap. All because in ordinary life, phlegmatic and not always self-confident Pisces suddenly begin to feel their importance and necessity.

Aries is addicted to Scorpio

In this union, Aries experiences a lot of unpleasant emotions, since when trying to completely win the attention of Scorpio, in most cases it fails. Moreover, in this case, the well-known proverb “the less we love a woman, the more she likes us” comes into play - as soon as Scorpio tries to break out from under the total control of Aries, he begins to achieve his goal with redoubled force.

Taurus is dependent on Sagittarius

Sagittarius is able to deprive Taurus of sleep and peace for a long time. This is because Sagittarius will immediately begin to encourage the conservative Taurus to set new goals and objectives that require immediate solutions. But the problem is that the slow Taurus experiences any changes in life extremely hard and, looking at a more energetic partner, begins to delve into himself and become depressed about his inadequacy.

Gemini is addicted to Capricorn

Gemini admires Capricorns' ability to systematically move towards a goal, always be collected and make long-term plans. Wanting to make their life more orderly, they fall under the charm of Capricorn and try to adopt their character. But usually this only lowers their self-esteem and makes them even more unhappy, since it is difficult for Geminis to cope with their craving for change.

Cancer is dependent on Aquarius

In relationships, Cancer does not like uncertainty and understatement, and Aquarius, in turn, is a master of silence real reasons their actions and bad mood. Therefore, it is not surprising that in this union Cancer is constantly tormented, while his partner, on the contrary, feels extremely harmonious. Considering that most Cancers cannot be called selfish, this can be a real godsend for narcissistic Aquarians.

Leo is dependent on Pisces

It is quite difficult to get Pisces out of their melancholy state, therefore, despite all the actions of Leo, who, as you know, strives to be the best in everything and expects constant confirmation of this fact from those around him, it will be extremely difficult for him to get along with unemotional Pisces. Moreover, with a high probability, Pisces will also begin to tease their partner, noting his imperfections, which will generally be extremely difficult for Leo to survive.

Virgo is dependent on Aries

By nature, Virgo is perhaps the most non-conflict sign of the Zodiac. And as soon as Aries realizes that he will get away with almost anything, he will sit on his partner’s neck with great pleasure. Unfortunately for Virgo, due to her modesty, she is unlikely to be able to turn this situation in her favor.

Libra is addicted to Taurus

Despite the fact that these signs are very similar in their attitude to material values ​​and outlook on life, living together is completely contraindicated for them. This is because Taurus will always want something other than what Libra will offer them. And considering that it is already quite difficult for Libra to make a choice in favor of one thing, in this situation they will have to constantly offer alternative options, and this will drive them crazy.

Scorpio is dependent on Gemini

Scorpio loves intrigue and puzzles, and, as you know, Gemini is one of the most mysterious signs of the Zodiac. In addition, another important point is the fact that Gemini can intrigue non-stop, without even expending additional energy on it. And, as a result, in this union, Scorpios will never be able to find answers to all their questions, which will hurt their pride and they will become increasingly immersed in the labyrinth of these relationships.

Sagittarius is addicted to Cancer

Despite the fact that homely Cancer suppresses Sagittarius, who is not used to thinking about everyday issues, their union can be quite harmonious. Especially considering that Cancers love to once again teach others how to cook borscht and run a household, and Sagittarius is not against learning about something new. On the other hand, in such couples there is a danger that Sagittarius will still feel unfulfilled due to the constant need to step on the throat of his own song and deprive himself of the opportunity to spend time conquering the world rather than solving everyday problems.

Everyone has their own zodiac sign...

Thousands of people are born on earth who have similar character traits, motives of action and behavioral stereotypes. Astrologers explain this similarity by an indisputable fact - the date of birth, the influence of the position of the heavenly bodies on a person’s fate.

At the moment of human birth, celestial bodies occupy a certain place in relation to the Sun. The annual path of the Sun among the stars is conventionally divided into twelve equal parts, which are designated by certain symbols of the constellations close to them, called the signs of the Zodiac. Each zodiac sign has its own validity period:

Each zodiac sign is patronized by one or two planets: Aries - Mars, Taurus - Venus, Gemini - Mercury, Cancer - Moon, Leo - Sun, Virgo - Mercury, Libra - Venus, Scorpio - Mars and Pluto, Sagittarius - Jupiter, Capricorn - Saturn , Aquarius - Uranus and Saturn, Pisces - Jupiter and Neptune.

At all times, astrologers saw the universe in miniature in man. The signs of the Zodiac in Space correspond to certain organs and parts of the body: Aries - head, Taurus - neck, Gemini - arms, Cancer - chest, Leo - back, Virgo - stomach, Libra - lower back, Scorpio - genitals, Sagittarius - buttocks, thighs, Capricorn - knees, Aquarius - calves, Pisces - feet.

When studying the characteristics of people belonging to a particular zodiac sign, we must remember that a person born on one of the last three days of the period of a particular sign borrows the character traits of the next zodiac sign.

To correctly determine your zodiac sign, a person born on the first or last day of the sign period needs to know the exact time of his birth, latitude and longitude of his place of birth. Only in this case can one judge whether the Sun has already moved to another zodiac sign.

Zodiac passes through 13 constellations, but the Zodiac circle is divided into 12 equal parts, unlike the constellations. Each part is one Zodiac sign,, the name of which is given depending on the location of the corresponding zodiacal constellation in this part of the sky.

By Zodiac signs the movement of all the planets takes place. The full circle of Zodiac signs gives us 1 YEAR. The earth is in the center. The Circle of Constellations and Signs are two circles that exist independently of each other. The circle of zodiac signs is within solar system. The signs are always counted from the point of the vernal equinox, from the point of intersection of two circles - the ecliptic and the equator. Signs are generated by the interaction of two movements - the rotation of the Earth around its axis and rotation around the Sun.

Astrology Keyword 12 (twelve):

• Zodiac signs;
• Hours of day and night;
• Labors of Hercules;
• Muses of Apollo;
• Principles of reason (according to Kant);
• Categories of philosophy (Hegel);
• The Star of David has 12 angles;
• Solomon's Temple was divided into 12 parts;
• The Twelve Imams are the spiritual and political successors of the Prophet Muhammad in Shiism.
• 12 Knights of the Round Table;
• 12 peers of France (6 secular and 6 spiritual);
• Traditionally, there are 12 jurors in court.

Zodiac signs- these are areas of the sky evenly divided into 30 degree sectors in longitude. The zodiac, the beginning of which is counted from the point of the vernal equinox, is called tropical (that is, associated with the solstices - from the ancient Greek turning circle), and the zodiac, in which the coordinates of the signs approximately correspond to their zodiacal prototype constellations, is called sidereal (that is, “stellar " - from Lat. sidus - constellation, star, firmament).

Constellations lie beyond the solar system in the form of separate groups of stars. They are included in the conventional circle of the celestial sphere. The 12 constellations are traditionally called zodiacal. These are those through which the Sun passes, excluding the constellation Ophiuchus. Zodiacal constellations, zodiac, zodiac circle (from the Greek “animal”) - 12 constellations (sidereal), located along the visible annual path of the Sun among the stars - the ecliptic.

Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac. The tropical zodiac consists of 12 equal sectors of the ecliptic, each 30° long.

The point of the vernal equinox, that is, the point of intersection of the ecliptic plane with the plane of the celestial equator, lying on the celestial sphere, is chosen as the starting point for these sectors. The first sector of the ecliptic (from 0° to 30°) is called the sign of Aries, the next (from 30° to 60°) is the sign of Taurus, then in order are: Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and finally Pisces.

The circle of zodiac signs (tropical) is tied exclusively to the seasons. The Sun enters signs at different times each month. This is due to the fact that the average period of the Earth's revolution (365.256366 days) does not coincide with the calendar year (365 days + correction for leap year). This cycle only approximately repeats itself every 4 years. Therefore, those who were born on the border of signs without an exact time of birth cannot know 100% what their Zodiac is.

At the center of the zodiac circle is the Earth. The energies arriving at it from each sign of the Zodiac go to our Planet.
REFERENCE from the history of Astrology “The identification of the zodiac as a belt of the celestial sphere along which the visible path of initially the Moon, and then the Sun and planets passes, occurred in Babylon. The first mention of the allocation of the zodiac belt in written sources of Babylon

contained in a series of cuneiform tablets “Mul Apin” (Mul.Apin - constellation Plow), dating from the beginning of the 7th century BC. BC: these texts list 18 constellations on the “path of the Moon” and indicate that the Sun and five planets move along the same path, and also highlight a group of equatorial (and, accordingly, close to the ecliptic) stars. In the 7th-6th centuries BC. e. the number of divisions of the zodiac zone was doubled, that is, the zodiac was divided into 36 sections of 10 °.

Four forces

Matter in the Universe exists in 4 states:

Liquid. Solid. Plasma. Gaseous. Combinations of different particles give us 4 characteristics of the elements. Zodiac signs are divided into four elements. These are fire, air, water and earth.

Fire signs

1. Fire in astrology- this is energy, will, courage, directness, frankness, enterprise, belligerence, enthusiasm, physical activity, but not endurance; impulsiveness, harshness, rudeness, hot temper.

He knows how and loves to manage, subordinate others, and command. Fire is very beautiful, bright, strives to be beautiful and provocative. The main feature is demonstrativeness.

Air signs

2. Air – astrological symbol – intellect. Air is endowed with increased receptivity, which provides a high ability to interact based on observation.

On the internal plane – restlessness, fussiness, nervousness, increased anxiety. Air people are not capable of very strong experiences. Excitement is not destructive for them, because they quickly calm down.

Characteristics of the signs: attention, changeability, sincerity, openness, the ability to slip away and not linger. Movement occurs upward due to intellectual superiority. In a negative position - talkativeness from excessive openness.

Water signs

3. Water – the foundations of this element are emotions and feelings. They can accept colors and paints, they know how to hide only thoughts, but are frank in feelings, therefore they are often a victim of their mood, state of imagination and their subjectivity, they are extremely attentive to little things, details, and surroundings.

Excess water leads to hysteria, pettiness, and psychopathy. But water is also merciful, it knows how to calm, take care of, nurse, and nurse. She is hardworking and endowed with diligence and responsibility. Has a tendency to submit. Since Water is fluid, its feelings are not constant. Greed and jealousy can arise from a sense of ownership. The imagination of water is special. This is the basis for romanticism, subjectivism and idealism.

Earth signs

4. Earth – basis – reason. It is based on hard work and perseverance. There is also a degree of firmness and emotional stability. Conscientiousness inclines her to subordination, diligence, and rationality. The earth can lie flat and not go anywhere. Subject to analysis and doubt. This is the basis of secrecy (dryness, coldness, callousness, indifference, stinginess, pragmatism and practicality).

Properties of crosses

The elements are divided into:

• Men are active. Women are passive;

The geometric structure allows us to distinguish 3 crosses (a layer of signs and elements):

• 1. cardinal 2. fixed (more stable) 3. movable (weak fulcrum).

Cardinal cross.

This includes: Aries | Cancer | Scales | Capricorn

The main property is activity. Common features signs of the cardinal cross: action, activity, perseverance, desire, desire and ability to influence environment; hence the desire for change. Energy is directed from the center to the outside.

Negative features: selfishness, dissatisfaction, irritability. These properties are dictated by excess energy. These people love a fight, a duel. They always go towards the fight, it lights them up and gives them pleasure. Victory can be caused by movement, military action, or a challenge to a duel. But the result does not always give victory. There are other factors involved as well.

People born under cardinal signs are active, energetic and prone to change; gas, after all, also generates energy and easily spreads in all directions, almost unrestrained by gravity. Cardinal sign people create paths for others to follow and begin things that others complete. Aries natives bravely embark on daring undertakings and adventures. Cancer natives are blazing new trails in the housing and food industries. Libras become innovators in the fields of literature, art and social activities, while Capricorns become pioneers in business and industry. Signs of cardinal quality produce INNOVATORS.

Fixed cross.

This includes: Taurus | a lion | Scorpion | Aquarius

The basis of this cross is constancy. The main quality is courage. Common features: people of this cross excel in defense. The product of their efforts in the form of a positive result is endurance, patience, waiting. This man is a fortress. They endure not because of weak will and cowardice, but because of masculinity. They are characterized by constancy, perseverance, but also steadfastness in the event of an attack. They can give a brilliant rebuff (depending on the sign). They have great efficiency, reliability, and unbending will. Realization of energy depending on efforts in any area.

Negative features: self-confidence, conservatism, stubbornness, excessive pride, which is expressed in self-will and wilfulness. Also inertia, dislike of change, power, authoritarianism, despotism.

Under the signs of fixed quality, quite adamant, decisive and persistent people are born. Solids are difficult to change shape or location; in the same way, people of fixed quality are deeply attached to the familiar environment, the usual manner of performing professional duties and the usual style of thinking. They have enormous strength to resist any external pressure, are resilient and patient, are distinguished by perseverance and perseverance, and delve into details. They are not innovators or energetic developers, but when development reaches its climax, they refine details and make improvements. Signs of fixed quality give rise to IMPROPERTORS.

Movable cross.

This includes signs: Twins | Virgo | Sagittarius | Fish

The main quality is changeability. Common features: mobility, complaisance, flexibility, diplomacy, courtesy, sociability, talkativeness. These signs are endowed with flexibility of perception. This is a very valuable quality that gives them the ability to quickly adapt to change. They have the ability to find unconventional solutions. These signs don't need a fight. They are strong in originality, resourcefulness, negotiations, because they are mobile and ambivalent.

Negative features: talkativeness, narcissism, selfishness, conceit. Basically, there is a desire to talk only about yourself. The duality of these signs is based on a combination of fixity and cardinality, which results in constancy of movement.

Mutable signs are the golden mean between the crazy activity of cardinal signs and the stubborn resistance of fixed ones. Liquid cannot flow through the gap as easily as gas, but if the channel is continued for it, it will quickly flow along the line of least resistance. People born under mutable signs are rarely pioneers and innovators, but easily follow in their footsteps. Just as a liquid easily takes the shape of the vessel in which it is located, so mutable people easily adapt to new surroundings and strangers. Signs of mutable quality rarely produce pioneers and innovators. These are mainly DEVELOPERS.

History of the calendar

What are the differences between the lunar and solar calendars? Which peoples are they common among? How did leap year come about? And as in different times did you solve the problem with errors in chronology? Candidate of Historical Sciences Tatyana Gusarova talks about this.

Characteristics of the Zodiac signs based on the position of the Sun on the celestial sphere at the moment of human birth. A few thousand years ago, it was noticed that the position of the Sun in one or another astrological sign of the Zodiac has its own unique influence on the character and temperament of a person and allows one to draw accurate conclusions about a person’s abilities and capabilities. The influence of the location of the Sun in the Zodiac sign on a person’s temperament, character, abilities and outlook on life is very powerful and extremely difficult to adjust throughout life. Often astrological signs The zodiac is confused with the zodiac constellations. However, the astrological signs of the Zodiac are not constellations - they are 12 equal parts into which the ecliptic belt is divided (and there are 13 astronomical zodiac constellations, the thirteenth being the constellation Ophiuchus). It’s just that initially in astrology, the astrological signs of the Zodiac received their names from the constellations closest to them, and the ancient Babylonian astrologers simply threw out the constellation Ophiuchus for good measure (since the ecliptic was divided into 12 parts).

The signs of the zodiac are 12 sectors of 30 degrees, into which the belt on the celestial sphere is divided, along which the visible annual movement of the Sun occurs (zodiacal belt). Each such sector is one of the zodiac signs and is named in accordance with the zodiac constellations. The Sun stays in each zodiac sign for about a month and moves to another zodiac sign on the twentieth of each month. The counting of zodiac signs by month begins from the point of the vernal equinox in the direction of the movement of the Sun. By month, or rather by date, the zodiac signs are located in this belt on the celestial sphere in the following sequence: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

Not only the Sun moves along the zodiac belt, but also the planets of the solar system, which in their movement through the zodiac periodically shift north or south of the zodiac belt. This method The division of the zodiac into parts developed in the middle of the 1st millennium BC. e. in the Middle East. The names of the zodiac signs are associated with the zodiac constellations that corresponded to them at the time of the appearance of this zodiac division in astrology, although in subsequent centuries, due to the precessional shift of the earth's axis, the stars and constellations have shifted so that currently most astronomical zodiac constellations are projected onto the subsequent zodiac sign . But, because While dividing the zodiac into sectors and linking them to real zodiacal constellations is purely conventional, Western astrology works with the tropical zodiac (without taking into account the precessional displacement of the earth's axis). The starting point for the tropical zodiac is the vernal equinox. This point is the beginning of the first sign of the zodiac - the sign of Aries. The names of the zodiac constellations come from ancient Greek mythology and became widespread during the Hellenistic era. Because Most of the zodiac constellations depict living beings, this explains the very term “zodiac” - that is, “menagerie”.

Compatibility horoscope: zodiac signs in order from Aries - the most Full description, only proven theories based on astrological observations of several millennia.

In its annual movement among the stars, the Sun describes a complete circle on the celestial sphere - the ecliptic. Moving along the ecliptic, the Sun successively moves from one constellation to another. There are 12 such constellations. In the West they are called Zodiacs. "Zodiac" is translated as "circle of animals." Most of the zodiac constellations actually bear the names of animals; the rest were given symbolic names by the ancient sages. In Sanskrit the zodiac is called Rasi or Rashi.

Zodiac signs begin with Aries. Its serial number is 1. Then they go in order - 2. Taurus, 3. Gemini, 4. Cancer, 5. Leo, 6. Virgo, 7. Libra, 8. Scorpio, 9. Sagittarius, 10. Capricorn, 11. Aquarius , 12. Pisces.

Elements of the Zodiac signs

Zodiacs are divided by elements. There are 5 elements - ether, air, water, fire, earth. Ether is omnipresent, all-pervasive. Therefore it permeates all signs. Ether is ruled by Jupiter. People born under any sign have a chance to connect with God through prayer and other spiritual practices.

Each sign also shows one of the other elements. Starting from Aries, the elements are repeated in order - fire, earth, air, water, and again fire, earth, air, water, etc. It turns out that each element has three signs that make up the triangle.

Air– Gemini, Libra, Aquarius

Fire- these are managers, leaders, representatives of power, always striving for the top (like fire). They have high intelligence and know how to control matter and people. They have a strong will and courage. Able to make decisions independently and take responsibility.

Earth– practical people, intelligence developed enough to manage property and matter. They are inclined to trade, crafts, and establish various connections.

Air– the level of consciousness is sufficient to solve only gross material problems. The intellect is developed as much as is sufficient for hired labor.

Water– have highest level consciousness of the soul in the human body, inclined to know oneself and God. They have a pronounced intelligence, high moral principles and religiosity.

Characters of the action of signs

Zodiac signs also differ from each other in their nature of action. There are three of them - mobile, stable (not movable), and dual (sometimes movable, sometimes not) .

Signs starting from Aries are in order mobile, stable and dual, and this is repeated until the last 12th sign. It turns out that for each character there are 4 zodiac signs.

Movable– Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn

Stable– Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius

Dual– Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces

Movable– innovators, strive only for the future. They always change, find the best way out according to the demands of time and circumstances in order to achieve the goal.

Stability- conservatives, they don’t like to change, they can’t accept newness, and in the end everything collapses over time.

Dual– Sometimes they rush forward, showing what they are capable of, apply novelty, then calm down, accumulate strength and knowledge and wait for the right time to rush forward again.

If you noticed, from each element there is one movable sign, for example, Aries - fire, Cancer - water, Libra - air, Capricorn - earth. Also from each element there is one stable sign and one dual sign. Thus, there are no two signs that their element and character were the same.

Gender signs

There is another sign that separates the signs, this is the gender of the signs. Men's And women's. From them you can find out the nature of the sign. Male signs are rude and cruel. Female signs are soft and good-natured. Starting from Aries as male sign they alternate.

Aries is masculine, Taurus is feminine, Gemini is masculine, Cancer is feminine, Leo is masculine, etc.

From the horoscope diagram you can visually easily remember the material covered.

In what order does the Sun visit the constellations of the zodiac?

If you know that you need to start with Aries.

The order in which the Sun moves through the zodiac constellations

Over the course of a year, the Sun, moving across the celestial sphere, describes a complete circle, which is called the ecliptic. The zodiac constellations are located along this ecliptic. And the sun, making its annual revolution, visits all the signs of the zodiac, of which there are 12.

Starting from the point of the vernal equinox, which fell on the sign of Aries, the Sun begins to “visit” the constellations of the zodiac.

So, we get this order

• Aries (start with him),
• Calf,
• Gemini (this is the summer solstice point when daylight reaches its maximum),
• Cancer (before the shift, the summer solstice point fell on the sign of Cancer),
• Virgo (the point of the autumnal equinox falls on this sign),
• Scales,
• Scorpio (although it is generally accepted that the Sun spends about 1 month visiting each sign, but it takes the Sun only 6 days to move around Scorpio),
• Sagittarius,
• Capricorn,
• Aquarius,
• Fish.

Zodiac signs by month

Zodiac signs have a certain order and are distributed by date and month.

The sequence of Zodiac signs by month and date is observed every year. However, it should be remembered that in some years they may begin and end on a different date of the month. There are people who were born on transitional dates; they have the characteristics of two border signs.

Zodiac signs in the school of Western astrology are segments of a certain conventional celestial circle along which the cyclic movement of the Sun occurs throughout the year, starting from the day of the vernal equinox (March 20).

Zodiac signs in order

It is impossible to understand when the science of astrology was born. It should still be with us primitive ancestors, when the guard of the camp or the shepherd, looking at starry sky overhead, I noticed that some clusters of stars form strict geometric shapes and cross the vault of heaven without changing. The movement routes of 8 planets were also noted. Later, the ancients came up with a horoscope, distributing Zodiac signs in order and giving them names.

Today, during space flights, it is difficult to believe in horoscope predictions. Well, how can a distant neighboring planet influence fate? specific person Ivan Ivanovich? No way! On the other hand, the Moon causes ebbs and flows on Earth, it hangs far away, and the water fluctuates! We humans are 80% water. Maybe the planet we were born under changes something in us?

Let's see Zodiac signs. In order goes first Aries (March 21 - April 20). The planet of this zodiac sign is Mars. It is named after the ancient Roman god of war. The element of Aries is fire. It is clear that Aries by nature should be such lighters.

Next we have Taurus (April 21 - May 20). Taurus lives under the auspices of Venus. Also a planet with the name of the ancient Roman goddess of love and everything pleasant that is associated with this feeling. Someone whose horoscope sign is Aries should be characterized by love and high eroticism.

From May 21 to June 21, the night sky is dominated by Twins, who are under the care of the planet Mercury. These are characterized by duality of nature, some roguishness and high entrepreneurial spirit. greek god trade.

If we consider zodiac signs in order next, then the next one will be Cancer. A badge of honor for those born from June 22 to July 22. The Moon reigns in their lives, it reveals to people born under the constellation Cancer the secrets of divination, magic and witchcraft, gives them prophetic dreams and an annoying disease - sleepwalking.

Sign Leo (July 23 - August 23) in his subordinates he generates courage and bravery, which is fueled by the blazing sun.

Virgo (August 24 - September 23) favorably allows the same Mercury to take care of itself and manage its life. There is no need to explain what the guardianship of a scoundrel can lead to.

Zodiac sign Libra (September 24 - October 23) makes those born under it hesitate in life at the slightest change in circumstances. Since Venus is involved here too, in Libra’s love affairs everything is neither shaky nor shaky.

Scorpio (October 24-November 22). The most mysterious, esoteric and destructive sign of the horoscope. Mars rules its owners, but not only as a warrior, but also as a tireless lover. Scorpio men are like that, and ladies born under this zodiac sign are the erotic dream of any gentleman. They are just very loving.

From November 23 to December 21, he rules the destinies of earthlings Sagittarius in the subordination of the distant and powerful Jupiter, mysterious and gloomy. Both the highest rise and fall into the abyss can bring his patronage. And those born in Sagittarius must be wary of anything sharp: a knife, an arrow, a well-aimed word.

And finally Pisces (February 21 - March 20). Also ruled by Jupiter in combination with the water element. This symbiosis gives rise to characters that are deep, filled and rich in emotion and creativity.

Now the most important thing. Never believe horoscopes broadcast on radio and television channels, published in glossy magazines and weekly newspapers. For each person, his horoscope is a strictly individual thing, calculated right down to the minutes of birth, taking into account astronomical changes and corrections. That is, made by an astrologer of the highest category only on specific data.

Zodiac signs

Zodiac signs in the school of Western astrology are segments of a certain conventional celestial circle along which the cyclic movement of the Sun occurs throughout the year, starting from the day of the vernal equinox (March 20).

This circle is divided into 12 sectors, each 30 degrees respectively. Each such sector symbolizes a specific sign of the Zodiac, named in accordance with the zodiac constellations.

Chronologically, by month, or more precisely, by date, the signs of the Zodiac are located in this conventional circle in the following order: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

Characteristics of Zodiac signs by dates (months)

All events, past, present and future, occurring in the life of each individual person, as well as his character, preferences and behavior, are influenced by a huge number of various factors, including which signs and houses which planets were in at the time of his birth. However, the greatest influence on character, fate and behavior is exerted by which Zodiac sign the Sun was in on the day and time of birth. Its position is the main factor that determines our belonging to one or another Zodiac sign.

Each zodiac sign can be strikingly different from the other in terms of the characteristics and personal characteristics of its representatives. Although all Zodiac signs can be divided into four groups that have some similarities. These are, of course, the elements:

• Fiery is represented by Aries, Leo and Sagittarius;
• Earthy is symbolized by Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn;
• Airy ones include Gemini, Libra and Aquarius;
• Well, therefore, the remaining three signs belong to the element of water - Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

There is another division of the Zodiac signs into categories (in astrology, the so-called crosses). However, the most significant from the point of view of determining the characteristics of the signs of the Zodiac is the division by elements. Thus, fire and air signs in astrology are classified as masculine; Among their representatives, the vast majority are extroverts and optimists. On the other hand, water and earth signs are considered feminine; and among the persons who embody them, large quantity introverts and pessimists.

More specifically, in accordance with the elements, the Zodiac signs can be given the following characteristics:

Symbols of the zodiac signs in order: meaning, pictures

These days it is difficult to find a person who has not heard anything about the circle of the Zodiac. Moreover, very often people, getting to know each other, are interested in what constellation they were born under. It is no secret that when looking through horoscopes in search of an answer to a question of interest, many of us are feverishly trying to find similar character traits and trace/compare life situations. It’s as if we are trying to squeeze into the framework of a character description limited by date of birth. Does everyone know what the symbols of the zodiac signs mean?

To understand a system such as the Zodiac, you need to take a short excursion into its history. The word "zodiac" has Greek roots and is translated as "animals in a circle" (sometimes the expression "animals in a wheel" is used). This circle is divided into twelve completely equal sectors, each of which bears the name of one of the constellations. The zodiac was known more than four thousand years ago, in Ancient Babylon. In those ancient times, it was depicted as a circle, which included the constellations, and a luminary revolved around it. It was believed that it was the Moon. This was explained by the absence of the most ancient special astronomical instruments with which one could observe the constellations in the daytime.

In the five hundred years BC, the zodiac circle undergoes major changes. It was divided into equal parts, and each was given a name that corresponded to a specific constellation. The ancient inhabitants of Babylon began to take into account the movement of not only the Moon, but also other luminaries, in particular the Sun.

After Babylon fell, the ancient Greeks took up the baton of observations. It was they who continued the study of the movement of celestial bodies. It was the Greeks who introduced the term “zodiac,” which has successfully survived to this day.

Undoubtedly, over the long history of the Circle, adjustments have been made. For example, the constellation Luhunga (Peasant), known since Babylon, was renamed Aries. And the constellation Libra in ancient times, apparently, was not recognized at all. The first mention of it dates back to the second century AD.

Despite the thousand-year history, the zodiac circle, it would seem, has retained its appearance. But still key points have been significantly changed. For example, among the ancient Greeks the zodiac wheel was divided not into twelve, but into thirteen sectors. Over time, the thirteenth constellation - Ophiuchus - was lost, and perhaps deliberately thrown out.

Ancient Greek Zodiac

Medieval astrologers made one, but very serious mistake. Restoring the astrological knowledge lost during the Inquisition, they took as a basis the calculations of Ptolemy, which have changed significantly over one and a half thousand years, which is quite natural. And the most important “blunder” can be called the shift in the starting point (the vernal equinox). When Ptolemy made his calculations, she was in the sign of Aries. Unfortunately, the ancient Greeks blindly copied the existing zodiac, and in the meantime the main point of reference moved to the sign of Pisces. Today, even a schoolchild knows that every fourth year is a leap year, that is, every four years there is a day of error, but then what can we say about the past thousands of years? Despite this, the modern zodiac, which, by the way, for some reason we call Chinese or Eastern, begins with Aries. This is where we will begin to analyze the symbols of the zodiac signs.

Elements of the zodiac

However, before we begin to describe and decipher the mentioned symbolic images, we should briefly dwell on one more important point. We are talking about the elements, of which there are four: Water, Fire, Air and Earth. Each of them patronizes a group of 3 signs:

1. Signs of the water element - Pisces, Scorpio, Cancer.

2. Fire signs - Leo, Sagittarius, Aries.

3. Capricorn, Virgo and Taurus belong to the earth element.

4. And the element of air is personified by Aquarius, Libra and Gemini.

Each of the mentioned elements influences its own group of signs, endowing people born under one or another constellation with corresponding character traits.

Well, now we will try to describe and decipher the zodiac signs (symbols) in order. After all, many, picking up a horoscope, do not understand the meanings of seemingly completely meaningless hieroglyphs, which bear little resemblance to the image of the zodiac figures.

Zodiac signs. Symbols. Images

And we will begin, perhaps, with Aries - the first sign in the modern zodiac circle. Its symbol consists of two arcs, which, intersecting at the bottom, create a kind of ellipse, a kind of drop. The arcs are slightly inclined downward, symbolizing the energy-informational message. If we consider them separately, we can talk about spiritual qualities of different directions.

The graphic symbol representing Aries looks a bit like a modified letter "V". Its interpretation can be considered the horns of a ram or even the entire head. According to another version, we have before us an image of the area of ​​a person’s nose and eyebrows. In any case, it is a symbol of progressive power, courage and initiative, the desire for life. Be that as it may, those born under the sign of Aries are persistent and stubborn. They belong to the category of people who act first and think later. As a rule, representatives of the sign in question have wide foreheads and sharp facial features. Interestingly, they are more prone to head injuries than others.

We continue to study the signs of the Zodiac (symbols) in order. Our next one is Taurus. His image resembles two horns placed on a circle. Consequently, we are again dealing with a peculiar image of the head of a horned animal, only this time – a bull. The drawing also symbolizes stubbornness, but at the same time – steadfastness, slowness, and sometimes laziness of Taurus. The vast majority of them are born plump and round. Slender Taurus are very rare. They appear only when some strong factors at birth influence their natal chart.

The symbol of Taurus contains the characteristics of two opposite principles - the Moon, as the energy of the soul, developing the feminine principle, and the Sun, which symbolizes solar energy, Spirit. This is a sign of perseverance, will, development. The Soul dominates over the Spirit, which indicates Taurus’s closeness to the Earth and Nature, and not to God and the cosmos. Among other things, these people are characterized by endurance and endurance, the ability to hide and store what they have acquired, thanks to which they accumulate a huge potential of energy, including spiritual energy.

One of the symbols that is quite easy to interpret. These are two letters "I". At the same time, they resemble the Roman numeral two. However, why be surprised? This is Gemini - a zodiac sign, the symbol of which personifies the eternal struggle of two personalities in one person. It’s not for nothing that people born under this constellation are considered hypocritical. But let's return to symbolism.

In this case, this is the possibility of connecting the incompatible: the waxing and waning Moon, perceiving the past and the future. In many cultures, Gemini characterizes the path of development, and at the same time, the sunset and decline. According to another version, this symbol represents a combination of day and night, black and white, good and evil.

Geminis, as a rule, are torn between two decisions, two issues, most often mutually exclusive. They rush to extremes: darkness or light, evil or good. It is always difficult to determine which Gemini you are currently communicating with. They are easy to pick out in a crowd - you just have to pay attention to a person whose actions do not match his words, and whose behavior changes every five minutes. They usually do several things at once, eat and talk quickly.

This symbol is quite complex. Outwardly, it resembles two inverted commas, located one above the other. This is Cancer, a zodiac sign whose symbol represents duality. This female sign. The graphic image means femininity, motherhood, but at the same time perseverance and tenacious grip.

In the usual interpretation, the Cancer symbol is represented as two vortices, two beginnings. This is necessary for the revival of new life. The pattern is often perceived as the closing claws of a cancer or as the process of merging male and female cells.

Since Cancer is a sign with a highly developed feminine principle, men born under it are often impressionable and sensitive natures. In addition, typical representatives of this zodiac character adore their families, and especially their mothers, and they will not contradict them under any circumstances.

Leo: symbol, meaning

Sometimes the symbols of the zodiac signs are quite intricate. An example is a curved line with a circle at one end. And who does this very original symbol of the zodiac sign represent? Leo, of course, fits perfectly into such an intricate characterization. Judge for yourself: doesn’t the smooth line resemble the wavy, curly and completely unruly mane of a predator? Graceful and sophisticated Leos can easily be distinguished from a huge crowd thanks to luxurious, thick curls that organically complement dark tanned skin and, as a rule, brown eyes.

The elegance of this symbol indicates the refined aristocracy, love of freedom, and sensitivity of Leo. It's funny, but there is only one thing that is beyond the control of the strong and proud representatives of this sign. They are unable to style their unruly hair. You can straighten them with an iron or curl them with a curling iron, you can even tie them in a tight knot, but still, sooner or later, one of them will break out.

Many experts believe that symbols and pictures of zodiac signs usually very clearly characterize those who belong to them. Well, they're probably right. Virgo belongs to the element of Earth. She is the only woman in the entire system. She personifies the ancient Greek goddess Demeter, the patroness of Nature, harvests, and fertility. This is how she is - Virgo, the sign of the Zodiac, the symbol of which is capital letter"M" with a neat curl on the right. Most likely, its creators had in mind the reproductive function of women.

Virgos often promote a healthy lifestyle. They are critical of their own weight, nutrition, appearance, and health. There is an opinion that it was the Virgos who invented the first, most daring diets.

Graphic images of the Zodiac signs surprisingly accurately emphasize not only the characteristic external features, but also the internal qualities of people. This statement can easily be attributed to Libra. Their symbol is a kind of hat above a straight horizontal line. This is the personification of scales (a symbol of justice), but everyone born under this sign is fair judges, capable of resolving any conflict by carefully listening to both sides.

In Hermetic, alchemical and Kabbalistic teachings, scales are a symbol of the bifurcation of the spiritual and physical, heavenly and earthly, and in the Bible - the balance between the external and internal world. They identify wisdom and the return to unity through a truce of opposites.

It is quite easy to recognize people belonging to this sign in your environment. You just need to start a small conflict and pay attention to who will be the first to listen to the arguments and arguments of the parties.

Scorpio: zodiac sign, symbol

Water Scorpio perfectly remembers old grievances (which, by the way, everyone has long forgotten) and will not miss an opportunity to avenge them. The Latin letter “M” ends with a small arrow on the right, which symbolizes the poisonous sting. Scorpio never admits to his thoughts of revenge. They are kept in the strictest confidence.

The next character of the Circle is Fiery Sagittarius. A zodiac sign whose symbol clearly depicts a raised bow and arrows being shot at random objects. These people can greatly injure those around them and those close to them with the arrows of their honesty, without thinking at all that they are hurting their pride. Sagittarians are not burdened with excessive diplomacy and a sense of tact.

In the traditional interpretation, this symbol is cosmic; it expresses the idea of ​​a perfect person, who is both a physical and spiritual being, worthy of divine origin. The arrow is a symbol of spiritual evolution and inner transformation.

Next in line is the zodiac sign Capricorn, whose symbol is the intricately twisted horns of a proud and fast mountain goat. This is one version. Another says that the horns make up only a fragment of a pattern that resembles the letter “V”, and the rest are the tails of a mythical creature - a non-existent sea goat. In any case, this is the personification of wisdom, which develops beyond its years, from early childhood. The drawing also means determination and courage, which help to overcome any obstacles. Interestingly, Capricorns have a “built-in” system of resistance to aging. They always look much younger than their age.

The Capricorn symbol represents the upward striving, the ascent towards light and life. This is on the one hand. On the other hand, a rapid fall into the void. This is expressed by the duality of the “monster” itself - half-goat - half-fish, inhabitant of mountain peaks and the depths of the sea.

The symbols of the zodiac signs quite often consist of straight lines. Aquarius is no exception. Two parallel broken lines mean fast flowing water. Others believe it is a graphic representation of electricity. After all, the abode of Aquarius is Uranus.

Evaluating everything critically, representatives of this sign are the most intelligent in the zodiac wheel. These are great debaters. Don't believe me? Express an idea in a group of people, and the first person to object to you will probably be an Aquarius. And not at all because he categorically disagrees with you. It's just hard for him to resist arguing. It is almost impossible to force him to change his point of view.

Zodiac sign Pisces: symbol and meaning

This personification of dual nature is somewhat reminiscent of the Gemini symbol. Two fish swimming in different directions, depicted by two curved lines. In the middle they are connected by a small segment. This is a vivid symbol of two fighting souls living in one person.

A complex and very sensitive sign. People born under it, as a rule, live in their own world, understandable only to them. But if it seems to you that Pisces weakly go with the flow, hiding from conflicts, then you are mistaken! They are very ambitious, aggressive and capable of going to great lengths to achieve their goals. With a few sarcastic barbs, they can trample all your attempts to improve the relationship.
