astrological signs

Celestial birth markers

Astrological signs are the twelve divisions of the zodiac—Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and so on—each associated with particular personality traits and tendencies.

In astrology, a person's sign is determined by the sun's position at birth: What's your sign?

The signs appear constantly in horoscopes, dating profiles, and casual conversation about compatibility and character.
