The Zodiac
The Zodiac is a collection of human figures, mythical creatures, and objects including the scales. The word zodiac is derived from greek, and means circle of figures or living things. Babylonian astronomers divided the band of the zodiac into 12 equal sections or “signs” they recorded how the sun, the moon, and the planets moved through the signs for the purpose of astrology, which was the earliest study of the heavens, the moon and sun were considered to be planets.
The earliest astrologers thought that the Earth was the the center of the universe, and all the other heavenly bodies revolved around it. It was around this time that Astrologers began casting horoscopes based on the position of the sun, the moon, and the planets in the Zodiac. Each of the 12 signs represents a period of 28-31 days of the year.
“Your” birth date falls within one of these periods and determines which astrological sign is yours. Just like each of us, each of the signs is different and holds clues to who we are, what we like and dislike, and to whom and what we are attracted. Each week i will have at least one new Zodiac sign article so look for your sign each week!!

Masculine or Feminine? The 12 signs are divided by Masculine: which are considered to be strong
