What Does Your Zodiac Sign Say About Your Personality

Most people know their zodiac sign and read their daily horoscopes, but only a few understand what it’s really about. There’s definitely more to astrology than merely learning the zodiac signs and their meanings. Everyone is unique and the position of the Sun at the exact moment we were born can tell a lot about our personality. Each of the twelve zodiac signs has a duality, either feminine or masculine, each has a fixed, cardinal or mutable quality, and each sign is associated with an element (Earth, Fire, Water, and Air). Astrology can help us learn who we are and it can also serve as a great tool to enhance our compassion and understanding towards others.
