Star Signs

In modern western astrology there are twelve signs of the zodiac. These are commonly referred to as "star signs" although it is generally considered more accurate to call them "sun signs" or zodiac signs.

A person's sign is determined by the location of the Sun in relation to the zodiac at the time of their birth (see diagram).

3. Gemini, the twins (May 21–June 21)
4. Cancer, the crab (June 22–July 22)
5. Leo, the lion (July 23–August 22)
6. Virgo, the virgin (August 23–September 22)
7. Libra, the balance (September 23–October 23)
8. Scorpius (Scorpio), the scorpion (October 24–November 21)
9. Sagittarius, the archer (November 22–December 21)
