Signs and their characteristics

The elements and signs can give us a hint as to what we need to overcome ourselves in and what we can then control and have under our healthy control. But it depends on our level of development of our being, or maturity. Another influence is our "planned" situations that we are supposed to experience in this life. Therefore, it is advisable not to cling to labels or deadlines. We are constantly changing, at every moment we have a different physical, mental and mental setting.

Zodiac constellations - history and shift

The ecliptic, or the path of the Sun, as perceived from the revolving Earth, passes through the constellations that made up the Zodiac: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Some astrologers add a 13th constellation, which also resides on the ecliptic: Ophiuchus.

Babylonian astrologers, and later Greeks, originally determined the signs of the zodiac according to the constellation of the Sun on the day you were born. Early astronomers observed the Sun passing through the signs over the course of a year and spending about a month in each of them. In this way, they calculated that each constellation would extend 30 degrees along the ecliptic.

Ancient astrologers grouped 12 signs according to classical elements. The elements represent certain personality traits and are used in conjunction with the star signs, as well as the position of the Sun, Moon and known planets at the time to determine the horoscope:

Fire - Aries, Sagittarius, Leo (spontaneous and impulsive)

Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces (imaginative and emotional)

Air - Libra, Aquarius, Gemini (fast and lively, tendency to rationalize feelings)

Earth - Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo (quiet and slow reactions, slow emotional changes)

However, a phenomenon called precession changed the position of the constellations we see today and led to a shift in the constellations of the zodiac.

 

Precession and astrology:

The first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere was once marked by the zero point of the zodiac. Astronomers call it the vernal equinox and it occurs at the moment when the ecliptic and celestial equators intersect around March 21.

Around 600 BC, there was a zero point in Aries and it was called the "first point of Aries". The constellation of Aries included the first 30 degrees of the ecliptic; from 30 to 60 degrees was Taurus; from 60 to 90 degrees were Gemini; and so on for all 12 constellations of the zodiac.

Unbeknownst to ancient astrologers, the Earth is constantly moving on its axis in a 25,800-year cycle. This wave, called precession, is caused by the gravitational attraction of the Moon on the equatorial plane of the Earth.

 

Shift:

 

Over the past two and a half millennia, these ripples have caused an intersection between the celestial equator and the ecliptic movement westward along the ecliptic of 36 degrees, or almost exactly one-tenth of the way around the Pisces-Aquarius boundary. It means that the signs slipped a tenth, or almost a whole month, from the path around the sky to the west, compared to the stars beyond.

For example, those born between March 21 and April 19 consider themselves Aries. Today, the sun is no longer in the constellation of Aries during most of this period. From March 11 to April 18, the sun is indeed in the constellation of Pisces.
