The Meaning of the Star Signs In Astrology

Hey, what's your sign? Pretty lame pick up line, huh? Back in the 70's when disco enthusiasts used that line in bars; they were referring to their compatibility based on their star sign. Because of the huge importance of the sun, coupled with its convenience, the position of the sun within constellations is the most influential and accepted component of the astrological chart, or any other astrological system for that matter.

The astrological year commences in spring, with the first sign being Aries. Each sign, sometimes referred to as the Zodiac signs or Houses, is associated with one of the four elements. A planet, and set of personalities and individual traits that are able to broadly encompass the people born while the Sun is positioned within that particular constellation.

Below is a brief description of each of the star sings, its element, its personalities, and its planet. Aries is a Fire sign. People whose star sign is Aires are the action over words people. They don't just talk the talk, they walk the walk. Aries is ruled by Mars.The next star sign is Taurus. Taurus is an Earth sign, whose predominant traits are stubbornness, security in a relationship. Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus.

We then come to Gemini. Gemini is an air sign ad represents the sons of Zeus, Castor and Polydeuces. Gemeni's exhibit logic, inquisitiveness, though they can sometimes be superficial. Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury. After Gemini is Cancer. Cancer is a Water sign, ruled by the Moon. Cancers can be erratic, and though they don't show it, they are sensitive and strongly affected by love and life.
