CULTURAL AWARENESS

WHAT IS YOUR ZODIAC SIGN?

In Western astrology, astrological signs are the twelve 30o sectors of the ecliptic, starting at the
vernal equinox (one of the intersections of the ecliptic with the celestial equator), also known as the Firs
Point of Aries. The order of the astrological signs is Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra,
Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

The concept of the zodiac originated in Babylonian astrology. According to astrology, celestial
phenomena relate to human activity on the principle of “as above, so below,” so that the signs are held
to represent characteristic modes of expression, or primary energy patterns indicating specific qualities f
experience, through which planets manifest their dimension of experience.

Western Zodiac is founded on the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies such as
the Sun, Moon, and planets, which are analyzed by their movement through signs of the zodiac during
the year.

The Chinese Zodiac relates each year to an animal and its reputed attributes, according to 12-
year cycle in a combination of five elements (earth, water, heaven, fire and wind).
