The Zodiac Signs and Behavior.

My belief is that the nature of our behavior is based on astronomy; hence the reason that people who share the same zodiac sign have very similar characteristics, and sometimes a combination of people with certain zodiac signs cannot get along or are very compatible. Sometimes I can tell from a person’s sign because of their behavior, and likes and dislikes. Learning more about astrology and the zodiac signs helps us to understand people and their actions. Many argue that it is coincidence, but the odds are too high to be that.
It was not up until 200 years ago that people started identifying their zodiac sign with the position of the Sun. So when a person is asked what is his or sign, the Sun was passing through on the day that person was born. This can be demonstrated on a birth chart. Our birth charts are special "sky maps" which reflect the quality of the exact moment we drew our first breath. With that first breath, we each began our own incredible hero's journey through life on planet Earth. The birth positions of the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all play their own unique symbolic roles as messengers and ambassadors of the universe.
The argument is that some people question why the description of the sign does not fit them. The answer is that there are three parts to the birth chart: the sun, the moon, and the ascendant. The sun (fast) travels through all 12 zodiac signs during the course of approximately a year. The moon (faster) travels through all 12 zodiac signs during the course of approximately a month, and the ascendant (fastest): travels through all 12 zodiac signs during the course of a 24 hour day. Also, a birth chart and interpretation or either a horoscope and compatibility report cannot be accurate for everyone born under a specific zodiac sign unless the astrologer has accurate information about the time of birth, date of birth and place of birth. Sometimes the time is not known and an astrologer will use 12:01 P.M. which, while not as accurate as it should be, will put one as close to the target as possible. Without this information everything one reads about one’s sign anywhere will be generalized information.
Cancer, for example, is located in the astrological element of Water. Of the four astrological elements (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water) water is the most ancient, primitive, and instinctual. Because it is the most primal element, water is also the element furthest away from rational, describable, consciousness and thought. Therefore, water energy tends to defy our meager attempts at coming up with rational explanations and descriptions. In astrology, the element of water is associated with feeling, sensitivity, and emotion. All three Signs placed in the element of water (Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces) are rather difficult to describe or measure out their true essence.
Most Geminians, the sign of the twins which are ruled by Mercury, have identical characteristics to their sign. On the downside, they have a tendency to criticize, complain, be ungrateful, and be deceitful. Their good qualities include: being adaptable, congenial, expressive, and clever. Learning to make a firm decision and sticking to it is one of their most difficult tasks. Geminians are sometimes said to have split personalities; meaning that the first impression you get from them is usually followed by one in contrast. Hence the symbol; the twins is used to describe the two sides of their personality. Signs in a complementary element are considered to be "sextile." If you play "connect the dots" on an astrology chart, "sextile" Signs (together with the "trine" Signs) form a six sided star. The exception to this is that people with their Suns in the opposite Sign (complementary elements) are considered to be in Sign Opposition. Aries is trine Leo and Sagittarius, sextile Aquarius and Gemini, and in opposition to Libra. Taurus is trine Virgo and Capricorn, sextile Cancer and Pisces, and in opposition to Scorpio. Gemini is trine Libra and Aquarius, sextile Aries and Leo, and in opposition to Sagittarius. Cancer is trine Scorpio and Pisces, sextile Virgo and Taurus, and in opposition to Capricorn. Leo is trine Sagittarius and Aries, sextile Libra and Gemini, and in opposition to Aquarius. Virgo is trine Taurus and Capricorn, sextile Cancer and Scorpio, and in opposition to Pisces. Libra is trine Gemini and Aquarius, sextile Leo and Sagittarius, and in opposition to Aries. Scorpio is trine Cancer and Pisces, sextile Capricorn and Virgo, and in opposition to Taurus. Sagittarius is trine Leo and Aries, sextile Libra and Aquarius, and in opposition to Gemini. Capricorn is trine Virgo and Taurus, sextile Scorpio and Pisces, and in opposition to Cancer. Aquarius is trine Gemini and Libra, sextile Aries and Sagittarius, and in opposition to Leo and Pisces is trine Cancer and Scorpio, sextile Capricorn and Taurus, and in opposition to Virgo.
First of all a Horoscope is the prediction of daily happenings in your daily life and a Birth Chart is a picture of the wheel of your planets, houses and placements therein and the interpretation of your chart wheel indicates the strengths and weaknesses in your physical and emotional makeup which gives you insight on how to relate to and get along with others in order to make your life a more happier and worthwhile journey and a system to see if a match between you and another will offer you a greater chance at happiness based on the combination of your charts.
A Compatibility report or Synastry interpretation and Chart Wheel combines your chart and a mates to form a brand new entity (personality) called relationship. The sign, the rising sign and other placements, in most cases, will be different than either your chart or your mate's chart. This shows what strengths you will be able to call upon in the relationship and what weaknesses to overcome.
A Birth Chart and Interpretation or either a Horoscope and compatibility report cannot be accurate for everyone born under a specific Zodiac sign unless the Astrologer has accurate information about the time of birth, date of birth and place of birth. Place of residence is important in the casting of daily Horoscopes. Sometimes the time is not known and an Astrologer will use 12:01 P.M. which, while not as accurate as it should be, will put you as close to the target as possible. Without this information everything you read about your sign anywhere will be generalized information.
