Understanding The Zodiac

The Zodiac is basically an area of the sky extending to an approximate of eight degrees north or south of the ecliptic which is also the path of the sun across the celestial sphere across the year. Western astrology state that the zodiac is divided into twelve signs whereby they each occupy thirty degrees of celestial longitude.

The twelve astrological signs from the celestial coordinate system include Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. These astrological have then been categorized into four different categories that will be discussed later.

The division of the signs originated from the Babylonians astronomy during the first half of the 1st millennium BC. The division did not happen until around the end of the fifth century BC, where the Babylonian astronomers then divided the ecliptic into the now known Horoscope Stars. Each sign is comprised of thirty degrees of celestial longitude creating the first known celestial coordinates system.

Zodiac Compatibility can then be termed as the fitting in of two different horoscopes to make a perfect lifetime match. Later we will find that there are no really incompatible zodiac signs in astrology meaning that any two signs are more or less compatible.

Most of this is more of science or spiritualism and less of Religion. Zodiac was first invented by astrologists as a way to understand the universe and how it works. To some extent, astrology was considered by some to be more of a science that offers comfort, faith and deeper understanding of the world we are in. It is said, and more believed, that the interpretation always offers assurance of the future of a person and in a way show one the way in which they can resolve issues to improve their relationship with partners, family, and friends.

Astrology is believed by some people to work and most people who have a habit of going to astrologers to have them read their horoscopes and explain the meaning to them, always end up with a feeling of fulfillment and satisfaction. This cannot be considered that the astrologer has actually read out the future of the person depending on the horoscope. Instead, it is more of the fulfillment it gives.

As mentioned above the Zodiac Signs belong to four elements, namely: Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. It is believed that signs with the same element tend to have a natural compatibility because they understand each other best. In addition, air element tends to fit in best with the Fire element while Water element fits best with Earth element. The expectations are that the strongest attraction is said to be of opposing signs and they have great potential.

• Fire Element - Fire element comprises of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. These Horoscopes are said to represent passion, creativity, spontaneity, and spark. It is also believed that those that are born in the fire element are fast movers and very energetic with numerous passion and excitement. A fire sign person can always ensure that the work is done and are easy to light a fire under a situation. People from the fire element are also said to be temperamental and are also said to be natural and managed carefully.
• Air Element - This is The Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. These people are more of action ideas and motion mainly considered the winds of change. They move with their guts and can't help themselves. They bring about the breath of fresh air when things go sideways, and just like the breeze, you can't catch them and they carry you away and you never know where they will drop you.
• Earth Element - Comprise of Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn who are people that always keep it real. These are people who bring us back to earth and a constant reminder that all should be built on a solid foundation. If you want someone loyal and stable, Earth element people are the ones to look for, though pretty slow and steady. Just like glue, they stick by their people in hard times. During the good times, they can bring out their practical nature. Though at their worst, they are materialistic or end up being too focused on the things that are on the surface instead of digging it in depth.
• Water Element - Talk about being too sensitive, intuitive and emotional. Water Element Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces happen to be pretty mysterious just like the ocean. With characteristics like that of water, they refresh and can also drown you in their depths. Their dreams are intense and just as how water needs a container to be stored, lest it dries up or disappears. Security is a must for them and has borderlines-psychic intuition.
