Question 1

How many zodiac signs are there and what are they?

Accepted Answer

There are 12 zodiac signs, each covering roughly one month of the year: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. They divide the ecliptic — the Sun's apparent yearly path — into twelve equal 30-degree segments, and each one carries its own element, ruling planet and set of personality themes.

Question 2

How do I find out my zodiac sign?

Accepted Answer

Your zodiac sign — also called your sun sign — is determined by your date of birth. Find the date range your birthday falls into and that is your sign. If you were born close to the boundary between two signs, the exact hour and place of birth matter, because the Sun changes sign at a specific moment that shifts slightly from year to year. Moyra's natal chart calculation uses your exact birth time and location to remove that ambiguity.

Question 3

What do the four elements mean in astrology?

Accepted Answer

The 12 signs are grouped into four elements, three signs each. Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) is drive and enthusiasm; Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) is practicality and endurance; Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) is thought and communication; Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) is emotion and intuition. Signs that share an element tend to understand each other easily, which is why elements are one of the first things astrologers look at when comparing two charts.

Question 4

Is my zodiac sign the same as my sun sign?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When someone asks for your zodiac sign in everyday conversation, they mean your sun sign — the sign the Sun occupied on the day you were born. It is only one piece of your chart, though. Your moon sign describes your emotional world and your rising sign shapes how others first experience you. Reading all three together gives a far more accurate picture than the sun sign alone.

Question 5

How accurate are zodiac sign personality traits?

Accepted Answer

Sun sign descriptions are broad by design — they summarise a theme shared by everyone born in a month-long window, so they will never capture an individual precisely. Their value is as a starting point. Accuracy improves sharply once you add the rest of the chart: planetary positions, houses and aspects calculated from your exact birth time. Treat sign traits as a first sketch, not a verdict.
