Chances are at some point you’ve been asked about your zodiac sign, or you have wondered why some people claim to be Taurus or Leo or Gemini and others. If you have ever been in any of those situations, then you should keep reading this.
Here you will get to understand the zodiac signs, their traits, and likely personality. But first, let’s get some clarity.
What are Zodiac Signs?
Zodiac signs in astrology refer to one of the twelve constellations of the zodiac that the sun passes through. A person’s particular sign of the zodiac is the one that the sun was in when they were born.
According to astrologers, a person’s personality can be predicted using their sign of the zodiac.
Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s dive in, shall we?
The Twelve Signs of the Zodiac
Aries, The Ram (March 21 – April 19)
The first sign of the zodiac is Aries, characterized by the ram symbol. This sign’s inhabitants are believed to be enthusiastic, brave, and independent. They are strong and independent people who are not afraid to test the limits.
Aries people want adventure and fresh challenges, and are not afraid to take chances to accomplish their objectives. Additionally, this desire can lead to impulsiveness and stubbornness (why do you think they are called rams?). They are highly self-assured and aware of what they want from life, but can occasionally come off as overpowering.
Aries people enjoy taking the lead, that’s for sure.
Taurus, The Bull (April 20 – May 20)
Next, we have Taurus, which is the second sign of the zodiac. This zodiac sign is represented by the bull, and those born under it are known to be patient, loyal, and determined.
If you were born under the Taurus sign, you are likely to be stubborn, possessive, and materialistic. You are also probably very patient and loyal to those close to you, and don’t let go of grudges easily. For you, things are in black and white; no shades of grey. You also love the finer things in life.

Gemini, The Twin (May 21 – June 20)
This is the third sign of the zodiac, represented by the twins. What twins, you ask? Well, according to legend, Castor and Pollux were twin half-brothers in Greek and Roman mythology, known together as the Dioscuri. However, they had different fathers; Castor’s was a mortal king, and Pollux’s was Zeus, the king of the Greek gods. Pollux asked Zeus to let him share his own immortality with his twin to keep them together, and bam! The Gemini constellation was born.
No need to thank me for the mythology lesson.
Gemini are flexible, curious, and adaptable. If you are a Gemini, you are likely to be restless, impatient, and indecisive. You are very curious and love to explore new things.
Gemini are also very adaptable to change and are great at balancing work and play. They can sometimes be indecisive, and prefer to explore their options before making a choice.
