Zodiac signs are something that many people disagree on, some believe that they are accurate, some aren’t sure, and others don’t believe in them. When you were born determines your sign because of astrology.

Some people believe and research there Zodiac signs, “I check my horoscope daily,” Madison Gage (10) said. “My sign is Virgo and they are known for being loyal, analytical, and kind, and dislike rudeness and asking for help, which I think describes me.”

Madison said she also checks other people’s signs so she can understand her friends and family better. “Zodiac signs are so interesting to me because they help me connect with the people around me and even myself. I also look at my compatibilities with other signs, what careers would be good to pursue, how I can better myself, and famous people with my sign. I sometimes look at my specific birthday and it’s more accurate to my personality and characteristics.”

Zodiac signs allow people to gain insight of their characteristics, personality traits, talents, and special qualities. Surveys have shown that around 90 percent of the population is aware of their signs and half of the regularly check their horoscopes. Though only a small percentage of them take their signs seriously and know the astrological concepts behind their birth signs. Astronomers have researched these signs for thousands of years and observed people’s behaviors, emotions, actions, and characteristics based on their birth dates. Zodiac signs are determined by days in different months, and to get an even more accurate understanding of your sign it can be also divided into four sections for each month, what season you were born in, and even the exact day you were born.

The Zodiac is an imaginary band in the sky that the sun, the moon, and the planets appear to move along according to the ancient Greeks. Located in this band are 12 constellations which the 12 astrological signs are named after. The Zodiac derives from the Ancient Greek word, ‘Zodiakos Kyklos,’ which means ‘circle of animals.’

Some people believe that the Zodiac is not a predictor of love, wealth, and health, they think that it just allows us to understand the motions of the sun and Earth. They also have this belief because the Sun is constantly moving between planets at an unpredictable rate, the sun doesn’t complete a full orbit in one year, and the sky has changed since 3,000 years ago when astrological signs were first created.

Other people are not sure about Zodiac signs, “I have my doubts about zodiac signs because some description of my sign are correct and some of them are nothing like me,” Nick Ochoa (10) said. “I’m a Libra and Libras are described as being cooperative, gracious, and diplomatic, but it also says they dislike confrontation, but I confront people all the time.” Nick is unsure about his sign, but if he researched more about his Libra section and his exact birth date, he may get more accurate information about his personality and characteristic traits.

Zodiac signs will continue to be disputed by people who think they’re accurate and people who think they aren’t, but it will continue to be an unknown. People who believe in Zodiac signs seem to be more aware of their emotions and relationships which can be helpful in life.

“I believe in Zodiac signs because it interests me that the placement of the moon and stars determines my personality and it’s accurate,” Madison said. “I think people should at least read into their signs because they might find information that relates to them and is true to  themselves.”
