The Signs...

The annual revolution of the Earth around the Sun is divided into the 360 degrees of a circle, a division that is accepted mathematically and astronomically as a universal fundamental. The subdivision of the circle into 12 equal 30 degree arcs, distinguished by names (which came from the constellations which appeared in the night sky at the time) are known as the "Signs of the Zodiac". The signs originally were symbolically assigned their specific traits based on the constellations of the same names which appeared in the night sky at that time of the year, however now, those traits are more relative to the vast number of astrologers and successful interpreters who refined the Signs over time.

The signs were originally divided into 18 irregular signs by the Babylonians (who studied the natal charts of all children born among them for a period greater than 1,000 years) however, a neat division of 12 sections (30 degrees each) was soon incorporated (for more accurate interpretation) by the time that Christ was born. The Signs themselves each came to be defined as holding specific traits that were related to the patterns of the constellations seen in the night sky during the times when each sign is said to be 'rising'. Each constellation 'rises' for a general period of 29-31 days each before passing on to the next sign.

The names of the twelve tribes of Israel translated from the Hebrew are the names of the twelve Zodiacal Signs!

We will list below the Signs (in order of their appearance in the night sky beginning with the Spring equinox) and note the qualities as they are known to influence an astrological/numerological chart:
