01 The region of sky that is parallel
with the ecliptic. Zodiac means ‘band
of animals’. Our zodiac is Greek in origin
(star-circle). Around 3,500 BC the names and terminology of
the zodiac and constellations which we use today was developed. During the Greek Golden Age, the myths of
Hera, Apollo and Aphrodite were not
considered myths, but sacred
histories of the lives of the anthropomorphized star deities.
02 The Chinese use Rat, Ox,
Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster,
Dog and Pig. These names seem to have
originated not earlier than the T’ang dynasty (600 AD). Chinese magical texts mention 36
animals.

Horoscope sign: Aries 
The Arian is a pioneer both in thought and action, very open to new ideas and a
lover of freedom. They welcome challenges and will not be diverted from their
purpose except by their own impatience, which will surface if they don't get
quick results. In personal relationships Arians are frank, direct and candid,
and make enthusiastic and generous friends. They are liable to have a high sex
drive and make passionate but fastidious lovers. Arians are highly devoted to
their children, even to the point of laying down their own lives, so that they
might live. You will not find a more defensive and loving parent in all the
zodiac.
Horoscope sign: Taurus 
The Taurean's characteristics are solidity, practicality, extreme determination
and strength of will - no one will ever drive them, but they will willingly and
loyally follow a leader they trust. They are stable, balanced, conservative
good, law-abiding citizens and lovers of peace, possessing all the best
qualities of the bourgeoisie. Taureans are faithful and generous friends with a
great capacity for affection. In the main, they are gentle, even tempered, good
natured, modest and slow to anger, disliking quarreling and avoiding
ill-feeling.
Horoscope sign: Gemini 
The sign of Gemini is linked with Mercury, the planet of childhood and youth,
and its subjects tend to have the graces and faults of the young. Like children
they are lively, and happy, if circumstances are right for them, or egocentric,
imaginative and restless. They take up new activities enthusiastically but lack
application, constantly needing new interests, flitting from project to project
as apparently purposelessly as a butterfly dancing from flower to flower. To
them life is a game which must always be full of fresh moves and continuous
entertainment, free of labor and routine. Changing horses in the middle of the
stream is another small quirk in the Gemini personality which makes decision
making, and sticking to a decision, particularly hard for them.
Horoscope sign: Cancer 
The Cancerian character is the least clear-cut of all those associated with the
signs of the zodiac. It can range from the timid, dull, shy and withdrawn to
the most brilliant, and famous Cancerians are to be found through the whole
range of human activity. It is a fundamentally conservative and home-loving
nature, appreciating the nest like quality of a secure base to which the male
can retire when he needs a respite from the stresses of life, and in which the
Cancerian woman can exercise her strong maternal instincts. The latter tends to
like and to have a large family. `Nest like' is an appropriate adjective for
the Cancerian home, for its inhabitants tend to favor the dark, mysterious but
comfortable type of house which has something of the air of a den about it, a
place which belongs to the family rather than existing as a showcase to impress
visitors.
Horoscope sign: Leo 
The Leo type is the most dominant, spontaneously creative and extrovert of all
the zodiacal characters. In grandeur of manner, splendor of bearing and
magnanimity of personality, they are the monarch's among humans as the lion is
king of beasts. They are ambitious, courageous, dominant, strong willed,
positive, independent, self-confident there is no such a word as doubt in their
vocabularies, and they are self-controlled. They are at their most effective
when in a position of command, their personal magnetism and innate courtesy of
mind bringing out the best of loyalty from subordinates. They are
uncomplicated, knowing exactly what they want and using all their energies,
creativeness and resolution to get it, as well as being certain that they will
get whatever they are after. Their followers know where they are with Leonians.
Horoscope sign: Virgo 
Virgo is the only zodiacal sign represented by a female. It is sometimes
thought of as a potentially creative girl, delicately lovely; sometimes as a
somewhat older woman, intelligent but rather pedantic and spinsterish. The
latter impression is sometimes confirmed by the Virgoan preciseness,
refinement, fastidious love of cleanliness, hygiene and good order,
conventionality and aristocratic attitude of reserve. They are usually
observant, shrewd, critically inclined, judicious, patient, practical
supporters of the status quo, and tend toward conservatism in all departments
of life. On the surface they are emotionally cold, and sometimes this goes
deeper, for their habit of suppressing their natural kindness may in the end
cause it to atrophy, with the result that they shrink from committing
themselves to friendship, make few relationships, and those they do make they
are careful to keep superficial.
Horoscope sign: Libra 
Libra is the only inanimate sign of the zodiac, all the others representing
either humans or animals. Many modern astrologers regard it as the most
desirable of zodiacal types because it represents the zenith of the year, the
Horoscope sign: Scorpio 
Scorpios are the most intense, profound, powerful characters in the zodiac. Even
when they appear self-controlled and calm there is a seething intensity of
emotional energy under the placid exterior. They are like the volcano not far
under the surface of a calm sea, it may burst into eruption at any moment.
Scorpio is the symbol of sex and Scorpios are passionate lovers, the most
sensually energetic of all the signs. For them, union with the beloved is a
sacrament, an 'outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace'. In
conventional social gatherings they are pleasant to be with, thoughtful in
conversation, dignified, and reserved, yet affable and courteous.
Horoscope sign: Sagittarius 
Sagittarians have a positive outlook on life, are full of enterprise, energy,
versatility, adventurousness and eagerness to extend experience beyond the
physically familiar. They enjoy traveling and exploration, the more so because
their minds are constantly open to new dimensions of thought. They are
basically ambitious and optimistic, and continue to be so even when their hopes
are dashed. Their strongly idealistic natures can also suffer many
disappointments without being affected.
Horoscope sign: Capricorn 
Capricorn is one of the most stable and (mostly) serious of the zodiacal types.
These independent, rocklike characters have many sterling qualities. They are
normally confident, strong willed and calm. These hardworking, unemotional,
shrewd, practical, responsible, persevering, and cautious to the extreme
persons, are capable of persisting for as long as is necessary to accomplish a
goal they have set for themselves. They are reliable workers in almost any
profession they undertake. They are the major finishers of most projects
started by the 'pioneering' signs; with firm stick-to-it-ness they quickly
become the backbone of any company they work for. Once married, they are
faithful, though inclined to jealousy. Most Capricornians marry for life.
Horoscope sign: Aquarius 
Aquarians basically possess strong and attractive personalities. They fall into
two principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle and patient; the other
exuberant, lively and exhibitionist, sometimes hiding the considerable depths
of their character under a cloak of frivolity. Both types are strong willed and
forceful in their different ways and have strong convictions, though as they
seek truth above all things, they are usually honest enough to change their
opinions, however firmly held, if evidence comes to light which persuades them
that they have been mistaken. They have a breadth of vision that brings diverse
factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument without
shilly-shallying as to which side to take. Consequently they are unprejudiced and
tolerant of other points of view. This is because they can see the validity of
the argument, even if they do not accept it themselves. They obey the Quaker
exhortation to 'Be open to truth, from whatever source it comes,' and are
prepared to learn from everyone.
Horoscope sign: Pisces 
Pisces are good at understanding others and themselves, more so than any other
sign. This is also the sign of the true, and gifted, mystic. Pisceans possess a
gentle, patient, malleable nature. They have many generous qualities and are
friendly, good natured, kind and compassionate, sensitive to the feelings of
those around them, and respond with the utmost sympathy and tact to any
suffering they encounter. They are deservedly popular with all kinds of people,
partly because their easygoing, affectionate, submissive natures offer no
threat or challenge to stronger and more exuberant characters. They accept the
people around them and the circumstances in which they find themselves rather
than trying to adapt them to suit themselves, and they patiently wait for
problems to sort themselves out rather than take the initiative in solving
them. They are more readily concerned with the problems of others than with
their own.
