What are Zodiac Signs?
The zodiac is divided into 12 signs, each 30 degrees long. The
cycle of zodiac signs starts with Aries, which begins at the spot on
the ecliptic where the Sun is on the first day of spring. These 30
degree sections of the sky are actually blocks of space, not time.
Zodiac signs are often confused in the popular mind with "sun signs".
When a person says, "I'm an Aries!", what they're really saying is they
were born at a time of the year when the Sun is in the zodiac sign of
Aries. Because our calendar is designed to mimic the motions of the Sun
around the zodiac, the Sun is in Aries at nearly the same time period
each year (roughly March 20th or 21st to April 19th or 20th). Hence the
12 sun signs are like months of a calendar based on the zodiac. They
represent time, not space.
The motions of the other planets through the zodiac signs can
be quite irregular, compared to the Sun's motion. On average, they
range from the fast moving Moon (which spends about 2-1/2 days in each
sign) to the slow poke Pluto (roughly 12 to 24 years in each sign).
