The zodiac is a belt-shaped section of the sky that stretches approximately 8 degrees north or south of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year (as measured in celestial latitude). The Moon’s and visible planets’ courses are all within the zodiac belt.
The zodiac is divided into twelve signs in Western astrology, and formerly astronomy: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign occupies 30 degrees of celestial longitude and roughly corresponds to the star constellations: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn
These astrological signs make up a celestial coordinate system, or more specifically, an ecliptic coordinate system, in which the ecliptic serves as the origin of latitude and the vernal equinox serves as the origin of longitude.

What is the best way to figure out my zodiac sign?
When people inquire about your zodiac sign, they usually mean your Sun sign. And, to be honest, everyone knows what their Sun sign is. It’s easy to check it up now that we have the Internet, and at the very least, everyone has been intrigued about what the stars have to say about them. Some people completely identify with their Sun sign, while others find it completely incomprehensible.
There are a few reasons for this, the most important of which are your Moon sign and Ascendant, which I’ll discuss later. Even if you don’t exactly relate to the attributes of that zodiac sign, from the perspective of the sky, you will find patterns that correlate due to planetary motions at any given moment, thus I always urge people to read for the Sun sign in daily/monthly/yearly horoscopes.
Your Sun sign is determined by your birthday. If you were born on a day when the Sun changed signs, you may need to consult a personal natal chart because you may be one sign over the other. You can’t have two Sun signs, which means cusps don’t exist (despite attempts by pop culture magazines to make them so; stop trying, Karen!).
What astrological signs complement each other?
- Someone who is self-assured, secretive, and capable of keeping them on their toes is a Leo.
- Sagittarius is a free-spirited, open-minded soul who does not strive to change others.
- Capricorn is a sophisticated, fashionable, and intriguing spirit who can keep their mind occupied while being faithful.
- Gemini: a person with a sharp mind, a good sense of humor, and enough diversity to keep things interesting.
- Aquarius: a dedicated but fun-loving individual with a wicked sense of humour and a culinary talent.
- Scorpio is attracted to people who can test them and feed off their passion and intensity.
- Pisces: someone with self-assurance, a creative intellect, and the capacity to connect with others.
What Are the Most Compatible Zodiac Signs for Friendships?
Friendships are an important aspect of one’s life. Nothing beats having a friend at your side with whom you can share everything and who will always be there for you. Astrology has a lot to say about compatibility, especially in nature; reading someone’s zodiac sign can give you an idea of their friendship. The zodiac sun sign pairs that are the most compatible are:
Aries, who should you marry?
Libra (opposites attract), Sagittarius, and Leo are the most compatible signs for Aries in friendship and romantic relationships (fellow fire signs will speak their same passionate language).
July is what zodiac sign?
Cancer is the Zodiac’s fourth astrological sign, deriving from the constellation Cancer.
The Sun transits this sign in the tropical zodiac between June 21 and July 22. You are a Cancer Sun Sign if your birthdate falls between these dates.
Cancer Personality
You are the Zodiac’s Patriarchs and Matriarchs. To you, family is everything. With zeal and commitment, you keep an eye on your children. You can always be counted on to attend any graduation, wedding, surprise party, or barbeque involving your relatives. They are unquestionably your tribe, and you are quite generous with them all.
Many of you have successful careers because you understand that this is the greatest way to support your family. Others like becoming stay-at-home parents because no one knows your children better than you. You want them to succeed, and you’ll do everything you can to help them do so.
You value your home and family so much that you are willing to put your personal wishes and desires aside for the sake of your immediate family. You’re often highly ambitious, and you want to move ahead so that you can provide the best for your family.
You understand that nutrition is the key to good health, thus cooking comes naturally to you. Chefs, as well as nurses and doctors who care for the physically crippled or unwell, are among your ranks. You are extremely perceptive and can always sense when one of your charges is in distress. It’s impossible not to feel depressed when you go into a room full of depressed people.
You prefer delicate tones and low lighting, and you prefer to make allusions to the things that are tough for you. You, like your totem, the crab who sidesteps, may find it difficult to be forthright. This might lead to miscommunication with others, so find a way to be explicit. It’s possible that writing things down will help.
On July 4, 1776, there were four planets in Cancer, rather than just one. Is it any surprise that we have trouble coping with our problems because we commemorate our national birthday on this date?
You are one of the best as a partner or parent. Everyone around you never has to wonder if you care since you demonstrate it on a regular basis.
Cancer Compatibility
Taurus has a way of making you feel like you’re his or her only, and the back rubs are to die for. Pisces appreciates your sensitivity and is always willing to listen to your day’s events.
Scorpio has the ability to read your feelings and will accompany you on your emotional journey. Virgo will maintain everything in order and make sure the rent is paid on time.
