So the whole notion of the zodiac and horoscopes and what have you has come under heavy scrutiny. Some people take it seriously and the ones that don't mock the people that do. It would seem hard to believe that your mere birth time and place can determine so many factors about your present life and future but many people base their whole lives on these readings.
Do y'all believe in this kinda thing?
I personally never believed in it or at least took it that seriously. I read about my basic sun sign (the main zodiac sign based on birthday) and I thought it was cool and there were some vague things that were in line with my actual personality, but never put that much thought into it. I always thought there was a danger of people trying to purposefully mould their lives around the supposed accuracy of a zodiac rather than letting the zodiac readings speak for themselves based on how one lives naturally. Basically, one would read something about jealousy and think "lemme be jealous because my star sign says I am" rather than living and maybe having jealousy inherent in them and seeing that the descriptor happens to match.
Anyway....I was discussing this with someone in my family who proceeded to tell me there's more than just the sun sign (mine is Scorpio) so I should look at a detailed chart and see how accurate this shyt really is. So I was looking at shyt like moon signs and rising signs and all this other shyt that made no sense to me but it was remarkable how accurate about 80% of this stuff was, even down to the 'houses' or whatever.
So I thought I would do a free online reading just putting my birth details in and time of birth etc. and I got the following results with description and maybe y'all would be interested in doing the same if you're into/fascinated by this kinda thing.

My results came out like this...
Sun sign: SCORPIO
The Sun represents vitality, a sense of individuality and outward-shining creative energy.
Moon sign: CANCER
The Moon represents the emotional responses, unconscious pre-destination, and the self-image.
Those are the main two...but there are other planetary signs:
Mercury sign: SAGITTARIUS
Mercury represents communication, Cartesian and logical spirit.
Venus sign: CAPRICORN
Venus represents an interest for emotions and values, exchange and sharing with others.
Mars sign: CANCER
Mars represents the desire for action and physical energy.
Jupiter sign: LIBRA
Jupiter represents expansion and grace.
Saturn sign: AQUARIUS
Saturn represents contraction and effort.
Uranus sign: CAPRICORN
Uranus represents individual liberty, egoistic liberty.
Neptune sign: CAPRICORN
Neptune represents transcendental liberty, non-egoistic liberty.
Pluto sign: SCORPIO
Pluto represents transformations, mutations and elimination.
Then you guys have what's called the NORTH and SOUTH nodes which are opposing matches. So if you have a north node in one zodiac sign it will always be a certain zodiac for the south. So there are 6 pairs you could possibly achieve because they are attached to one another.
North node: SAGITTARIUS
The North Node is an indicator of the challenges that we will face in our life, and the lessons these challenges will teach us. It is associated with the experiences we must work on in order to grow spiritually. The North Node often presents to us circumstances and experiences that are unfamiliar, and may even make us feel uncomfortable.
South node: GEMINI
The South Node reflects what we are comfortable with, challenges we have overcome and lessons that we have learnt. It is through this that the South Node further indicates the way in which we are able to deal with future problems that we face.
Then at least for the purposes of not going SUPER crazy into details, I'd say the next important thing to know is the 12 houses of the zodiac.
1st house aka Ascendant/Rising sign: SCORPIO
House I is the area of self identity. The ascendant is a symbol of how one acts in life. It is the image of the personality as seen by others, and the attitude that one has towards life.
2nd house: CAPRICORN
House II is the area of material security and values. It rules money and personal finances, sense of self-worth and basic values, personal possessions.
3rd house: AQUARIUS
House III is the area of social and intellectual learning.
4th house: PISCES
House IV is the area of home, family, roots, and deep emotions/sense of self-worth.
5th house: ARIES
House V is the area of creative self-expression, romance, entertainment, children, and gambling.
6th house: TAURUS
House VI is the area of learning by material transaction.
7th house: TAURUS
House VII is the area of one-to-one relationships such as marriage and partnership, and of social and intellectual action.
8th house: CANCER
House VIII is the area of emotional security and of security of the soul.
9th house: LEO
House IX is the area of learning that shapes the identity.
10th house aka Mid-Heaven: VIRGO
House X is the area of material action. The Mid-heaven represents the work one will do in his life, the place one will take in the world of society. It becomes more important as one grows older
There is obviously more than this but I don't think my brain could handle going any further. I don't think y'all need to either but the fact you have so many variables to check out means you can have a look for yourselves to see how accurate this stuff really is.
Just follow the link provided above and you will get a detailed chart that explains what your positioning in each house/planet means etc. It's a good link.
