What's so special about zodiac signs?

That is where zodiac signs come into play, helping us discover things about ourselves that we may otherwise have overlooked. Horoscope signs tell us about our personality, character and emotions, all things that help us understand ourselves and our relationships with others.

The word zodiac is used in astronomy and astrology to refer to the band of sky over which the sun, moon, and planets move–as seen from Earth, at least. The zodiac contains a number of constellations, and the sun (or other celestial body) is said to be “in” a constellation when it moves into the portion of the zodiac that includes that constellation. The zodiac can be traced back to ancient civilizations, such as the ancient Greeks and Romans, who believed the position of heavenly bodies could be used to predict the future. For them, astronomy and astrology were one and the same–which is definitely not the case anymore!
