However, if a baby was born on my birthday in , they'd be a Libra no matter what their birth time was — since the sun moved into Scorpio around 10 a. PT on October 23 last year. If you more evidence to prove the importance of a birth time, you can also look to Lana Del Rey as an example. As a summer solstice baby born on the day the sun moved from Gemini to Cancer in , Lana's true sun sign was the subject of speculation by both astrologers and LDR stans for years.
For a while, she was believed to be a Gemini based on a now-deleted Instagram comment posted from her account, pictured in the Tweet below. But in June , Lana officially confirmed on Twitter what we've all been dying to know: She's a Cancer.
That said, if you're born on or close to the date of a sun sign change, you'll want to check your astrological birth chart based on your exact birth date and time to make sure you're really the zodiac sign you think you are — because I don't mean to shake the foundations of your entire horoscope-readin' career, but it might not be what you thought.
This appears to be what happened to Lana Del Rey sometime between and based on the Tweet above, anyway , but I also personally know several self-proclaimed "cusp babies" who only discovered their true sun sign deep into their twenties, after having someone read their birth chart.
Now you know that cusp signs aren't real , and you simply can't be half one sun sign and half another. But if you're born on the day before or after a sun sign change and feel strongly that you do have personality traits from both signs, there might be reason for it — and it's not because you're a "cusper.
Even though there are no such thing as "cusp signs," being born within an extremely close proximity to a sun sign change can be significant — although it has nothing to do with a cusp. What it does have to do with is the degree of the zodiac that the sun was at during your exact time of birth.
In astrology, each zodiac sign has 30 degrees 0 through 29 , and as the sun travels through the sign, it moves from degree to degree. The Twelfth House represents privacy, secrets and karma. If your head is spinning right now, just pay attention to your first, fourth, seventh and tenth house. The interesting thing about houses is they may reveal or confirm your strengths and weaknesses. It also makes sense that I fall victim to impulsive spending shout-out to my unnecessary — but also necessary — shoe purchase a week ago.
A quick word on your rising sign. Many astrologists say this one is your third most important placement, after your sun and moon signs. As mentioned, your ascendant represents your public identity.
It can often manifest in your clothing or really any decisions related to your outward-facing identity such as hair color, piercings or overall style. It also might symbolize how you respond to your immediate surroundings and your attitude towards everyday life.
Some argue that planets are even more important than houses. In the process of their orbits, planets move in and out of the zodiac constellations, lingering in some much longer than others, depending on the speed and size of their orbits. Which planets are in which constellations? The answer will help you read into your personality even more. Mercury, Venus and Mars are called the inner planets due to their changeability and closeness to Earth.
For that reason, precision with your birth place and time is far more important for these. The signs that fall within the inner-planet placements dictate your core personality traits, needs and desires. For instance, those with earth signs in Mercury Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo will likely be very reasonable, observant people.
Those with air signs in Mercury Gemini, Aquarius, Libra are most effective communicators when writing and public speaking. Fire signs in Mercury Aries, Leo, Sagittarius are passionate and sometimes hot-headed in arguments.
Water signs in Mercury are highly emotional and likely to avoid confrontation. It speaks to the ways in which you express affection, what you look for in a partner and generally what you find attractive.
Mars is the planet of conflict, aggression and action. It represents the physical expression of your initiative and drive — often applicable to both your sex life and ambition in business — and speaks to the ways you channel desire and anger, particularly for those with fire signs in Mars. My Mars placement often reminds me to reflect before I act and channel the balance-seeking energy of the Libra sign.
My Virgo Mercury placement, on the other hand, seems to speak to a detached nature — like my hatred of small talk, maybe. The outer planets — Uranus, Neptune and Pluto RIP — have the longest and widest orbits, which makes them generational placements. The longest an outer planet will stay in the same sign is about 15 years. Uranus rules change, Neptune rules dreams, Pluto rules power.
Your placements can suggest what you work towards in these areas throughout your life. Feel free to use that as a counter-argument the next time someone tells you millennials are useless. Jupiter and Saturn are sometimes called the social planets because their orbits are wider and longer than those of the inner planets, but smaller and shorter than those of the outer planets.
Have a look to this page! Your REAL zodiac sign. The astronomy behind astrology. In this page, I try to give a scientific explanation to these questions and on the way, let you discover your real zodiac sign. I start by introducing some astronomical concepts which I hope will give you some insight about the geometry and the physics of the rotation of the Earth around the Sun and the apparent movement of the objects on the sky.
I like to point out that the main purpose of this page is to show the astronomical facts behind what we call zodiac signs, and I just did it for fun!
It is not my intention to discuss in depth the validity of astrology or its predictions, however I give my personal opinion as an astronomer, if you're interested.
Introduction The zodiac and astrology are common concepts among many countries in the Western civilization. Astrology columns help to sell millions of newspapers and magazines; and are a popular topic in television and radio programs.
Although only a small percentage actually admit to take horoscopes seriously, the vast majority of the people do not know the astronomical concepts behind their birth sign. Astrology originated in Mesopotamia around years ago. The ancient Babylonians performed methodical observations of the night sky and built great observatories where priests would study the skies, and the celestial bodies that they believed controlled life and events on Earth.
In those times, objects in the sky were believed to be affixed to transparent celestial spheres and their motions were thought to be a result of the motion of these spheres as they revolved around the Earth. Groups of bright stars were observed to form prominent patterns in the night sky called constellations, which have been historically ascribed to mythological figures.
The early astronomers recognized that constellations appeared and disappeared with the change of the seasons throughout the course of a year.
In the same way, the Sun, Moon and planets were observed to move in relation to the fixed background of stars, or constellations.
The Earth travels in space as it revolves about the Sun in a planar orbit that is approximately circular. If one drew a line from the center of the Earth through the center of the Sun, that line would "draw" a large plane in the heavens as the Earth orbits the Sun.
This large plane is called the ecliptic plane, as is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1 The ecliptic plane and the ecliptical coordinate system. Figure 2 The equatorial plane, the annual seasons and the equinoxes. Figure 3 The band of the zodiac and the apparent position of the constellations with respect to the Earth-Sun system. Based on their observations of the night sky, ancient astronomers determined that during the daytime, the Sun would appear to "enter" or pass through different constellations throughout the year.
Because of their perspective from Earth, they observed that the Sun, the Moon and all the planets visible with the naked eye seemed to pass in the course of a year through a region in the sky occupied by twelve specific constellations. Those constellations are the ones that we would intersect if we extend the ecliptic plane out into space.
These twelve constellations were called the Zodiac. Many ancient people believed that a person's behavior, emotions, and fate were heavily influenced by the time of that person's birth i.
The zodiac constellations, as envisioned by ancient astronomers, were ascribed specific patterns that resemble the shapes of animals and human beings.
The constellations of the zodiac actually form an imaginary belt in the sky that extends about eight degrees above and below the ecliptic plane as is shown.
