Since the Babylonian era, early astronomers have looked to the stars for meaning and inspiration. While astrology – or “the philosophy of the stars” – originated thousands of years ago, it has evolved into an ever-trending art of divination. Today, astrology enthusiasts believe horoscopes – or, astrological charts – influence our lives and can be interpreted to tell us about ourselves, the present, and even the future. 

Zodiac 101

Your horoscope is read according to your specific Zodiac sign – which is determined by the position of the sun in relation to the earth when you were born. The Zodiac refers to a belt of sky encompassing the sun, moon, and planets. As the Earth moves through the sky in its orbit around the sun, it appears to pass by 12 constellations within the Zodiac. Each of these constellations is associated with a “star sign,” – the foundational elements of astrology that forecast events through the observation and interpretation of celestial bodies:

  • Aries (the ram), March 21 to April 19
  • Taurus (the bull), April 20 to May 20
  • Gemini (the twins), May 21 to June 20
  • Cancer (the crab), June 21 to July 22
  • Leo (the lion), July 23 to August 22
  • Virgo (the maiden), August 23 to September 22
  • Libra (the scales), September 23 to October 22
  • Scorpio (the scorpion), October 23 to November 21
  • Sagittarius (the archer), November 22 to December 21
  • Capricorn (the goat), December 22 to January 19
  • Aquarius (the water bearer), January 20 to February 18
  • Pisces (the fish), February 19 to March 20

Each sign is believed to possess a unique set of traits and associations. Additionally, these 12 signs are broken out into “triplicities,” or four elements, with a unique set of traits: 

  • Air (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) – Intellectual, social, logical, and rational.
  • Fire (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) – Passionate, bold, charismatic, creative, charming, confident, and intense.
  • Water (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) – Sensitive, intuitive, deep, imaginative, loyal, and compassionate.
  • Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) – Grounded, reliable, honest, patient, and practical.

For those who read their daily horoscopes regularly and feel a strong connection to the Zodiac, embracing the qualities and characteristics of your sign is an empowering endeavor. If you’re a believer in the powers of the Zodiac, horoscope-inspired jewelry is a meaningful choice. Need a little inspo?
