Sailors steered by the stars above and the lead line below. Here are all twelve signs with their dates, rulers, and elements, plus the crypto temperament each one is teased for. The sun is in Cancer right now.
How to read this: The astronomy here is real and sourced. The astrology, numerology, and feng shui are folklore and belief, not science, and none of it predicts a market. This is culture, not advice.
What this page answers
The zodiac is twelve 30-degree slices of the sky the sun passes through in a year. Each sign carries a date range, a ruling planet, one of four elements (fire, earth, air, water), and a modality (cardinal, fixed, mutable). It is folklore, not science, and there is a large, very online crypto-astrology subculture, so we give it a dial and a wink.
