Several outdated trends have seemed to slowly pop back up over 2020 and 2021. These trends range from dances, fashions, hobbies, foods, and more. One major trend that has resurfaced is Astrology. The Oxford definition of Astrology is “the study of the movements and relative positions of celestial bodies interpreted as having an influence on human affairs and the natural world.” 

The main reason for astrology is to direct people to live a certain way, inform the people of the course of their life, and educate people about their traits and characteristics. The 12 Astrological signs are assigned at the time of birth and depend on your birth month. The 12 signs include; Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. 

These 12 signs are split up into 4 different categories including Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. The Fire signs include Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius. The Water signs include Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces. The Earth signs include Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. The Air signs include: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.

Each astrological sign is associated with characteristics and descriptions common to  that sign. 

• Aries, the Fire sign: adventurous, passionate, and spontaneous. 

• Taurus, the Earth sign: intelligent, dependable, hardworking, dedicated, and stubborn. 

• Gemini, the Air sign: gentle, affectionate, curious, adaptable, ability to learn quickly and exchange ideas.

By supplying this information you are then told the position of planets, sun, and moon at the time of your birth.
