Each year, the Sun passes through these signs. Astrologers analyze the position of the Sun in these signs to determine a person's talents, challenges, and potential for growth.

Astrological Influence of the Zodiac Signs Each of the twelve signs influences specific areas of life, and the Sun's position in these signs at the time of a person's birth plays a key role in shaping their personality, talents, and challenges. This is because:

The Sun represents the core of your identity, your ego, and where you find purpose. It shows your basic character traits and how you express yourself. The Moon reflects your emotional world, intuition, and instincts. The Ascendant (Rising Sign) governs your outer personality, how you appear to others, and your approach to the world. The placement of the Sun in a particular zodiac sign suggests the fundamental qualities of a person’s nature, while the Moon and Ascendant provide deeper insight into their emotional and external selves.

The Sun's Journey Through the Zodiac Over the course of the year, the Sun moves through all twelve zodiac signs. This cycle is roughly 365 days long, which is why the signs are associated with specific time frames in the calendar. The Sun’s journey through the zodiac affects seasonal changes and influences astrological readings.

Spring begins with Aries, marking new beginnings and energetic growth. Summer brings Leo, associated with creativity, vitality, and expression. Autumn starts with Libra, symbolizing balance and reflection. Winter begins with Capricorn, highlighting responsibility and the achievement of long-term goals.
