The stars have been looked at for information since the Babylon period. 12 constellations in the sky, representing the 12 months gave rise to 12 zodiac signs. These signs are also associated with the different planets. Each sign occupies a sector of the sky which makes up 30° of the ecliptic.

Astrology has 2 branches- Western astrology and Vedic astrology. While Western Astrology uses the Tropical Zodiac to determine your particular zodiac sign, Vedic Astrology uses Sidereal Zodiac. Hence, when consulting an astrologer, you should know which system they follow.

Consult our expert astrologers on Astroyogi.com to get to know which zodiac sign you actually are, and what traits and qualities underlie your personality.

Many astrologers argue that people born on the first two and last two days of any zodiac sign may not have the personality traits of only one zodiac. The time of your birth, hence, plays a vital role in getting a more accurate birth chart. You could find your zodiac sign online on the various sites available, but they may lack accuracy and may not provide a detailed and personalized analysis.
