If you want to use astrology to understand yourself and others, you

need to know the astrological basics and what they represent: the 12

signs of the zodiac; the Sun, the Moon, and the planets; and the 12

houses of the horoscope.

zodiac for about a month, those signs are also known as Sun signs. The

following table shows the 12 Sun signs along with their astrological

symbols, their dates, the essential traits associated with them, and their

Astrology holds that the Sun, the Moon, and the planets represent different

facets of who you are and express their energies through the signs that they

occupy in your birth chart. This table shows the astrological symbol for each

of those celestial bodies (plus the Nodes of the Moon and the asteroid Chiron)

and what it represents.

Astrological Houses and What They Mean

Just as the band of sky where the Sun, the Moon, and the planets can be

found is divided into 12 signs, an astrological chart is divided into 12 houses.

Each astrological house influences different areas of your life, as shown in

this table:
