Before I begin, I must make you understand that I do not limit a person’s success or potential to the movement of the sun or whatever. With that said, we can proceed.
I am writing this in support of my new interest and love for zodiac signs. To a certain extent, the signs of the zodiac are significant. Most of my friends are surprised that I believe in something so illogical, they say it’s not like me to do so. If you are reading this, then you are in the right place to understand the mystery behind my relationship with Zodiac.
I had heard a lot about Zodiac, especially in relation to Temperaments and believe me, I was not interested in the slightest, I am much more scientific to believe in those things. A few weeks ago, I was surfing the net, I was doing research on one topic and things led me to another, the net came to stereotypes and one of the reasons given as the cause was “… BELIEF IN ILLUSIONS LIKE ZODIAC SIGNS…”, the author went on to state that “…millions, if not billions, of people believe in the signs of the Zodiac.” He didn’t need any more compulsion. The question was, how could something so deceitful have so many believers?
I delved into the world of the zodiac, I verified the belief that the period in which a person was born determines some things about a person, basically the temperament. I just smirked. I went straight to my birthday and they ‘said’ I was a Sagittarius. I started reading the attributes, and after much skepticism, I knew that I had found a new ally, I tried to fight it, but it did not advance. How could my birthday determine anything about me? Not to mention that the proposals are so correct! In the end, I was defeated, I had become one of the followers, but it was still not illogical.
Until that time, it should be noted that he had not checked the origin of the belief. I thought the rules were set for everyone born within that period. The facts were all too true! 100% accurate. I was not prepared for anything contradictory, I have never felt so understood in my life, if the zodiac had been human, I would have declared him as my best friend (although I do not believe in singling out the person as the best of the many wonderful friends I have with). that I have been blessed). So I had a discussion with one of my friends, psychology is his course of study at university. He asked a series of questions, mostly questions that I had asked myself, and produced answers as well. (If he requests it, I will forward the conversation to his email.)
While arguing with him, a question came to my mind: “What about the twins, most of the time they turn out to be totally different?” I immediately felt that he had regained his sanity. I left the conversation and went back to Encarta-Microsoft Student 2009, to verify the origin of Zodiac, and all the other reasons why I had to be illogical. And most importantly, knowing why it was 100% accurate about me. I will provide the result below;
Zodiac
Zodiac, imaginary belt on the celestial sphere, extending about 8° on either side of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun between the stars. The width of the zodiac was originally determined to include the orbits of the Sun and Moon and the five planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) known to ancient people. The zodiac is divided into 12 sections of 30° each, which are called the signs of the zodiac. Beginning with the vernal equinox and then moving east along the ecliptic, each of the divisions is named after the constellation situated within its boundaries in the 2nd century BC.
The names of the zodiac signs are Aries, the Ram; Taurus, the Bull; Gemini, the Twins; Cancer, the Crab; Leo, the Lion; Virgo, the Virgin; Libra, the Balance; Scorpio, the Scorpion; Sagittarius, the Archer; Capricorn, the Goat; Aquarius, the Water Bearer; and Pisces, the Fishes. Due to the precession of the equinoxes on the ecliptic, a cycle of 26,000 years, the first point of Aries recedes about 1° in 70 years, so that the sign of Aries today is in the constellation of Pisces. In about 24,000 years, when the retrogression has completed the entire 360° circuit, the zodiacal signs and the constellations will coincide again. See Astronomy.
Zodiac signs are believed to have originated in Mesopotamia as early as 2000 BC. The Greeks adopted the symbols of the Babylonians and passed them on to other ancient civilizations. The Egyptians assigned other names and symbols to the zodiacal divisions. The Chinese also adopted the division of 12, but called the signs rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, and pig. Regardless, the Aztec people devised a similar system.

Then I went to see also Astrology and separate articles on zodiac signs.
In the end, I was able to deduce the illogical aspect of my new ally. It wasn’t so illogical after reading about the other signs: the Sun, the Moon, the planets and the stars, and the belief that they correspond to events on earth. And by testing it on every ‘normal person’ around me, I have been able to prove the efficacy of Zodiac and its relatives, at least for me.
I may one day laugh at myself after reading this, but for now, I LOVE ZODIAC!
