Tropical Zodiac

The Tropical Zodiac is a system of astrology that divides the sky into 12 equal parts, known as signs, based on the Sun’s apparent path around Earth, called the ecliptic. It begins with Aries at the vernal equinox (spring start), so the signs are aligned with the seasons rather than the actual constellations. This system is most commonly used in Western astrology. Each sign influences personality traits and life themes, with the entire cycle repeating annually. It’s a symbolic framework that connects celestial positions with human characteristics and experiences, emphasizing seasonal change rather than the precise positions of constellations.
