Your sun sign is the constellation that occupied the sun on the day you were born. This is the sign that you would look at when you are looking at a tabloid horoscope. This zodiac sign is what usually comes to mind when we think of astrology. There are 12 zodiac signs and each has it’s own “personality.” Your sun sign describes the qualities that you are striving to develop in this lifetime. It is what we think of when we describe our ego. Some people really relate to their sun sign, others relate more to their rising or moon signs, but more on those later…
