Set Zodiac Sign

A zodiac sign is one of the twelve zodiac signs, also known as star signs or sun signs, which are based on the 12 constellations that the sun passes through during the year. In Western astrology, these signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign is associated with a specific set of personality traits and characteristics. The term "zodiac" comes from the Greek word zōdiakos, meaning "circle of animals." In Hebrew, a zodiac sign is called סימן מזל (siman mazal). In Spanish, it is signo del zodiaco, in French, signe du zodiaque, and in German, Sternzeichen.
