Zodiac signs (Hebrew: סימני הזדיאק, Simanei Hazodiac; Arabic: بروج, Burūj; Greek: ζωδιακοί, zōdiakói) are a series of twelve 30-degree sectors that make up the zodiac, which is a circular path in the sky that the Sun, Moon, and planets move across as seen from Earth. In astrology, the zodiac signs are associated with different periods of the year and are believed to influence the personalities and lives of individuals born under each sign. The twelve signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign is linked to specific traits, elements, and other astrological symbols. The concept of zodiac signs originates from Babylonian astronomy and has been developed and refined over centuries, particularly in Hellenistic, Indian, and Western astrology. The term "zodiac" itself comes from the Greek word zōdiakos, meaning "circle of animals."
