Both Western and Vedic astrology employ a zodiac which divides the ecliptic (the apparent path of the Sun through the heavens) into twelve astrological signs of equal length.

A fundamental part of astrology is the belief that space and time (as seen from the earth) are ordered into twelve equal segments or divisions called the zodiac. Each of the twelve individual segments or divisions is known in astrology as a zodiac sign. According to astrological theory, celestial phenomena reflect or govern human activity on the principle of 'as above, so below'. Accordingly, astrologers believe that the Signs of the Zodiac represent twelve basic personality types or characteristic modes of expression.

Since the Moon goddess looks after the garden and the home, your Moon Sign can help you see how and where you ground yourself in your domestic sphere. Are you the gypsy, always picking up and moving? Or do you resist any change in your environment and lose it when somebody wants to trim a branch in the yard?

Some people forget that the moon is our closest celestial neighbor and exerts considerable influence on the earth (tidal influence) and its inhabitants.
