Uzone.id — One of the key elements in astrology is the sun sign, which represents your core personality. When people reference “your sign”, they’re talking about your sun sign.
The sun sign is the key to most of the astrology that you read in magazines and the zodiac sign when you were born.
As astrologer Chani Nicholas said, “Your sun sign represents the energy you bring into the world and the most consistent part of your personality.”
To get a more accurate understanding of your astrological profile, astrologers use birth charts also known as a natal chart, which is a map of the sky at the exact moment of your birth time and day.
It takes all the planets, including the sun, moon, and rising sign, at that specific time to find out about your birth chart so it provides a comprehensive picture of your personality, strengths, weaknesses, and life path.
“Astrology uses a geocentric view of the planets, meaning that while we know scientifically the earth is orbiting around the sun, in astrology, the earth is the center of the universe, and the sun is viewed as if it’s orbiting the earth,” claimed Tali Edut, one half of The AstroTwins, ELLE’s resident astrologers.
Now that you understand the basics of sun signs and how to calculate them, let’s explore each sign’s unique personality.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
If you’re an Aries, you’re a big personality with a bit of an impulsive streak. You might find Aries jumping into new projects or speaking up when no one else will.
That’s because Aries are known for their fiery spirit. Bold, brave, and sometimes a little impatient, they love to take the lead.
An Aries will channel their energy into things they’re passionate about. Oh one note for Aries, please practice patience more, it’ll make your goals easier to catch.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Taurus, symbolized by the bull, is the epitome of stability and empathy. If you need someone reliable and there for you, Taurus is your go-to. But they also love the finer things in life, like cozy blankets and good food. They also love to create a comfortable space and environment.
“Your unwavering work ethic balances your desire for creature comforts, making you a dependable ally in any circumstance,” said Edut.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
Geminis are curious and adaptable. Edut said, “If you have your sun in Gemini, you’re a natural communicator brimming with curiosity and versatility.”
They’re always up for learning something new and chatting about everything under the sun. Geminis can get bored easily, so they’re always looking for something to keep them entertained, that’s why they’re always multitasking or exploring a variety of interests.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Cancers are the nurturers of the zodiac. Deeply emotional and caring, they’re the ones you call when you need a shoulder to cry on. But, they can also be sensitive and protective.
Being ruled by the moon gives you a strong intuition, making you adept at reading people, picking up on subtle context, and understanding the room’s emotional atmosphere.
Cancers are all about home and family. They want to feel secure and create that same feeling for others.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Leos are the stars of the show, and they love it! Leo is ruled by the sun, which means this is the placement where Leo is its most powerful.
“Confidence isn’t just something you feel about yourself; it’s something other people can see as well,” said Edut.
Known for their confidence and charisma, Leo lights up any room they walk into. They’re generous and protective of their loved ones. If you’re a Leo, remember that while it’s great to shine, it’s also important to let others have their moment too.
Though Leo feels right at home in the spotlight, you need to learn when to take a step back and allow others a moment to shine.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Virgos are perfectionists motivated to find practical outlets for their skills, talents, and abilities.
They love to help others and are always looking for ways to improve. They might seem reserved, but once you get to know them, they’re incredibly caring.
Virgos like being in control of dictating and organizing, but you can sometimes risk seeming bossy or inflexible.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libras are all about balance, harmony, and beauty. They’re social and love being around people, often acting as the peacemaker in groups.
“As someone who craves balance, you often find yourself taking on the role of mediator in group settings, relationships, or even at work, making you highly likable and easy to get along with,” said Edut.
They’re also into aesthetics and enjoy anything that brings a sense of elegance. Libras often weigh all sides before making a decision, which can sometimes make them appear indecisive. But, they just want to make the fairest choice.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Scorpios are intense, passionate, and fiercely loyal. They don’t open up easily, but when they do, it’s deep and meaningful. They’re driven by a need for truth and aren’t afraid to dig deep, even if it’s uncomfortable.
As astrologer Annabel Gat shared, “Scorpios have a transformative energy. They thrive on change and are constantly evolving.”
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
Sagittarians are adventurous and love exploring new horizons, whether it’s traveling to new places or learning new things. They’re optimistic and open-minded, always seeking the bigger picture.
If you’re a Sagittarius, use that adventurous spirit to explore different cultures and experiences. It will help you grow and see the world in a new light!
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorns are ambitious, disciplined, and love setting goals. They’re the ones who work hard to climb the ladder and achieve their dreams. They can seem serious, but underneath, they have a strong sense of humor and loyalty.
“Capricorns are all about structure and responsibility,” said astrologer Aliza Kelly. “They build slowly but surely, and they’re always thinking about the future.”
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Aquarians are all about change and innovation. They love thinking outside the box and are always looking for ways to make the world a better place. They can be a little unpredictable, but their hearts are in the right place. If you’re an Aquarius, don’t be afraid to embrace your quirks. They’re what make you stand out and help you connect with others.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Pisces are the artists of the zodiac, known for their creativity, intuition, and empathy. They often feel deeply and have a natural ability to connect with others. They love escaping into their imagination and can be very spiritual.
Astrologer Mecca Woods said, “Pisces are compassionate souls. They absorb the energy around them and can be very intuitive about what others are feeling.”
Your sun sign is just one part of your astrological chart, but it offers a glimpse into your personality. Whether you’re a confident Leo or a dreamy Pisces, understanding your sun sign can help you discover more about yourself. It’s like a cosmic cheat sheet to what makes you, you!
