Understanding Your Zodiac Sign

This is a general, educational overview of the twelve zodiac signs — not a personalised reading. A personalised horoscope needs your exact birth details worked out by an astrologer; get one prepared for you with our Kundli report.

Each of the twelve signs is associated with an element (fire, earth, air or water) and a set of broad tendencies — Aries with initiative, Taurus with steadiness, Gemini with curiosity, and so on through the zodiac. These are wide brushstrokes, meant as a starting point for reflection rather than a fixed prediction.

Traditionally, your sign is read alongside the position of the Moon and the ascendant at your exact time and place of birth, which is why two people born under the same sign can still have quite different charts — that finer detail is what a full Kundli captures.
