With fake news and different conspiracy theories roaming around our country, everything seems to be questionable as to what is reliable or not. It seems as though many are looking for direction as to what can be true, even looking at the stars. Astrology has been used by humans for at least 5000 years, and with the planets and the galaxy being examined daily, horoscopes are told through the alignment of the dark night.

Using the birth date and the exact location of where someone was born, astrologists are said to be able to examine one’s life to see what characteristics that person will obtain in their life. For what is most known (disregarding the rumor of an extra horoscope sign) there are 12 zodiac signs that determine each person’s personality strengths and weaknesses.

So, to start, the 12 signs are broken into four categories; water, earth, fire, and air signs.

Aries – Aries is a fire sign that has been labeled with the characteristics of someone who is very outgoing and has probably done it all.

This unique combination makes the person come off as confusing.

Taurus is an earth sign, and is very protective of who gets close to them. They tend to stay very detached from things that may be harmful or fearful, being more cautious to their surroundings.
