Before I start, about how to master zodiac signs I must make you understand that I don't limit
a person's success or potentials to the movement of the sun or whatever. That
noted, we may proceed.
I am writing this in support of my
newly-developed interest and love in/for Zodiac signs. To a reasonable
extent, Zodiac signs are meaningful.
Most of my friends are surprised I believe in something so illogical, they say
it's unlike me to do such. Because I just found interest on how to easily master zodiac signs If you are reading
this, then you are at the right place to understand the mystery behind my
relationship with Zodiac. And how to
easily learn to master zodiac signs
I had heard a lot about Zodiac, especially in relation to
Temperaments and trust me, I wasn't in the least interested, I am much more
scientific to believe in such stuff. Some weeks ago, I was surfing the net, I
was making a research on a topic and things led to the other, the web got to
stereotypes and one of the reasons stated as the cause was "... BELIEF IN
ILLUSIONS SUCH AS ZODIAC SIGNS...
", the author went ahead to state that "... millions, if not
billions, of people believe in Zodiac
signs". I needed no more compulsion. The question was, how could
something so deceitful have so many believers?
I delved into the world of how to master Zodiac signs, I checked the
belief that the period a person was born determines some stuff about a person,
basically temperament. I just smiled scornfully. I went straight up to my
birthday and 'they said' I was a Sagittarian. I started reading the attributes,
and after much skepticism, I knew I had found a new ally, I tried to fight it,
but I was making no progress. How could my birthday determine anything at all
about me? Not to talk of the propositions being this right! In the end, I was
defeated, I had become one of the followers, but I wasn't illogical yet.
Till that moment, it should be
observed that I hadn't checked the origin of the belief. I thought the rules
were fixed for everyone born within that period. The facts were just too true!
100% accurate. I wasn't ready for anything contradictory, I had never felt so
understood in my life, had zodiac signs
been human, I'd have declared it as my best friend (even though I don't believe
in singling on person out as the best of the many wonderful friends I am
blessed with). I then got into an argument with one of my friends, psychology
is his course of study in the university. He asked series of questions, like
why did I suddeny developed love for zodiac
signs and how to master zodiac signs
mostly questions that I had asked myself and produced answers too. (On request,
I will forward the conversation to your email.)
While arguing with him, a question
popped into my head, "What about twins, most times they turn out to be
totally different?" I immediately felt like I had regained my sanity. I
left the conversation and went back to Encarta- Microsoft Student 2009, to
check the origin of Zodiac signs,
and every other reason it had to be illogical. And most importantly, to know
why it was 100% accurate about me. I will supply the result beneath;
The origin of zodiac signs and why
you should master zodiac signs
Zodiac,
imaginary belt in the celestial sphere, extending about 8° on either side of
the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun among the stars. The width of the zodiac signs was determined originally
so as to include the orbits of the Sun and Moon and of the five planets
(Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn) that were known to the people of
ancient times. The zodiac is divided
into 12 sections of 30° each, which are called the signs of the zodiac. Starting with the vernal equinox
and then proceeding eastward along the ecliptic, each of the divisions is named
for the constellation situated within its limits in the 2nd century BC.
The names of the zodiacal signs are
Aries, the Ram; Taurus, the Bull; Gemini, the Twins; Cancer, the Crab; Leo, the
Lion; Virgo, the Virgin; Libra, the Balance; Scorpio, the Scorpion;
Sagittarius, the Archer; Capricorn, the Goat; Aquarius, the Water Bearer; and
Pisces, the Fishes. Because of the precession of the equinoxes about the
ecliptic, a 26,000-year cycle, the first point of Aries retrogrades about 1° in
70 years, so that the sign Aries today lies in the constellation Pisces. In
about 24,000 years, when the retrogression will have completed the entire
circuit of 360°, the zodiacal signs and constellations
will again coincide. See Astronomy.
It is believed that the zodiacal
signs originated in Mesopotamia as early as 2000 BC. The Greeks adopted the
symbols from the Babylonians and passed them on to the other ancient
civilizations. The Egyptians assigned other names and symbols to the zodiacal
divisions. The Chinese also adopted the 12-fold division, but called the signs
rat, ox, tiger, hare, dragon, serpent, horse, sheep, monkey, hen, dog, and pig.
Independently, the Aztec people devised a similar system.

I then went to see also Astrology
and separate articles on the zodiac signs and how to master zodiac signs.
In the end, I was able to deduce the
illogical aspect of my new ally. It wasn't so illogical after reading about the
other signs- the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars, and the belief that they
correspond with events on earth. And testing it on every 'normal person' around
me, I have been able to prove the efficacy of Zodiac signs and its kin, to myself at least.
It's possible that someday, I would
laugh at myself after reading this, but for now, I LOVE ZODIAC!
