A birth sign is the position where the sun is place d at the time of a person's birth. This is specifically called the sun sign, the birth sign or the astrological sign. The sun generally moves through 12 divisions overall. Each division has a specific name coined for it along with the phase of interval. The 12 signs that are derived are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. The placement of the sun at the time of birth will determine the characteristic traits of an individual. That is why sun signs are also termed as birth signs in most references.



This type of defining technique is not much reliable feel experts due to the non consideration of the position of the other planets and constellations at the time of birth of the individual. When the ascendant placement and the position of other planets too are considered the final or the actual prediction can be made. This kind of Indian astrology will not be based solely on sun signs. Thus relationship between different planets will bring out the actual profile of an individual.
