Zodiac 101: What You Need to Know Before We Dive In
Before we get into the juicy details of each sign, let's quickly cover the basics so you're not totally lost!
Your zodiac sign (also called your sun sign) is determined by where the sun was hanging out in the sky the moment you were born.
The zodiac is a cosmic calendar divided into 12 sections, each lasting about a month.
Think of it as the Universe's way of categorizing personality types, but way more fun and infinitely more mystical.
Now, here's where it gets interesting: each sign belongs to one of four elements (fire, earth, air, or water) and one of three modalities (cardinal, fixed, or mutable).
Don't worry if that sounds like too “astro-ish” right now, we'll break it all down later!
Now, Let's jump into the star of the show, the 12 zodiac signs themselves!

But Wait! There’s More to Your Sign Than You Think…
Your zodiac sign has something called a "modality," basically how it handles change and gets things done. Think of it as your sign's default approach to life!
Once you figure out your modality, you'll probably have one of those "ohhhh, that's why I do that!" moments. It's like finally understanding your own patterns.
Ready to see which one you are?
Cardinal Signs: (Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn)
"Cardinal" means "most important" or "first," and that's exactly what these signs do! They start new things.
They're the ones who say "Let's do this!" and actually begin projects, relationships, or adventures.
Fixed Signs: (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius)
"Fixed" means staying in place. These signs are amazing at maintaining and sticking with things. Once they commit to something, they see it through.
They're your most loyal friends, the ones who finish what they start, and who provide stability when everything feels chaotic.
Mutable Signs: (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces)
"Mutable" literally means "able to change," like a chameleon changes colors!
These signs are incredibly adaptable and can shift between different situations, friend groups, or interests easily.
They're comfortable with change and transition. They can be serious with work friends, silly with family, deep with one person, and light with another, all authentically them!
