Vedic Astrology believes that the planetary combination as formed at a particular time impacts the way of life of different people in different ways. The difference in the nature of impact depends upon the Zodiac Sign of a person. Zodiac as depicted through its literal meaning refers to ‘circle of life’. Vedic Astrology considers the existence of twelve Zodiac Signs which have been segmented at an equal angle of 30 degree of celestial longitude from each other, starting from the Zodiac Sign of Aries. Indian Astrology associates Zodiac Signs on the basis of constellations. The twelve Zodiac Signs as considered by astrology in the established order are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.
Deciding Zodiac Sign
Zodiac Sign of a person is determined on the basis of the time, day, and date of the birth of a person. Vedic Astrology believes existence as something which is constantly changing, and thus dynamic in nature. Each moment which passes through holds a certain set of planetary combination, which is decisive in deciding the Zodiac Sign as well as fate of a person.
Different Aspects of Zodiac Sign
Zodiac Sign as drawn for a person is ruled by an astrological planet. The astrological planet ruling a Zodiac Sign is considered as the ruler of the Zodiac Sign. Other than this, different astrological planets pass through each Zodiac Sign and reside there for a certain time. The nature association as developed in between the Zodiac Sign and the planets results in creating either a good impact or an ill effect. Also, each of the Zodiac Signs is associated to a certain time period, and all those born within that time period is considered to be allied with the relative Zodiac Sign.
