The word "Zodiac" refers to the formations of celestial creatures seen in the night sky and means "animals" in language. Every month, the Sun appears to journey through a great circle known as the "Zodiac Belt". This movement channels energy from different constellations and transmits celestial radiations to Earth. As the planets revolve around the Sun, their individual cycles are influenced by these movements. The Zodiac is comprised of 12 signs, which can be divided into masculine and feminine, positive and negative, or active and passive categories. Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, and Aquarius make up the masculine signs, while Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and Pisces are the feminine signs. To remember them, use the following jingle:

The Ram, the Bull, the Heavenly Twins
And now the Crab, the Lion shines,
The Virgin and the Scales.
The Scorpion, Archer and The Goat.
The Man that bears the Watering Pot,
And Fish with glittering tails.
