How many zodiac signs are there?

Twelve, in order: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces. Each profile has dates, element, modality, and domicile ruler.

Do the table dates apply every year?

Dates use the tropical zodiac on the Gregorian calendar (Sun in sign). Anyone born on a cusp may have the Sun in the neighboring sign depending on year and time: for a precise placement use the natal chart.

Is this the same as today's horoscope?

No. This page is an evergreen index: dates, symbols, and traits. The daily horoscope reads the current sky with Moshier ephemeris.

Are the profiles a prediction?

No. They are symbolic-tradition profiles, original prose by the Aurapure team. Not a verified classical treatise.

Quick answer

The 12 zodiac signs divide the solar year into twelve periods: Aries from March 21 to April 19, Taurus from April 20 to May 20, and so on through Pisces (February 19 – March 20). Each sign has an element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water), a modality (Cardinal, Fixed, Mutable), and a domicile ruler. Here you find dates, symbols, and links to full profiles.
