How to Figure your true zodiac sign

Zodiac is an invented band in the universe that is centered on the ecliptic. The ecliptic is the perceptible pathway of the sun across the heavens. It includes the obvious course of every one of the planets and is separated into 12 constellations or what is commonly called “zodiac signs.” If you want to know how to figure your true zodiac sign, you may be interested to know that you have more than one true zodiac sign. Astrologers calculate the zodiac signs differently around the world. There are three main types of astrology: Western, Indian and Chinese.

These twelve animals are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit (or hare), dragon, snake, horse, sheep (or goat), monkey, rooster, dog, and pig (or boar).
