Sodiaagimärgid

Sodiaagimärgid, also known as zodiac signs, are twelve equal divisions of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of a year. Each sodiaagimärk represents a specific period and is associated with a particular constellation. In astrology, these signs are believed to influence personality, character, and destiny based on the position of celestial bodies at the time of a person's birth. The traditional sequence of sodiaagimärgid is Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

The concept of sodiaagimärgid originated in ancient Mesopotamia and was later adopted and developed by Greek astrologers. The twelve signs are often depicted as symbols, each with its own ruling planet, element, and modality. Astrologers use the placement of the Sun, Moon, and planets within these signs at the time of birth to create a birth chart, which is interpreted to understand an individual's unique traits and life path. While widely recognized and practiced in many cultures, the scientific validity of astrology and the influence of sodiaagimärgid on human affairs is not supported by empirical evidence. Nevertheless, sodiaagimärgid remain a popular element in popular culture and personal introspection for many.
