Tähemärgilised

Tähemärgilised is an Estonian term that translates to "star signs" or "zodiac signs." It refers to the twelve astrological signs of the Western zodiac, each associated with a specific period of the year. These signs are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

In Estonian culture, and in many others, tähemärgilised are believed to represent distinct personality traits, strengths, and weaknesses. Astrologers use the position of celestial bodies at the time of a person's birth, relative to these star signs, to create a birth chart or horoscope. This chart is then interpreted to provide insights into an individual's character, relationships, and potential future.

The concept of tähemärgilised is deeply rooted in ancient Babylonian and Greek astronomy and astrology. Each sign is named after a constellation that the Sun appears to pass through during its apparent yearly journey across the sky. While a scientific basis for astrology is not recognized, it remains a popular subject of interest for many, influencing personal beliefs and discussions about personality and destiny. The understanding and interpretation of tähemärgilised can vary, with some people taking astrological predictions very seriously and others viewing them as a form of entertainment or self-reflection.
