Tähemärgust

Tähemärgust is an Estonian term that translates to "star sign" or "zodiac sign." It refers to one of the twelve divisions of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of a year. In astrology, each of these twelve signs is associated with a specific period of the year and is believed to influence a person's personality, characteristics, and destiny based on their birth date.

The twelve tähemärgust are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Each sign is ruled by a planet and has a unique set of traits attributed to it. For example, Aries is often described as courageous and impulsive, while Pisces is seen as compassionate and artistic. Astrologers use these signs, along with the positions of other celestial bodies at the time of a person's birth, to create a birth chart or horoscope, which is then interpreted to provide insights into an individual's life. The concept of tähemärgust is a fundamental element of Western astrology and has been practiced for centuries. While widely popular, it is considered a pseudoscience by the scientific community, lacking empirical evidence to support its claims.
