Signs are the part of astrology that just about everyone knows. What's more, people who are unfamiliar with astrology, often equate it with the twelve signs. This is also the reason why many people reject astrology as complete nonsense since it makes no sense to categorize people into only twelve different personalities. This statement is, of course, completely accurate - we humans are complex and our Sun sign cannot possibly describe us fully. The signs represent archetypes and do not describe anyone’s personality until we combine their meaning with the meaning of the planets and houses in an individual’s birth chart.

In this chapter, we will first take a look at the components from which the signs are built. A good understanding of these components is important, as the characteristics of each sign are a combination of the components. The second part of the chapter is dedicated to the the basic characteristics of individual astrological signs. The descriptions of the signs are archetypal and do not describe anyone's personality.
