Astrology is a huge thing to learn - especially if you want to learn the sign for each planet in your natal chart. However, we can all start somewhere. The easiest place to start is with your sun sign. There are 12 signs, and your zodiac is based on where the sun was in the cosmos on the day you were born.
Each sun sign is considered to be who you are on the outside - how you portray yourself to the world. I’m going to give a basic rundown of each zodiac sun sign, their date ranges, some common traits, and some famous people in that zodiac. See if you relate to your sign - and see if the celebrity relates to theirs!
Aquarius * January 20 - February 18 *
With the symbol of the water carrier, those with their Sun in Aquarius have a strong and dominant personality. This sign seeks the truth - no matter where it comes from. They are perfectly capable of seeing both sides to a story - walking in the other person’s shoes, so to say. They can be naturally extroverted and make friends easily, but they tend to have high expectations of their friends. They seek out people who are like them - honest and intellectually inclined.
Common characteristics: humanitarianism, independence, originality, progressiveness, cooperation, brotherhood, diplomacy, altruism
Downside: argumentative, impractical, emotionally-detached, dictatorship, stubborn or closed-minded, rebellious
Celebrity Aquarians: Michael Jordan, Ellen DeGeneres, Ed Sheeran, Harry Styles
Pisces * February 19 - March 20 *
The symbol for Pisces is the two fish - an appropriate representative for a sign that is very well connected to their emotions. Pisceans have a large emotional range and are capable of quickly adapting to their emotional environment. Pisces is a gentle, nurturing, and caring sign. They have a duality to them. On one hand, they are capable of being kind, sensitive, and understanding. On the other, they like to keep their emotions hidden and focus on their own inner journey.

Cancer * June 21 - July 22*
Cancer is very much like the crab that represents it. Cancers tend to have a home-loving nature and spend a lot of time hiding in their shell and finding that inner comfort. Their home is their fortress, and they are not as outgoing as some other signs. They tend to be shy, however, when around the right people, a Cancer can open up and let their personality shine. They tend to be strong-willed and like things done their own way.

They love to be the center of attention and, with their enthusiasm and energy, they often are. Leos tend to think of themselves as the center of the universe due to their need to have the attention. They love to give without asking first because they always assume that what they have to offer is needed. They are a generous sign and a natural-born leader.

The innocence of the virgin represents the Virgo due to their delicate and sensitive nature. However, Virgos also can be picky and critical of those around them. They tend to hide their emotions and suppress natural kindness, but deep down, they are warm and loving. When it comes to approaching situations, they tend to choose the more practical and logical approach, lending to their success. Although they may wear a facade of coldness, they are kind-hearted good people once you get to know them - if you can make it past their walls.
