What Is Astrology, Exactly?
Astrology is the study of the effects of the sun, moon, and planets on our lives. It's been around for thousands of years – scholars in ancient India, Greece, Rome, and Mexico all looked to the stars – and people today turn to astrology to learn more about themselves.

Astrology is the study of the effects of the sun, moon, and planets on our lives. It's been around for thousands of years – scholars in ancient India, Greece, Rome, and Mexico all looked to the stars – and people today turn to astrology to learn more about themselves.
There are many different kinds of astrology, including Western, Hindu, and Chinese. Our Zodiac jewelry is based on Western astrology, which focuses on charts called horoscopes – a picture of the sun, moon, and planets at the time of a person's birth.
While astrology is no longer considered a science, many people around the world believe in it, and even skeptics enjoy checking their horoscope out of lighthearted curiosity. Who knows what the stars might have to say?
Zodiac jewelry is a stylish, playful way to express your personality.
And What's a Zodiac?
The Zodiac refers to the apparent path of the sun in the sky over the course of the year, starting with the spring equinox. An astrological chart is divided into 12 equal sections (called houses), each ruled by a different sign.
The first house of the Zodiac, for example, is ruled by the sign Aries. The second house is ruled by Taurus, and so on through the twelfth house, which is ruled by Pisces.

Your Zodiac sign (or sun sign) is the sign the sun appeared in at the time of your birth. While most people know their sun sign, astrology also tracks where the moon and other planets were at the time of your birth. (It can get complicated.)
Zodiac Signs
According to astrology, each Zodiac sign is associated with certain characteristics and personality traits. Of course, not everyone born under a certain sign will have the same personality, but it's fun to learn what astrology has to say about us. Most people find that their sun sign describes them well in one way or another.
If you've ever read your horoscope, you've probably noticed that the dates for each sign vary. That's because the sun doesn't enter each sign on the same day every year. For example, the sun might enter Virgo on August 22 one year, and on August 23 the next. If you were born on a cusp (the date when the sun changes signs), you might want to find out for sure what your sun sign is. Visit alabe.com, fill in your birth information, and get your answer.

Your Zodiac sign, or sun sign, is the sign the sun appeared in at the moment of your birth. Astrologers believe that a person's Zodiac sign determines their general personality and approach to life. It's just one part of your astrological profile, however – a complete horoscope will show which signs the moon and planets occupy in your chart.
Contrary to popular belief, everybody has only one sun sign, because the sun can't occupy two signs at once. To find out where the sun was at the moment of your birth, visit alabe.com for your complete birth chart.
