Unsolved:Glossary of astrology

From HandWiki
Short description: none

The following is a list of terms associated with astrology,[1] a range of divinatory practices based on the apparent positions of celestial objects.

Air signs
Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra signs[2]
Aquarius
Zodiac sign for people born January 20 through February 18[2]
Aries
Zodiac sign for people born March 21 through April 19[2]
Balsamic Moon

Also Waning crescent.

Occurs about three and a half days before the New Moon.[3][4] Formerly known as the old crescent.[5] The source for its current name is unknown but is widely applied by astrology practitioners.[6][7]
Bestial signs
Zodiac signs that represent animals. The term is not in contemporary use, as the dichotomy of bestial and non-bestial signs has no bearing on interpretation nor does the "beastliness" connotation of the animal sign.[8]
Big Three
An individual's “Sun sign, Moon sign, and Ascendant (Rising sign)”. These three components are considered fundamental in shaping a person’s personality, emotional tendencies, and outward behavior. While the Sun sign is widely recognized in popular astrology, the Moon sign and Ascendant play equally significant roles in an individual’s astrological profile.[citation needed]
