"Zodiac is the name of a band of stars that appears to encircle the earth.
Astrologers (persons who tell fortunes by studying the stars) believe the zodiac
influences the lives of people. Astrologers use a representation of the zodiac
to draw a chart called a horoscope. The chart supposedly reveals a person's
character or future."
"Each sign gets its main characteristics from a
particular planet called its RULING planet. The zodiac also receives some of its
influence from four "substances" called "elements"; AIR, EARTH, FIRE and WATER.
Ancient astrologers believed that all matter was made up of these 4 elements.
Each element has certain qualities that it gives to 3 different signs of the
zodiac. For example, fire--considered forceful and restless--influences Aries,
Leo and Sagittarius"
