For a historical perspective about ancient astrologers and zodiac facts click here.
"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"
