“So in the astrology chart, it’s also central to who you are. “The sun is literally the center of the universe,” Edut says. (This is where the concept of say, Aries season, comes from-the weeks of the year the sun is in Aries.) The sun moves in the same order, changing signs about every four weeks. “So if you were born in early January, the sun is in the Capricorn part of the sky every year,” she says. The circle the sun makes around the earth is then split up into 12 slices of the zodiac, so wherever the sun was in the sky when you were born gives you your sun sign. As for how sun signs are determined, Edut explains that astrology uses a geocentric view of the planets, meaning that while we know scientifically the earth is orbiting around the sun, in astrology, the earth is the center of the universe, and the sun is viewed as if it’s orbiting the earth. “The sun sign is the key to most of the astrology that you read in magazines, newspapers,” Edut says. When people reference “your sign,” they’re talking about your sun sign.
