The zodiac is made up of twelve constellations and signs, dividing the sky into twelve sections. These pieces of the cosmos are ruled by the constellation they are affiliated with, forming each member of the zodiac. These twelve sections are further defined by the elements they are affiliated with, and the planets they are ruled by.
For example, the sun travels through each sign throughout the year, marking significant shifts that occur about every thirty days. However, we also see change occur as other planets and the moon soar through our galaxy, enriching our lives with a variety of challenges, blessings, and emotional movement.
The sign any given planet is placed under will give us insight around how that celestial bod is acting in the moment, providing a map for the energy we are to contend with throughout the day.
