The zodiac belt or zodiac is the celestial path along which the sun, moon and planets move. The sun passes through it during the year, alternately staying for about a month in each of the 12 sectors (zodiac constellations that give names to the signs), into which the zodiac is divided.
The table below shows the signs of the zodiac, broken down by date of birth, as well as their symbols, elements, and patron planets.
Zodiac sign | Symbol | Element | Date of birth |
Aries | ♈ | Fire | Mars |
Taurus | ♉ | Lands | Venus |
Gemini | ♊ | Air | Mercury |
Cancer | ♋ | Water | Луна |
Lev | ♌ | Fire | Sun |
Virgo | ♍ | Lands | Mercury |
Libra | ♎ | Air | Venus |
Scorpio | ♏ | Water | Mars |
Sagittarius | ♐ | Fire | Jupiter |
Capricorn | ♑ | Lands | Saturn |

Note: also sometimes the thirteenth sign of the zodiac stands out separately – Ophiuchus, which is considered non-traditional in Western astrology, falls on the period from November 30 to December 17.
