In Western and Vedic Astrology the year is divided into 12 segments, of approximately the same length. The expression Signs of the Zodiac is used to mean the names given to the 12 segments. Each segment is named after the pattern of stars in the part of the sky through which the sun passes during that part of the year. These patterns of stars are said to be either animal or object shaped.

The 12 Signs of the Zodiac are:
- Aries, the Ram: March 21 - April 20
- Taurus, the Bull: April 21 - May 21
- Gemini, the Twins: May 22 - June 21
- Cancer, the Crab: June 22 - July 22
