Knowing these signs is a great way to learn about yourself, if something explained doesn't match your character yet it's because it has potential but hasn't yet been achieved.
Sun Sign
form of astrology most commonly found in many newspaper and magazine columns. It is a simplified system of astrology which considers only the position of the Sun at birth, which is said to be placed within one of the twelve zodiac signs. This sign is then called the sun sign or star sign of the person born in that twelfth-part of the year.

Has a desire to conciliate conflicting interests, to help even complete opposites to meet somewhere, to find a peaceful solution for a conflict situation, in born diplomats. Balances situations. Picks randomly when given difficult choice after thinking endlessly about it. Relationships are most important in their life, not only their emotional well being even their state of health might depend on how successful they find mutual understanding with their partner.
