Have you ever read your horoscope and thought, "Wow, that’s so me," or felt like it matched your mood that day?

According to astrologer Aliza Kelly (via Allure), that's no coincidence.

Every human being has a zodiac sign based on the month, date, and time they were born. Your zodiac sign (or sun sign) reveals details about when you were born, but also tells a story about who you are as a person, including your fears, flaws, strengths, weaknesses, and how compatible you are with others.

"Over the centuries, each sign has developed its own associations, including myths, animals, and colors, and its own characteristics. Every sign is illuminated by its point of view, complete with powerful strengths and exhausting weaknesses," Kelly explained.

Your sign is determined by "the position the sun occupied at your exact moment of birth" and "represents your core personality, sense of self, basic preferences, romantic compatibility, and how you move through the world."

In astrology, your sun sign is only the beginning. Your birth date also connects you to one of the four elements, Earth, Fire, Air, or Water, which offers further insight into your personality. On top of that, each sign has a modality, Cardinal, Fixed, or Mutable, that unveils even more about your behavior and how you navigate the world.

Now that we know the basics, let's get into the personality traits correlated with your zodiac sign.
