Zodiac signs and horoscope: everything about the 12 signs, week and month
You read it on the tram, check it secretly before a date, or send it to your friends with the text ‘this is so you‘: the horoscope. On this page, you’ll find everything in one place. What zodiac sign you are, what distinguishes the twelve signs, how sun sign, moon sign, and ascendant work together, and where you read your personal prediction every week.
What is a horoscope?
A horoscope is a prediction or characterization based on the position of the sun, moon, and planets, linked to the twelve zodiac signs in astrology. When people think of a horoscope, they usually think of their sun sign, the zodiac sign in which the sun was at the moment you were born. You determine this with your birth date, and it is also the sign on which your horoscope in the newspaper or on your phone is based.
Horoscopes come in different forms. A daily horoscope looks at one day, a weekly horoscope at the upcoming seven days, and a yearly horoscope at the big lines of the year. Some readers mainly seek answers to love questions, while others want to know what their workweek looks like. At Amayzine, you can read them all with a wink: nice to think about, fun to talk about, and not a scientifically proven prediction.
What zodiac sign am I? The 12 zodiac signs in order
Your zodiac sign depends on your birth date. Look up your birth month and day in the Period column in the table below. The zodiac signs follow each other throughout the year, starting with Aries on March 21. For each sign, you can also see the element, the planet, and the quality. Want to read more about your sign? Then choose your zodiac sign at the top of the page.

Then a birth chart with your birth time provides certainty. The planets in the table are the modern rulers. In classical astrology, Mars belongs to Scorpio, Saturn to Aquarius, and Jupiter to Pisces.
All zodiac signs in brief
Each sign has its own character, strengths, and pitfalls. Below you can read in a few sentences what to expect from each zodiac sign. Want to know what the coming days will bring for your sign? Then click through to the weekly horoscope.
Aries
Aries is the first of the twelve and behaves accordingly: first on the scene, without reading the manual first. You are direct, energetic, and competitive. This works when something needs to happen, but less so when someone else is trying to speak. Patience is not your greatest strength, enthusiasm is.
- Love
- Aries falls quickly and hard. Single or not: you take the first step and don’t like games. In a relationship, you need someone who can keep up with your pace and challenges you, because butterflies disappear for you when things get too tame.
- Work & money
- You are the colleague with ideas and initiative. You love to start something new, but finishing and details are less your thing. A personal project or a role with a lot of freedom suits you. You are generous and sometimes impulsive with money.
- Strength
- Courage, decisiveness, and enthusiasm.
- Pitfall
- Impatience. Sometimes you say something faster than you mean it.
- Goes well with
- Leo, Sagittarius, Gemini

Everything about the Pisces horoscope
The four elements and three qualities
The twelve zodiac signs are divided into four elements and three qualities. This suddenly helps you understand why certain signs resemble each other so much.
Fire, earth, air, and water
Energetic, enthusiastic, and proactive.
Practical, reliable, and realistic.
Social, curious, and communicative.
Sensitive, intuitive, and emotional.
Cardinal, fixed, and mutable
They initiate things and take the initiative.
They persevere and hold on to what they know.
They adapt easily and love variety.
Sun sign, moon sign, and ascendant
Your zodiac sign is just part of the story. Astrologers look at three important points in your birth chart:
The zodiac sign that most people think of. It represents your core and your basic character, and it is therefore also the sign of your horoscope.
The sign in which the moon was on your day of birth. The moon changes signs approximately every 2.5 days and represents your feelings, your needs, and how you respond to stress. Read here what your moon sign is and how to calculate it.
The rising sign: the sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. It represents the first impression you make. You need your birth time and place, as it changes sign approximately every two hours.
Want to calculate your horoscope? With your birth date, time, and place, a free birth chart tool will reveal your sun sign, moon sign, and ascendant in just a few seconds.
Horoscope by period: week and year
Every Monday, the new weekly horoscope goes online for all twelve signs at once. You can read what to expect in love, work, friendship, and more.
Do you want to know what the year has in store for you? In the yearly horoscope, you can read about love, work and money, friendship, health, and style for each sign.
Love and compatibility
Which signs are compatible? As a rule of thumb, fire and air rarely clash (fire needs air to burn), and earth and water often understand each other without many words. Yet, no one is just their sun sign: moon sign and ascendant make the picture much more nuanced. Read more about love and the stars:
- These constellations suit Scorpio best (and these don't)
- These zodiac signs have a hard time with heartbreak
- These two zodiac signs get into arguments with each other the fastest
- This sex position suits your zodiac sign best
Retrogrades and planets
When a planet goes retrograde, it appears to move backward from Earth for a while. Astrologically, this is considered a period to reflect, revise, and take things more slowly. The most well-known example is Mercury retrograde, which occurs a few times a year and lasts about three weeks each time. During this period, communication, technology, and travel may experience more hiccups. Read what Mercury retrograde is all about and how to deal with it.
Nu: dit najaar is het een dubbele retrograde. Venus staat sinds 3 oktober retrograde, Mercurius sinds 24 oktober in Schorpioen. Venus gaat maar ongeveer eens per achttien maanden achteruit, dus dat de twee samenvallen is bijzonder: astrologen noemen het hét afrekenseizoen van 2026 voor liefde en geld. Op 13 november gaan ze allebei weer direct, al duurt de nawerking van Mercurius tot 30 november. Op 26 oktober stond bovendien de volle maan in Stier, recht tegenover de zon in Schorpioen.

What is the difference between a constellation and a horoscope?
A zodiac sign is the sign in which the sun was on your birthday. A horoscope is the prediction or characterization that belongs to that sign, for example for today, this week, or this year.
What is the difference between sun sign, moon sign, and ascendant?
Your sun sign represents your core, your moon sign represents your emotional life, and your ascendant represents the first impression you make. All three together provide a more complete picture than your zodiac sign alone.
