If you are familiar with your Zodiac Sign, or as astrologers call it, your Sun or Star sign, you’ve more than likely heard some characteristics describing it.
The Sun, according to Cafe Astrology:
represents our conscious mind in Astrology. It represents our will to live and our creative life force.
When people ask you what your “Sign” is, they are referring to your Sun Sign.
