From the Greek words hõra (meaning time) and scopos (meaning observer), a person’s horoscope sign is determined by the position of the sun, moon and planets during their birth. Some believe that this information reveals a lot about a person’s characteristics, their likes and dislikes, which signs they pair well with, even suitable careers (!)
