If you’ve ever broken up with someone because your signs just weren’t compatible (Gemini and Virgo? As if!), or waited to finalize the lease on a new apartment because Mercury was still retrograde, you know that the stars wield serious power.
But you don’t have to be an obsessive astrological chart reader to gain major life insight. Even if you peek at your horoscope for kicks, your sun sign (AKA the zodiac sign that’s aligned with your birthday) provides fascinating—and fun—intel around your personality, mood, career, relationship, and even health.
