ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Zodiac symbols

Alright kiddo, do you know what your birthday is? Every day of the year is special because it's someone's birthday on that day!

Now imagine if each day had its own special symbol, just like you have your own special birthdate. That's what zodiac symbols are!

There are 12 zodiac symbols, one for each month of the year. Each symbol is special because it represents different characteristics or qualities that people born during that month might have.

For example, do you know a person who was born between March 21st and April 19th? Their zodiac symbol is Aries, represented by a ram. People born under Aries might be strong, confident, and a bit stubborn like a ram.

Maybe you know someone born between April 20th and May 20th? Their zodiac symbol is Taurus, represented by a bull. People born under Taurus might be patient, dependable, and hardworking like a bull.

Each zodiac symbol has its own special traits, just like how you and your friends all have different personalities. It's a fun way to learn about astrology and understand different people better!
