Personality is the collection of qualities and traits that are observed as in character or behaviour distinguishing one person from another. Understanding our own personality helps us to discover our purpose in life, helps to bring out our suppressed desires and wishes and also we learn our strengths and weaknesses. It also helps in knowing the better side our partners and friends and find out the reasons why they behave so differently to a given situation. These personality descriptions are based on sun signs. Your sun sign is determined on the basis of your date of birth.

As the sun travels around the earth once each year, it moves through all twelve signs of the zodiac, spending approximately one month in each sign. The sign that the Sun was transiting at the time of your birth is your Sun Sign. Astrology based upon your sun sign is a generalized outline of your individual astrological characteristics. The Sun is the most important influence in your horoscope and in many ways determines how others view you. However, it does not take into consideration the astrological influence of the other planets and only by studying the entire birth chart can an astrologer begin to get a complete picture of your personality.
