2. ZODIAC: - One of the most important elements of a horoscope is a person’s astrological sign or zodiac sign.

Each segment, or house is named for the constellation it is associated with. The segments of the zodiac do not overlap with their namesake constellations as well as they once did, but most modern astrologists still use the traditional names with the fixed date ranges of the zodiac signs.
