About Zodiac Signs
In Vedic Astrology, the sign in which the Moon is placed at the time of birth is known to be the zodiac of that person. And, in Western Astrology, the zodiac sign in which Sun is placed at the time of birth is meant to be the zodiac of that person.
The Rashis (zodiac signs) form the cosmic background through which the Grahas move. At the time of birth, each Graha will be found in one of the twelve Rashis.
The Rashi will have a great impact on the condition of the Graha (favourable or unfavourable), as well as its unique qualities. Unlike the tropical zodiac that is used in Western astrology, the Rashis are based on the position of the actual stars.
If one compares the nine Grahas to lights that radiate according to our level of awareness in the areas of life explained above, then the Rashis would be like the lamps the lights shine in.
The colour, shape and qualities of the lamp will have a significant impact on the light inside it, and could help the light get more focused and useful, or it could obstruct the light and discolour it.

Traits of zodiac signs
Traits of the Zodiac Signs
Each Rashi has a symbol associated with it. The symbol is a visualisation of the nature of the sign, and helps in understanding the qualities and tendencies of the sign in question.
The symbols are chosen by the ancient rishis to represent the qualities of the signs as closely as possible. The qualities of the sign are not derived from the symbols, the symbols are based on the qualities!
Therefore, do not try to over-interpret the meaning of the symbols. In the classical Vedic Astrology literature, the zodiac is depicted as the body of Shri Vishnu, the personification of time, also referred to as the kalapurusha.
Each Rashi represents one of the body parts. Each sign is ruled by one of the Grahas.
This relationship between a sign and its planetary ruler is extremely important, and plays a prime role in the analysis of the chart. The odd signs are male, and the even signs are female.
Male signs represent a more masculine, bold and assertive quality, while female signs are more feminine, gentle and supportive in nature.
