The following is a list of terms associated with astrology,[1] a range of divinatory practices based on the apparent positions of celestial objects.
- Air signs
- Aquarius, Gemini, and Libra signs[2]
- Aquarius
- Zodiac sign for people born January 20 through February 18[2]
- Aries
- Zodiac sign for people born March 21 through April 19[2]
- Balsamic Moon
Occurs about three and a half days before the New Moon.[3][4] Formerly known as the old crescent.[5] The source for its current name is unknown but is widely applied by astrology practitioners.[6][7]
- Bestial signs
- Zodiac signs that represent animals. The term is not in contemporary use, as the dichotomy of bestial and non-bestial signs has no bearing on intepretation nor does the "beastliness" connotation of the animal sign.[8]
