It is a star of a secondary size on a scale of values ranging from 1 to 6 measuring luminosity (the smallest star is the 6 level-star).<\/p>\n<p>The movements of the planets around the Sun are combined with a rotation movement around their own axes. To facilitate the understanding of celestial mechanics system, for astrological reasons, it has been agreed to relate the movements of other celestial bodies to the Earth, since it is a fixed point.<\/p>\n<p>Under this conventional situation, the Sun, the fixed point of our solar system, also describes an apparent movement which, during a calendar year, goes along a way making a full circle and passes by 12 constellations. This route bears the name of ZODIAC, a word derived from zodion, a diminutive of the Greek word zoon (animal). This apparent route of the Sun was scientifically called ecliptic.<\/p>\n<p>The Sun, the Moon and the Planets go along this way of Constellations with different speeds: the Sun in 365 days, the Moon in 28 days, Mercury in 335 days, Venus in 225 days, Mars in one year and 322 days, Jupiter in almost 12 years, Saturn in 29 years, Uranus in almost 84 years, Neptune in 164 years, and Pluto in 247 years.<\/p>\n<p>Based on the knowledge of some exact elements \u2013 place, date and time of birth \u2013 they extract and decipher elements specific to the personality of the entity born under an astral configuration.<\/p>\n<p>Predictable Astrology establishes precisely the manner in which the person will manifest within a well-determined time period of his existence.<\/p>\n<p>In the European \u2013 Chaldean ZODIAC the 12 signs are divided by several criteria among which we mention the followings:<\/p>\n<p>Cardinal signs: Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn;<br \/>\nFixed signs:Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius;<br \/>\nMutable signs: Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces;<br \/>\nFire signs: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius;<br \/>\nEarth signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn;<br \/>\nAir signs: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius;<br \/>\nWater signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.<\/p>\n<p>Romfilatelia introduces into circulation the postage stamps issue Zodiac I, illustrating the first six signs.<\/p>\n<p>Aries sign is illustrated on the postage stamp with the face value of 30 bani.
