From new friends to dating, asking someone's zodiac sign is a common ice breaker that people ask all the time.

A person's zodiac sign, also known as their sun sign, is determined by the position of the sun at the date of their birth. There are 12 zodiac signs in total. The season of each zodiac sign is about a month long, and the season in which someone is born determines their zodiac sign.
