I’m sure you have been asked what your sign is at least once in your life. You may or may not understand what the point is in asking this question, but I am here to explain the deeper meaning, and ways it can help people to connect on a spiritual level.
Everyone on the planet was born on a specific day, a specific time, and at a specific location. Although these aspects of your birth seem to be random and irrelevant, they all work together in the universe to create a unique human that is YOU!
