You need your exact time of birth to accurately pin down your sign

You may already know that to identify your zodiac sign, you will need your birth date. However, if you want to accurately pin down what your sign is, your exact time of birth is needed.

The 12 zodiac signs are divided into 4 different groups. Water signs include Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.  Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are under the Air element. Fire signs are Aries, Leo, Sagittarius. While the remaining signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn are under the Earth signs. Whatever element your sign may fall under, this is said to predict components of your personality.
