Moon Sign vs Sun Sign
Moon Sign vs Sun Sign
Constellations are groups of stars we named that we can see from Earth. They stay close to eachother and appear in our skies at predicatble times.
"Oh look, there's Orion." Orion is prominent right now, in the winter night sky.
Your birthday sign (or astrological sign) is associated with the constellations in the sky during the day. Tricky tricky tricky! You can't SEE those stars because OUR star (the sun) is too bright.
Discover what constellations were in the night sky on your birthday on this website. Change the date on the bottom corner to your birthday. See the picture to help you.

WE PRACTICE LEAVE NO TRACE ETHICS
We have created trails, lesson sites and golf courses in our woods. The way we approach how we build is from a mind set of minimal impact. We keep Leave No Trace at the heart of how we interact with our beautiful forest.
