12 Zodiac Signs: Their Symbolic Places and Objects

 In Vedic astrology, the 12 zodiac signs are derived from the movement of the Sun and Moon, each carrying unique energies influenced by their elements (fire, earth, air, water) and ruling planets. These signs are associated with places (geographical or symbolic locations) and items (objects, tools, or natural elements) that embody their characteristics. These associations are drawn from classical texts like Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and traditional interpretations, reflecting the signs' influence on personality, environment, and life events.
