What is the significance of a zodiac sign?

There are 12 different signs in the zodiac, and each sign belongs to one of four elements. A person’s zodiac sign is also known as a sun sign, and it is used in astrology to explain a person’s basic characteristics.

The four elements in the zodiac are fire, water, air, and earth. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are the three fire signs and are known for being passionate and spontaneous. Water signs are known for being emotional and intense. The three water signs are Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.

Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are air signs, and air signs typically are very social and are go-getters. Earth signs are known for being rational and loyal, with Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn being the three earth signs.

Pete Davidson’s zodiac sign is Scorpio

According to astro-charts.com, Davidson was born on Nov. 16, 1993 in New York City. This makes his sun sign in Scorpio, meaning his zodiac sign is Scorpio.

As a Scorpio, those who study astrology would not be surprised if Davidson is intense, passionate, and sensual. Due to their intensity, Scorpios are often mistaken as fire signs, but their emotional nature makes them one of the three water signs.

In astrology, a person’s moon sign and rising sign are also very important. A moon sign explains how someone processes their emotions, and a rising sign is a person’s outward personality and perceived persona.

Because Davidson’s birth time is unknown, his rising sign cannot be calculated. However, astro-charts.com reveals his moon sign is in Capricorn. This means that while Davidson’s sun sign is a water sign, his moon sign is an earth sign, meaning he could process emotions in a reserved way.
