Australia - Zodiac Cartoon Stamps

The Zodiac is made up of twelve different sun signs. Your date of birth determines which one you are. These signs are believed to represent twelve basic personality types. Each sign emphases both positive and negative personality traits in people.

In Chinese astrology, the line of the equator is divided into 12 segments. Time is the main factor as the zodiac is operating in cycles of hours, months and years. Each sign of the zodiac is represented by an animal. 2008 is the Year of the Rat.

In Indian and Western astrology, the twelve signs are associated with the constellations. In contrast to Chinese astrology, the movement of the sun, moon and planets are emphasized instead of time. The rising sun is the most common feature of astrology among all three.

Western astrologers believe that no one person possess all of the characteristics of any one sign. In other words, each person, with their varying personality, is a combination of many different signs.

Australia has released some silly cartoon Zodiac Stamps. There are 12 stamps in the set. One stamp for each astrological sign. Each stamp personifies fun personality characteristics. If you would like more information on this adorable stamp set, visit www.stampcenter.com.
