Zodiac sign or Sun sign astrology became popular after 1930 when the Sunday Express published an astrological article by R. H. Naylor about the birth of Princess Margaret. As a result newspaper sales soared leading to a commission for astrologer Naylor to write a series. Soon after this regular astrology columns started to appear in the press leading to the newspaper astro-columns we know today.

According to astrologers, the individuality of the person is designated by the sun sign, the personality is designated by the ascending sign in one's chart at the time of birth, the general direction of life and the potential for creativity is designated by the positions of the stars and planets in the chart at birth.
