Capricorn the Sea Goat swims toward the heavenly oceans. Taurus the Bull lowers his horn and charges, as does Aries the Ram. Cancer the Crab, one of the water signs, joins Pisces the Fish, a fellow water sign. Virgo the Virgin serenely watches over all in gentle elegance, directly above the portal. The Cosmic Portal is emblazoned with all twelve signs' ancient pictograms. The Roman or Western Zodiac Early civilizations believed that the Sun, Moon, stars, and planets have a tremendous influence on people and their earthly affairs. Observing the night sky over the course of a year, the Babylonians identified 12 different patterns of stars through which the Sun appeared to travel. The roots of astrology lay in the idea that a person’s character and fate were somehow linked to the arrangement of these celestial bodies at the time of their birth. The renowned Greek astronomer Ptolemy gave the concept scientific respectability in the 2nd century AD when he codified many pre-existing astrological beliefs. He described the zodiac (meaning "circle of little animals") as comprising the 12 constellations, matching them with the month of their apparent ascendancy: Aries – The Ram (March 21 – April 19) Taurus – The Bull (April 20 – May 20) Gemini – The Twins (May 21 – June 20) Cancer – The Crab (June 21 – July 22) Leo – The Lion (July 23 – August 22) Virgo – The Maiden (August 23 – September 22) Libra – The Scales (September 23 – October 22) Scorpio – The Scorpion (October 23 – November 21) Sagittarius – The Centaur (November 22 – December 21) Capricorn – The Goat (December 22 – January 19) Aquarius – The Water Bearer (January 20 – February 18) Pisces – The Fish (February 19 – March 20) To Ptolemy, this ever-changing movement of the stars and planets created moods, powers and atmospheres to which Earth’s inhabitants were sensitive, an idea which continues to resonate with many people to this day. Closely associated with the signs of the zodiac, a horoscope (derived from the Greek words Ōra and scopos meaning "time" and "observer") is a chart of the heavens at a precise point in time, such as on someone’s birth date. Astrology interprets the meaning of the chart to explain aspects of the individual’s personality, as well as to try to predict future events. Obverse Please see above for description.

Although it is completely self-governing and independent, it remains in free association with New Zealand, a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, hence the portrait of the British monarch on most of its coinage. The country is located about 1,450 miles northeast of New Zealand. It is closest to Samoa, Tonga, and the Cook Islands. It is one of the largest coral islands in the world, with a total area of 260 square kilometers. Niueans are predominantly Polynesian; most are bilingual, speaking both Niuean and English.
