Wondering, what do each of the 13 Star Signs in the setting mean?
The Thrush
(18 Kuthona–20 Abadius)
The Lantern Bearer
(21 Abadius–16 Calistril)
The Newlyweds
(17 Calistril–11 Pharast)
The Bridge
(12 Pharast–18 Gozan)
The Daughter
(19 Gozan–13 Desnus)
The Rider
(14 Desnus–20 Sarenith)
The Patriarch
(21 Sarenith–20 Erastus)
The Wagon
(21 Erastus–10 Arodus)
The Pack
(11 Arodus–16 Rova)
The Mother
(17 Rova–30 Lamashan)
The Stargazer
(31 Lamashan–20 Neth)
The Stranger
(21 Neth–29 Neth)
The Follower
(30 Neth–17 Kuthona)
All I've got are the names, please can you point me in the direction of their meanings?
The Cosmic Caravan signs are introduced (as far as I know) in Distant Worlds, but that only includes a sentence or so on the folkloric meaning of what each constellation depicts. There's no astrological information provided on what the signs "mean" for a character's personality.

*flails*
I must know...
Someone MUSt make this
*flails more*
Or I'll just translate our own to it.
*flops*
That sounds like they would make a great set of Character Traits.
Ooh... let me ponder that.

John is spot on. This is all of the canon information on this topic at present - and the one section of Distant Worlds that I wrote! The whole thing presents a mystical group of Varisian sky travelers and tracks nicely(-ish) to the western zodiac, with the inclusion of a thirteenth sign (just like Ophiuchus).
We'll surely do something more on this down the line, but for now there's not much more on this outside what's scribbled down in my workbooks and in Sutter's heads. There's actually a goodly bit of detail we've got pinned down on Golarion's constellations behind the scenes, much of which is mentioned in the original solar system article in Pathfinder #13 and later largely picked up by Distant Worlds. There was even a time when we were going to do star charts on the interiors of Pathfinder's covers, but that didn't materialize. But we've still got those charts, and no kept work is ever wasted, so we'll find someplace to get those out there eventually!
For now, assigning all the trappings of real world zodiacs to these constellations sounds like a great side project, Wayfinder article, or skin to stitch onto existing zodiacs. And folks are LOVING Distant Worlds, so you can bet we'll be revisiting the stars in print down the line here eventually.

How many heads does Sutter have?
How many heads does Sutter have?
Many. Of terrible variety, color, and noise-making capacity.
