Western Zodiac signs

The modern astrological signs are the simplified pictures of the signs used in the Hellenistic times. These are the twelve aspects the signs represent:

  • Aries (The Ram) - (21 March - 19 April)
  • Taurus (The Bull) - (20 April - 20 May)
  • Gemini (The Twins) - (21 May - 20 June)
  • Cancer (The Crab) - (21 June - 22 July)
  • Leo (The Lion) - (23 July - 22 August)
  • Virgo (The Virgin) - (23 August - 22 September)
  • Libra (The Scale) - (23 September - 22 October)
  • Scorpio (The Scorpion) - (23 October - 21 November)
  • Sagittarius (The Centaur-Archer) - (22 November - 19 December)
  • Capricorn (The Sea-Goat) - (22 December - 20 January)
  • Aquarius (The Water-Bearer) - (20 January - 18 February)
  • Pisces (The Fish) - (19 February - 20 March)

A person's Zodiac sign is determined by at what time and on what day they are born.

Chinese Zodiac[change | change source]

In the Chinese Zodiac, years match twelve animals in turn.

The zodiac signs have purpose for how a certain person will usually react. For example Aquarius might get angry easier than Taurus.
