Symbols of the zodiac signs
Symbol Aries- conditional image of a sheep's head.
Aries (Aries). "First - Aries in his golden fleece". Fiery cardinal sign. Ruled by Mars. He begins the Zodiac, begins spring and symbolizes forward movement, indomitable strength, awakening processes. The potential energy of Aries is comparable to the power of a nuclear bomb, and this potential energy tends to turn into kinetic energy more often than its owner would like. Under negative circumstances, all this power goes into trifles, but under favorable circumstances, Aries is a pioneer, revolutionary, barricade builder and conqueror. His impulse is irrational, emotions are uncontrollable, inimitable in art, but often lacking where thoroughness and subtlety are needed. Aries is the spark thrown into the Zodiac so that it ignites and accepts new life. 
Symbol Taurus resembles a bull's head.
Taurus (Taurus). "He (Aries) turns around and marvels at the mighty Taurus". And then comes Taurus - a fixed sign of the Earth. Ruled by Venus. At first glance, Taurus is an ideal variant of a preserving, holding beginning. However, one should not forget that the nuclear energy brought into the Zodiac by Aries does not disappear anywhere in Taurus. This energy is already stored by Taurus, who does not want to distribute and scatter himself as generously as his predecessor, but you should not translate it into kinetic energy. The result will not be weaker. If someone is curious to know what can come of this, then we can recall the Great French Revolution and Taurus-Robespierre at the head of the revolutionary government. However, Taurus rarely goes to such excesses. It is usually a variant of the Guardian, a vessel that contains harmony and knowledge. 
Symbol Gemini- two horizontal lines with twisted ends connected by two short vertical lines. Gemini in the Zodiac correspond to two stars - Castor and Pollux.
Gemini. "He (Taurus) lies, threatening his head, and demands that the Twins rise up. Out of fear, they grab each other and hug each other". It is not for nothing that this sign begins the triad of Air: the mutable cross, by its nature, is closest to the air element. Gemini is ruled by Mercury. And their nature is due to the eternal transfusion from one hypostasis of Mercury to another: on the one hand, it is the wind, the messenger, the information flow, on the other, it is a cunning, changeable deceiver and merchant. This is not a struggle, this is a flow from one state to another, organically combined in Gemini. Gemini easily adapt and adapt others to changes in the subtle world. In art, they are good when they reflect the world around them, capturing the eternal flows in its information space. 
Symbol Cancer- two inverted and twisted loops. The spirals of these loops resemble shells. Together they are like the shell of a cancer or a crab. This glyph also resembles the Chinese yin and yang symbols.
Cancer (Cancer). "And next to the Gemini, the shining Cancer moves with an indecisive step". The cardinal cross went on a new approach, and the water element had just begun. Cancer is the most "feminine" sign ruled by the Moon. Its area is the fluctuations of the subconscious. They are very clearly manifested in Cancer itself, due to which Cancer sensitively picks up similar vibrations in others. Cancer is water, it reflects, but does not save, there are circles on the water, but there is no one to hold them. However, the energy in Cancer is hidden. After all, the Moon, which controls it, does not tend to shine brightly, it only reflects the light of the Sun. Inner experiences come out rarely and ambiguously. However, they are the ones who rule Cancer. Cancer is a symbol of motherhood, a seed thrown into the ground, an emotional principle in a person. 
Symbol lion looks like a bent hook. This is an image of a lion's tail and at the same time the movement of the Sun, which at this time of the year falls lower.
Leo (Leo). "Then the Lion raises his mane". The fifth sign of the Zodiac, the second fiery and the second fixed sign. A sign of the central position of the will, inner consciousness, dominating the mind. He no longer distributes himself, like Aries, thoughtlessly, but it is still easy to receive from him: the fiery signs are initially tuned to bestow. Leo acts for the benefit of others, but is aware of himself in this movement. He has the ability to concentrate energy and direct it in the right direction, this is precisely what his vaunted organizational skills are. Ideal leadership in a critical situation is leonine. Energy reserves are less than Aries, but Leo's pride does not admit this, so this sign puts out more than it has, which leads to either exhaustion or borrowing from others (the latter also applies to Leo's skill). It is warm next to Leo, this sign is ruled by the Sun. Therefore, its ideal function is to shine for others, but Leo realizes this only at the highest levels of his development. 
Symbol Virgin similar to the letter m, the third stick of which has a curl added. It is a symbol of the harvest. It resembles the architecture of ancient granaries.
Virgo. "And following him, the Virgin tames his fury". Virgo is a mutable earth sign. Means the highest culmination of empirical experience, borrowed from all the changing signs and transformed into self-consciousness. Again we see a sign ruled by Mercury, but this Mercury is not a writer, but a scientist, excellent systematizer of the accumulated and analyst. Virgo is the Earth cleansed of dirt, the refined Earth. It should not be forgotten that the sign is mutable. Therefore, the purpose of the Virgo is to analyze the accumulated experience and isolate the main thing, to separate the important from the unimportant. In Gemini, we saw the combination of the action of the mind and strength in order to free the soul (Virgo) from the enslavement of passions. Virgo at first could not yet be independent, she needed guidance and protection of the mind. Now she has become the head: she has placed her mind and strength in their proper place, that is, in a position of office. Having reached this heavenly point in its evolutionary movement, the soul is freed from the bonds of matter and from subordination to the body. 
Symbol Libra, the seventh sign of the Zodiac, consists of two parallel, horizontal lines, the top of which is curved in the middle. This is a conditional image of scales. The glyph also resembles the Sun leaning towards the horizon. The sign of Libra is associated with the autumn equinox and the decrease in the length of the day.
Libra. "Further, day and night are weighed on the scales, they are in balance for some time, but the cup of the night finally pulls". Well, what can I say? The only inanimate sign of the Zodiac. The element is Air, the cross is cardinal, the ruling planet is Venus. Libra symbolizes harmony. A certain detachment and observational nature of activity give this sign ideal abilities to comprehend the inner content of the Universe. Libra is a sign of cosmic harmony. This sign is marked divine from the very beginning, and woe to him if he renounces this divine purpose for the sake of the earthly one - the path of Libra will be broken. And such temptations constantly appear on the path of life, and the cup inclines first to one, then to the other. Libra acquires maturity and wisdom in return for thoughtlessly spilled energy. 
Symbol scorpio resembles the sign of Virgo, only the third stick of the letter m is supplemented with an arrow. This arrow is directed upwards, to the sky, to the future, and symbolizes the hope for a good harvest next year, and therefore the careful selection and planting of seeds.
Scorpio (Scorpio). "And, increasing in weight, the heavier bowl bows and draws the brilliant Scorpio from the sign of winter". The element of Water, in combination with a fixed cross, creates an infernal mixture that can be both a poison and an antidote. Scorpio is ruled by Pluto and co-ruled by Mars. The path of the Scorpio is eternal war. This water does not know the liquid state, it is dry ice that can evaporate without melting. The energy of this sign is curious: for Aries, Leo, Sagittarius, energy is given from the outside, Scorpio produces it himself, with his perpetual motion, as if rubbing against the walls of the universe. The brighter the virtues of Scorpio, the brighter his shortcomings. Just as a rotational movement makes any object stable and stable (for example, a spinning top), so the impressions of the soul of Scorpio form a pronounced, independent personality, in which, along with pride, perseverance, courage and practicality, ambition, malice, envy, jealousy are manifested. , hatred.
Symbol Sagittarius, the ninth sign of the Zodiac, is an arrow. pointing northeast. It symbolizes the fiery thought of man. which breaks through the sublunar world and strives into infinity.
Sagittarius (Sagittarius). "Following him is a Centaur with an eye aimed, his bow drawn and ready to shoot an arrow." And now Fire reaches its third, mutable manifestation. This is a vagabond, an arrow shot into the sky, not knowing its purpose. But this arrow is in search, it changes the spheres of being through which it passes. Sagittarius is a sign of synthesis, philosophy, broadening one's horizons, and it is not for nothing that it is ruled by the largest planet - Jupiter. If Aries splashes energy thoughtlessly, Leo distributes it at its own discretion, then Sagittarius is the source from which anyone can take, but take it on their own. The energy of Sagittarius does not initially go to others, it goes into uncertainty. Sagittarius is marked with the sign of wandering, this is a wandering fire. Ideally, Sagittarius is a teacher and philosopher, symbolizing Enlightenment.
Symbol Capricorn has the form of a capital letter V, from the right upper part of which hangs a thin stylized S. This is a conventional image of a goat with a fish tail or a waterfall.
Capricorn (Capricornus). "Then, with narrow horns, the strong-horned Capricorn appears". The tenth sign of the Zodiac, the third earth and fourth cardinal sign. The vibrations of Capricorn are of a pronounced earthly character: it is in him, thanks to ambition, that consciousness at the physical level awakens with all its might. Capricorn is the climber at the head of the trine of the Earth; nothing can compare with the influence it exerts on the material side of being. The sign gives the ability to accumulate empirical experience and experiences relating to objective reality. Capricorn denotes the accumulation of practical experience and the search for the natural essence of phenomena. A distinctive feature of Capricorn is the instinct that controls the action of those born under this sign in all areas, and especially in trade and politics. Capricorn's motto is selectivity. In relation to higher values, this means the materialization of ideas.
Symbol Aquarius- two parallel broken lines are the heat of the sun's rays, which melt the ice and turn it into water.
Aquarius (Aquarius). "Water flows from the urn of Aquarius". Fixed Air. Fixedness, which at first glance is not characteristic of Air, gives it depth and sharpness. This is a mountain wind. It is ruled by Uranus (revolutionary planet) and the quality of Aquarius is high humanism. It is 180° away from its opposite, Leo, but it is similar to it in many ways, except for one point: it does not matter to it whether it is in the center, whether it gives off energy. Aquarius does not give energy, he has little of it, but he shows the way how to get it. Man is the central concept of the Aquarius value system. Recall the work of Vladimir Vysotsky - this is a hymn to a person who is nearby. And his rebellion is not the beginning of Aries that sweeps away everything, but a relentless movement forward, along paths that are invisible to others. Thinking for Aquarius is a way of being. Therefore, his gait is outwardly light, but his steps are deliberate. 
Symbol Pisces - two semicircles arranged vertically with convex parts to each other and connected in the middle by a horizontal line. These are two fish, one swims down, deep into the waters, and the other floats to the surface.
Pisces. "Approaching, cold Pisces moves in their favorite waves, touching Aries and completing the cycle". The twelfth sign of the Zodiac, the third watery and fourth mutable sign, symbolized by two fish swimming in the opposite direction. This changeable sign, which can be compared with the waters of Lethe (oblivion), means the re-entry of consciousness into material substance (into the higher spheres of being). Pisces symbolize the eternal liberation of the Spirit. Consciousness, embodied in Pisces, is alienated from the earthly shell and, soaring above it, merges with the Universal Consciousness. The mental warehouse of these people opens access to obsession, melancholy, hopeless despair in their soul. The sign is a symbol of passive and active sympathetic principles: mediumship, the fruitless life of feelings on the one hand, and on the other, active manifestation, the ideal of which is the commandment "love your neighbor as yourself." A distinctive feature of Pisces is their ability to pass all impressions through consciousness.
Looking through the horoscope, you involuntarily pay attention to the drawn signs of the zodiac. Some of the graphic pictures are similar to the names of the zodiacs, while others seem to be completely out of this topic. Thinking about this, many questions arise: why these images, what do they mean, etc.?
The essence of the symbols of the zodiac signs
Zodiac signs are divided by elements, consider them in the same order.
Fire
Aries - the image of this sign suits its name more than anyone else. Two arcs form the horns or head of an animal, a ram. Another version says that this is supposedly an explosion or dawn. And a person born under this sign can boast of the same explosive character.
The lion is a reigning animal, and his sign is unusual. It looks like a circle with a curved tail. There are several interesting options for describing it: a head with a mane, parts of the heart - valves (this sign controls this important organ) or a male germ cell, meaning masculinity and the ability to reproduce offspring.
Sagittarius is indicated by a simple, understandable arrow, but if you look at the image of the centaur archer himself, you can see that he shoots back, that is, into the past of a person, getting rid of him, and leads forward, setting a positive vector.
Earth
Capricorn: the sign of this zodiac comes from ancient Sumer from the creator god Enki, we can say that this is the designation of the wisdom that accompanies a person throughout life. It also means the desire for light, for the future.
Taurus, it would seem that everything is simple: the head of a bull with horns. However, this is not entirely true: the circle means the earth, and the semicircle the moon. Together they symbolize the creation of matter and space; it is not for nothing that this sign patronizes the accumulation of material wealth.
Virgo is the only female representative in the zodiac, personifies the goddess Demeter. It looks like the letter m with a tail stuck into itself (very similar to the sign of a scorpion), the meaning will be as follows: the maiden structures it with the help of the energy of the world.
Air
Libra: a straight line, with a hat hanging over it. Remotely, this sign, of course, resembles a measuring instrument, it balances the spiritual and inner world, personifies justice. Scientists also describe it as a sunset, as opposed to the dawn of a ram. In the circle of the zodiac, they stand opposite each other.
Aquarius, it is distinguished by two waves located one above the other. It is believed that this is a sign of dead and living water. But some argue that this is a symbol of the emergence of reason, or its introduction into an unreasonable being, because of the image of an Aquarius pouring water on a fish.
Gemini: even from the name you can see that this is a dual sign. Two curved lines connected by transverse bars resemble the Roman numeral two. They are also seen as a combination of two moons looking in different directions, which symbolizes the bifurcation of matter, for example, into light and darkness, good and evil.
Water
Pisces are two semicircles connected by a straight line or ribbon, i.e. they are inseparable, though they move in different directions. This sign ends the circle of the zodiac, and symbolizes the end of the cycle of life or death, the transition to another world.
Scorpio, its sign resembles the sign of the virgin, the arrow or tail is directed away from itself, but it is worth looking at the image of the scorpion itself. He directs his tail into his body, i.e. tortures himself, and unlike the virgin, he does not take energy, but reproduces it.
Cancer: This sign has a feminine nature. Two curved lines closing in a ring symbolize the female breast, as well as the egg, which means the creation of a family, the union of female and male.
Astrologers and esotericists have been arguing about these descriptions for many years, without fully unraveling the secrets of our constellations and planets.
Video on the topic of the article
The signs of the zodiac are named after the constellations they corresponded to in ancient times. In the process of the formation of the science of astrology, it became clear that for the convenience of work, special symbols or designations of the signs of the zodiac are needed. It is about them that I will tell in the article.
I received a question in my email:
FORECAST FOR 2019 - now available on our website. Compiled according to YOUR individual birth data, that is, for you PERSONALLY. You will also receive an individual calendar of good and bad days of 2019.
Daria, Saratov
Hello Svetlana. For a long time I want to find out what the icons of the zodiac signs mean? Where did they come from? For example, I am Rybka, but I don’t fully understand the icon of my sign. Thank you in advance for your response.
Aries
Aries traditionally opens the zodiac - this is where the vernal equinox is located, when day becomes equal to night. By the way, the word "ram" means a ram older than one year.
The graphic symbol of the zodiac sign Aries is somewhat reminiscent of the Latin letter "V". It is believed that it is an image of the horns of a ram. Isn't there a resemblance?
There is another version, according to which the Aries icon is an image of a sunrise or an explosion.
People born under this constellation have just such a character: they are impulsive, impetuous, courageous and strive to be the first in all areas of life.
Taurus
The designation of the zodiac sign Taurus is a circle with an arc above it. This is a schematic representation of a bull's head.
The circle in this icon reflects the Sun (Spirit of Man), and the arc represents the Moon (Soul). Since here the symbol of the soul is on top, it becomes clear that in the life of Taurus, the leading role is played by proximity to the Earth and nature, and not to the Cosmos and God.
The nature of this sign in many ways resembles the features of a bull - it is stubbornness, some slowness, power and great natural strength.
Twins
The symbol of the zodiac sign Gemini is the Roman numeral 2. It is easy to guess where this image came from. The very word "twins" indicates two people - brothers or sisters.
There is also duality in the character of those born under this constellation. Such people are changeable, in their personality it is as if two dissimilar people live side by side.
By the way, pay attention to the arcs above and below in the designation of Gemini. They symbolize the waxing and waning moon.
Connecting, they indicate the path of development from the past to the future.
Cancer
When you first see the symbol of the zodiac sign Cancer, you will immediately understand who it is. Two "commas" in this icon are very similar to the claws of cancer, which is supposedly hiding behind them from an outside observer.
This sign really does not like to be in sight, prefers to stay in his closed and cozy little world, where no one will disturb him. Cancerians love their home, which can be compared to a shell.
The symbol of Cancer also reminds us of the sign of infinity. Indeed, the emotions of the representatives of the Cancer sign are so deep that this depth seems endless. And another decoding is the fusion of Yin and Yang, the male and female principles, as a result of which pregnancy occurs. Cancer is related to motherhood.
a lion
The designation of the zodiac sign Leo is a curl with a circle at the end. It is somewhat similar to a lion's mane, creating a vivid and noticeable image of this majestic animal in nature. Those born under this constellation also often have luxurious, not very manageable hair.
The circle in the symbol points us to the Sun, which is the patron of the zodiac sign Leo. It reflects the Spirit and inner core, strength of character and bright creative abilities.
The Leo symbol may resemble a spermatozoon. Before us is a "male" sign, which, like Cancer, is involved in the act of creating a new life.
Therefore, both of these representatives of the zodiac are recognized as excellent educators and very caring parents.
Virgo
The designation of the zodiac sign Virgo is ambiguous. Some argue that this symbol depicts 3 spikelets of wheat, carefully tied together. Representatives of this sign are really close to the earth and hardworking.
There is another - historically based explanation of the symbol of the Virgin. The sign is a monogram of the letters "MV", composed of the initials Maria Virgo, that is, the Virgin Mary.
Virgo represents purity and innocence. And if we are talking about purity in the physical sense of the word, then purity is meant rather spiritual.
Scales
The symbol of the zodiac sign Libra exactly matches its name. It reflects the ideas of justice and balance. As if on a scale, different points of view are weighed here, as a result of which one can see the truth and judge people.
Representatives of Libra are endowed with a sense of proportion and beauty. They strive for balance and harmony in all areas of life, including looking for balance in relationships, they do not like conflicts.
Another meaning of the symbolism of Libra is the image of a sunset, as opposed to Aries, which is a sunrise. Sunset is a wonderful, romantic time of day, isn't it?
Scorpion
The image of the zodiac sign Scorpio is the Latin letter "m". There are two versions of the meaning of the arrow at the end of a character:
- it denotes the poisonous sting of the Scorpion;
- indicates the tail of this animal.
In any case, the presence of an arrow indicates that Scorpio is striving for action - he does not stop on the way to the desired goal. The sting of the Scorpion hints at his vindictiveness. By the way, you may be interested in material about.
Sagittarius
The designation of the zodiac sign Sagittarius is the arrow that the centaur fired from the bow. The arrow is not accidentally directed forward and upward. Sagittarius aims for the future, he is striving for high goals.
Representatives of this sign will not linger on the past. Their gaze is directed into the distance, somewhere where the guiding star shines. This star is the ideal that inspires the centaur.
Sagittarius is also a sign of travel and expanding horizons. He shoots his arrows in different parts of the world, making amazing discoveries far from home.
Capricorn
The symbol of the zodiac sign Capricorn is ambiguous. There are two ways to decrypt it:
- in the first case, they talk about the image of intricate horns and the tail of a mountain goat, personifying this zodiac sign;
- in the second case, it is assumed that the Greek letters are encrypted in the symbol - "tau" and "ro" - the first two letters in the word tragos, which means "goat".
The mountain goat is endowed with such qualities as endurance, stamina, determination and courage. From birth, he has to climb mountain slopes in search of pastures, bypassing ravines and gorges. As a result, Capricorn reaches mountain peaks.
Aquarius
The sign of the zodiac Aquarius is represented by two broken lines. They symbolize the ocean waves that rise due to the wind. Wind, like Aquarius itself, belongs to the Air element.
Representatives of this zodiac sign always strive to be in the flow. They are sociable, contact, friendly. Their mind, like waves, is constantly occupied with any ideas or concepts.
Aquarius is the focus of the intellect in the zodiac. He seeks to know the world, and his gaze is fixed on the future.
That is why many Aquarians are interested in new electronics, and also study life in space with interest.
Fish
The symbol of the zodiac sign Pisces is two fish that swim in different directions. They are indicated by semicircles on the right and left. Connects the fish "silver thread", which has mythological roots.
It is no coincidence that two fish look in different directions. This is a symbolic image of the eternal opposition of the spirit and soul of man, earthly and heavenly.
One fish swims in the direction of mysticism and spiritual development, ready to give all of itself as a sacrifice to others. The other is directed towards achieving personal goals and self-realization.
There is another way to decipher the symbol. One of the fish goes with the flow, succumbing to the flow of life and not even trying to change something in life. And the other swims against the current, making efforts for its own development.
These are the meanings of the symbols of the signs of the zodiac. These designations appeared in ancient times, but are relevant to this day.
