Horoscope Symbols

People are fascinated by the horoscope symbols. Horoscope symbols are mysterious. Horoscope symbols are foreign to us. Horoscope symbols can tell us something, but we need to know how to interpret horoscope symbols. Horoscope symbols represent the signs of the zodiac in astrology. All three major types of astrology have their own horoscope symbols. Western astrology has its horoscope symbols. Eastern astrology has its horoscope symbols. And Indian astrology has its own horoscope symbols. Writing about astrology would be much more cumbersome without horoscope symbols.

In western astrology, the horoscope symbols represent the twelve houses of the zodiac. These twelve houses of the zodiac are the twelve major constellations that the planets move through during the year. These twelve constellations are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. These constellations have all been named after Greek myths and stories. And these myths and stories all relate in some way to a picture the ancient Greeks saw in the constellations, or grouping of stars. The horoscope symbols for these twelve houses of the zodiac represent some visual aspect of the constellation.

The horoscope symbols are a kind of representational shorthand to denote the look of the constellation. The horoscope symbol for Aries, The Ram, look like a stylized pair of rams horns. the horoscope symbol for Taurus, The Bull, looks like a bull's head and horns. The horoscope symbol for Gemini, The Twins, looks like two connected figures, The horoscope symbol for Cancer, The Crab, looks like a crab and also sort of a yin yang symbol. The horoscope symbol for Leo, The Lion hints at the curves of the legs of a lion. The horoscope symbol for Virgo, The Virgin, looks like a winged goddess. The horoscope symbols for Libra, The Scales, looks like stylized scales. The horoscope symbol for Scorpio, The Scorpion, looks like a creature with a stinger of a scorpion. The horoscope symbol for Sagittarius, The Archer, looks like a bow and arrow. The horoscope symbol for Capricorn, The Seagoat, looks like the animal. The horoscope symbol for Aquarius, The Water Bearer, looks like water waves. And the final sign in the zodiac, Pisces, The Fishes, looks like two fish and also is reminiscent of the yin yang symbol, as well.

Horoscope symbols can be drawn in different styles as long as they somewhat resemble the original design, having its origin from the stars. Since horoscope symbols are a short hand for use in any pictorial, visual mode as in creating astrological horoscope charts, for instance, it is important for people to be familiar with these horoscope symbols and to know their own if they are to pursue any astrology at all
