The Meaning Behind
Astrology Symbols
Astrology symbols are not the discovery
of the century. People knew about the
astrology symbols for many years. For
many years astrology symbols have been
used to stand for the different signs of
the zodiac. Once you have learned the
meaning behind astrology symbols you
realize that they are easy to remember
and to recognize. The astrology symbols
represent certain zodiac signs so that
zodiac signs can be distinguished from
one another.
Aquarius is believed to be the most
discernable astrology symbol. This
astrology symbol is always presented
with figures, which resemble water.
Someone can relate the waves on the
astrology sign’s image with an aquarium
but not with water. However, the
Aquarius astrology sign is probably the
easiest to remember.
Other easy to remember astrology signs
are Taurus and Aries. The Taurus
astrology sign image represents a bull.
Its name can be easily remembered
because the Spanish word for bull is the
same. A sphere with two bull-like horns
is usually the picture of the Taurus
astrology sign. On the other hand, the
Aries astrology sign is associated with
a goat and its image shows horns on a
goat’s head.
In the zodiac, there are two twin
astrology symbols. That is why Pisces
and Gemini are often mixed up. Sometimes
their images are quite alike. The figure
of the astrology sign Pisces is usually
presented with two fish. The image of
the Pisces astrology sign is always a
pair of fish. The Gemini astrology sign,
for its part, is presented with an image
that resembles the Roman numeral II.
One of the most clearly recognized
visual images of the astrology symbols
is the one that represents the Leo
astrology sign. A lion’s mane or simply
a lion is the astrology symbol of the
Leo.
Virgo and Scorpio are also quite similar
astrology symbols. These two astrology
symbols both resemble the letter M.
These remarkably different astrology
symbols are represented by icons, which
look quite alike. The difference between
the images is that the Scorpio astrology
symbol has a “tail” that sticks out to
the point of an arrow outwards. Virgo’s
“tail” stands inward and has no arrow at
its tip.
Cancer and Sagittarius are two astrology
symbols, which are easy to be
distinguished. While the Cancer sign is
quite feminine, the Sagittarian sign is
masculine. The Cancer’s astrology symbol
consists of two circles that intersect
each other. The Sagittarius astrology
symbol is represented only by an arrow
that points up and right.
Capricorn is probably the most strange
astrology symbol. I am not sure why but
its astrology symbol represents a
goatfish. A goatfish is not the most
pleasant picture that is possible but I
think the image it not so bad. It looks
like the letters VS.
The last astrology symbol, which is
left, is Libra. This astrology symbol
looks alike the scales of justice that
we see in the courthouses. They are
usually associated with balance.
These astrology symbols live for many
generations and they will probably wait
for many others to come.
