The Zodiac Signs and their Symbolisms |

Each of the twelve signs of the zodiac are represented by different symbols that have an uncanny ability to metaphorically represent the characters of their associated zodiac sign. This can be really fascinating to look at, as each symbolism tells its own tale when considering all their idiosyncrasies and what they truly mean. Read on to discover what each symbolism means from an interesting perspective. Aries Aries is represented by the ram, who fight with their horns. Just as the ram is known to headbutt, Aries are known to jump into things head-first without a second thought. As the first sign of the zodiac, they are often also first to act in a given situation. Just like the ram, they are also comfortable with conflict, especially in the beginning stages of a relationship. Taurus Taureans are represented by the bull, who are known to be stubborn animals by nature. Just as the bull is not easy to train or manipulate, Taureans will often dig their heels in further as soon as they spot any level of coercion on the part of their peers. Just like Taureans, bulls are known to stick with things for a long time and are a very persistent animal. Gemini Geminis are represented by the twins, who are actually often known to carry very different personas, despite being born only minutes apart. Like the twins, Geminis are known to have the ability to tap into two personalities depending on their mood, each with opposing moral standards. Often the twins are depicted as a devil and an angel to represent these. Cancer Cancers are represented by the crab, who are quite defensive animals by nature. Just like the crab, a Cancerian has a tough outer shell that will help protect them from predators, metaphorically speaking. This protects others from reaching their soft, emotional centre. Just like a crab walks sideways, a Cancerian will often approach things indirectly. Leo Leos are represented by the lion, who are known to be independent and courageous animals. Just like the lion, Leos are often quite bold and self-sufficient. Leos are also known to be quite proud as far as their family ties and personal circles are concerned. Perhaps it is no surprise to learn that packs of lions are known themselves by the collective term, prides. Virgo Virgos are represented by the virgin or the maiden, who throughout history were known to be given lives of service work such as waiting and cooking. Although this idea is dated, Virgos are a sign which is still related to service towards the community and civil work. Virgos are often very giving and caring. They’re also known to have clean images, another association with these. Libra Libra are represented by the scales, which are in a constant balancing act with all that’s in their environment. Just like the scales, balance is very important to a Libra and they will do whatever they can to create harmony between opposing sides. The scales are also a symbol of justice and, as Libra always considers every side of an argument, they are known to be just. Scorpio Scorpios are represented by the scorpion, which are well-known for having a sting on the end of their tail. Just like the scorpion, Scorpios have a reputation for using their stinging mechanism for the purpose of self-protection, metaphorically speaking. Just as scorpions are known to be creatures that are solitary, Scorpios are known to enjoy their times of solitude. Sagittarius Sagittarius are represented by the centaur, which is a half horse, half man character who carries a bow and arrow. Just like the centaur, Sagittarians are known to be great hunters who are good at boldly tracking down all they desire in life. Like centaurs, Sagittarians also love to run wild and free, whilst foraging for their own food and living amongst the stars. Capricorn Capricorns are represented by the mountain goat, who have hooves that are specifically designed for trekking up mountainous regions and steep cliffs. Just like the mountain goat, Capricorns are known to have an ability to climb their way up through difficult situations right to the very top. Capricorns are also known to move slowly and surely, just like the goat. Aquarius Aquarius are represented by the water bearer, which throughout history and antiquity have been known to sustain life by providing the hard work of carrying water from the source and into the villages for man. Just like the water bearer, Aquarians are the true humanitarians of the zodiac who are generally very concerned with the welfare of the collective people. Pisces Pisces are represented by the two fishes, which are depicted as swimming in opposite directions. Just like the two fishes in water, Pisceans are known to swim in the ethereal realms of the spiritual planes, often in two opposing directions. For this reason, they can become confused when seeking their true calling in life and they have great amounts of empathy for others. For a detailed astrology reading, visit Esotelcard.com |
