CAPRICORN (Dec. 22- Jan. 20)

The Capricorn symbol is the most difficult to learn to draw. It takes practice.The Capricornarchetype is essentially connected with affecting progress and making things happen. Capricorn isa Sign of leadership, ambition, practicality, and patience.

摩羯座：摩羯座的符號象徵羊的頭和魚的尾，抽象但基本上是象形的；由摩羯座的神話我們可以知道摩羯的擔心和恐懼。摩羯座又稱山羊座，這是由於其上半身的山羊形象所致，有一種向上登峰的欲求，但別忘了，在水面之下摩羯座也有象徵感情的魚尾。

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21- Feb. 19)

Aquarius is called "The Water Bearer." This is the name given to this Sign from the constellation inwhich it was formerly found. The "water bearer" is simply pouring new ideas, innovation,inspiration, and concepts into a stream of influence upon the world, in the name of social progressand humanitarianism.

水瓶座：水瓶座的符號象徵水和空氣的波，是具象但又抽象的；由水瓶座的神話中，可以看出水瓶座的愛好自由和個人主義。象徵水瓶座的波，是高度知性的代表，由波的特性去思考水瓶座的特質，看似有規律但沒有具體的形象，是一個不可預測的星座。

PISCES (Feb. 20- Mar. 20)

The symbol for Pisces shows two fish, back to back, swimming in opposite directions, both joinedby a horizon line of earthly experience.Swimming in opposite directions in water suggests emotionalconfusion, the importance of finding one"s way in the higher realms. there is the idea of Piscesbringing deep, subconscious sensitivity down to earth, joining consciousness with thesubconscious.

雙魚座：雙魚座的符號象徵兩條魚，而其中有一條絲帶將它們連繫在一起；由雙魚座的神話中可以聯想到雙魚座逃避的特質。雙魚座的兩條魚是分別游向兩個方向，除了表現出雙魚座的二元性之外，也象徵了雙魚座的矛盾和複雜。

ARIES (Mar.21- April 20)

The symbol for Aries,"The Ram," suggests an upright, bold scepter of authority with the horns ofa ram flaring from its top end. Aries is the first Sign of the zodiac. What"s suggested here is thecombination of authority with the Arian tendency to forge ahead individualistically, courageously,with aggression, a thrust of spirit, usually without caution.

白羊座：白羊座的符號象徵羊的頭，是一種象形的方法，取出羊最明顯的羊角和鼻樑部分；由白羊座的神話可以聯想到一些特質，例如衝動、勇往直前。而由另一方面，也有人指白羊座的符號是象徵新生的綠芽，表現出大地新生和欣欣向榮的景象。

TAURUS (Apr. 21 - May 21)

The symbol for Taurus, "The Bull", when compared tothe Aries symbol, immediately shows heaviness, organization; it isstolid, stubborn.It is when you try to take the bull out of itspattern that it becomes agitated and shows its temperament.Thisdescription of the bull"s nature coupled with its stolid symbolgives us a clear explanation of the Taurean archetype

金牛座：金牛座的符號象徵了牛的頭，也是以簡單的線條描繪出牛的形象；由金牛座的神話可以發現，金牛座的外表溫馴，但內心充滿慾望。由另一方面看，圓圓的牛臉表現出安逸和享樂，但上面的牛角則提示我們脾氣有爆發的時候。 

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)

The symbol for Gemini, "The Twins," immediatelyprojects the idea of duality, of more than one thing at a time. Itshows two staves or scepters or two arms or both lungs. One feelsparallel polarity issues.There is constant activity and stimulationand, because of this, energies will tend to go from one thing toanother to maintain the sense of new excitement.

雙子座：雙子座的符號象徵雙胞胎，相較於前兩個符號，就比較抽象了一點；由雙子座的神話可以知道雙子座的二元性和內在的矛盾。其實雙子座所代表的不只是二元性，而是所謂的多元，一方面可以看出其廣，一方面也暗示了可能的膚淺。

CANCER (June 22 - July 22)

Cancer"s symbol depicts the breasts. This is a veryeasy symbol to remember both in its drawing and in its lifemanifestation. In addition, the association of Cancer with the crabconstellation reveals an archetype with a very protective outernature that serves to hide a very soft, sensitive core. Cancerrepresents emotional and home security.

巨蟹座：巨蟹座的符號象徵胸，也就是說明了巨蟹和胸有關；由巨蟹座的神話可以想像，有一種家的感覺，同時也和忌妒有關。另一方面也有人指出，其實巨蟹座的符號是象徵巨蟹的甲殼，由此也可看出巨蟹座所具自我保護特質，和隱藏的習慣。

LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22)

The symbol for Leo, "The Lion," has two differentmeanings traditionally. We can see it as the tail of an arousedlion or as the symbol of the heart and its two valves. It is astrong, domineering, prideful, vain, creative influence with acentral requirement for recognition, respect, love, andhonor.

獅子座：獅子座的符號象徵獅子的尾巴，高高揚起的尾巴，充分顯示了獅子的個性；由獅子座的神話可以聯想到，獅子的勇敢和善戰。由獅子去聯想獅子座的特性，很容易就可以想到很多，高貴、同情心，王者之風，但是別忘了，母獅子才是出外狩獵的。

VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23)

Virgo is misleadingly given the name "Virgin." Thisnaturally leads the mind into thoughts connected with sexualinexperience. The virginity associated with Virgo actually relatesto discernment, to the idealism of choice. Think of a woman cuttingdown virgin wheat stalks with a scythe.

處女座：處女座的符號象徵女性的生殖器，或許不容易看出，但如果你注意看右半邊，就可以發現；處女座的神話中，可看出收成的意涵。由處女去聯想處女座的特質，也可以發現一些，如小心、謹慎、沈靜和羞怯。由另一方面，處女也代表了聰穎和敏銳。

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)

The symbol for Libra shows two halves of one unit,signifying Libra"s zodiacal reign over partnership and marriage. Inaddition, the symbol shows a setting Sun balanced between day andnight, the operative word being "balanced."

天秤座：天秤座的符號象徵一桿秤子，希臘字母Ω代表了衡量，而下面的-則代表了衡量的基礎。在天秤座的神話中可以看出天秤座公平的特質。但由那一桿秤子，可以看出天秤座追求平衡的基本念頭，同時，搖擺不定的秤子也表現出天秤座的猶豫不決。

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)

The symbol for Scorpio is easily confused with thesymbol for Virgo. The important distinction between the two is thatthe Scorpio symbol has a pointed tail on it to show the Scorpion"ssting. This is a deeply complex, emotional archetype that runs thegamut from being extremely emotional and passionate to soaring thehigh realms of mystery, to being inspired by spirituality andreligion.

天蠍座：天蠍座的符號象徵男性的生殖器，和處女座有點像，也要由右半邊去想像；由天蠍座的神話中，可以知道天蠍座忌妒的來源。由男性生殖器可以知道天蠍座的慾望，另一方面，也有人認為天蠍座的符號是象徵蠍子的甲殼和毒針，表現出復仇的特質。

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21)

The traditional symbol for the Sagittariusconstellation depicts an arrow being shot from its bow by acentaur. Sagittarius is connected with a strong thrust of thought-- often idealistic -- an outpouring of ideas in an enthusiastic,to-the-point manner that is often seen by others as impulsive, evenbrusque.

射手座：射手座的符號象徵射手的箭，回到象形的簡單形式；由射手座的神話可以看出射手座的智慧和愛好自由。射手的原型是拿弓箭的人馬，下半身的馬象徵追求絕對自由，上半身的人象徵知識和智慧，而手中的箭，則表現出射手的攻擊性和傷人的一面。
