You, for certain, faced with the fact that they themselves are not able to recognize their sign of the zodiac: in the horoscope, in the magazine, in the newspaper. Agree, very annoying that the characters so little correspond to the name of the sign of the zodiac. However, in all these hacks there is a deep, ancient meaning.
Elements
Before proceeding to the symbols, we will deal with the elements of the zodiac signs.
The element of fire means action, activity, energy . Three signs of this element - the Lion, Sagittarius and Aries with the element of eternal movement and inexhaustible energy and go through life, always only forward.
The elements of the earth are Capricorn, Taurus, Virgo. In a word, the most correct way to characterize both the elements and the signs that govern it is stability. The people born under the element of the earth are materialistic, "dry", tidy and tend to set their own exclusively correct order everywhere.
The element of air - Libra, Aquarius, Gemini. These marks, thanks to the influence of the air, show the ability to create contacts, negotiate, adapt. Exchange of experience - characterizes the elements of the Earth, and its signs are considered intellectuals and generators of ideas.
Water element - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces. Water is feelings, slowing down and memory. With the external variability of life, inside these signs retain an enviable constancy. Signs of water are dreamy and sensitive, but most of all they show secrecy, for their water world is not accessible to anyone's understanding.
Symbols
Now we can safely proceed to the meaning of the symbols of the signs of the zodiac.
- Aries is easy to recognize, as the symbol is depicted in the form of two mutton horns. But this is only a superficial understanding, since this symbol is a great explosion, the beginning of life in the universe. The character traits of Aries really show some explosive power.
- Taurus looks like a bull's head and two horns. The head is a circle, means the earth, and the horns to the moon. This combination means the harmony of space and matter, and the Taurus during their lifetime is the accumulation of material and engaged.
- Gemini - the graphic symbol of this sign of the zodiac looks like two never connected parallel arcs, which in the middle are fastened together by two straight lines. The upper and lower arc is the personification of two moons that divide the soul of the Twins into two parts. And this duality and sometimes dissimilarity to oneself is very characteristic of all those born under this sign.
- Cancer is depicted in the form of two semicircles, which are closed in one ring. There are two interpretations of this image. The first is a woman's breast, which does not contradict the feminine nature of Rakov. The second is an ovum, which denotes the origin of life.
- The lion has even more interpretations. Firstly, it can be a lion's mane, but still such an elementary answer is unlikely. Secondly, the figure can designate two heart valves, because this sign just patronizes the heart. However, most likely, the graphic image is a sperm, which only confirms the courageous nature of Lviv, and speaks about the ability of humanity to produce offspring.
- The sign of the Virgin is very similar to the Scorpio symbol - it is a Latin letter "M" with a tail, which in the Virgo figure sticks into itself. This image means that the Virgin takes energy from the whole world and structures it.
- The scales , on the one hand, look really like measuring scales, but in a deeper sense, their sign is the sunset. Since on the heavenly clock Libra is opposite Aries, which signify the dawn, this sign symbolizes the harmony between the physical and the spiritual.
- Scorpio looks the same as Virgo, but only the "tail" looks outward, which indicates that Scorpio does not take, but on the contrary, gives energy to the world.
- Sagittarius is represented as an arrow. This sign denotes a centaur, who goes forward and shoots back. This is the arrow symbol for human karma, since Sagittarius relieves us of
previous mistakes and giving the law leads forward. - Capricorn - this is not just a picture of a goat, it's a goat with a fish tail - a symbol of Enke's god in ancient Sumer. Perfection takes place in this sign.
- Aquarius is two waves, meaning dead and living water. The meaning of this sign is the provision of the essence of higher intelligence.
- Fish - a sign of two fish, going in different directions and intertwined with a thin ribbon. It is this symbol that allows Pisces, as well as to endure, and to swim against the current. And the ribbon is a sign of belonging of Pisces to a different world, to life after death.
