Zodiac

The Zodiac is the twelve constellations in the form of animals, humans or objects.

Western zodiac

The modern astrological signs are the simplified pictures of the signs used in the Hellenistic times. These are the twelve aspects the signs represent:

Aries (The Ram) - (21 March - 19 April)
Taurus (The Bull) - (20 April - 20 May)
Gemini (The Twins) - (21 May - 20 June)
Cancer (The Crab) - (21 June - 22 July)
Leo (The Lion) - (23 July - 22 August)
Virgo (The Virgin) - (23 August - 22 September)
Libra (The Scale) - (23 September - 22 October)
Scorpio (The Scorpion) - (23 October - 21 November)
Sagittarius (The Centaur-Archer) - (22 November - 21 December)
Capricorn (The Sea-Goat) - (22 December - 20 January)
Aquarius (The Water-Bearer) - (20 January - 18 February)
Pisces (The Fish) - (19 February - 20 March)

A person's Zodiac sign is determined by at what time and on what day they are born. The Meteorological Signs do the same thing.

In the Chinese zodiac, years match twelve animals in turn.
