占星学所用的各种符号，都有其一定的意义，在此就星座的符号作一个简单的介绍。
ARIES (Mar1. 21- April 20)
The symbol for Aries, "The Ram2," suggests an upright, bold scepter of authority with the horns of a ram flaring3 from its top end. Aries is the first Sign of the zodiac. What's suggested here is the combination of authority with the Arian tendency to forge ahead individualistically, courageously4, with aggression5, a thrust of spirit, usually without caution.
白羊座：白羊座的符号象征羊的头，是一种象形的方法，取出羊最明显的羊角和鼻梁部分；由白羊座的神话可以联想到一些特质，例如冲动、勇往直前。而由另一方面，也有人指白羊座的符号是象征新生的绿芽，表现出大地新生和欣欣向荣的景象。
TAURUS (Apr. 21 - May 21)
The symbol for Taurus, "The Bull", when compared to the Aries symbol, immediately shows heaviness, organization; it is stolid6, stubborn.It is when you try to take the bull out of its pattern that it becomes agitated7 and shows its temperament8.This description of the bull's nature coupled with its stolid symbol gives us a clear explanation of the Taurean archetype.
金牛座：金牛座的符号象征了牛的头，也是以简单的线条描绘出牛的形象；由金牛座的神话可以发现，金牛座的外表温驯，但内心充满欲望。由另一方面看，圆圆的牛脸表现出安逸和享乐，但上面的牛角则提示我们脾气有爆发的时候。
GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)
The symbol for Gemini, "The Twins," immediately projects the idea of duality, of more than one thing at a time. It shows two staves or scepters or two arms or both lungs. One feels parallel polarity issues.There is constant activity and stimulation9 and, because of this, energies will tend to go from one thing to another to maintain the sense of new excitement.
双子座：双子座的符号象征双胞胎，相较於前两个符号，就比较抽象了一点；由双子座的神话可以知道双子座的二元性和内在的矛盾。其实双子座所代表的不只是二元性，而是所谓的多元，一方面可以看出其广，一方面也暗示了可能的肤浅。
CANCER (June 22 - July 22)
Cancer's symbol depicts10 the breasts. This is a very easy symbol to remember both in its drawing and in its life manifestation11. In addition, the association of Cancer with the crab12 constellation13 reveals an archetype with a very protective outer nature that serves to hide a very soft, sensitive core. Cancer represents emotional and home security.
巨蟹座：巨蟹座的符号象征胸，也就是说明了巨蟹和胸有关；由巨蟹座的神话可以想像，有一种家的感觉，同时也和忌妒有关。另一方面也有人指出，其实巨蟹座的符号是象征巨蟹的甲壳，由此也可看出巨蟹座所具自我保护特质，和隐藏的习惯。
LEO (July 23 - Aug. 22)
The symbol for Leo, "The Lion," has two different meanings traditionally. We can see it as the tail of an aroused lion or as the symbol of the heart and its two valves. It is a strong, domineering, prideful, vain, creative influence with a central requirement for recognition, respect, love, and honor.
狮子座：狮子座的符号象征狮子的尾巴，高高扬起的尾巴，充分显示了狮子的个性；由狮子座的神话可以联想到，狮子的勇敢和善战。由狮子去联想狮子座的特性，很容易就可以想到很多，高贵、同情心，王者之风，但是别忘了，母狮子才是出外狩猎的。
VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23)
Virgo is misleadingly given the name "Virgin14." This naturally leads the mind into thoughts connected with sexual inexperience. The virginity associated with Virgo actually relates to discernment, to the idealism of choice. Think of a woman cutting down virgin wheat stalks with a scythe15.
处女座：处女座的符号象征女性的生殖器，或许不容易看出，但如果你注意看右半边，就可以发现；处女座的神话中，可看出收成的意涵。由处女去联想处女座的特质，也可以发现一些，如小心、谨慎、沈静和羞怯。由另一方面，处女也代表了聪颖和敏锐。
LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23)
The symbol for Libra shows two halves of one unit, signifying Libra's zodiacal reign16 over partnership17 and marriage. In addition, the symbol shows a setting Sun balanced between day and night, the operative word being "balanced."
天秤座：天秤座的符号象征一杆秤子，希腊字母Ω代表了衡量，而下面的-则代表了衡量的基础。在天秤座的神话中可以看出天秤座公平的特质。但由那一杆秤子，可以看出天秤座追求平衡的基本念头，同时，摇摆不定的秤子也表现出天秤座的犹豫不决。
SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22)
The symbol for Scorpio is easily confused with the symbol for Virgo. The important distinction between the two is that the Scorpio symbol has a pointed18 tail on it to show the Scorpion's sting. This is a deeply complex, emotional archetype that runs the gamut19 from being extremely emotional and passionate20 to soaring the high realms of mystery, to being inspired by spirituality and religion.
天蝎座：天蝎座的符号象征男性的生殖器，和处女座有点像，也要由右半边去想像；由天蝎座的神话中，可以知道天蝎座忌妒的来源。由男性生殖器可以知道天蝎座的欲望，另一方面，也有人认为天蝎座的符号是象征蝎子的甲壳和毒针，表现出复仇的特质。
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21)
The traditional symbol for the Sagittarius constellation depicts an arrow being shot from its bow by a centaur21. 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 impulsive22, even brusque.
射手座：射手座的符号象征射手的箭，回到象形的简单形式；由射手座的神话可以看出射手座的智慧和爱好自由。射手的原型是拿弓箭的人马，下半身的马象征追求绝对自由，上半身的人象征知识和智慧，而手中的箭，则表现出射手的攻击性和伤人的一面。
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20)
The Capricorn symbol is the most difficult to learn to draw. It takes practice.The Capricorn archetype is essentially23 connected with affecting progress and making things happen. Capricorn is a Sign of leadership, ambition, practicality, and patience.
摩羯座：摩羯座的符号象征羊的头和鱼的尾，抽象但基本上是象形的；由摩羯座的神话我们可以知道摩羯的担心和恐惧。摩羯座又称山羊座，这是由於其上半身的山羊形象所致，有一种向上登峰的欲求，但别忘了，在水面之下摩羯座也有象征感情的鱼尾。
AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19)
Aquarius is called "The Water Bearer." This is the name given to this Sign from the constellation in which it was formerly24 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 progress and humanitarianism25.
水瓶座：水瓶座的符号象征水和空气的波，是具象但又抽象的；由水瓶座的神话中，可以看出水瓶座的爱好自由和个人主义。象征水瓶座的波，是高度知性的代表，由波的特性去思考水瓶座的特质，看似有规律但没有具体的形象，是一个不可预测的星座。
PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20)
The symbol for Pisces shows two fish, back to back, swimming in opposite directions, both joined by a horizon line of earthly experience.Swimming in opposite directions in water suggests emotional confusion, the importance of finding one's way in the higher realms. there is the idea of Pisces bringing deep, subconscious26 sensitivity down to earth, joining consciousness with the subconscious.
双鱼座：双鱼座的符号象征两条鱼，而其中有一条丝带将它们连系在一起；由双鱼座的神话中可以联想到双鱼座逃避的特质。双鱼座的两条鱼是分别游向两个方向，除了表现出双鱼座的二元性之外，也象征了双鱼座的矛盾和复杂。
