十二星座符號大揭密

占星學所用的各種符號都有其一定的意義，想對自己的星座符號有一個簡單的了解嗎?

Every symbol has its meaning. Don't you want to get a general understanding of your symbol?

◆ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20)◆

The symbol for Aries， \"The Ram，\" suggests an upright， bold scepter of authority with the horns of a ram flaring 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， courageously， with aggression， a thrust of spirit， usually without caution.白羊座的符號象征羊的頭，是一種象形的方法，取出羊最明顯的羊角和鼻梁部分；由白羊座的神話可以聯想到一些特質，例如沖動、勇往直前。而由另一方面，也有人指白羊座的符號是象征新生的綠芽，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 to the Aries symbol， immediately shows heaviness， organization; it is stolid， stubborn. It is when you try to take the bull out of its pattern that it becomes agitated and shows its temperament. This description of the bull's nature coupled with its stolid symbol gives us a clear explanation of the Taurean archetype. 金牛座的符號象征了牛的頭，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，但內心充滿欲望。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，\" 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 stimulation and， because of this， energies will tend to go from one thing to another to maintain the sense of new excitement. 雙子座的符號象征雙胞胎，相較于前兩個符號，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 very easy symbol to remember both in its drawing and in its life manifestation. In addition， the association of Cancer with the crab constellation reveals an archetype with a very protective outer nature that serves to hide a very soft and sensitive core. Cancer represents emotional and home security.巨蟹座的符號象征胸，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征巨蟹的甲殼，由此也可看出巨蟹座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 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. 獅子座的符號象征獅子的尾巴，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。

◆VIRGO (Aug. 23 - Sept. 23)◆

Virgo is misleadingly given the name \"Virgin.\" This naturally leads the mind into thoughts connected with female body. 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 scythe. 處女座的符號象征女性的身體，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. In addition， the symbol shows a setting Sun balanced between day and night， the operative word being \"balanced.\" 天秤座的符號象征一桿秤子，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 the symbol for Virgo. The important distinction between the two is that the Scorpio symbol has a pointed tail on it to show the Scorpion's sting. This is a deeply complex， emotional archetype that runs the gamut from being extremely emotional and passionate to soaring the high realms of mystery， to being inspired by spirituality and religion. 天蝎座的符號象征男性的身體，和處女座有點像，也要由右半邊去想像；由天蝎座的神話中，可以知道天蝎座忌妒的來源。由男性的身體特征可以知道天蝎座的欲望，另一方面，也有人認為天蝎座的符號是象征蝎子的甲殼和毒針，表現出復仇的特質。

◆ SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21)◆

The traditional symbol for the Sagittarius constellation depicts an arrow being shot from its bow by a centaur. 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， even brusque.射手座的符號象征射手的箭，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，下半身的馬象征追求絕對自由，上半身的人象征知識和智慧，而手中的箭，則表現出射手的攻擊性和傷人的一面。

◆CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20)◆

The Capricorn symbol is the most difficult to learn to draw. It takes practice. The Capricorn archetype is essentially connected with affecting progress and making things happen. Capricorn is a Sign of leadership， ambition， practicality and patience.摩羯座的符號象征羊的頭和魚的尾，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，這是由于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征感情的魚尾。

◆AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19)◆

Aquarius is called \"The Water Bearer.\" This is the name given to this Sign from the constellation in which 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 progress and humanitarianism. 水瓶座的符號象征水和空氣的波，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 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， subconscious sensitivity down to earth， joining consciousness with the subconscious. 雙魚座的符號象征兩條魚，而其中有一條絲帶將它們連系在一起；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，也象征了雙魚座的矛盾和復雜。
