Zodiac Symbol Meanings

The zodiac symbol meanings are pretty fascinating.

Most everyone knows their zodiac sign so it's not uncommon to see people with a bumper sticker, t-shirt, or even a tattoo representing their zodiac sign.

Not many people, however, know about their actual meanings.

When I first became interested in astrology, I was very curious about the intriguing symbolism of the zodiac signs and wondered if they had some deeper meaning.

Let's take a brief look into their meanings to see their overall purpose.

First of all, there are 12 different zodiac signs and they all have their own particular meanings.

The symbols of these zodiac signs are actually called glyphs.

A lot of the symbol meanings have to do with the actual nature and purpose of the particular zodiac sign it represents.

The most obvious purpose of the glyphs is for quick identification purposes. This is especially true for astrologers to be able to instantly recognize each sign by its glyph.

For instance, if you take a look at the symbol for Aries it instantly conjures up images of the horns on a ram.

Upon closer inspection of each zodiac sign, the highest truth of that sign's purpose is powerfully symbolized by its glyph.

Below are each of the zodiac signs for you to explore:
