I had to tell.

How does your zodiac sign sound in English? And what vocabulary is used to describe it? In the article we will analyze all the signs of the zodiac in English and those words and expressions with which you can easily keep up the conversation.

The vocabulary will be useful whether or not you believe in astrology. Firstly, everyone faces the signs of the zodiac: their names are firmly entrenched in life and are often found in works of art. And the more topics in which you feel free, the more confident your English. Secondly, each astrological type describes a certain character, and you can use this vocabulary when talking about a person’s character, even without referring to the zodiac sign.

Latin names

Everyone is familiar with the names of the signs of the zodiac in Russian. There are twelve astrological types according to the arrangement of stars and planets. Depending on the date of birth, we belong to one of them.

In English, the expression "zodiac sign" looks like zodiac signs or sign of the zodiac. And what do the names of the zodiac signs themselves sound like? And is it easy to draw a parallel with the notation familiar to us? Here are all the names of the signs of the zodiac in English.

Many words look strange to us. They are quite different from what we are used to. The complexity of this vocabulary is that we cannot simply translate Russian names into modern English. For example, the zodiac sign Aries sounds in English - it's not ram (ram), as in modern language, but Aries.

Why is this happening? Because the English system uses Latin words for the signs of the zodiac. Even the word zodiac (zodiac) itself comes from the Latin zōdiacus, which, in turn, takes its roots in the ancient Greek language. In English, zodiac is translated as a circle of animals (circle of animals): many astrological signs have the names of animals, and the relationship of elements and cyclicality are traditionally indicated with a circle.

Among the signs of the zodiac there are words, the meaning of which, without a preliminary acquaintance, is hardly possible to guess. For example, Aries(Aries), Gemini(Gemini) or Pisces(Fish). Word Sagittarius formed from the word sagitta (arrow) and the suffix -ārius, which means "armed, possessing arrows." The connection between Latin and modern English has not been fixed here.

In other words, we find familiar roots. For example, the zodiac Scorpio - Scorpio. And the sign of Leo in English is, although not the modern word lion (lion), but similar to it Leo: so the word sounded in the Latin tradition. Now Leo is also used as a male name.

It is easy to trace the connection of Latin with modern English for some other signs. Virgo(Virgo) has the same root as the word virgin (virgin). Cancer(Cancer) is also fixed as the name of the disease: in medicine there is a tradition to use Latin expressions. For Aquarius the translation of the sign of the zodiac literally means "carrying water." In Latin, this word looked like aquarius, and the root aqua (water) has been preserved in modern vocabulary: aquarium (aquarium) or aquamarine (aquamarine stone or the name of the corresponding green-blue color).

All the above names have two meanings. They are used both to represent the twelve signs and to indicate a person who was born under the corresponding type. Note that zodiac signs in English are always capitalized.

There is another concept closely related to the signs of the zodiac - these are horoscopes: advice, predictions for each sign for a certain period of time. In English, the word sounds like a horoscope and came into the language through Latin from ancient Greek.
