Here are the symbols used in Western astrology to represent the astrological signs:

The modern western astrological signs are simplifications of conventional pictorial representations of the signs, used since Hellenistic times.

The figures also represent ecliptic longitudes for a tropical zodiac where 0° Aries is understood as the vernal equinox:

- Aries (0°) (The Ram)
- Taurus (30°) (The Bull)
- Gemini (60°) (The Twins)
- Cancer (90°) (The Crab)
- Leo (120°) (The Lion)
- Virgo (150°) (The Virgin)
- Libra (180°) (The Scale)
- Scorpio (210°) (The Scorpion)
- Sagittarius (240°) (The Archer)
- Capricorn (270°) (The Sea-goat)
- Aquarius (300°) (The Water-bearer)
- Pisces (330°) (The Fish)

Traditional Hindu astrology has a sidereal coordinate zodiac system with twelve signs. The names of the Hindu zodiacal signs, or ra-s’is, are similar to Graeco-Babylonian signs:

1. mes.a “ram” (Aries)
2. vr.s.abha “bull” (Taurus)
3. mithuna “a pair” (Gemini)
4. karka “crab” (Cancer)
5. sim.ha “lion” (Leo)
6. kanya- “maiden” (Virgo)
7. tula, from tula- “balance” (Libra)
8. vrushchik “scorpion” (Scorpius), also kaurpi, loaned from the Greek
9. ka-rmuka, ca-pa, dhanus “bow, arc”, ca-pin “armed with a bow” (Sagittarius)
10. en.a, mr.ga “antelope”, also makara “sea-monster” (Capricornus)
11. kumbha “pitcher, water-pot” (Aquarius)
12. matsya “fish”, also jhas.a, timi, mi-na after specific kinds of fish (Pisces)

This “Hindu zodiac” (adhvan, ra-s’i) thus has similarities to Greek zodiac. The Graeco-Babylonian system of twelve signs overlays the native Hindu system of nine grahas or planets.

Astrology is a fascinating subject and one that is followed by many. Many people not only are interested in it, they also follow astrological predictions. People who are interested in astrology often look for an astrologer at one time or another. If you are looking for an astrologer there are some things you should think about before you begin your search.

It is not hard to find someone who will help guide you in the area of astrology. First of all though, you need to know which kind of astrology you are interested in.

There are people who think that astrology will lead them to the love of their life or supply them with winning numbers for lotteries or horse races. If this is the type of astrology information you are hoping to get from an astrologer you may be greatly disappointed.

On the other hand if you wish to know yourself better and receive help with the world you live in, an astrologer may be just the answer. An astrologer can give you options and offer suggestions after talking with you. A good astrologer will be able to use the information you give them to guide you according to the energies in your life.

There are astrologers that use astrology to deal with finances. Astrology is also used in psychological situations where therapy is involved. Karmic astrologers use astrology and incorporate it into the spiritual realm. You need to know what you are looking for before you contact an astrologer.

The best astrologers do not use astrology to tell people what to do. They work as guides and use astrology as a forecasting tool. We need to take that information and decide how we will use it.
