The signs of the zodiac



As you may have noticed, there is a new device on my blog thanks to which you can check your daily horoscope. Even if you don't actually believe in horoscopes, reading such descriptions every day is a good method to enlarge your vocabulary (=poszerzyć słownictwo). Below you can check the names of the signs of the zodiac in English.
The first names are Latin names, the second ones are English translations and third come the Polish equivalents :

 Aries /ˈeəriːz/; The Ram - Baran


Taurus /ˈtɔːrəs/; The Bull - Byk

 Gemini /ˈdʒemɪnaɪ/; The Twins - Bliźnięta

 Cancer /ˈkænsə(r)/; The Crab - Rak

 Leo /ˈliːəʊ/; The Lion - Lew

 Virgo /ˈvɜːɡəʊ/; The Maiden - Panna

 Libra /ˈliːbrə/; The Scales - Waga

 Scorpio /ˈskɔːpiəʊ/; The Scorpion - Skorpion

 Sagittarius /ˌsædʒɪˈteəriəs/; The Archer - Strzelec

Capricorn / ˈkæprɪkɔːn/; The Goat - Koziorożec

 Aquarius /əˈkweəriəs/; The Water-Bearer - Wodnik

 Pisces /ˈpaɪsiːz/; The Fish - Ryby



Do you read horoscopes? Do you believe that one's character may be determined by their zodiac sign
