Understanding zodiac signs in Spanish starts with learning their names and corresponding date ranges. Just like in English, each signo del zodiaco (zodiac sign) is associated with specific dates based on when the sun enters that constellation. Here are all 12 zodiac signs in Spanish with their date ranges:
Aries: 21 de marzo al 19 de abril
(Aries: March 21st to April 19th)
Tauro: 20 de abril al 20 de mayo
(Taurus: April 20th to May 20th)
Géminis: 21 de mayo al 20 de junio
(Gemini: May 21st to June 20th)
Cáncer: 21 de junio al 22 de julio
(Cancer: June 21st to July 22nd)
Leo: 23 de julio al 22 de agosto
(Leo: July 23rd to August 22nd)
Virgo: 23 de agosto al 22 de septiembre
(Virgo: August 23rd to September 22nd)
Libra: 23 de septiembre al 22 de octubre
(Libra: September 23rd to October 22nd)
Escorpio/Escorpión: 23 de octubre al 21 de noviembre
(Scorpio: October 23rd to November 21st)
Sagitario: 22 de noviembre al 21 de diciembre
(Sagittarius: November 21st to December 19th)

(Aquarius: January 20th to February 18th)
Piscis: 19 de febrero al 20 de marzo
(Pisces: February 19th to March 20th)
Once you know the zodiac signs in Spanish, you'll want to use them in conversation! The most common way to ask someone about their zodiac sign is:
"¿Qué signo eres?" (What sign are you?) - informal
"¿Qué signo es usted?" (What sign are you?) - formal
To respond, you simply say: "Yo soy [zodiac sign]" (I am [zodiac sign]). However, in some Latin American countries, particularly Argentina, you'll hear a different construction using the preposition de:
¿Y de qué signo sos? Yo, de Sagitario.
And what is your sign? Me, Sagittarius.

Learning zodiac signs in Spanish goes beyond just memorizing names. In Spanish astrology, the twelve signs are grouped into four elementos (elements): fuego (fire), tierra (earth), aire (air), and agua (water). Understanding these elements helps you discuss personality traits and compatibility in Spanish.
Los signos de fuego (The Fire Signs): Aries, Leo, Sagitario
Los signos de tierra (The Earth Signs): Tauro, Virgo, Capricornio
Los signos de aire (The Air Signs): Géminis, Libra, Acuario
Los signos de agua (The Water Signs): Cáncer, Escorpio, Piscis
Each element is associated with specific rasgos de personalidad (character traits). For example:
No, los de Aries son re jodidos, loca. Sí, la madre superiora es de Aries ¡y la verdad que tiene un humor! Es re agreta.
No, Aries [people] are really difficult, dude. Yes, the Mother Superior is Aries and the truth is that she has a temper! She is so grumpy.

When discussing zodiac signs in Spanish, you'll often encounter terms related to horoscopes and astrological predictions. Here's essential Spanish astrology vocabulary:
Los horóscopos - horoscopes
Una carta astral - astrological chart
Predecir - to predict
Rasgos de personalidad - personality traits
La astronomía - astronomy
La astrología - astrology
Nos valemos de la carta astral, que es la fotografía que se toma del cielo en el momento en que alguien nace, para ver la ubicación que tenían los planetas en ese momento
We use the astrological chart, which is the photograph that is taken of the sky at the moment in which someone is born, to see the location that the planets had at that moment

Spanish newspapers and magazines often feature daily horoscopes for each zodiac sign:
Cáncer: Hoy habrá problemas en casa.
Cancer: Today there will be problems at home.

However, astrologers remind us that generalized horoscopes aren't as precise as individual charts:
Los horóscopos son una aproximación a una predicción signo por signo pero no son tan precisos puesto que no hay una carta específica de una persona, sino es en general para los signos.
Horoscopes are an approximation of a prediction sign-by-sign, but they are not so accurate since there isn't a chart specific to a person, but rather it is in general for the signs.
