The modern astrological signs are the simplified pictures of the signs used in the Hellenistic times. These are the twelve aspects the signs represent:

Aries (The Ram) - (21 March - 19 April)
Taurus (The Bull) - (20 April - 20 May)
Gemini (The Twins) - (21 May - 20 June, and 23 October - 21 November)
Cancer (The Crab) - (21 June - 22 July)
Leo (The Lion) - (23 July - 22 August)
Virgo (The Virgin) - (23 August - 22 September)
Libra (The Scale) - (23 September - 22 October)
Scorpius (The Scorpion) - (23 October - 21 November)
Sagittarius (The Centaur-Archer) - (22 November - 19 December)
Capricorn (The Sea-Goat) - (22 December - 19 January)
Aquarius (The Water-Bearer) - (20 January - 18 February)
Pisces (The Fish) - (19 February - 20 March, and 21 May - 20 June)

A person's Zodiac sign is determined by at what time and on what day they are born.

In the Chinese Zodiac, years match twelve animals in turn.
