Les signes du zodiaque
Whether you are really into astrology, enjoy reading your horoscope for a bit of fun, or just want to be able to ask and answer that classic pick-up line,* this page on signs of the zodiac can help.
Les Signes
Interestingly, English has kept the Latin names for signs of the zodiac, whereas French uses the literal translations for most of them.
| Sign | (meaning) | Signe | |
| Aries | (Ram) | le Bélier | |
| Taurus | (Bull) | le Taureau | |
| Gemini | (Twins) | les Gémeaux | |
| Cancer | (Crab) | le Cancer | |
| Leo | (Lion) | le Lion | |
| Virgo | (Maiden) | la Vierge | |
| Libra | (Scales) | la Balance | |
| Scorpio | (Scorpion) | le Scorpion | |
| Sagittarius | (Centaur) | le Sagittaire | |
| Capricorn | (Goat-horned) | le Capricorne | |
| Aquarius | (Water-bearer) | le Verseau | |
| Pisces | (Fish) | les Poissons |
Par exemple…
| * What’s your sign? | Quel est ton signe ? | |
| I’m a(n) Aries, Taurus … | Je suis Bélier / Taureau … or Je suis du Bélier / Taureau … |
|
| I’m a Gemini / Pisces. | Je suis (des) Gémeaux / Poissons. | |
| I’m a Virgo / Libra. | Je suis (de la) Vierge / Balance. |
Note that the preposition de + definite article is optional – it’s definitely easier to omit it out so that you don’t have to worry about gender / number. 🙂
