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.
The Signs – 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. 🙂
