Some of the most popular tattoo designs today are those of Zodiac signs and if you are thinking of getting one, its better you know what they mean – for after all, you are going to be stuck with it permanently!
The word Zodiac as it is used today comes from the Greek words z?diakos kuklos, which literally mean a ‘circle of animals’. It’s quite apparent what could’ve inspired such a terminology in ancient astronomy – almost all of the twelve symbols depict animals. Although the Zodiac remains one of the ecliptic coordinate systems used in astronomy even today, these twelve symbols and their names are mostly used in horoscopes and astrology.
Aquarius also known as the water bearer is usually represented by a couple of jagged horizontal lines. Obviously this symbolizes water waves, and is also sometimes depicted as a man pouring water from a pitcher. This sign is usually associated with the color blue. If your birthday falls on or between Jan 20th and Feb 18th, this is your sun sign. The Aquarian is said to be very independent, inventive, loyal and intuitive but also careless and eccentric.
Pisces also known as the fish is depicted by two fish swimming in opposing directions. These tattoo symbols are usually found in a soft sea green color – the color associated with the sun sign. You are a Piscean if your birthday falls on or between Feb 20th and March 20th. The Piscean is said to be very sensitive, flexible, humble and friendly but also very indecisive and unorganized. 
Aries symbolized by the ram is often depicted as the curvy horns of the ram. The color associated with this sun sign is red. You would fall under this sun sign if your birthday falls on or between March 21st and April 20th. Just like the daring and aggressive ram, those that fall under this sign are supposed to be very brave, adventurous, smart and enthusiastic but they can also be very hot tempered, egoistic and impulsive.
Taurus, also known as the bull is denoted by the title animal. The signs are usually symbolized by a circle (a round face) with a semi-circle sitting on top of the circle denoting the horns of the bull. The color most often associated with this sign is pink (surprisingly!) You fall under this sun sign if your birthday falls on or between April 21st and May 21st. Much like the animal the sign represents, these people are said to be a bit possessive, lazy and stubborn. Their good qualities however are that they are very practical, responsible and hence very reliable.
The Symbolism Behind Libra Tattoos
Posted by: | CommentsWhen someone has a Libra as their zodiac sign, they found that there are three different ways that they can display their sign as a tattoo. Here are the three libra tattoos that people use.
Libra Zodiac Symbol
This is often known as the glyph and it’s the best known of the three libra tattoos available. It’s known to be representative of the sun going down, and it symbolizes a new day. it’s also known to show Libra’s nature for staying in the road’s middle. The middle of the symbol, which is a rising bump, demonstrates that Libras stay have a balance on an issues sides without hurting the other side. One last interpretation of this symbol is a symbol that looks like the equal sign. The rising bump that is on the first line shows the justice that the Libra has.
Scales
Another common of the libra tattoos is the scales. The symbol is because of the balanced nature of Libra. A lot of Libra tattos feature the scales as equal and not usually unbalanced. This is due to the fact that most Libras are concerned with balance. They want to make sure that their daily life is balanced at both scale ends. The libra tattoos help to remind the Libras to look for harmony in their life each and every day.
Libra Constellation
The final of the libra tattoos that Libras often get is the Libra constellation. There are four stars that make up the Libra constellation.
• Sigma Librae
• Gamma Librae
• Beta Librae(which is the constellation’s brightest star)
• Alpha Librae
Due to the constellation’s shape, there are a couple of theories about why the constellation shows Libra’s balance.
• Alpha and Beta are the scale’s two sides and the arms which are strutting out from the sides are the scale’s pans.
• A theory that H.A. Ray came up with is the fact that Beta is the top tier, Alpha and Gamma are the second, and the three other Librae stars make the third tier. This is a theory that makes a layer system that is more balanced.
For those people who are interested in getting libra tattoos, there are some ideas about what you can get.
• Libra glyph tattoos are great small tattoos, worn on the wrist’s inside, between a person’s shoulder blades, and on the lower back.
• Libra scales are a nice addition for ankle, back, or foreceps. They are good to combine with things like celestial bodies.
Libra tattoos are wonderful for people who are Libras or who just believe in balance and equality in the world. They are something that is very versatile in the size that a person wants in their tattoo and where they want it to be on their bodies. They can also be put together with other tattoos to make a more complete tattoo. Libra tattoos are something that are unique and something that can show everyone what the person with the tattoo believes in.
