The History of Zodiac Symbols

Zodiac symbols, known formally as glyphs, trace back to Babylonian astronomy and were later refined by Greek and Roman astrologers. Each symbol is a stylized pictograph — Aries' glyph resembles a ram's horns, Taurus' resembles a bull's head, and Libra's resembles a set of balanced scales. These symbols have remained largely unchanged for roughly two thousand years, appearing consistently across astrological texts, art, and jewelry.
