Zodiac Signs in Spanish: Your Personality and Horoscope Resources

Knowing about the Zodiac in Spanish will undoubtedly help you strengthen your Spanish-speaking skills and engage in meaningful conversations with other Spanish speakers! 

It will also let you go deeper into your and other people’s personalities. Now, you may know that Aries in Spanish is, well, Aries. Easy, right? In Spanish it’s pronounced Ah-ree-ehs. All zodiac signs in English are pretty similar in Spanish. Aries, Tauro, Geminis, and so on. But what do you know about each zodiac sign? Do you know which signs are compatible with yours? 

Also, how often do you have a fully-fledged conversation in Spanish about astrology or the horoscope? 

Don’t worry. We got you covered. 

Here are a few tips and tricks, vocabulary guides, and even a few Netflix shows to help you become a zodiac expert in Spanish. 

What Are Zodiac Signs?

Let’s start with the basics: zodiac signs in Spanish are called los signos del zodiaco. 

Now, what are they, exactly? 

According to Western astrology, the zodiac signs are the twelve 30-degree sectors that make up Earth’s 360-degree orbit around the sun, and a different constellation represents each. 

Simply put, your birthday determines your zodiac sign. Let’s say you were born on January 19—then you’d be a Capricorn. Or were you born on January 20? Then you’re an Aquarius. It’s only a one-day difference that changes the fate of your zodiac sign. And we’ll get into why that is later on in this article.

From here, we’ll explore all the zodiac signs in Spanish and what they represent. What’s more, I’ll give you a list of adjectives that describe the strengths and weaknesses of each zodiac sign. 

Finally, you’ll learn about fire signs and earth signs and how these determine a sign’s personality. For example, Taurus is an earth sign, and Taurus is considered more grounded than, say, people born under an air sign. Taurus, also, is not compatible with Aries.

You can jump straight to your sign and then read the rest or read them all in order!

List of Spanish Zodiac Signs and Personality Adjectives

Aries — Aries (ah-ree-ehs)

Date range: March 21^st to April 19^th

Aries is a fire sign, which means that people born under this sign are passionate, dynamic, and temperamental. Aries is represented by the ram. Aries is compatible with other fire signs such as Leo and Sagittarius and air signs, like Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, but incompatible with earth signs, so stay away from Taurus.

Adjectives that represent Aries 

Taurus — Tauro (tau-roh)

Date range: April 20^th to May 20^th

Taurus is an earth sign, which means that people born under this sign are grounded and down-to-Earth. Taurus is represented by the bull. Taurus is compatible with other earth signs and water signs, such as Cancer and Scorpio, but not compatible with air signs and fire signs. Careful with Gemini and Libras!

Adjectives that represent Tauro

Gemini — Géminis (heh-mee-nees)

Date range: May 21^st to June 20^th

Gemini is an air sign, which means that Geminis are social and love communication. Gemini is represented by the twins, often related to the Greek myth of Castor and Pollux. As an air sign, Gemini is compatible with other air signs and fire signs, but if you’re a Gemini, you might want to stay away from earth signs and water signs! So, no Taurus or Pisces invited to your birthday party!

Adjectives that represent Gemini 

Cancer — Cáncer (kan-ser)

Date range: June 21^st to July 22

Cancer is a water sign, which means that people born under this sign are often sensitive, emotional, and intuitive. The crab represents this zodiac sign. By the way, do you know how to say crab in Spanish? It’s cangrejo, pronounced kan-greh-joh. Also, if you’re thinking about compatibility, think about other water and earth signs: Scorpio, Pisces, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn. But be careful with air and fire signs.

Adjectives that represent Cancer 

Leo — Léo (leh-oh)

Date range: July 23^rd to August 22^nd

Leo is a fire sign, just like Aries. Leos are often passionate and adventurous. This sign is represented by the lion, also related to the myth of Hercules, and people burn under this sign are compatible with other fire signs and air signs. But when it comes to earth and water signs, ¡cuidado! Not compatible.

Adjectives that represent Leo 

Virgo — Virgo (beer-goh)

Date range: August 23^rd to September 22^nd

Virgo is an earth sign, just like Taurus, and Virgos are often grounded, down-to-earth, and energetic. Virgo is represented by the figure of a woman. Sometimes it is the Greek goddess Athena. Other times, Aphrodite. Virgos are compatible with Taurus, Capricorn, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, so water and earth signs. But when it comes to air and fire signs, that’s a no-no!

Adjectives that represent Virgo 

Libra — Libra (lee-brah)

Date range: September 23^rd to October 22^nd

Like Gemini, Libra is an air sign, which means that people born under Libra are friendly and extroverted. Libra is represented by the scales and the image of Lady Justice, or the Greek goddess Astraea. Scales in Spanish is balanza, pronounced bah-lan-zah. When it comes to compatibility Libras get along great with other air and fire signs, so Gemini, Aries, and Leo. But don’t be surprised if they don’t get along with Taurus or Scorpios since they’re incompatible with earth and water signs.

Adjectives that represent Libra 

Scorpio — Escorpio (ehs-kohr-pyoh)

Date range: October 23^rd to November 21^st

Scorpio is a water sign, like Cancer, and people born under this sign are sensitive and intuitive. Scorpio is represented by the scorpion, which is related to the Greek myth of Orion, and they’re compatible with other water signs and earth signs. Are you Cancer or Taurus? You just might be best friends with a Scorpio! Are you worried about not compatible signs? Then Scorpios must avoid people born under air and fire signs.

Adjectives that represent Scorpio 

Sagittarius — Sagitario (sah-hee-tah-ryoh)

Date range: November 22^nd to December 21^st

Sagittarius is a fire sign, just like Aries and Leo. People born under Sagittarius are often dynamic and temperamental. This sign is represented by the image of an archer, sometimes related to the centaur. Archer in Spanish is arquero, pronounced ar-keh-roh. Centaur in Spanish is centauro, pronounced sehn-tah-u-roh. Compatibility? Other fire signs and air signs, so Aires, Leo, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius. Non-compatibility? People born under earth and water signs might be bad news to you!

Adjectives that represent Sagittarius 

Capricorn — Capricornio (kah-pree-kohr-nyoh)

Date range: December 22^nd to January 19^th

Capricorn is an earth sign, just like Taurus and Virgo, and they often are grounded and practical. The sign is represented by the goat, which, in Spanish, is cabra, pronounced kah-brah. As a Capricorn you might want to be friends with other earth signs and water signs too. But when it comes to air and fire signs, not so much since they’re non-compatible with your sign!

Adjectives that represent Capricorn 

Aquarius — Acuario (ah-kwah-ryoh)

Date range: January 20^th to February 18^th

Don’t let its image or name fool you; Aquarius is an air sign, just like Gemini and Libra, and as such, people born under this sign are friendly and extroverted. The sign is represented by the water carrier or water bearer. Aquarius are compatible with other air signs and fire signs, but they’re not compatible with earth and water signs.

Adjectives that represent Aquarius 

Pisces — Piscis (pee-sees)

Date range: February 19^th to March 20^th

Now, this is a water sign, like Cancer and Scorpio. Pisces often are emotional and somewhat mysterious. The sign is represented by the fish. Pisces are compatible with other water and earth signs but not with air and fire signs!

Adjectives that represent Pisces 

Now, let’s move on to more elaborate things.

3 Must-Watch Shows or Movies About Astrology 

We often hear about people who learned the basics of another language using music or after watching a foreign film or tv series. So, it’s no surprise that astrology has also made its way into popular culture. But, here are only a few series and documentaries that you can watch right now:

1. An Astrological Guide for Broken Hearts (Guía astrológica para corazones rotos)

Originally titled Guida astrologica per cuori infranti, Netflix’s An Astrological Guide for Broken Hearts is based on the novel of Italian author Silvia Zucca, and it tells the story of Alice, a heartbroken and hopelessly single woman who, after meeting an astrology guru, turns to the stars to look for her perfect match. Sure, the show is in Italian. But switch the language settings to Spanish, and you got yourself 12 episodes (each named after every sign, of course!) of a charming romantic comedy that will improve your Spanish.

2. Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya (Los caballeros del zodiaco)

But perhaps you’re not into romantic comedies. Are you an anime fan? One of Japan’s classic and most beloved animated shows is Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya or Los Caballeros del Zodiaco. It follows the adventures of four mystical warriors, and it’s loosely based on Greek mythology. In season 4, in fact, we see our heroes fight their way through the 12 Houses of the Zodiac to rescue the goddess Athena. 

In 2019 Netflix released a reimagining of the series called, also, Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya. But you can also find the original series’ first 114 episodes, in Spanish, in Anime’s most extensive streaming service: Crunchyroll.

3. Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado 

If you’re into astrology and are learning Spanish, then you’re bound to run into the work and legacy of the legendary Puerto Rican astrologer and television personality Walter Mercado. Famous for his flamboyant outfits and charming messages filled with positivity, Walter Mercado is Latin America’s most beloved and renowned astrologist. He mainly made his mark on the Latino and Spanish-speaking community in the US. In 2020, a year after Walter passed, Netflix released a documentary called Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado. This documentary might be perfect for people learning Spanish since it goes in and out of English, Spanish, and Spanglish—much like Walter did when he was alive.
