The Zodiac Signs in Spanish
To start, the zodiac signs in Spanish are called los signos del zodiaco. On the other hand, your horoscope in Spanish, is your horóscopo.
While reading your horóscopo (horoscope), you may have come across the words “water sign” or “earth sign.” That’s because there are four elements in astrology: Air, Fire, Earth and Water. The 12 signs are divided into these four elements, three signs are ruled by one element.
Each sign is assigned to an element, and there are also some adjectives used to describe the personalities of individuals belonging to each sign. Below we’ll give you more information about each sign under their respective elements, and the adjectives/characteristics assigned to each zodiac sign.
