ASTROLOGY - SIGNS OF THE ZODIAC The sigils and images for zodiacal Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces, from the series by John Leighton, The Life of Man, 1866. The image of Sagittarius is of the centaur carrying on is able back an agricultural deity. Capricorn is symbolic of Christmas as a Christianization of pagan festivities - a priest (with a cross in evidence) holds a wassal bowl, and rides a Goat, the image of the sign. Aquarius the water bearer seems to be too cold to discharge his duty - the jar of waters lies at his feet, as he tries to make himself warm in the bitter cold. Pisces is an old man (linked with the end of the year, and with winter), riding a curious chariot pulled by dolphins (the fishes are the emblem of Pisces).
