Zodiac sign of AQUARIUS in a 9th century manuscript

Image by Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
The zodiac sign of AQUARIUS is associated with the month of January and it is represented by the water carrier. In most of the standard medieval iconographic compositions, the water carrier is represented by a single man or a woman, standing or seated, holding one or two vases from which water pours. Usually set in a landscape, the figure is sometimes immersed in a lake, into which he/she pours the water from the vase. The vase is always Classical in form, and in some cases the water flows away from the figure instead of vertically. In some depictions, the figure of the water carrier is represented by a genderless figure which perhaps resembles to a child. In the modern horoscope the zodiac sign of AQUARIUS covers the period from about 20 January until 18 February.

Zodiac sign of CAPRICORN in a 9th century manuscript

Image by Virtual Manuscript Library of Switzerland
The zodiac sign of CAPRICORN is associated with the month of December and it is represented by the goat. In most of the standard medieval iconographic compositions, the goat is represented with two horns, standing or seated. For an animal rather familiar to the artists in that time, the portrayal of the goat tends to be surprisingly unrealistic to the extent that the goat is often shown very similar to the unicorn. Variations on this form show a creature with upper body of a goat and lower body of a fish with a tail emerging from a shell. In the modern horoscope the zodiac sign of CAPRICORN covers the period from about 22 December until 19 January.
