Well, hello there, everyone! Today, I’m gonna yap about somethin’ called the zodiac calendar. Don’t you go worryin’ if that sounds all fancy-pants, ’cause I’m gonna break it down real simple-like, just like how we talk ’round here.
So, first off, what in tarnation is this zodiac thing anyway? It’s like a big ol’ calendar, see? But ‘stead of just tellin’ you the days and months, it tells ya about stars and stuff. They say these stars and planets up there got somethin’ to do with our lives down here. Sounds a bit crazy, I know, but folks been believin’ it for ages.

Now, this calendar, it’s got these things called zodiac signs. There’s twelve of ’em, like twelve kids in a big family. Each one’s got its own name and its own story. Let me see if I can remember ’em all… There’s Aries, that’s the ram, always butting heads, you know. Then comes Taurus, the bull, steady and stubborn as a mule. Gemini, them twins, always flittin’ around, can’t make up their minds. And then there’s Cancer, the crab, kinda shy and likes to stay home. Leo, the lion, proud and loud, always wants to be the boss. Virgo, the virgin, neat and tidy, always fussin’ over things. Libra, the scales, always tryin’ to be fair and balanced. Scorpio, that scorpion, mysterious and intense. Sagittarius, the archer, always lookin’ for adventure. Capricorn, the goat, hardworking and ambitious. Aquarius, the water bearer, always thinkin’ about big ideas. And finally, Pisces, the fish, dreamy and sensitive.
Each of these signs has its own dates, you see. Like Aries, they say that’s from March 21 to April 19. Don’t ask me why them dates are what they are, that’s just how it is. Taurus comes after that, then Gemini, and so on, all through the year. They say the sign you’re born under, that’s your sign, and it tells ya somethin’ about what kind of person you are.
- Aries (March 21 – April 19) – The Ram
- Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – The Bull
- Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – The Twins
- Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – The Crab
- Leo (July 23 – August 22) – The Lion
- Virgo (August 23 – September 22) – The Virgin
- Libra (September 23 – October 22) – The Scales
- Scorpio (October 23 – November 21) – The Scorpion
- Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21) – The Archer
- Capricorn (December 22 – January 19) – The Goat
- Aquarius (January 20 – February 18) – The Water Bearer
- Pisces (February 19 – March 20) – The Fish
Now, some folks, they talk about planets movin’ around and how that affects things. They call it “planetary transits” or some such nonsense. And they look at the moon too, the new moon and the full moon. I tell ya, it’s enough to make your head spin. But some folks swear by it, say it helps ’em make decisions and understand what’s goin’ on in their lives. They even got these things called “horoscopes” that tell ya what the stars have in store for ya each day or week or month.
There’s also some talk about other signs, like Ophiuchus and Cetus. Don’t ask me, I never heard of ’em before. But apparently, some folks say they should be included in the zodiac too. If that happens, then all them dates I told you about, they might change. It’s all a bit confusing, if you ask me.
And they say the whole thing starts with the first day of spring, what they call the “vernal equinox.” That’s when the days and nights are the same length, and it’s the start of Aries season. From there, the whole zodiac thing goes ’round and ’round, year after year.
So, that’s the zodiac calendar in a nutshell. It’s a way of lookin’ at the stars and tryin’ to make sense of our lives here on earth. Now, whether you believe in it or not, that’s up to you. Me? I just figure it’s another way of tellin’ stories, like we always been doin’ since the beginnin’ of time. It’s kinda fun to think about, ain’t it? All them stars and planets up there, maybe they are watchin’ over us after all. Or maybe they’re just pretty lights in the sky. Either way, it don’t hurt to look up once in a while and wonder.

So you can figure out your sign and see what it says about you. Maybe it’ll tell you somethin’ you already know, or maybe it’ll surprise ya. Who knows? It’s all just a bit of fun, ain’t it? And remember, don’t take it too serious. Life’s too short for that.
Anyway, that’s all I got to say about the zodiac calendar. I hope I explained it okay. If not, well, you can always go ask one of them fancy city folks. They probably know more about it than this old gal does. But I tried my best, and that’s all that matters, right? Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go tend to my chickens.
