Well, howdy there, y’all! Let’s gab a bit about them… uh… whatchamacallits… zodiac signs and their calendar dates, yeah, that’s it! Don’t rightly know why anyone’d care, but the youngsters seem to be all fired up about it. So, here goes nothin’.
First off, they got this Aries feller. Starts around March 21st, goes on ’til April 19th, or so they say. They say it’s got somethin’ to do with a ram… you know, them sheep with the curly horns? Beats me why. Always seemed like stubborn critters to me.

Then comes Taurus. That’s April 20th to May 20th, give or take. They say it’s a bull. Makes sense, I guess, both are kinda… sturdy. Like my old mule, stubborn as a… well, a bull!
Next up is Gemini. May 21st to June 20th. Heard tell it means twins. Two of ’em? Double the trouble, I reckon. My sister had twins once, bless her heart, it was like a circus in that house.
After them twins, we got Cancer. June 21st to July 22nd. Now, this one always confused me. Same name as that awful sickness. But they say it’s a crab. Why a crab? Don’t ask me, I just work here.
- Aries: March 21 – April 19
- Taurus: April 20 – May 20
- Gemini: May 21 – June 20
- Cancer: June 21 – July 22
Moving right along, we hit Leo. July 23rd to August 22nd. A lion, they say. King of the jungle and all that. Never seen a lion in these parts, thank the good Lord. Enough varmints as it is.
Then there’s Virgo. August 23rd to September 22nd. They tell me it’s a maiden. Don’t rightly know what that is, but sounds fancy. Probably too good for the likes of us, huh?
And then comes Libra. September 23rd to October 22nd. Scales, like the ones they use at the market. Guess that means these folks are fair-minded? Or maybe they just like weighin’ things. Who knows?

Following Libra is Scorpio. October 23rd to November 21st. A scorpion, they say. Nasty little critters with stingers. Best to stay clear of them, and maybe these Scorpio folks too, just in case.
- Leo: July 23 – August 22
- Virgo: August 23 – September 22
- Libra: September 23 – October 22
- Scorpio: October 23 – November 21
Now we’re gettin’ towards the end of the year. Sagittarius is next. November 22nd to December 21st. An archer, with a bow and arrow. Reminds me of huntin’ season. Though, I prefer a good ol’ shotgun myself.
Then it’s Capricorn. December 22nd to January 19th. A goat, they tell me. Not just any goat, mind you, a sea-goat. Half goat, half fish. Now that’s just plain silly, if you ask me.
Almost there! Aquarius is January 20th to February 18th. Water bearer, they call it. Carryin’ water? Sounds like a chore to me. We got a well for that, thank you very much.
And last but not least, Pisces. February 19th to March 20th. Two fish swimmin’ in opposite directions. Can’t make up their minds, I reckon. Like trying to herd cats, that is.
- Sagittarius: November 22 – December 21
- Capricorn: December 22 – January 19
- Aquarius: January 20 – February 18
- Pisces: February 19 – March 20
So, there ya have it. All them zodiac signs and calendar dates. Don’t rightly know what it all means, but it keeps them city folk busy, I guess. Me? I got crops to tend to and chickens to feed. That’s real life, that is. No amount of star-gazing gonna get that done.

Now, I hear tell there’s another one, somethin’ called Ophiuchus. But ain’t nobody can agree on when it starts or ends, or if it even counts. Sounds like a whole lotta fuss over nothin’ to me. So, I’m stickin’ with the twelve I know. Easier on my old brain that way.
They also say somethin’ about the moon and the planets affectin’ these here signs. New Moons, Full Moons, retrogrades… Sounds like a bunch of mumbo jumbo if you ask me. But hey, to each their own, I always say.
So that’s the rundown on zodiac signs calendar dates, I hope it made some sense to ya. It sure don’t to me, but I did my best explainin’ it like I heard it. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my stew. Don’t want it burnin’ now, do we?
Yearly overviews and all that stuff… it’s just too much for an old woman like me. They even got times and descriptions… my head is spinning. I’ll just stick to what I know: plantin’ in the spring and harvestin’ in the fall. That’s the only calendar I need.
