zodiac sign
One of the twelve signs of the zodiac in astrology, based on the position of the sun at the time of a person's birth and used to interpret character and destiny.
Ihr Sternzeichen ist Waage, und sie liest jeden Morgen ihr Horoskop.
Her zodiac sign is Libra, and she reads her horoscope every morning.
The word is made up of 'der Stern' (star) and 'das Zeichen' (sign). So it is literally a 'sign in the starry sky' that has a special meaning in astrology.
Jedes Sternzeichen ist einem bestimmten Zeitraum im Jahr zugeordnet.
Each zodiac sign is assigned to a specific period of the year.
To ask about someone's zodiac sign, you say: 'Was ist dein Sternzeichen?' (What is your zodiac sign?). A colloquial variant is: 'Was bist du von Sternzeichen?' (What are you by zodiac sign?). You answer with 'Mein Sternzeichen ist...' (My zodiac sign is...) or simply 'Ich bin...' (I am...) followed by the name of the sign.
„Was ist dein Sternzeichen?“ – „Ich bin Löwe.“
'What is your zodiac sign?' – 'I'm Leo.'
A common formulation is the construction 'im Sternzeichen ... geboren sein' (to be born under the sign of ...). The name of the zodiac sign is inserted directly.
Mein Bruder ist im Sternzeichen Stier geboren.
My brother was born under the sign of Taurus.
horoscope
The Sternzeichen names one of the twelve signs of the zodiac assigned to a person based on their birth. A Horoskop, on the other hand, is an astrological interpretation of their personality or future. Sternzeichen is the right word when asking about the sign; Horoskop is used for a prediction or interpretation.
Mein Sternzeichen ist Löwe, weil ich im August geboren wurde.
My zodiac sign is Leo because I was born in August.
Mein Horoskop sagt für den August eine wichtige Begegnung voraus.
My horoscope predicts an important encounter in August.
