Persian Zodiac
Ancient Persia • 12 signs
The Persian Zodiac, rooted in ancient Zoroastrian tradition and the Solar Hijri calendar, assigns each month a heroic guardian from the Shahnameh (Book of Kings) — Persia's great epic. The twelve signs are Farvardin (Lamb), Ordibehesht (Bull), Khordad (Twins), Tir (Crab), Mordad (Lion), Shahrivar (Wheat Ear), Mehr (Scales), Aban (Scorpion), Azar (Archer), Dey (Goat), Bahman (Water Bearer), and Esfand (Fish). Each sign is linked to classical elements and carries traits inspired by the courage, wisdom, and spiritual depth of Persian mythology. This system reflects the cosmic struggle between light and darkness central to Zoroastrian philosophy.
