The Constellations, using H. A. Rey's Scheme


The Zodiac



Here are two mnemonics to help you remember the order of the zodiac.

The Ram, the Bull, the Heavenly Twins (Aries, Taurus, Gemini)
Next the Crab, and the Lion shines (Cancer, Leo)
The Virgin and the Scales (Virgo, Libra)
The Scorpion, Archer, and He-Goat (Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn)
Then the Man with the Watering Pot (Aquarius)
And the Fish with the glittering scales (Pisces)
