Horoscopes are popular with people throughout the world. While most people are familiar with western astrology and with the Chinese zodiac, much less is known about the ‘Molluskan Zodiac’ (sometimes known as the mariners zodiac). But ask any fisherman, and they will tell you instantly which of the ten signs of the molluskan zodiac they were born under.





The zodiac has its origins in the many superstitions that sailors believe in. Throughout history sea-goers have attached special significance to many of the creatures that are found throughout the world’s oceans. The Molluskan Zodiac was born out of the belief that certain mollusks are watching over sailors and can influence their fate. The dates of the molluskan zodiac are connected to important fishing dates throughout the year. It is the dangers of fishing in stormy winter seas that gave rise to the phrase “I’d rather be a clam than a barnacle”.



If you like astrology, and if you like mollusks, then the molluskan zodiac may be just what you need. New horoscopes are added weekly.
