Question 1. Which of the following symbols for signs of the Zodiac has an axis of symmetry? An axis of symmetry means that a shape can be folded along a line perfectly in half,  and still have a reflection on both sides that is exactly the same.  If we look at our first option of Sagittarius, and we turn it slightly, we see that we can draw a line straight down.  If this was to be folded in half along this line, then it would be exactly the same on both sides. This means that our answer is A, Sagittarius.
