Re: Pictographic zodiacal symbols

There's arguably a distinction between symbols and pictographs, even if 
both signify the same concept.

This is different from the case two different sets of pictographs or two 
different sets of symbolic notation.

Although, even in those cases it is useful to consider the question: can 
one of them be substituted for the other with the reader experiencing 
the choice as stylistic?
