Jimmy Page’s Led Zeppelin symbol
You have probably arrived at this page because you were researching the meaning of Jimmy Page’s Zoso symbol, which appeared on the cover of the fourth Led Zeppelin album. You have come to the right place. On this page I will provide details of the source of the symbol and why Jimmy Page selected it. There has been lots of weird speculation about what the symbol means, such as the three-headed dog (Cerebus) that guards the gates to hell. No idle speculation here; just the facts and references so you can look the information up yourselves and draw your own conclusions.

Zoso Symbol
The symbol does not spell the word Zoso, but this is a good name for referring to it. This is what I believe Mr Page did in his young days. Jimmy’s astrological sun sign is Capricorn, and if you know your astrology you will know that Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn. Jimmy wanted a symbol for Saturn and he found a selection in a textbook (some possible options will be listed shortly). Now, Jimmy’s first guitar was a 1959 Futurama Grazioso graziosothat his parents bought for him when he was 12 years old. One of the Saturn symbols in the text books looks a little bit like “zioso” of Grazioso. Perhaps this was why this particular Saturn symbol caught his eye. I do not personally believe there is any deeper meaning than this, but there are many people out there who do. They origins of the symbol go back to at least 1521, and almost certainly earlier (to the 1300’s), but what the structure and form of the symbol originally meant (if anything) has been long lost in the sands of time.
