I'm looking for POV (or any convertible format) models of the
astrological symbols, e.g., the crab, the archer, etc.

Thanks,
Andy

They're in the Wingdings truetype font.  Just use the text object.
Or are you looking for real-life models of the things the symbols 
are supposed to represent?  (In that case, I don't want to see Virgo!)

That will work fine. I'm not going for anatomical correctness.

Ah, well the symbols I pointed you to are the abstract symbols, like
the one that looks like "mp" for Virgo, or the sideways-69 for whichever
sign it is (Pisces?)

Nope, Gemini is the II.  I've since learned that Cancer is the 
sideways-69 and Pisces looks like a curvy H.  Not that any of this
actually means anything, of course. :)
