_ (the underscore) is the placeholder for exactly one character.
% (the percent sign) is the placeholder for no, one or more than one character.
%% (two percent signs) is the placeholder for no, one or more than one character, but not for blank space (so that a search ends at word boundaries).

At the beginning and at the end, these placeholders are superfluous.

‘Aries: Aries habet capud et faciem, pupillam, occulos et intestina… Cum Luna fuerit in Ariete, signo orientali, calido et sicco… Natus sub Ariete a medio Martii usque ad medium Aprilis erit magne industrie, nec dives nec multum pauper — dolorem patietur, vivet annis LXXVIo secundum naturam.’
