Astrology and Tarot...I've read books that merge the two, but I still don't get it. So maybe I could make things easier for myself if there was a deck that had the astrological signs on the cards...Is there?

- Golden Dawn tarot (Cicero)
- Tarot numérologique (a Marseilles style deck) - Fournier

The Symbolon cards also feature astrological symbols but I have not a clue how to incorporate them into my readings....

Many decks have astrological symbols on them. But it is important to remember that designers use (sometimes) very different astrological correspondances. There is no official card-astrology equivalent.
Some decks follow the attributions of the Golden Dawn, others use more idiosyncratic associations. (Sort of like the Swords = Air/Swords = Fire variations).
The One World deck comes to mind as a deck that uses (to my astrological mind) very odd attributions. Very distracting if I were to use that deck.

You have many to choose from :) I will add to that list, Rohrig also uses astrological symbols.

I like the way The Quest Tarot does it. It not only has the astrological correspondances but the planets also. For example it will say like, moon in picses, sun in pisces...etc.
