Leo July 23 – August 22
The ambitious nature of Leo makes them good candidates for any profession where they can be the boss. Leos are natural born leaders, preferring projects and vocations they can take charge of and manage to their liking. They are great organizers and overseers, most comfortable in top positions of industry where they can direct people. Because of their broad, philosophical intellect, they may have a turn towards the religious or political arenas. If they have an artistic bent, Leos love the spotlight, becoming stars, or conductors of orchestras, maestros, and actors.
Virgo August 23 – September 22
Virgo’s representation of the female creates an image of a delicate and lovely girl. While the characteristics of youth and grace definitely apply, at times the symbol represents an older woman who is intelligent, dogmatic, and somewhat spinsterish. Virgo’s preciseness, refinement, and dignified cleanliness, most often associate with the latter impression of this zodiac sign. With all Virgo’s characteristics of practical diligence, and analytical observance, they dine on life with a side of cautiousness. Their natural distrust of others promotes a habit of keeping people at arm’s length, and they may have difficulty committing to deep relationships. They prefer to keep their circle of friends small, but very close.
Libra September 23 – October 22
In their professional life, Libra usually stays away from coarse or dirty work. Instead, they are usually content in their current stage of their career, or extremely ambitious. Because of their sense of justice, they often pursue careers as lawyers or in the field of law.
Scorpio October 23 – November 21
Scorpio is the sign of the zodiac ruling sex and reproductive organs. They are passionate lovers, their intensity often reflective of a union more spiritual than physical, therefore discovering more than just mere individuality. Prone to jealousy, they lose themselves in their partners and at times find themselves star-crossed lovers or in tragic romances. In friendships, Scorpios can appear overly critical, but it is only because they care so much of the people close to them, they feel the urge to tell the truth in all situations. For Scorpio there is no higher kindness. To betray a Scorpio can lead to resentful behavior. They will become brooding, moody, and depending on the slight, unforgiving. They often discard the relationship if it no longer suits their needs.
Sagittarius November 22 – December 21
In love, Sagittarius is ardent and sincere. They are conventional lovers and are in control of their sensuality. They are faithful spouses and indulging parents, but their restlessness often provides a need for them to step back from the routine of family life occasionally, preferably in the form of travel
or small getaways. They seldom betray, but if hurt, they become disillusioned by their partners, and their archer’s arrows cut to the quick in the form of words, or in extreme cases, promiscuity.
Capricorn December 22 – January 19
Capricorns are successful in professions involving math or money and have a strong attraction to music. Vocations include economist, financiers, bankers, contractors. They are resourceful, fair, and balanced in their work, with a great respect for the chain of authority. They are wonderful organizers, making good bureaucrats, excelling in long term planning. They are also good teachers, and their skill in debate can lead to politics.
Aquarius January 20 – February 18
The Water Bearer is one of the dual signs in the zodiac. One type is shy, reserved, patient, while the other is a natural extrovert, craves people, and has a tendency to occasional exhibitionist behavior. Both types are forceful, tenacious, and strong willed, often comparable to a brick wall when they truly believe in a cause. However, because of their ability to see both sides of an argument, they might change their convictions as long as facts support the opposing viewpoint.
Aries March 21 – April 19
Born during the spring equinox, Aries leads the way for the rest of the zodiac. Adventurous in life pursuits, they do not shirk at obstacles in their path. Instead, Arians meet challenges head-on with an energy that is never tiresome, thriving on a confidence they will overcome whatever life throws their way. They are true pioneers in life, eager to explore life’s treasures, never timid of the unknown.
Pisces February 19 – March 20
Pisces are compassionate, kind, generous, and often perform acts of selflessness for those they love. They approach people and life with a sensitive nature, sympathetic to life’s trials and tribulations and encouraging others to endure. Friendly and good-natured, they express an easygoing attitude when managing their own lives and goals. At times, they can reach far in their idealistic attitude and often need encouragement to keep their feet firmly planted on the tangible aspects of life. Pisces is usually popular with all types of people, partly because their submissive character poses no threat to stronger characters. Often Pisces accepts circumstances in life because they are more comfortable waiting for solutions to work themselves out, rather than trying to adapt.
Taurus April 20 – May 20
Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus, the Roman God of Love. However, Venus is also associated with fertility and agriculture. She overlooked crops and the planting seasons. This earthier version corresponds with the Taurean practicality and desire for security. The result is Taurus’ uncanny ability to measure both the material and the immaterial aspects of life, determining their true worth.
Gemini May 21 – June 20
Gemini’s symbol of the Twins is no coincidence, for Gemini is the definition of duplicity and complexity. Challenges in life are just another walk in the park for this sign of the zodiac. Gemini’s adaptability to the twists that come their way is due to their knack for not taking things too seriously. It can be one of their many assets, but can lead to flightiness if they are not careful. Their ability to communicate and appeal to the people around them is the greatest asset and satisfaction in their lives.
Cancer June 21 – July 22
There are two sides to the Cancerian coin, when it comes to describing the Crab’s contradictory character. They can be the most social person, craving the presence of other people. However, at times they can become withdrawn, shy, having absolutely nothing to do with the outside world. This is not to say they have the same duality of Gemini, but for Cancer, there is a time for social interaction and a time for solitude. Externally, Cancer can appear shrewd, cautious, purposeful, tenacious, and moody. For those closest to Cancer, the experience is completely different. Cancer is loving, sensitive, protective, and intuitive to the level of profound. Finding the balance of the two is just a fundamental factor to their happiness.
