Aries is symbolized by the ram. The ram has come to represent male fertility, aggression, and courage. A ram’s horn is part of a cornucopia, the “horn of plenty”, symbolizing abundance. In history, rams were often symbols of leadership. Aries natives are said to be leaders and pioneers.

Taurus, the Bull - 20 Apr to 20 May

For centuries, the bull has been a symbol of strength, tenacity, virility, and power. Left alone, a bull will happily graze; but if it is bothered, it will charge! Similarly, the Taurus personality is thought to be calm and peaceful, but when their anger is aroused, their temper can be wicked. Taureans are often quite disturbed by sudden changes–they prefer their lives stable and secure.

 

Keywords: persevering, down-to-earth, stable, stubborn, possessive, prosperous, dependable, physical, sensual “I have”

Gemini, the Twins - 21 May to 20 Jun

Geminis are said to have a dual nature, as symbolized by twins. This duality also represents exchange and interaction. The sign of Gemini is closely associated with the exchange of ideas, communication, and trade.

The sign of Gemini is thought to be very adaptable and flexible, sometimes to the point of “being” two different personalities.

 

Keywords: talkative, mental, adaptable, flexible, changeable, responsive, sociable, superficial, versatile, inquisitive, witty

Cancer, the Crab - 21 Jun to 21 Jul

A crab is able to walk or run sideways. Similarly, Cancer natives can sometimes “move about” in life, in a figurative sense, in an indirect manner. The crab’s body is covered by a carapace (shell). Cancer natives are self-protective and sensitive, and often retreat into themselves when hurt. Crabs are able to resist changes in the environment, thereby protecting themselves from hostile elements in various habitats. Similarly, Cancer natives are thought to avoid too much change, and to be on the defensive. Crabs have “complex  behavior patterns” (1). The inner world of Cancer natives is thought to be rather quirky and complex. Some crabs “conceal themselves by decorating their bodies with plants and animals” (2). Cancer natives tend to try to blend in with their environments, preferring not to make a big splash in life.

 

Keywords: gentle, conservative, feeling, nurturing, defensive, contemplative.

Virgo, the Maiden - 23 Aug to 22 Sept

Virgo’s symbol is the virgin or maiden and is often considered a shy, “lady in waiting” personality that is a little naive. Though Virgos are seldom celibate, they often keep their personal identity intact throughout their lives. This composure is virginal in nature.

Virgo’s symbol is sometimes shown as a woman carrying a sheaf of wisdom, representing the harvesting of wheat at the time of year of the Virgo (late summer).

Keywords:  analytical, intelligent, reserved, critical, helpful, conscientious

 

6th Sign of Zodiac Virgo, the Maiden - 23 Aug to 22 Sept

A balance weighs and measures; and so do Libra natives. Librans seek equality, harmony, and balance. The scales are also a symbol of justice.

Libra’s symbol is the only symbol in the zodiac that is inanimate (it is not represented by an animal or person).

 

 

Keywords:  just, sociable, refined, accommodating, kind, fair, diplomatic, likable, indecisive, respectful, artistic

Scorpio, the Scorpion - 23 Oct to 21 Nov

Scorpions have “two lobster-like claws”(1) and when a scorpion captures its victims with its claws, it “inflicts a disabling sting with its tail”(2) Scorpios are thought to be rather cunning, and sometimes revengeful.

Dual nature of Scorpio: A second symbol for Scorpio is the Eagle. The Golden Eagle “has been regarded from ancient times as a symbol of courage and power”. (3) The eagle represents clear vision, intelligence, and power. It is a majestic bird, and also symbolizes freedom. Scorpios, with their perceptiveness, have the potential to “see” things more clearly than others. How they handle the power of this vision will depend on whether they are at the level of a scorpion or an eagle!

 

Keywords:  passionate, perceptive, resourceful, possessive, psychological, prowling, determined, probing, fixed, focused.

Sagittarius, the Archer - 22 Nov to 21 Dec

Comparison with its symbol, the Archer: Sagittarius is symbolized by the Archer–half-man, half-horse. This symbolizes the Sagittarian’s attempt to free itself from man’s animal nature. The centaur is thought to symbolize the development of the human soul. It symbolizes the animal natures and desires of man, as well as its spiritual aspirations. In Greek mythology, centaurs were adventurous, brave, and wise; they were also given to brawling and uncivilized behavior.

 

 

Keywords: optimistic, restless, enthusiastic, adventurous, honest, irresponsible, outspoken, independent

Comparison with its symbol, the Goat: Goats are “agile animals” and “surefooted”(1). They are “gregarious, except for old bucks, which tend to live by themselves” (2) . Goats are considered to be rather hardy animals. Capricorn is most often compared to the mountain goat. Capricorns are thought to be loners at heart, with introverted characters. Mountain goats find security in cliffs and heights–the highest places that can be climbed.

 

 

Keywords:  tenacious, conservative, resourceful, disciplined, wise, ambitious, prudent, constant.

Comparison with its symbol, the Water Bearer: The symbol for Aquarius is the Water Bearer, symbolically and eternally giving life and spiritual food to the world. The water from the vessel washes away the past, leaving room for a fresh, new start. The sign of Aquarius is forward-looking and growth-oriented. Concerned with equality and individual freedom, Aquarius seeks to dispense its knowledge, and its vision of equality and individuality, to all.

 

Keywords: individualistic, assertive, independent, humanitarian, inventive, original, eccentric, opinionated, intellectual, idealistic, cool, friendly, detached

Pisces, the Two Fishes - 18 Feb to 19 Mar

Pisces is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions. Pisceans often feel like they are being pulled in different directions, making it difficult to make concrete decisions. The symbol of the fish has been associated with followers of Jesus Christ.

The glyph for Pisces can be seen as depicting two fish swimming in opposite directions. As well, it shows two crescents of receptivity pointing outwards, held together by the line of matter. The sign of Pisces is considered a receptive sign—one that is impressionable, spiritual, and open-minded.

 

Keywords:  intuitive, dreamy, artistic, humane, sympathetic, sensitive, compassionate, perceptive, tender, impressionable

 

12th Sign of Zodiac Pisces, the Two Fishes - 18 Feb to 19 Mar
