Aries is the first Sign of the Zodiac. Their attitude is similar to their order in the Zodiacs. An Aries tends to be the leader and first to venture into new territory. They provide great motivation for new ventures and projects, but don't expect them to stay for the long haul. People are drawn to them and their enthusiasm. They wake up and eagerly face the new day at hand as another challenge to overcome. The Aries symbol is the Ram, their element is Fire and color is red. And at times they can act it. Having a go-getter attitude can rub some the wrong way. The ram can be very forthright and straightforward, perhaps sounding harsh. It’s not meant to hurt feelings but to encourage and motivate. They have a definite drive to compete and be victorious. Aries can accomplish a lot.

Aries are courageous and possess blind faith. They summon fearless energy to take on the world. Their stamina is ongoing and they can stick it out with the last of them (but probably won’t). They tend to move to another challenge before completing the task at hand. Their high energy is good for motivation and start-up situations. Not to say Aries won't contribute, they will and will be of great help. They can be very physical and confrontational on the playing field. Sometimes their enthusiasm gets in the way of thinking things through and while they may not have the results desired, at least it’s not due to lack of effort. Aries will stand by their actions. There is only one way for the Aries, and that’s full steam ahead. They can come off as selfish and very aggressive. The Aries is the "I AM" or "I EXIST" sign and can appear to be selfish and self-centered.

To an Aries, love is a necessity, for it is part of life. They can easily take love in but sometimes don't return love fully. An Aries needs to be reminded at times (between their conquests) that love is in the air or at least not far.

Aries possess great strength and a real "go-getter" way of looking at life. They have a heart-tugging innocence that can serve them well in leadership. Full of energy and spirit, Aries are great for getting projects started.

They will work hard and persist towards the finish line, hoping to soak in the many pleasures they spoil themselves with. Physical pleasure is also top on the list for these bulls. They are very sensual and enjoy a tender touch. It is easy for them to dish out pleasures to others as well. While enjoying the finer things in life, the Taurus has an eye for art as well as a creative flair. Good food is also very high on the list of self-indulgent pleasures. Taurus is the "I HAVE" sign.

The Bull can be quite stubborn. Their relentless persistence on a project at hand may seem inflexible, but in fact they are quite practical. You just need to find out the mission and goal. Partner up with the Bull and they can help carry you across the finish line. The rewards will be lavish and plentiful once the goal is accomplished. The desire for material wealth is based on their love for beautiful things. Bulls are happy when they surround themselves with beauty. Their homes reflect this need by filling it with trophies of desire. A partner is also key to the Taurus happiness.

Taureans can be very loyal partners. To keep the balance of materials and companionship, the bull is intent on making their mates happy. If the partner is happy, so is the Bull. Although they can be a bit overwhelming with the need to have everything just right, and tend to be a bit clingy in relationships.

Taureans are very goal-oriented, and they will see things to the end, planning out every move to make sure they achieve their goals. You can rely on the Bull to have patience and be steadfast. The Bull can be a bit on the snippy side, and are not afraid to argue their point home. Overall, they are pleasure seekers and would rather not argue and tend to keep things in balance. The playing field is a great way to flex their abilities. Competition is very high for the bulls.

Gemini is the Third Sign of the Zodiac. They love to talk. They are the intellects of the Zodiacs. A good conversation is the key to good time with this Sign. There is always another question and an added comment from their lips. The need for information (listening and speaking) is endless. This is very handy when they pursue new relationships (which are often). They are very intelligent and quick-witted. The Gemini symbol is the Twin and Air is their Element. They are very political in their views, seeing more than one side of the story. This plays into the Twin bouncing back and forth from one issue to the next. For this reason, some may perceive the Twin as restless and flighty. Their two-sided persona can be multitasking. They have the intelligence to take on many things at once but lack some follow-through.

The Twin is perfect to bring to a party or social event. Being the life of the party is not a difficult role to play. They can keep many people interested in conversation with a great range of knowledge. On the down side, they may become fidgety and distracted if the other half of the conversation is lacking. The Twin is listening but may seem unfocused and skittish. They may wander off and find something, most likely someone, to spark up their interest again.

In the workplace, they are very prominent thinkers, giving full attention and perspective. They are not so much a leader but a team player all the way. They are well-read and have objective reasoning at work and in relationships but can seem mechanical and heartless.

Gemini is the "I THINK" sign. They can be over-talkative, restless and two-sided. They also are very versatile emotionally and physically, very sharp witted, flexible and supply good companionship.

Their moods can change as fast as the planet that rules them (the Moon). Never underestimate the mood of the Crab, they may appear timid at times but will react on a large scale especially if their home is threatened.

Crabs may come off as being shy in the beginning of a relationship. They like to test the waters and observe their surroundings. Once they are warmed up, they come out of their shells. But once out they still may have a hard time sharing feelings with others. It is easy to make the Crab crawl back into its shell. Try not to cross the Crab for you may get it returned tenfold. But don't let that fool you, they are one of the most generous signs, just stay friendly and they can be your best ally.

Cancers are emotionally needy. Their feelings run deep and sometimes they can dwell on them. Cancer is the "I FEEL" sign. Sometimes the Crab can be selfish and feel sorry for themselves.

The quickest way to the Crab’s heart is his stomach. They love food and would enjoy an evening of fine dining with a tasty wine. Crabs are just as content, if not happier, to stay home and cook a feast with somebody special. Family dinners and gatherings are high on Cancer’s list.

Cancers can seem moody at times mixed in with a little irritability. Also they can be a bit clingy and possessive. On the other hand, Crabs have a great imagination, are tender, sensitive, and caring. These qualities make them a wonderful candidate for friendship and maybe more.

The symbol is the Scorpion and is associated with the Element Water. The Scorpion symbol is no coincidence.

They are always learning, trying new things and going to new places. They are bound to be teachers and consultants. They are the "I UNDERSTAND" sign.

Capricorn is the tenth sign of the Zodiac. They are very ambitious, and pursue their destiny -- success in work, money and status. They can be an authoritative figure and love to work. The symbol of Capricorn is the Goat and its Element is Earth. Much like the Goat, Capricorns climb the highest mountains and reach the peak. On the way to the top, the Goat can lead others up the right path to success. A Capricorn’s organizational skills can almost outdo any other. This makes Goats good planners as well. The need for knowledge is great, because without it they cannot reach their goals.

Goats have much ambition and may step on a few people to get what they want. On their journey towards the mountain peak of success, they may appear egotistical and bossy. People may describe the Goat as cold and heartless. It may seem that way to more sensitive Zodiacs, but Goats can be quite sympathetic and a good friend to lean on. Goats’ sense of humor may seem dry, but they can be extremely funny.

Capricorns are very patient also. They can see a good thing coming and have the patience to wait for the right time to attack. But when they say "charge," you’d better be ready. Once in full force, Goats can be domineering. They mean to get to the top and know what it takes to get there. Their maturity level is very high and they display some cautiousness. Goats research their ambitious attacks by taking note of others who attempt their mission. They will be quite prepared to leap to the top.

The main goal is security, and that means materialistic needs. Goats have a great sense of pride and won't let anyone stand in the way. If you help Goats achieve their goals, you will not be forgotten. They will reward you, but just so they don't look bad. Don’t be surprised if Goats are loners.

The phrase associated with Capricorn is "I USE." This is most relevant when trying to climb to the top. Don’t be surprised if a Goat marries for money. The materialistic urge may be too great. They usually need to be in control of the relationship but are very loyal to those they love. Capricorns are always testing those close to them for loyalty.

Capricorns may be selfish, possess ruthless ambition, become bossy, and may get depressed. The strong side, which is prevalent, displays stability, wisdom, dependability, and endless ambition. They are loyal friends and are a quality business associate.

AQUARIUS - THE WATER BEARER
January 20 - February 18
Aquarius is the sign of the Water Bearer
Element air & motto 'I Universalise'
The following are connected with your Sun sign :
planet Uranus
gemstone aquamarine
number 4
colour vivid blue
animal swallow
flower orchid
metal lead
opposite sign Leo

Character
With the Sun in Aquarius you are even-tempered, artistic, sociable, and peaceful in your general attitude to life. Outwardly you present a composed, confident and unruffled attitude in all circumstances. Yet, often beneath that calm exterior lurks a seething mass of worry, indecision and anxiety, which on occasions leads to eccentric behavior. An investigative nature gives you an interest in science, spiritual subjects, New Age thought (or other fringe subjects, like occultism). You are attracted by anything new, strange or innovative. Your home may be full of electrical gadgets and strange bric-a-brac. With a clear vision of what is best, you care little for the opinions of others. Freedom of self-expression, thought and action are your driving ambitions. Conventional ideas and traditional values are not for you - new, fresh, exciting horizons are what motivate your adventurous spirit. A desire to improve self or society makes you a natural rebel with the energy, initiative, and zeal to change the old order for the new. On the negative side you can, at times, be dreamy, impractical, sentimental and a worrier over trivial matters.
Career
Likely occupations are those that demand intricate detail of a scientific nature, professions involving the use of electricity, aviation and kindred professions, the television and radio industries, or any form of humanitarian work.

Love
In a partner you are looking for a friend, someone to talk to about everything and anything who is willing to share you with the rest of the world. You can be very cool emotionally and although this doesn't stop you from having relationships you often spend much of your life living alone before you find a soul mate.

PISCES - THE FISH
February 19 - March 20
Pisces is the sign of the Fishes
Element water & motto 'I Believe'
The following are connected with your Sun sign :
planet Neptune
gemstone moonstone
number 7
colour seagreen
animal fish
flower waterlily
metal tin
opposite sign Virgo

Character
With the Sun in Pisces you are sensitive, impressionable, warm and loving. Possessing a powerful imagination, you see the poetry of life, and no matter where located you infuse a sense of the beautiful into your surroundings. An optimist and dreamer, you strive all the while for Utopia, seeking a quiet life with as little trouble as possible. One great gift is your ability for interpreting ideas. You have the capability of taking an idea and transforming it into something everyone can appreciate and understand. A strong sense of service and compassion is also part of your nature. On occasion you find yourself put on by others, and torn by emotions and desperate to do the right thing, you become easily confused, giving way for the sake of peace and harmony. This may leave the impression of your being weak-willed. Very intuitive and sentimental, you have a tendency, at times, to live in a make-believe world, giving little attention to practical matters. Always acting from the highest ideals your kind nature endears you to others.

Career
Likely occupations are in entertainment and kindred arts, any of the medical professions, occupations to do with the sea, literary and public work, professions to do with philosophy or religion, or any work demanding imagination and creative ability.

Love
You are very attractive to others and have no problems finding partners, although these are more often than not the wrong ones. You are easily led astray by others and need someone who is strong, protective and who understands your easily hurt emotional character.
