Aries March 21-April 20 The Ram

Aries is representative of verve and energy and while many may associate a
me first attitude with Ariens, the truth is quite different from this. The me first
refers primarily to their competitiveness and their desire to be at the top of the
world. Of course, the selfish aspect of their personality is true to some extent,
but it can be controlled. They are known to be highly simple and straight-
forward in their dealings. This is the secret behind the amazing clarity that they
seem to possess regarding everyday life. In their childhood, Ariens are
characteristically hungry for success. They generally want to be good in sports,
studies and almost everything they get involved in, though there might be the
odd case of an Ariean almost deliberately messing up their grades, just cause
they dont care. This attitude just gets stronger with age. In their profession,
they will do all they can to get to the top. And to many, this might mean that the
personal life suffers, but not to Ariens. Ariens are really attached to their family.
They also make excellent partners, in a sexual as well as emotional sense.
They are intent on enjoying their sex life to the fullest, which is great for their
partners. This comes from the fact that they are very passionate and fervent,
but they also have certain selfish tendencies which can make things sour.
Ariens frequently develop headaches because of the stresses they experience
in life. Also, in their hustle and bustle, they might get careless and cause
physical harm to themselves in the form of cuts and bruises. It would be
advisable for Ariens to be careful while handling fire and metal objects. Overall,
Ariens are energetic, passionate beings with a knack of achieving great laurels
in their field of work. They also have a pioneering side which they can seldom
suppress.
Taurus April 21-May21 The Bull
Of all the twelve sun-signs, Taurus is the one most in need of order, security
and self-assurance. Taurus are not friendly to indecision and chaos at all. They
work hard at bringing security social and economic, in their and their loved
ones lives. They will find it very hard to risk it for something in the air, no matter
how great and majestic it might be. These are really patient people that will
never throw in the towel and keep fighting for what they value and what they
believe in. They can settle for very few accomplishments, or long lean periods,
but they need to know that certain changes are inevitable, and certain things will
come to you only when they have to, no matter how hard and long you try.
Quite a contrast from the patient plodder, huh? This is why onlookers would feel
that Taurus are too slow or too dull the truth is they are in a world of their own,
where everything has its own pace, and nothing needs to be hurried. Emotional
security is just as important for them as economic. They make really stable
relationships, and hold on to them with all their moral strength. But as we have
said, they are afraid of change, and afraid of letting things go. Thus they might
get really possessive at times, to the inconvenience of the companion. However,
Taurus are known to be the most attractive looking of all the twelve signs. And
they happen to be very passionate, even though some might find them to be a
little on the slow side. They cant help it they dont like rude shocks, and
always like to know the result of something before leaping into it. So in short,
they are beautiful, sensual people who have great taste for the grander and
more subtle things in life.
Gemini May 22-June 21 The Twins
For all the people you see in your workplace, pegging along at a slow pace,
working on things that are too linear to test any kind of ability or intelligence of
any person and taking care of the same mundane tasks every single day with
the sole objective of making a living, there is one thing you can be pretty damn
sure of they are definitely not Geminians. Of all the great tragedies and
maladies of the world, nothing terrorizes the Geminian more than boredom.
They are, since birth, used to multitasking. They just cant go about life one
issue at a time. Parents might find this amusing, but they should nonetheless try
not to encourage it. Doing too many things at once from a young age spoils
their sense of style and brings about a trait that is most common in Geminians
superficiality. For them, after a point, all that looks good is good enough. They
become a jack of all trades and start concentrating only on the packaging. In
some professions such as ones relating to media, however, that is exactly what
you need from a person a little knowledge of almost everything, but not too
much. So its not such a bad thing after all. In the workplace, it is important that
they have as many projects as they can, so that they may work on whichever
they have the mood to work on at that moment. Alas, this multitasking capability
is too innate to your nature you start exhibiting this characteristic even in your
love life. That does not bring a lot of happiness for your partner. This does not
always raise issues relating to guilt, although normally it should (otherwise one
should think somethings wrong). In such tricky situations, what helps the
Geminian more than anything else is his/her great ability to talk his/her way out.
On a professional and even personal level, the characteristic of a Geminian is
vigor. He/she happens to be restless and energetic to the extreme thats what
gives him/her the resources for all that multitasking. But this can take a toll on
the person. The Geminian can never completely let go of things and relax, and
this will be the cause of mental troubles.
Cancer June 22-July 22 The Crab
Cancerians are very defensive creatures defensive of themselves, their
friends and family. They have a very strong and formidable defensive fort in his
psyche. He is not intimidated that easily and can sometimes take an aggressive
stand in order to protect himself emotionally from transgresses of others.
Anyone who intentionally or unintentionally jeopardizes their or their close ones
dignity or self-respect, you will feel fended off or even pinned down. But if you
persevere and gain their trust with time (which you most definitely will if your
intensions are honest), you will see the soft, caring and considerate inner self
because now you are one of the protected. Their family is very important for
them, and comes at the top in the list of priorities. They make excellent parents,
but are not so good at letting go of their children when the situation requires it
which again tells us about their protective self. They also happen to be very
emotional and often fall into the depths of nostalgia. No wonder they have an
excellent memory they hardly miss a piece of detail about their past.
Cancerian children start out being extremely sensitive and emotionally fragile,
but with time they develop their protective and affectionate self. So if you see
your Cancerian kid taking care of a younger brother or sister or the family pet,
be sure that your kid is growing up. To their loved ones, Cancerians present
their most soft and mellow self. So they may overreact to incidents and tend to
be very moody at times. But they are very sensual and can be the best of
companions. They can get hurt by their companions very easily, but are in no
way weak. They can strike back with equal force and venom.
Leo July 23-August 22 The Lion
All Leos of the world can be described using one metaphor the sun. They
want to be a sun giving out light and warmth to the whole world, and to see
everyone in their circles thriving in or at least benefitting from their radiance.
One other important thing needs to understand is that Leo is the sign of
extremities. People of this Leo sun sign innately want to lead and be a master,
but for those they adore and revere, they are ready to become slaves. They are
very well organized and do things just the way they ought to be done, but it is
also true that they are much better at organizing and systematizing others lives
than their own. This trait of theirs sometimes borders on bossiness. But all this
effort to improve another persons life comes with an unnatural amount of
warmth, kindly encouragement and a promise for help without having to ask,
whenever it is needed. The other thing about Leos is their creative streak they
possess some talent that hardly anyone around them is good at. But they can
also be influenced very easily, and are prone to losing out against nagging
criticism. They therefore have a great need to be encouraged and shown the
right way. In friendships, Leos are very generous and caring, but may also get a
little carried away and shower their affections on the wrong person. The same
happens in case of love interests, but if the other person is the right one, he/she
will find no derth of kindness and generosity. Leos are very passionate and very
faithful partners, but the problem is their extremely sensitive nature. And this
sensitivity is on most occasions eclipsed by their influential and bossy exteriors.
So its quite possible that their partner may have hurt them in something he/she
says without his/her even realizing it. Thats why living with a Leo takes some
getting used to.
Virgo August 23-Sept 22 The Maiden
Of all the twelve signs, you will find these Virgo guys the busiest. And heres the
funny part its not that they take up the most responsibility or the toughest job,
or that they are so polite that they do all their coworkers work. Its just that they
end up the most swamped might be because they are not that well-organized,
or for some other reason, but they just cant seem to be getting enough time.
Another very important characteristic, probably their most prominent, is their
desire to serve people. They can literally become slaves for the ones they love;
pleasing them is all they wish to do! In doing so, they can get tricked or let down
once in a while, but they do make very good friends. Virgoans are very versatile
and have a great number of talents, but most remarkable of them is their
excellent judging and critical capability. They can size up things, form an
opinion, and express it in a very diplomatic and constructive way. This is what
makes them such good critiques, teachers and diplomats. But they do this with
a very honest humility, and just the way they are critical about everything, so
also they are critical and judgmental about their own ability and talent. And this
is horrible for their future prospects. Their friends should be there to support and
encourage them at such moments; after all, thats what friends are for, arent
they? And this attitude is not that great for their relationships either. This
tendency continues into the married life even with all the devotion and love and
care. They start getting judgmental about the partners habits and attitude, and
at some point, either the partner gets irritated because of the constant nagging
and pointing out, or the Virgo gets irritated with the partners habits which is, of
course, magnified by his/her critical way of thinking. This brings out another trait
in the Virgos they seem to worry a lot. So they surely are tender and talented,
but they need to mend a thing or two if they wish to make the best of their life
and love.
Libra Sept 23-Oct 22 The scales
Librans are known most for their laziness. But there is really a lot more to it than
meets the eye. Librans actually know how to cool down, and how to relax and
just let things go. Thats why, even when they hustle, they seem to have a lot of
time for petty things like dressing up and making coffee. They even have time to
just lie around and take a time out, with all the work of the world piled up, much
to the chagrin of friends. If you look through their eyes, youd feel people are too
impatient to take pleasure in the small things in life. As you might expect from
people with such a bend, Librans are very romantic. They always long for a
long-lasting, committing, all-in kind of relationship. And as long as they dont
have it, they will always feel like something is missing within them. So they are
definitely marriage material, but this comes with a glitch. Their inherent need for
intimacy makes them rush into relationships without even taking the situation
into account in some cases, they are so young that they dont even
understand what a relationship means. Libran children tend to be good students.
They eventually become their teachers pet because of their charming and well-
mannered demeanor. But as I have already said, they tend to feel incomplete
with maturity. This feeling is removed only when they get into a relationship.
Librans have an extremely soft and sacrificing nature. This is good in the sense
that if the Libran has to give up a better job opportunity for the family, he/she
can do so quite easily. But the negative side is that he/she tends to avoid or
escape from situations where one needs to be tough. This is the reason why at
some point the Libran starts to feel that he/she is being played by his/her kids.
Scorpio Oct 23-Nov 21 The Scorpion
The first thing you will notice about a Scorpio is his/her forceful and vigorous
nature. So if you cut open a Scorpio, I mean metaphorically, you will find a very
intense source of energy. It will be like looking at the sun you cant look
straight at it, or get too close. This source is what drives the Scorpio, and
he/she uses this energy in whatever way he/she finds most satisfying. Now, as
it is said, with great power comes great responsibility. There is a great need to
channelize this energy in the right direction. Otherwise, things are bound to get
disastrous. This high-energy state is also of an emotional nature. People who
are in this state tend to get overly aggressive. That is why half the books written
on Astrology have special chapters allotted for explaining the Scorpios sex
drive. This is a great asset as well as a great liability. Not many can keep up the
vigor and enthusiasm in their sex lives the way Scorpios can. But as I have said,
there is the destructive side. And one of the first signs of this side taking over is
denial and withdrawal. The Scorpio stops taking active interest in things, and
grieves inside. The usual intense and vivacious expression is replaced by an
introvert, brooding-within-oneself one. When inquired, the Scorpio will be the
quickest at denying about having any sort of issue, before resuming to the same
old routine. This is where the role of friends and parents is so very important.
Another issue at the core of the Scorpio is his/her secretive nature. A Scorpio
will find it the hardest to share his/her problems and sorrows with anyone. So if
you are the Scorpios friend, it is most important that he/she takes you into
confident. Otherwise, your friend will not divulge anything and keep going in the
wrong path. Parents should take good care of their Scorpio child and make sure
that all that energy is put into something worthwhile and productive.
Sagittarius Nov 22- Dec 21 The Archer
The first thing one would observe about a Sagittarius is his/her amazing
frankness and practicality. Generally people who call themselves practical tend
to be polite in the more diplomatic sense, but for these guys, the practicality
seems to stem from the frankness. Actually, if you cut open a Sagittarius (I
mean psychologically), youd find that what drives them most is their broad
outlook, and their quick, positive grasping power of almost any kind of problem.
But mind you, the one inclined to get the whole larger picture is liable to miss
out on the minor details. They always thirst for challenges in life, and most of
the time are restlessly looking for one. Another thing that makes them restless
is the endless pursuit of something better. One moment, they might be
completely happy with what theyve got for themselves and the very next
moment, they wish they could have had better. Sagittarians are very caring and
lively towards their loved ones, and have a great tendency of understanding
their mistakes and learning from them. One very important thing the partner
needs to understand here is that they love their freedom too much. Here the
word freedom is used in a very different sense. The freedom does not refer to
individuality or not wanting to change ones way of life, it refers to the way in
which a person wishes to express his/her love for his/her partner. And another
aspect of this need for freedom is fear of closed spaces, in the psychological
sense. Excessive possessiveness may take its toll on the Sagittarius. Children
of this sign happen to be a little prankish and need to be tamed. Otherwise, they
are very brilliant and take their studies very seriously. The only thing is that at
an early age, there should be a balance of studies and outdoor activities for
proper development of the individual. The parents have the responsibility of
ensuring this.
Capricorn Dec 22-Jan 20 The Goat
There is a divide right in the middle where personality is concerned, in case of
Capricorn. There is the never-give-up always fighting, always moving, always
gaining altitude kind of person and there is also the confined person with self-
imposed restrictions, who likes to stay at one place and work for what he values
the most. But these two kinds of personalities have some common traits, the
most notable of them being that of complaining and grumbling. Capricorn brings
about a trait of not being contented with prevalent conditions, which is good in a
way because it spurs people to do something about it, but it also brings about
this other not so congenial and understanding side. Capricorns are very
committed to their cause and are really good at getting what they want. There is
a negative side to this too they become successful and privileged and find that
there are not a lot many people up there and it is not really possible to be
friends with people who are not there so they feel quite lonely. They are really
good at coping up with this, but now this not something that can be completely
taken out of the system, is it? Capricorns are people who seem to be a little
formal, a little out of place with their fun-loving background, but that is because
they actually like to have the right thing in the right place. They like to climb the
social and professional ladders and are not left behind in trying to impress their
superiors and even loved ones. They have a different kind of sense of humor
which is rather refreshing in a gathering or party. In matters of love, even
though they might seem a little too suited-up and unromantic, they make very
good partners and very faithful spouses. The problem with them is that they
might be a little too strict and formal even with their children. They might never
want to deviate from the formal methods, and expose their hard self a little too
often. So, accordingly, the children might learn not to take them seriously, and
this might be a serious cause of heartache for them. There is no doubt a lot of
satisfaction to be had from professional and domestic spheres for them, but
things can get a lot better if they learn to take things easy, and deviate from the
norms.
Aquarius Jan 21-Feb 19 The Water-Bearer
Aquarians are probably the most individualistic and strong kind of people. Now
you can read that as pigheaded and rebellious, but thats your wish (thats not to
say that being either of these is always a wrong thing). And as is the way of the
world, the distinctive and strong in character are the ones followed by one and
all; so this is what leaders are made of. Now things are not all rosy and jolly for
Aquarians. If I had to describe an Aquarian in the least possible number of
words, I wont classify him as a leader or pioneer, Id call him a walking bag of
contradictions coz thats what he most definitely is. They do pioneering work,
they go against the tide and try to change how the society thinks about
something, yet they themselves find it very hard to change their mind on
something once they have made up a notion. So this difficulty in modifying
oneself and ones beliefs becomes more and more noticeable and prominent
with maturity; an Aquarian might need a lot of help and encouragement in
coming up to prevalent times and practices. However, another important thing
that makes them such good leaders is their cool temperament and emotional
control you could not find a person better at taking affirmative action in
practically testing circumstances. Also, these guys are really understanding and
do not find it very difficult to suffer contravenes of fellows. That is why they
make such good friends. Another enigmatic aspect of their persona is their
glamorous yet distant kind of vibe in relationships. They like their freedom and
are not very welcoming to change, at least in this department. So, an Aquarian
might face a lot many conflicts in his love life, even though he/she might be a
terribly romantic person. Aquarian children may seem to be a little too introvert
and aloof of the world, but thats normal, in fact, thats their thing! Physically,
Aquarians may often suffer from circulation-related health issues, so it is really
important for them to keep warm in cold weather.
Pisces Feb 20-March 20 The Fish
Pisceans are characterized by their emotional depth. They have such a vast
reservoir of positive creative energy that they dont even come close to realizing
their true potential. They are too modest to admit their talent, and often
underestimate themselves. No one has the ability to express true human
emotions such as happiness, love, anger and forgiveness in his art as much as
the Piscean. So he/she no doubt has talent, but there is a tremendous need for
encouragement. Pisceans give their friends unconditional support when needed.
They believe in the notion that a friend in need is a friend indeed. But this works
both ways. They also need to be understood and helped when in need.
Pisceans are also susceptible to developing habits and then acting as if they will
show themselves out. Eventually, it becomes so late that things go out of
control, and the habits take a heavy toll on their personal and professional lives.
Again, it is almost impossible for the Piscean to get out of such a quicksand and
restore normalcy in life without the support and affection of close and loved
ones. Friends and family might find this a little difficult than they might think
because Pisceans tend to be a little deceptive, thinking that it is for everyones
good. So the picture I paint is not a very rosy one it would seem that its hard
for the Piscean to even live normally without help. But its not like that. Pisceans
have so much stuffed up inside them that it is hard for them to stay balanced.
Thats the only reason why they need help. In love, Pisceans fall very easily and
quickly, but tend to make mistakes. And sometimes, the result is the worst.
Thus, they can be summed up in one word passionate in life, in work, in
love and everything else. Their kind and gentle side sprouts from this very
passion.
