Aries

March 21 - April 19

Aries people belong to the “head” of the zodiac – they’re stubborn, willful, and determined. It’s hardly possible to push an Aries representative around because they’re, on top of that, fearless, ambitious, and trailblazing. They never doubt their power and believe they can become real champions.

Aries natives love challenging tasks and can behave rather recklessly from time to time. On the other hand, they’re courageous and protective and always ready to come to the rescue. The major problem of Aries is that a person born under this sign can be too domineering and selfish causing pain to his or her close people.

Taurus

April 20 - May 20

Taurus is responsible for the security and earthly comforts; representatives of this sign like to see the job done and are rather impatient in their wish to complete it as soon as possible. People born under the sign are able to save their energy and use it in times of need only. This feature makes Taurus natives slow and steady on one hand and fast and vigorous on the other hand.

Taurus people tend to divide the job that is to be done into several parts and start the action only after it. They are aimed at new results and are surprisingly steady in their purpose. The best qualities a Taurus person possesses are patience, dedication, romanticism, and the ability to support; the negative ones are laziness, stubbornness, overindulgence, and excessive cautiousness.

Gemini

May 21 - June 20

Gemini people are generally quite talkative and lively and they are always ready to communicate and fire up others. The sign is symbolized by the Twins, and Gemini natives are often torn apart by different types of energy inside them. These people are very good at socializing and brainstorming, their dialogues and monologues are witty and engaging.

Representatives of this sign are generally charming, resourceful, adventurous, and smart. But, on the other hand, they can sometimes be dishonest, depressed, overly judgmental, and unbalanced. They can lead the way inspiring others to follow them, but can also lose their nerve and surrender to despair. The trick here is to find the proper balance!

Scorpio

October 24 - November 22

The energy of Scorpio is enormous, and it makes you able to wake up your superpowers and form surprisingly long-lasting bonds.

Sagittarius

November 23 - December 21

Sagittarius is born to roam the world and brave the unknown. Their dreams are so big they may seem impossible to less daring signs, but Sag is not like this – the Archer is fearless. Challenges do not drain them dry; quite on the contrary, they replenish their energy and drive their philosophical thinking.

The Archer enjoys engaging in learned discussions but loves to spend time in the open just as much. Their enthusiasm helps them explore, take risks and push limits. Sag’s honesty and fairness make them devoted friends, and their optimism and taste for adventure make them the least boring zodiac sign.

Capricorn

December 22 - January 19

The energy of Capricorn guides our abilities to prioritize and manage our life. The symbol of the sign is the persistent Mountain Goat. Therefore, the Capricornian energy makes us more goal-oriented, motivated, and organized.

However, when we experience the negative energy of Capricorn we tend to become more pessimistic and less resourceful – it seems like the whole world is against us! On those days, try to fight the negative influence of the Capricornian energy and open your heart to the world!

Aquarius

January 20 - February 19

Aquarius has a progressive approach to everything. However, this mindset is not driven by their forward-thinking, but rather by their utopian ideas and their love of innovation, no matter if it is reasonable or just audacious. But there is no need to worry about the consequences of those ideas, as all Aquarians are born philanthropists.

Their symbol being a Water Bearer, objective and open-minded, Aquarius is keen on uniting people, though many would call them detached. Their innovative thinking helps others keep pace with the change of the world, and their unconventional energy fuels many important discoveries and inventions, both tiny and grand.

Pisces

February 20 - March 20

Pisces rules the sphere of emotions. The energy of Pisces is said to comprise the energies of all other signs since it is the final sign of the Zodiac. The Piscean energy, either positive or negative, is so powerful that it is capable of catching you up in the whirlwind of illusion and passion.

The Fish, being the symbol of the sign, rarely emerges above the surface of the water, so the sign of Pisces is generally associated with subconscious strivings, dreams, and illusions. The Piscean energy makes us more creative and helps reveal hidden talents.
