Aries
21 Mar - 20 Apr

Traditional Aries Traits
Adventurous and energetic
Pioneering and courageous
Enthusiastic and confident
Dynamic and quick-witted

On the dark side…
Selfish and quick-tempered
Impulsive and impatient
Foolhardy and daredevil

A Cardinal Fire Sign ruled by Mars

The first sign of the zodiac and well known as a pioneering sign,
Aries are outgoing, enthusiastic and energetic.
People born under this sign like to be at the forefront of things and have competitive spirit.

Ariens love a challenge, often needing to prove themselves.
They are courageous and, never being ones to meekly follow the herd,
are unafraid to stand against popular opinion if it doesn't tally with their own way of thinking.
Forthright and uncomplicated, but impatient when it comes to the fine details of a project, or the quickly forthcoming.

As a fire-sign and ruled by Mars, Aries can be quick to let the sparks fly, but when all the fuss had died down they are just as quick to forgive and forget.
The generous nature of Aries doesn't bear grudges or indulge in spiteful behavior of any kind.
They make excellent and loyal friends, always ready to defend the people they hold dear to them.

In their choice of career Ariens need a large degree of autonomy.
They're leaders by nature and a subordinate position doesn't suit them well, nor will repetitive work of any kind not hold Arie's interest long enough to see the task through.
There is a natural organizing ability inherent in most Ariens,
and they certainly like to see things run along their own lines.
Being ruled by Mars, an ideal career for Aries might be a military one,
but they also do well in all sports related professions.

Their autonomous natures make them well suited to run their own businesses, and their leadership abilities are ideal for heading expeditions, or acting as tour leaders.

In relationships Ariens are ideal for someone who seeks a strong partner to lean on.
Inclined to rush headlong into a relationship, they bring an intensity both emotionally and physically that can almost literally take the breath away from the object of their affections.
Although romantic and idealistic, Aries true nature is impatience,
and a spontaneous instant attraction is far more likely than a slowly built relationship.
However, once the relationship is established, Ariens are faithful and loyal lovers, defensive of their partner.
There is a tendency to what some might consider utter selfishness in the Arien personality,
but confront your Aries mate with such an accusation and their reaction will very probably be one of complete incomprehension.
Most of the time, the only thing they are really guilty of is thoughtlessness, and an inability to understand why you don't see things just as they do
- in black and white.

They have a need to be considered special,
a winner in whatever they choose to take on.
Their spirit and energy are considerable,
and combined with their zest for living life, the Aries often is just this.

TAURUS
21Apr-21May

Traditional Taurus Traits
Patient and reliable
Warmhearted and loving
Persistent and determined
Placid and security loving

On the dark side…
Jealous and possessive
Resentful and inflexible
Self-indulgent and greedy

A Fixed Earth Sign ruled by Venus

The persistence of Taureans is what gets them where they want to be.
Their basic need for security and stability is accomplished by sheer determination.
They have tremendous reserves to keep them going when things get tough,
and plod along regardless of what life throws at them.
Seeing things through to the end, building something worthwhile is the stuff of life to a typical Taurean.

They have an innate sense of values, believing that the best things are worth paying a bit more for.
Most Taureans would rather do without than settle for something second-rate.
Material security is very important to these people,
and they love to surround themselves with objects of luxury.
Indeed they have a fine appreciation of all that is aesthetically pleasing as well as artistic bility of their own.

Taureans are well known for their practicality,
but being ruled by Venus they also possess a sensuality and love of pleasure.
They make faithful and enduring lovers, perhaps slow to demonstrate their feelings at first,
but passionate in the extreme once those feelings have been aroused.
There is a tendency towards possessiveness; a Taurean is always loath to give up on anything,
even a bad relationship.
Perhaps the thing that Taureans fail to realize is that their possessive nature
- even subconsciously - is often the cause of a rift.

As Venus also rules matters numismatic, Taureans have a natural ability when it comes to handling money. They are well suited for a banking or financial career,
having the propensity to make money for others as well as themselves.
Other occupations where they may find a niche lie in the arts arena.
They have a creative flair that can encompass many different forms of art.
Dance and music are natural to them, but they can be equally successful perhaps even more so,
when creating something like a sculpture or painting.
Producing new life from the earth is something that many Taureans excel at,
farming or gardening suits the earthier side of their nature.
The prime motivation in any Taurean's career though is the stability of the income it produces;
they need to know that a paycheck is a regular and unwavering end product for their efforts.

Gemini
22May-21June

Traditional Gemini traits
Adaptable and versatile
Communicative and witty
Intellectual and eloquent
Youthful and lively

On the dark side…
Nervous and tense
Superficial and inconsistent
Cunning and inquisitive

A mutable Air Sign ruled by Mercury

Here, there and everywhere just about sums up the typical Gemini.
This air sign is versatile and endlessly curious about everything.
But they rarely give their attention to any one thing long enough to gain mastery of it.
The original "grasshopper mind", Geminians are always ready to hop off
and see what the next thing is all about before anyone's had a chance to pin them down.
It isn't that they're not interested in what you have to say,
they just seem to have the ability to think about a number of different things all at once.
Very likely, they'll surprise you by returning to the subject out of the blue - giving you their opinions
and imparting fresh slants on the matter you thought they'd forgotten about.

They make amusing partners and friend.
Quick-wittedness and a light humor add a sparkle to their conversation.
Friends of a Gemini will never be stuck for ideas on how to spend their free time,
Gemini will always have a dozen suggestions ready.
They're charming optimistic individuals who liven up any gathering.

They have the ability to see things from varying points of view,
and although it can be frustrating trying to get them to come down off the fence,
their indecisiveness is probably bothering them every bit as much.
They use up an incredible amount of nervous energy.

Geminians live in their minds, and are turned on by a partner who understands and responds to this.
Once they have fallen for someone they waste no time in letting their intended know all about it.
They are the communicators of the zodiac and have no difficulty in expressing their feelings.
Their relationships are more likely to be with those who they share an interlectual rapport with.
There is a need in Geminians for variety, and this extends to their love lives
- not necessarily a variety of partners, though this is a possibility with Gemini,
but one partner who is prepared to adapt their ever- changing ideas and isn't afraid of experimentation.

The very nature of Gemini makes them perfect for a career in the media or communications of some kind. PR, market research or any job that brings them into contact with the public is ideal.
Their ability to communicate ideas effectively is an asset many sales departments make good use of.
The main consideration in a Geminians choice of career should echo the theme of their lives
- Variety with a capital V !

CANCER
22June- 22July

Traditional cancer traits
Emotional and loving
Intuitive and imaginative
Shrewd and cautious
Protective and sympathetic

On the dark side…
Changeable and moody
Emotional and touchy
Clinging and unable to let go

A Cardinal Water sign ruled by the Moon

Cancerians are the most sensitive of the twelve signs, but don't mistake this sensitivity for weakness. Emotions are the prime motication of this sign, as is natural for one ruled by the Moon,
and Cancerians have an empathy with the world about them.
They seek to provide a shelter from the vagaries of the world in which to care for
and cherish those they love.
A secure base and home life are of great importance to those born under this sign.
Should this ever be threatened the cardinal qualities in Cancer come to the fore,
a kind of self-defence mechanism kicks in.
Determination and not a little self-interest are present under the crab's shell.

A Cancerian among a group of friends will be the one who makes the most effort
to bond the group together, perhaps seeking them as an extension of the all-important family.
Friends are carefully chosen, not for status reasons but because of a natural caution and reserve
that are exercised when Cancer first meets someone.
Once a friendship is established it is firm and enduring.
Cancerians involve their friends in their home lives as much as possible,
and instinctively try to look out for them and their interests.

Relationships are conducted on pretty much the same footing.
Cancerians are not ones to fall in love at first sight, or if they do ,
they keep their feelings well hidden at first.
The fear of rejection is very real for most of these people and commitment only comes
when they are absolutely sure of the person involved.
When they do lower their defences Cancerians are caring and tender lovers.
They will go to great lengths to ensure that their partner is happy,
creating an atmophere that just suits the occasion.
Their moods can be quite changeable, another factor from the Moon they are ruled by,
and their partners can often be at a loss to understand what caused the latest shift in temperament,
unless of course they're another water sign.
Romantic love is high on a cancersian's list of the important things in life and they are quite sentimental. They have an instinctive knowledge of their partner's needs and wished, almost forestalling them.
Above all they have a deep seated need to cherish and protect those they love.

When it comes to a career the cancerian is ideally suited to the caring professions;
nursing, psychology or a medical career can all be very rewarding for Cancer.
There is also an attraction to caring about things form the past-they're the nostalgic sign of the zodiac
-so perhaps would consider a career as an historian, antiques dealer or any work associated with preserving treatures from the past.
They are adaptable enough to settle into a wide variety of occupations
and providing they find some reward in their work, they will be happy.
There is also their need for security and they like to know they can rely on regular pay checks.
There is an artistic side to the Cancerian nature which is often expressed in creating something than will enhance their homes or nourish their loved ones.
These skills often translate to a career, perhaps as a chef, textile designer or interior decorator.
Children usually bring great pleasure to Cancerian subjects and
any occupations involving them will prove worthwhile and rewarding for them.

LEO
23 July-23 Aug

Traditional Leo Traits
Generous and warmhearted
Creative and enthusiastic
Broad minded and expansive
Faithful and loving

On the dark side…
Pomous and patronizing
Bossy and interfering
Dogmatic and intolerant

A FIXED FIRE SIGN ruled by the sun

The lion is the king of the jungle,the sun shines brightest among all.
The stars and leo blazes out royally from the zodiac!
There is nothing modest about this sign,and they wouldn't demean themselves by false modesty.
Leos are extremely proud and love to be appreciated,
They are generous in heart and spirits and strive always to get the most out of life,
The pride of the lion has it's downfall of course,they cannot bear to be in the wrong about anything
and can be quite stubborn in the insistence that they are right.
But their assertive stance is rarely aggressive ,they just find it difficult to accept any failings in themselves.

To count a Leo as your friend is to be in company of someone
who always has your best interests at heart.
They'll take a genuine interests in your activities and endeavours:
spurring you on to achieve more and making u believe in yourself.
Leos have an ability to organise people and they aren't afraid to tell u
if u could do something better by trying another way.
It might come over as bossiness,but most leos genuinely want to help u do the best u can.

In affairs of heart Leos really come into their own.
When they fall in love it's the hook line and sinker syndrome.
There are no half measures in a Leos life,least of all in this area.
The depths of their feelings can leave them strangely vulnerable and open to be wounded emotionally .Giving all they have to a partner ,they are open hearted ,steadfast and fiercely loyal.
There is no room in Leo's life for deception or devious behaviour:
they cannot undertsand it and won't tolerate it.
They're not the type to play games with people's feelings and expect the same respect for theirs in return .
If a genuine mistake has been made through ,they are quick to forgive .
Their enormous lions heart doesn't bear a grudge, and they're not too proud to forgive a genuine apology. Leo's main failing is jealousy, they need assurance that they rule their lover's heart
and come second to none.
Supremely romantic, they love to make a fuss of their partner
and spoil them with little gifts or surprise outings.

They are deeply sentimentall and warmly-loving people.
Any career in which they can stamp their individual mark and be seen to be doing so
suits Leo down to the ground.
They have a flair for the dramatic, and need to have their efforts recognised.
Working behind the scenes isn't as appealing to the typical Leo, who prefers to take centre stage.
They dislike amateurism and strive to attain the best work from themselves and their colleugues.
The nature of their work is of less importance than the way in which they execute it
- always with their trademark style and panache.

Virgo
24Aug - 22 Sept

Traditional Virgo Traits
Modest and shy
Meticulous and reliable
Practical and diligent
Intelligent and analytical

On the dark side…
Fussy and a worrier
Overcritical and harsh
Perfectionist and conservative

A Mutable Earth Sign ruled by Mercury

Virgo shares Mercury's rulership with another of the mutable signs, Gemini.
But where Gemini expresses the fleeting intellectual curiosity of Mercury,
Virgo takes on the planet's analytical quality.
The Virgoan's mind is always busy; dissecting information, scrutinizing in methodically
and finally, analyzing the whole to make sense and order of it.
Virgo sets high standards, and not always trusting others to apply the same criteria,
often prefers to work alone in order to get a thing done "just so".
Virgoans are also clever with their hands, having a distinct flair for handicrafts of all kinds.

Here is a person concerned with the details, often doing more than is necessary
to achieve the desired results.
They tend to be worriers, more so when they have to delegate any task
as they will then worry about whether the results will be up to the standards they would have applied.
They are wonderfully efficient, capable of producing order out of the most spectacular chaos
and relishing every moment spent doing so.
Like Gemini, Virgoans are suited to a career in communications or the media.
That analytical mind excels in investigative journalism, as a critic, or any area where they can
utilize Mercury's gift of words and talent for writing.
A position central to the smooth running of a company can be safely left tin the hands of a Virgo,
who has the ability to run around with a metaphorical oil-can ensuring nothing is left to chance.

In their relationships, Virgoans can be a little restrained and are certainly fastidious
about who they choose for a partner.
They are generally less forthcoming in demonstrating their feelings than other signs,
and need plenty of reassurance before they even think about long term commitment.
They need stability in a partner and can suffer a great lack of confidence in themselves
if this is not present in their relationship.
Being ruled by Mercury means that they can be good friends with a lover too.
Once in a well established relationship, Virgoans prove sincere and dependable.
They show a great deal of concern for their partner's happiness in caring and practical ways.

Virgo's sign is associated with both work and health; many of the niggling worries
that tend to preoccupy them can result in upset stomachs and associated disorders.
If they aren't worrying about something external, they'll be focusing on mattes inside themselves.
The one thing a Virgo should avoid at all costs is a medical dictionary!
The other quality associated with Virgo is a youthful appearance, and provided
they don't worry themselves into premature aging, their looks are often the envy of their peers.

-------------------

Libra
23 Sept - 23 Oct

Traditional Libra Traits
Diplomatic and urbane
Romantic and charming
Easygoing and sociable
Idealistic and peaceable

On the dark side…
Indecisive and changeable
Gullible and easily influenced
Flirtatious and self-indulgent

A Cardinal Air Sign ruled by Venus

The symbol of this sign, the scales, is the key to understanding the Libran personality.
The need for balance and harmony is their prime motivation in life.
Their way of achieving this is to explore all options and consider all the possibilities
before arriving at a decision.
Librans have a natural flair for mediating, bringing opposing sides together;
they deeply dislike taking one person's side against another.

Their ability to see both points of view coupled with a fear of hurting others
can make the typical Libran appear indecisive, but their inherent sense of justice and fair play
drives them to seek a solution acceptable to all.
Being an air sign, Librans use their minds to seek resolution in any conflict.

Librans have a very strong need to form relationships and are never truly happy when alone.
Often they see a relationship as giving them a sense of identity and validity.
They have a great deal of loving affection to give to a partner and need to receive the same in return.

Unpleasantness or a quarrelsome atmosphere is deeply distressing to Libra's innate sense of harmony, although there is nothing they love more than making after a squabble.
Venu's rulership of this sign imparts a sensuality and a love of luxurious surroundings;
Librans adore setting the scene for a romantic evening, and will go to a lot of trouble
to make sure that the atmosphere is right.

Although you'll find Librans - as with the other eleven signs -
in every walk of life, there are some occupations in which they are far happier.

At work Librans have a calm unflappable air, perhaps disguising the fact that
they are ambitious in their careers.
Suited to any profession where their skills of tact and diplomacy count for something,
they make excellent personnel management, counselors of various kinds, and of course
their innate sense of justice can serve the law well.
Their appreciation of the arts and all things of beauty equips them well
for a career in the fashion industry or beauty/alternative health fields.
They are innovative at design and décor, whether dressing a stage, a window or a top model.
As they make such efforts to get on well with others any career that involves
the bringing together of people is a natural extension of their abilities.

Librans are charm personified; people take to them at once and this they thrive upon.
They have a friendly, genuine interest in the people around them
and take a pretty laid-back attitude to life most of the time.
Don't be deceived by this however, Librans accomplish this only through knowing that
they have everything balanced and under control.

Scorpio
24 Oct - 22 Nov

Traditional Scorpio Traits
Determined and forceful
Emotional and intuitive
Powerful and passionate
Exciting and magnetic

On the dark side…
Jealous and resentful
Compulsive and obsessive
Secretive and obstinate

A Fixed Water Sign ruled by Pluto

Scorpio are an intensely emotional sign.
They feel everything deeply and passionately, and are driven by the powerful motivation of their ruler Pluto. This rulership leads them to delve to the heart of both issues and of people.
They are never content with surface appearances, seeking always to discover what lies beneath.
This constant probing brings them many valuable insights into human nature.
To a Scorpion this knowledge is power and it is up to the individual whether they use it to hurt or to heal. On the one hand they are capable of sharing the most profound secrets,
but are just as likely to keep their knowledge locked away and discard the key.

The depth of a Scorpion's emotions can be disconcerting even to themselves.
Some make a tremendous effort to keep these forces under control, although an outer appearance of calm, detached poise belies the turbulent nature underneath.
They have immensely strong desires and are known as the most passionate sign of the zodiac.
When a Scorpion falls in love, it is with an extraordinary intensity that can be overwhelming to witness.
The eyes are said to be the windows to the soul, and Scorpio has a way
of making you understand just what this means.
A Scorpion needs to be in control above all else and can only do this by understanding you completely, knowing you in the end better than you know yourself.
This need for control can manifest itself as possessiveness and jealousy at times,
and no one know how to sting like a wounded Scorpion.
It is only fair to balance this by saying that a Scorpion happily in love is strongly supportive
of a partner's hopes and wishes, and will share good and bad times equally;
they are compassionate and unflagging in the promotion of their lover's happiness.

Because of their natural affinity with all things hidden and mysterious,
Scorpions are natural detectives.
Work in the fields of psychology, medical research or investigative journalism
satisfies their deep desire to unearth the answers.
They may literally work below the surface.
Mining operations, oil drilling and archaeology are all associated with this sign.
Being a water sign they have excellent memories capable of retaining large amounts of data,
this makes them good linguists or historians.
The considerable energies of this Scorpio's sign is associated with the occult,
all matters mysterious, death and rebirth.
Pluto is the planet of regeneration and it inspires it's subjects,
despite the fixity of the sign, to evolve continually.
Scorpions have a great reserves of inner strength,
cope better in a crisis than anyone else, and are life's survivors.

Sagittarius

Tradtional Sagittarius Traits
Optimistic and freedom-loving
Jovial and good-humored
Honest and straightforward
Intellectual and philosophical

On the dark side….
Blindly optimistic and careless
Irresponsible and superficial
Tactless and restless

A Mutable Fire Sign ruled by Jupiter

Sagittarians are the optimists of the zodiac,
always believing that it is better to travel hopefully than to arrive.
The one thing that cannot bear is stagnation of any kind.
They possess an adventurous and restless spirit which refuses to be tied down, and if they cannot physiclly travel the world they will explore the realms of the mind with the same enthusiasm.
In fact, the centaur loves to acquire knowledge and in turn pass it on to others.
Sagittarians are. Despite their restless and happy go lucky attitude, great philosophers and teachers. Generally, these Jupiter ruled people are open and honest, highly principled and idealistic.

Sagittarians enthusiasm for life and living makes them very popular,
and they actually have a wide and varied circle of friends.
The sign is traditionally associated with foriden cultures,
so the archer's circle of friends can be spread far and wide.
These people thrive on the stimulus of anything that's outside their normal experience.
They are attracted to people who, like themselves, are active and live life to the full.

In relationships, Sagittarians show the same qualities that run through the rest of their lives.
They need to be friends with their lover.
Passion is there alright, this is a fire sign don't forget, but the centaur isn't given to heavy emotional display. They have a certain panche when it comes to courtship; perhaps showering their lover with little gifts - they're noted for their generosity and love to make such gestures
- or whisking them away somewhere unexpectedly.
The archer's interest are far ranging and they need constant stimuli to avoid letting boredom set in.
A sense of humour and a warm generous nature are brought to all Sagittarian relationships.
The idea of being fenced in or restricted is the one thing guaranteed to send them galloping away in the other direction.
Though many happy and permanent relationships survive when the partner is canny enough to understand this and keep the Sagittarian's interest alive.

In their working environment, Sagittarians respond with alacrity to challenges.
They are unafraid of risk taking and many opt to run their own businesses.
Jupiter, the sign ruler, is the planet of good fortune, opportunity and expansion.
Many seem to have a happy knack of being in the right place at the right time.
This sign is associated with sporting pursuits as well as more intelluctual professions
such as teaching and law.
There is also a link with religion and philosophy; some Sagittarians are perpetual students of such subjects, having become hooked on acquiring knowledge from an early age.

Capricorn
22 Dec - 20 Jan

Traditional Capricorn Traits
Practical and prudent
Ambitious and disciplined
Patient and careful
Humorous and reserved

On the dark side…
Pessimistic and fatalistic
Miserly and grudging
Over conventional and rigid

A Cardinal Earth Sign ruled by Saturn

Capricorns reflect Saturn's convertism, an earthy practicality,
and derive their driving force from being a cardinal sign.
While this all combines to make them determined, capable and relaible people,
there is another side to the Capricorns nature which undoes this picture.

At times Capricorns can suffer an overwhelming lack of confidence in themselves,
and having started something with every intention of seeing it through in their inimitably compentant manner, they become unsure of their abilities or feel that they're not going to live up to expectations.
This is when they are their own worst enemies as the result is an ineffectual, undisciplined
and indecisive goat who doesn't take full advantage of the dynamic energies available to Saturn's subjects.

Rather than seeing them as serious sand stand-offish personalities,
anyone who knows a Capricornian well will be able to tell you that
this appearance masks an inherent shyness and self-consciousness.
It takes time to get to know these people properly,
but this is time well invested as they are loyal and faithfull to their friends,
capable of maintaining friendships over many years and relating to friends
from different generations to themselves.
In fact another saturn influence is shown in their ability to get on well with people older than themselves.

Being an earth sigh there is a sensuality in Capricorns, but some can tend to keep it hidden,
the practicality of this sign often being a bit of a dampener on their romantic opportunities.
They find it difficult than most to express their emotions, thinking that there is a risk involved
in exposing the vulnerability of their feelings.
There is also a need in Capricornians to have a partner they can look up to and respect.
If they happen to choose a partner who increases their social standing
then they consider it to be so much the better.
They value permanence and security, need to have some kind of structure to make sense of their lives,
and take the whole business of relationships very seriously.

Capricorns have inherent ambition, and will work tirelessly to get to the top of their chosen field.
They have a painstaking throuoghness what ever they are doing,
and don't mind investing long hours in a project if they are convinced it will pay off and further their career. They have no patience with people who take a more laissez-faire attitude
and won't waste their valuable time on them.
They make all their decisions carefully and sensibly,
weighing up the situation and happy to wait for their turns to come,
as they put one foot after another further up the ladder.
They are found in all trades related construction, whether surveying, insuring,
designing or actually buliding.
They are also quite happy to be totally responsible for a company,
Capricorn probably finds the top job less lonely than some other signs would,
although they are more often found in established companies than in on the ground floor of a new one.

Aquarian
21jan-18feb

Tradtional Aquarian Traits
Friendly and humanitarian
Honest and loyal
Original and inventive
Independent and intellectual

On the dark side …
Intractable and contrary
Perverse and unpredictable
Unemotional and detached

A fixed sign ruled by Uranus

Aquarius is the eleventh sign in the zodiac,
Traditionally associated with humanity and welfare of the masses .
It is often true however ,that the Aquarian's concerns with the world's populace
can leave those closer to them feeling a bit left out .
The sign's ruler Uranus imparts an original and inventive manner of thinking and doing.
They can be unpredictable and sometimes nigh on impossible to understand,
but their nature is far from quirky.
They approach life with a certain detachment, and are generally capable of standing back
and taking a rational approach.
They are more interested in overview than niggly personal details.

They do make wonderful friends.
Aquarius is the sign of friendship, and they are always willing to help a friend, even if
it does stem from their opinion that's its logical to help a friend out rather than any sentimental reasons .
They are capable of picking up the threads of friendship even if they lost touch with u eons ago.
Aquarains' friends are more likely to number a large circle rather than one or two intimate people :
one of their prime personality traits is the desire to fell free and unencumbered.
Very close friendships tend to make them feel a bit claustrophobic ;
they'll usually maintained a slight distance which is a pity
because they can be afraid to ask a friend's help in return.

The aquarian attitude to love and friendships is slightly more complex.
They are perfectly capable of loving and their feelings are very genuine.
They just have the difficulty in explaining how they feel most of the time.
Although exciting and inventive as lovers, the volatile emotional moods and crisis '
of the water and earth signs leave the typical completely mystified;
their first reaction is always to think matters through and then explain themselves rationally.
Aquarians are often a little embarassed by effusive displays of emtion.
They tend to act more as their partner's best friend, looking for someone
who will share in their diverse interests and allow them at least the mental space and freedom they need.

Aquairius is associated with the science in general,
and many born under this sign will have successful careers in the technological side of communications,
electronics, and aviation.
They dislike being tied to a routine and may do well working outside in the fields of nature conservancy
or in the community working for the benefit of their fellowman in some way.
They shine in any career that offers them the scope to apply their ideals and utilise their unusual talents.
They need to have a degree of autonomy in their working day,
and the responsibility to make decisions without having to constantly defer to a superior.
Aquarians have a gift of being at ease with their colleagues,
and are often active members of societies and clubs in their spare time.

Pisces
19 Feb - 20 Mar

Traditonal Pisces Traits
Imaginative and sensitive
Compassionate and kind
Selfless and unworldly
Intuitive and sympathetic

On the dark side….
Escapist and idealistic
Secretive and vague
Weak-willed and easily led

A Mutable Water Sign ruled by Nepture

Pisces is the sign of unworldliness, senstivity and mystery.
The mutable nature of Pisces is symbolised by the two fishes,
each of them swimming in a different direction.
This is the essence of the Piscean nature, to flow with whatever current comes along;
they are adaptable and impressionable, responding to changes around them almost unconsciously.
Pisces is empathetic to such a degree that very often their own personality os submerged
and they lived through the feelings of those close to them.
They are the natural psychics of the zodiac and are attracted to all things mystical and unworldly.

The Piscean is a very giving person, putting other's needs before their own
to the point of self-sacrifice if need be.
No one makes a better listener than Pisces, they feel a friend's problems as if they were their own,
often becoming emotionally involved themselves.
Nothing is too much trouble for a Piscean if it means they can help ease a friend's woes,
and they are usually totally unselfish in this respect.
The disadvantage of such a willingness to always be hand dispensing tea and sympathy etc.
is that the Piscean may end up feeling a bit of a doormat and losing respect for themselves.
If this happens, the very real danger with Neptune ruling, is to turn to some form of escapism; alcohol, drugs and the like are Neptune's domain and Pisceans are easily lulled into this world than anyone else.

Pisces sees this world through a romantically tinted haze, and this extends into their relationships.
They tend to idealize their partner, sit them up on a pedestal and all but worship them.
The eternal romantic, Pisceans only start to gain a realistic view of love
after experience has taught them a bitter lesson or two.
Their emotions are always so close to the surface that it's impossible most of the time
for them to be contained.
This mutable nature of Pisces makes them willing to adjust to whatever they think will please their lover, and in this they can be truly chamelon-like; variable and changeable that you never seem to be with the same person two days running.

In every Piscean soul dwells a fund of artistic creativity; the dream world they inhabit
so often provides them with a wealth of material to bring to careers
in writing, music, acting, dancing and all artistic professions.
They are also in their element when their work involves caring for others,
whether medically, spiritually or through a charitable organisation.
If they are emotionally involved in their work, their sense of vocation is very strong
and they can be dedicated enough to specialize in their chosen field.
