As the first sign of the Zodiac, Aries represents beginnings of all kinds. Aries people like to be first, and are often in a hurry. They have a natural tendency to be assertive and single-minded. In a negative situation, this can lead to stubborn aggression, but when channeled positively, the Aries personality exhibits leadership and creative accomplishments. Endurance and confidence make it possible for Aries to achieve things that might seem impossible to other people.
Aries people usually know what they want, and are rarely shy about making their needs known. They do not like to lose an argument, and may have to practice very hard to learn the art of compromise. Fair in their opinions, they make good friends because of their honesty and reliability. Aries will never desert a friend in need.
"Pioneer" is a key word often used for Aries. This inventive soul has the courage to try new things, and the optimism to believe in ultimate success.
People born under the sign of Taurus generally make good partners and companions. They are willing to share both the good and the bad in any relationship, and are good at taking responsibility rather than leaving everything for someone else to do.
The Taurus personality is typically straightforward and assertive, qualities that make it possible to accomplish a great deal and still have the time and energy to thoroughly enjoy the leisure hours. For the most part, other people are positively influenced by the Taurus character, which can serve as an encouragement to be tenacious about the issues that matter most in life. The Taurus man or woman can often be identified by clearly defined facial features and a dynamic personality.
Taurus is ruled by the planet Venus, symbolizing romantic love and artistic pursuits. These qualities reflect the fun- loving side of the Taurus character and provide an excellent balance for its more pragmatic qualities.
Gemini has so many talents and interests, sometimes you may find that your attention gets split between too many things at once. It's just so easy for to start doing something, then get distracted by something else that seems equally as fascinating. Yet this diversity will also be the root of your success, for you have the ability to accomplish much more than the average person, often in a relatively short time. You're able to keep track of a wide range of information that would confuse a lesser person. Rather than causing undue stress, the many demands on your time and attention actually seem to increase your energy and motivation.
Famous Gemini personalities include the poet Walt Whitman, who summed up a significant aspect of the Gemini character when he wrote, "Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself. (I am large, I contain multitudes.)" Symbolized by the Twins, Gemini celebrates not just the duality, but the multiplicity of human nature. Gemini recognizes the complexity of life, and is open to the abundance of possibilities that exist in a single moment.
The Cancer personality is usually deeply concerned with matters relating to home and family. This does not mean that you cannot succeed in a business career, and it certainly does not exclude your artistic talents -- but usually you will find yourself making the welfare of your loved ones your top priority. Since you take so much responsibility for their immediate physical and emotional well-being, there can be times when you need help with the more external concerns of business and finance.
People born under the sign of Cancer are usually intuitive and nurturing. They generally know what they want from life, and are not readily discouraged by temporary setbacks. People who come in contact with the Cancerian personality are usually impressed by its many strengths, and the seriousness with which such a person builds important values in life. Cancerian men and women can often be recognized by their physical agility and mature outlook on life.
Leo is characterized by the lion, a symbol of pride, dignity, and nobility. Perhaps more than some other personality types, Leos can be deeply wounded by an insult or personal slight, yet their generosity and good nature can make them very forgiving.
Traditionally, the Leo personality is famous for its magnificent charm. Most Leos have a persuasive smile that can get them just about anything they want. They like to take good care of their physical appearance, and usually have an animal magnetism that gets attention wherever they go. But Leo doesn't rely on charisma alone. There is a lot of creativity and strength in this sign. Natural leaders, Leos are sometimes accused of being arrogant or stubborn, but in fact it is their confidence and persistence that produce success. Even when things don't go as planned, Leo's inborn grace may save the situation.
Appealing in social situations, as a friend, Leo can be counted on to brighten anyone's day.

Virgo is often associated with a drive for perfection. You are willing to spend as much time as is needed to do a job correctly, and you will naturally expect the same kind of thoroughness from those who work with you. Your willingness to refine all the significant details that others may overlook is one of the keys to your success. You are known for delivering what you promise, and you can generally be counted on to get things right the first time. People know that they can count on you, and this means that your services will be in demand for the most important projects and complicated undertakings.
The Virgo character is considered one of the more pragmatic signs in the zodiac. Certainly, a Virgo can enjoy a good time as much as anyone else. But you probably feel more comfortable when you can balance the merely recreational with that which is also practical. The less dedicated souls around you may sometimes urge you to "lighten up", but in the long run most folks appreciate your knack for getting things done without making a big fuss about it.
Libra people are committed to the principles of fairness and equality. Thus, you may often find yourself in the position of arbitrator, asked to render opinions and advise others on a wide variety of issues. You are able to express yourself with a quiet charm that makes people more inclined to agree with you.
People recognize and admire your balanced approach to life. You seek harmony in your environment, and as a result you probably have a well-developed aesthetic sense, which you try to apply to your surroundings both at home and at work.
On a deeper level, you also seek harmony and balance within yourself. For most Librans, this is best achieved with the help of a loving partner, a life mate who can help them discover their own inner beauty.
As a friend, you get along best with people who share your appreciation for the finer things in life.
