He
has that suave look about him as he's walking up to
you. The swagger in his step is just a little too
exaggerated. He raises his eyebrow, gives you a silly
grin and asks, "Hey baby, what's your sign?"? It
happened more than once when I was young.
So,
baby, what IS your sign? Is it more than just a pick
up line?? Is there actually a deeper meaning to the
horoscope? What follows is a rather simplified list of
all the "zodiacal signs and their key
characteristics.? There are both positive and negative
characteristics to each sign. How well do these
descriptions fit those you know well, as well as you?
Before starting, it's important to know that there are
four types of signs (corresponding to the four
elements,) Fire, Earth, Air and Water.? There are
three of each type of sign, for a total of twelve.
The
first sign of the Zodiac is Aries, a Fire sign.? Aries
is the sign of the Ram and runs from March 21 to April
20. Courage and a quick wit are Aries qualities.? You
can make a good impression, but you're also
quick-tempered.? You can also appear selfish,
impatient and impulsive. You also have ram-like
qualities that will have you butting your horns with
other people!
The
next sign is Taurus, which is represented by the Bull,
from April 21-May 20. It's an Earth sign, and Taurus
people are earthy. They're known for reliability,
patience, and determination. On the bad side they're
jealous, possessive, and greedy.? ? In fact, they're
bullish!
Gemini is an Air sign and is represented by the Twins,
with birthdates running from May 21-June 20.? Geminis
are versatile and witty. They're usually willing to
communicate. However, they're also prone to
nervousness, superficiality and being tense. It is
because of this dual side to their personalities that
they're known as "The Twins".
Cancer, the Crab, with a birth date between June 21
and July 20, can be very emotional and loving at the
same time. Cancers are known as being very protective
and imaginative. On the bad side you'll find them to
be touchy, moody, and clingy. Cancer is a Water sign,
and Cancers are ruled by the tides rushing in and out,
which causes the moodiness.
Leo
is represented by the Lion. It's the second Fire sign.
Leos have birthdays between July 21 and August 20.?
They are warmhearted, generous individuals who can
also be intolerant and pompous. You just have to take
the good with the bad.
Virgo is the second Earth sign, with a birth date
between August 21 and September 20.? They are
represented by the Virgin and are modest and
practical.? However, they can be overly critical and
fussy.
Libra individuals are represented by the Scales.? They
weigh things to make sure they're equal.? Libra is the
second Air sign, with a birth date between September
21 and October 20.? A Libra is said to be romantic,
charming, and idealistic. Libras also are
self-indulgent and possess a gullible nature.
Scorpio is represented by the Scorpion. It's the
second Water sign, and birthdates fall between October
21 and November 20.? Scorpios are forceful, passionate
and determined. And Scorpio usually has a darker side,
which can be obsessive, compulsive and prone to
depression.
Sagittarius is the third and wisest of the Fire signs.
It's known as the Archer, with a birth date between
November 21 and December 20. Sagittarians are happy,
optimistic, intellectual people who love to talk,
often putting their foot in their mouth. They aim
high, just as archers do, and they are usually
wonderful teachers. On the down side, they're often
loud, superficial and careless.
Capricorn individuals are represented by the Goat.
Birthdays fall between December 21 and January 20.?
It's the third Earth sign. They're practical,
extremely determined, and careful when in a jovial
mood. Otherwise, you may find they can be pessimistic.
Born
between January 21 and February 20, Aquarius is
represented by Carrying Water, even though it's an Air
sign.? Aquarians are inventive, original and
independent. This sign can also have perverse,
unpredictable behaviors.
Finally, we have fishy Pisces, which, as you can
imagine, is a Water sign, with a birthdate between
February 21 and March 20. These people are known for
sensitivity and compassion. However, some Pisces can
be vague, and easily led.
These are the most basic of the characteristics of the
signs of the horoscope. There are a great many other
extremely interesting aspects that describe our
different personality traits in greater and greater
detail.? However, you can be sure that when he leers
and says, "What's your sign, baby?" he doesn't really
care what you answer!
