Zodiac - Sun Signs
The four elements—air signs, fire signs, water signs, earth signs—all work together to
create a comprehensive whole, which shows up in your life as your unique personality
traits. Every sign is illuminated by its own point of view, complete with powerful
strengths and exhausting weaknesses, and we need every single one of them (and us)
to keep life fruitful and interesting.
Before we break down the characteristics of each star sign, there are a couple more
things to mention. Firstly, each star sign falls into one of four triplicities.
Triplicities are also known as zodiac sign elements:
These are Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius),
Fire Signs (Leo, Sagittarius, Aries),
Earth Signs (Taurus, Capricorn, Virgo), and
Water Signs (Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer).
Each of the triplicities has its own set of traits.
Air signs are analytical thinkers and strong communicators.
Fire signs are associated with passion, creativity and playfulness.
Water signs are known for their emotional sensitivity and intuitiveness.
Earth signs are practical, reliable and honest.
The signs that fall at the beginning of a season (Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn)
are what’s known as Cardinal signs. This means these signs are characterized by their
proactivity and ‘get up and go’ initiative.
Fixed signs (Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius) are those that occur in the middle of
a season, and are notable for the characteristics of consistency and reliability.
Finally, signs falling at the end of a season (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, or Pisces) are
Mutable: meaning they're flexible and adaptable.

Symbol: The Ram
Ruling planet: Mars
Ruling house: First House of Self
Key traits: Fiery, passionate, determined, courageous
You are a natural-born leader. Ruled by Mars (the god of War), it's probably no surprise
that you're known for being ballsy and pioneering.
You're tenacious and don't get scared. You like to take risks, try new experiences and
get an adrenaline rush. Sure, it might mean that things don't always go your way, but it
also makes you passionate and full of fire. If there's one thing you're not, Aries,
it's boring.
Your fire element is what makes you so energetic and creative, and thanks to being first
in the zodiac, you don't fixate on the past. No regrets. Your optimism and hope makes
you caring and generous. You're a good pal, Aries.
Taurus ♉️
20th April – 20th May
Symbol: The Bull
Ruling planet: Venus
Ruling house: Second House of Income
Key traits: Kind, generous, loyal, patient
This is one of the most reliable signs, known for being stable, reliable and devoted.
Your friends are important to you and, once you get close with someone, you are
fiercely loyal.
This commitment is also reflected in your work, although can also be interpreted
as stubbornness. Yes, you are typically stubborn, but it probably stems from the fact
you can't stand change. You just know what you want and how things should be, and
you like to keep it that way.
Taurus is an Earth sign (like Virgo and Capricorn) making you practical, stoic and
grounded. You also value the physical in all aspects of your life–touch, sex, shopping,
clothes, and pretty things. Does it make you materialistic? Maybe. Or maybe you just
have good taste.
Gemini ♊️
21st May – 20th June
Symbol: The Twins
Ruling planet: Mercury
Ruling house: Third House of Communication
Key traits: Independent, curious, charming, gentle
Gentle Gemini. You are affectionate and curious and, as you're an Air sign (like Libra
and Aquarius), you are smart, sharp, quick-learning and adaptable. You're all about the
mind–you are analytical but you can still be impulsive and erratic.
You're ruled by Mercury, the planet that represents communication and writing. You
probably like reading and talking, but that doesn't make you sentimental. In fact, if any
of the signs are likely to get 'the sick', it's you. Emotions = no thanks.
You'll probably be found at the party mixing your drinks and chatting BS. And why the
hell not? You're a fun time gal. People like to have you around. You're funny and make
people laugh, though your jokes can sometimes be a little on the nose. Who cares
though? It's not your fault if they get offended.

Symbol: The Crab
Ruling planet: Moon
Ruling house: Fourth House of Home Life
Key traits: Compassionate, sentimental, protective, emotional

self-confident and entertaining. Being Centre stage doesn't often bother you, whether
that's with mates at a party or with colleagues at work. You like to take command.
You're courageous.
Sometimes, this dominance and confidence can come across as arrogance. You're
probably not everyone's cup of tea, and some may find you overbearing. For the most
part though, you bring fun and vibrancy to people's lives. You're unforgettable, Leo.
Virgo ♍️
23rd August – 22nd September
Symbol: The Virgin or Maiden
Ruling planet: Mercury
Ruling house: Sixth House of Wellness and Daily Routine
Key traits: Humble, practical, organized, patient
You're an Earth sign along with Taurus and Capricorn, making you practical and
reliable, and because you're ruled by Mercury, you are speedy, organized and fiercely
clever.
You have high standards and you know how things should be done. So yes, you're a bit
of a control freak. It's your way or the highway. This can make your inner critic quite
savage though, and there's no one harder on you than yourself. You work damn hard
though, and there's no task too big or hard, whether it's for you or other people. You're
helpful like that, Virgo.

exasperated, 'Will you just pick one already?!' aimed your way. You're a nightmare to
order Delivered with.
Your love of balance means you can't stand mess, and being ruled by Venus, you're
into beautiful things. You want everything to look nice. If you mess up your winged
eyeliner even slightly, you're taking it all off and starting again.
If there's one thing you can't stand, it's being alone. Loneliness can creep up on you and
hit you like a ton of bricks. You're probably a relationship person because, whether you
like to admit it or not, you love love.

23rd October – 21st November
Symbol: The Scorpion
Ruling planets: Pluto and Mars
Ruling house: Eighth House of Emotional Bonds and Sexual Intimacy
Key traits: Mysterious, powerful, brave, resourceful
There are MANY different sides to you, Scorpio. On the surface, you're a ball-
buster; confident and set in your ways. But underneath it all, you're incredibly emotional
(not that you'll ever admit it) and you have a deep desire for connection (that's the
Water element talking). You're the one who will get ghosted and act like you just DGAF,
but really, you're crying on the inside.
But anyone who wrongs you better watch out. You are not one for forgiveness. You're
ruled by both Pluto (god of the Underworld) and Mars (god of War), so it's no surprise
that you can kick off when betrayed. No one messes with Scorpio.
You'll fight tooth and nail for the people you love though; you're fiercely protective.
There's no one better to have fighting your corner than you, Scorpio.

love going to new places, though this can make you reckless. You've made some bad
decisions in your time.
You're honest (sometimes painfully so), but people always know where they stand with
you. You're never two-faced. You have a bad bitch sense of humor and your friends
think you're hilarious. You're the queen of the clap backs.

An Air element along with Gemini and Libra ruled by the planet Uranus, Aquarius are
smart, analytical and original. You are hugely creative and unique. Your unconventional
and eccentric ways can make you a little unpredictable. People think you're a bit weird,
but if they're the type of people you want in your life, they also think your weirdness is
what makes you so wonderful.
Your analytical nature can make you a bit detached. If anyone's got serious bottled
up emotion, it's you. You're strong though and very independent. It just takes a lot for
you to let someone in.
Pisces ♓️

Symbol: The Fish
Ruling planets: Neptune
Ruling house: Twelfth House of Spirituality
Key traits: Creative, easy-going, faithful, sensitive.

you deeply emotional and compassionate. This is backed up by your planetary ruling of
Neptune, making you super intuitive, faithful and caring.
This can give you a tendency to overthink which can make you anxious. Plus, because
you're so empathetic and understanding, you expect that of others too, and are often
disappointed. Words definitely can hurt you and it probably won't surprise you to learn
that you can be a little over-sensitive. Kindness is not weakness though, it's your
strength.
You likely have an artistic side and don't mind being on your own listening to music or
doing something arty.
