Explore the ancient art of astrology. Here you will find all the information you need to understand sun signs, aspects, moon signs, houses, and the many other components of western astrology. In addition, weekly horoscopes will be posted each Friday.
Those born between January 20th and February 18th are born under the sign of Aquarius, the eleventh of the sun signs in western astrology. This flighty and eccentric sign represents independence and creativity. Aquarius is the sign of the waterbearer and individuals with this trait tend to express themselves though the words "I know."
The Character of Aquarius
Aquarians are the sign of the future. They are visionaries and the very incarnation of astrology itself. Those under the influence of Aquarius are completely unorthodox. They are so original that they'll almost always refuse to follow a crowd. If you are an Aquarius, you enjoy being different, even if that 'different' comes off as 'crazy' to most of the world.
Independence of the intellectual variety is the most distinctive quality of a seasoned Aquarius. You are liberal and incredibly progressive, but you're also very sure of yourself. You know what you know and you're not easy to convince otherwise. This innate stubbornness pops up at unexpected times, sometimes over ridiculous little things. You might refuse to change your mind regarding an idea you have, a place you're going to visit, or even what you're going to have for dinner. This isn't necessarily your most attractive qualities, but it does make you steadfast in your beliefs.
As an Aquarius, you happily and frequently ignore what others think of you. You'll strike off on new paths, not caring that no one supports you, simply because you want to. Boredom is like the plague, to be avoided at all costs, so you do everything you can to keep busy. This doesn't mean you're always on the go. Aquarius can be busy simply by watching the clouds roll by. Boredom is a state of mind, one you refuse to indulge in.
Most people born under this sign live in their own little world inside their heads. This doesn't mean you sit in a chair staring at the wall. This means that you are constantly seeking knowledge. You are open-minded, love new ideas, and search for the next perfect vision. You are totally objective when doing this, rarely letting emotion get in the way because you have an innate distrust of the emotional world. And yet you are an emotional sign. This causes the typical inner conflict common among Aquarians.
As an Aquarius, you are keenly aware of your own intelligence. This leads directly to your greatest weakness: a tendency to inflate your own importance and pose as an expert on things you really have no business being in expert in. But since you have the ability to become an expert in anything, this weakness can be turned into a strength if you are willing to do the work (though most Aquarians aren't).
Aquarius and Its Relationship With Others
You tend to be highly social and you attract friends wherever you go. You enjoy surrounding yourself with a great variety of people so you can entertain yourself by watching their interactions. You could easily be called a student of human behavior. Weakness annoys you, but you understand human frailty and accept it as a part of life. You are also aware of your own faults, though you may not broadcast them.
At your heart, you are a lover of humanity. Your concern for the welfare of mankind is immense and you will go to great lengths to help humanity as a whole, but your ability to engage in personal relationships, especially of the intimate kind, is suspect. There is always a small part of you that refuses to engage, a part that remains distant. This can be off-putting to those who do not understand the unique way in which Aquarius loves.
Independence is your way of life. Anything or anyone can and will be sacrificed to maintain it. If you feel trapped, such as in a relationship that curtails your freedom, you will break free no matter the cost. This makes romantic relationships difficult, but if you can find someone who respects your intellect and independence, you are certainly capable of a lasting relationship.
You are very good at overlooking the shortcomings of others. You'll forgive almost any fault and love everyone equally. The problem? You expect everyone else to do the same. You expect that your faults will be overlooked, and when that doesn't happen, you can be deeply hurt. This again leads you to withdraw from personal relationships and instead concentrate on your own projects.
Aquarius is the sign of the idealist. You like to see everyone happy and will go to great lengths to do something both important and meaningful to the world at large. Many Aquarians become politicians or get involved in social causes as a way of giving back to the world and benefiting humanity.
You are full of hopes and dreams, but you're not content to just dream. You want to makes these dreams a reality for all. But your talent really lies in coming up with the grand plan for improving things and letting others implement it. You are the idea person, the creative one, the one who shuns the day to day tasks in favor of a higher calling. You'd rather invent the scheme and let others worry about the details.
You are so determined to be an original that you are sometimes contrary just to be contrary. You don't care at all about convention, giving others the impression that you are eccentric. You enjoy this label and expect that others will apply it kindly.
When an Aquarian is bored, trouble will inevitably follow. You like to start arguments, not because you feel deeply about something, but because arguing is an intellectual exercise that engages the mind. You like to provoke others to see what kind of response you'll get, especially when you're around those people you consider a little boring. Your idea of fun isn't always appreciated.
Still, Aquarians are incredibly kind and easygoing. You don't take offense easily and you make a steadfast friend. Others love to be around you because you are entertaining, but also because you have some unique and worthy ideas that they want to hear. The fact that you're both reasonable and gentle is just a bonus.
Altruistic, helpful, and painfully honest, Aquarians move through life with an eye to gaining knowledge. If you're an Aquarius, you are exciting and change the lives of all those you come in contact with for the better.
The tenth of the sun signs is Capricorn, and those born between December 22nd and January 19th are under its influence. Capricorns are typically steady, reserved, and patient. All of this makes them dangerous enemies. To truly understand this sign, you must understand the details most commonly associated with the astrological sun sign of Capricorn.
The Capricorn Personality
Most Capricorns are prudent, cunning, disciplined, and seek security in everyday life. If you are a Capricorn, you likely prefer to use your fox-like intellect instead of brute force. You are probably determined and quick to seize most opportunities. Capricorn is a feminine, cardinal earth sign. Feminine signs are inwardly directed and are strong through inner reserves. Cardinal signs are usually the initiators of the world. Earth signs tend to be stable, practical, and wise in many ways. All these traits come together to form someone who is wise, quiet, and likes to start in-depth projects. However, Capricorn is famous for not always completing projects. This isn't because of boredom, but because a better opportunity comes up.
Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn. Saturn was the Roman god responsible for the sowing the harvesting of all types of grain. Back before the invention of the telescope, Saturn was thought to be the outermost planet of the universe. Because of this, Saturn tends to represent discipline, obstacles, limitation and restriction. It should come as no surprise that Capricorns are so cautious and so ready to take advantage of any situation that might present itself.
The first and most important symbol of Capricorn is the goat. This is an animal who is able to move quickly to get to great heights by finding and utilizing every foothold. The goat can also use its powerful horns to bash through any obstacles that might show up. The glyph (written symbol) of Capricorn sort of looks like the V of the beard of the goat (if you look closely enough). It can also be interpreted to represent the human knee (look for the circle; this is the kneecap). Obviously, Capricorn rules the knee and kneecap.
In a more symbolic way, the glyph for Capricorn is two straight lines that meet one another connected to a circle and a small crescent. These two lines represent authority and responsibility. The circle is energy and the crescent is passion. What does this mean? Basically, authority and responsibility meld and become one, strengthened by both energy and passion. This describes the base of the Capricorn personality.
The Correspondences of Capricorn
The sign of Capricorn rules the knees, bones, and joints. If you're a Capricorn, you may have a lovely bone structure but be prone to stiff joints and even arthritis. Many Capricorns suffer from rheumatism and have various orthopedic problems. Capricorns should enjoy physical exercise that is easy on the joints, such as swimming and gentle strolls. High impact sports tend to be hard on Capricorn natives.
Saturday, or Saturn's Day, is the luckiest day of the week for Capricorns. The numbers two and eight are powerful and even lucky for those born under the sign of the goat. Garnet is most commonly associated with Capricorn as it represents true love, high esteem, and even popularity.
Some other correspondences of Capricorn include:
Any color associated with nature and the earth, most notably brown and dark green
Cities such as Boston, Brussels, Chicago, Montreal, and Oxford
Countries such as Afghanistan, Bulgaria, India, and Mexico
Trees such as elm, pine, and poplar
Flowers such as carnation and ivy
Lead and metals containing lead
Goats and other animals with cloven hooves
Many of the ideas associated with Capricorn revolve around determination and patience. But these qualities aren't always positive. Capricorn is cunning and patient, yes, but this means they will hold on to knowledge, using it when it best serves their own interests. If you're a Capricorn, your cool reserve may put off many people, keeping them from truly getting to know you. Some may resent your cold and calculated approach to life, and may even plot against you, trying to use your strengths. Capricorn is well advised to make sincere attempts to cultivate friendships, though this isn't necessary a top priority.

Those born between December 22nd and January 19th are born under the sign of Capricorn, the tenth of the sun signs. This intriging astrological sign represents steadiness and cunning. Capricorn is the sign of the goat, and individuals with this trait tend to express themselves though the words "I use."
The Character of Capricorn
Capricorns are almost as ambitious as Aries, and the sign of the goat spends much of its life in pursuit of its destiny. A desire for money, status, success, authority, position, and even for love dominates the world of Capricorn. If you're a Capricorn, your life may feel like one great question.
Capricorns are highly practical as well as being initiators, so you're likely a good leader if you're born under this sign. Time is a valuable commodity to you, and this makes you organized and an excellent planner of even the most complex operations. Only Capricorn is capable of infinite patience. You can wait as long as necessary when it comes to the pursuit of your goals and you rarely lose interest.
You might be steady and patient, but you can also be a little too stern and certainly too melancholy. You live for responsibility, restriction, and discipline. You are born striving for success, and you'll give up much in the pursuit of your dreams. Capricorn, more than any other sign, realizes that the real world exists and must be dealt with. You may allow yourself little time for the smaller pleasures in life, but this doesn't bother you. You have bigger things on your mind.
As a Capricorn, you have great faith in your own abilities. You know you can depend on yourself and often refuse to depend on anyone else. Others may see you as cold and distant, but that's only because they don't understand. You might be self-sufficient, but you are also sensitive and caring and ready to lend a shoulder to cry on at a moment's notice. You're not as somber as others seem to think. In fact, you have a sense of humor that's just waiting to burst forth. You just know when it's appropriate and when you have to focus on the bigger picture.
Capricorn and Its Relationship With Others
You are particular and painstaking in your career and always set out with a plan. If there's any sign that knows what it's going, it's Capricorn. It takes you a little longer to assess a situation, especially when it concerns your carerr, but this means you're less likely to make rash decisions. This usually leads to success in business, and often draws the jealously of others. You're good with money and tend to accumulate wealth in your later years, and you're not quiet about it. You're not exactly boastful, but you don't hide it either. This can kindle resentment in others.
You're concerned with safety and tend to be materialistic. You can be spiteful and even mean towards those who get in your way, so making friends can be difficult for this sun sign. You are prideful, almost as prideful as Leo, and you suffer from an inability to forgive. Once a friendship has been shattered, it is almost always lost for good. As a Capricorn, you tend not to mourn this less, instead chosing to move forward and focus on the future.
Pride is a great motivator for the sun sign of Capricorn, so you do repay favors done to you. But you won't if you think your pride may take a hit, so others may see you as capricious. You don't like to be indebted and will do much to put things right, but not if your reputation is at stake.
If there's a sign that might be prompted to marry for position or money, it's Capricorn. This isn't to say you will not marry for love, but love isn't enough. Capricorn also has a need to be in control, so you tend to be the dominate partner in romantic relationships. You don't like being vulnerable and you have difficulty trusting another person. This may lead to constantly testing the loyalty of others, especially those closest to you. When this drives others away, you shrug your shoulders and move on, earning you the reputation of being a loner. Despite this, you crave appreciation and even love. But the universe will stop turning before you'd admit it!
Capricorns are layers of masks, making it difficult for others to get to know you. You are self-contained, but others read this as indifferent and out of touch. Those who take the time to dig through the layers will be richly rewarded as Capricorn is capable of true loyalty and love. You also stick around no matter what, making you a fierce friend.
Reserved, patient, and disciplined, Capricorns move through life ready to seize an opportunity. If you're a Capricorn, you follow your passions and pursue your dreams with surefooted determination.
The ninth of the sun signs is Sagittarius, and those born between November 22nd and December 21st are under its influence. Sagittarius is typically optimistic, energetic, and intelligent, but there is a darker side to this sign, as with most others. To truly understand this, you must understand the details associated with Sagittarius.
The Sagittarius Personality
The typical Sagittarius is generous, open, ambitious, loves a challenge. If you are a Sagittarius, you probably love your freedom and like to explore and seek out new ideas. Sagittarius is a masculine, mutable fire sign. Masculine signs are outwardly directed and strong though immediate action. Mutable signs are adaptable and willing to change. Fire signs are passionate about everything. These traits come together to create an individual who needs action and can easily commit to a course of action once a decision has been made. Sagittarius, however, can be prone to reacting without thinking and lashing out when it is not called for. Sagittarians also tend to take projects from beginning to end, even when a project should be abandoned.
Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter. Jupiter was the ruler of the heavens and the most important of the Roman gods. This translates into the ideas of abundance, optimism, good fortune, and expansion. Jupiter's influence brings a true Sagittarius good luck, so much so that many Sagittarians have the utmost confidence in the world because it's never let them down. It's no wonder this astrological sign is the sign of the eternal optimist.
The primary symbol of Sagittarius is the archer. This represents lofty goals, forthrightness, and a love of the great outdoors. The glyph (written symbol) of Sagittarius represents a pointed arrow, but it's also more than that. If you look closely, you'll see a human leg from hip to knee, which is the part of the body ruled by Sagittarius. This is the line of wisdom angled away from trouble and pointing towards those ever-present lofty goals.
The Correspondences of Sagittarius
The sign of Sagittarius rules the thighs, liver, and hips. This means that if you're a Sagittarius, you may be prone to liver problems. Even if you're not, you may have a sensitive liver. This results in a tendency to abuse alcohol occasionally. You might also be susceptible to hepatitis. Regardless of this, you should get a great deal of outdoor exercise if you want to remain in good health.
Thursday is the luckiest day for anyone born under the sign of the archer, and the numbers five and seven have great potential. Turquoise is associated with Sagittarius, attracting love, protecting from harm, and giving the wearing the ability to see into the future.
Some other correspondences of Sagittarius include:
The colors of royalty and the artistic, most notably royal purple
Cities such as Acapulco, Budapest, Cologne, and Toledo
Countries such as Australia, Hungary, and Spain
Trees such as birch, mulberry, and oak
Flowers such as dandelion, holly, and narcissus
Tin and metals containing tin
The horse and other related animals
Many of the ideas associated with Sagittarius concern good fortune and optimism. But Sagittarians are often at the mercy of the fiery qualities, especially when on the move (which is often since this sign has trouble staying put). The almost fanatical pursuit of freedom may incite jealously and possessiveness in others. It may also hurt those closest to you such as friends and lovers. Sagittarius needs to be well aware of the emotions of others to avoid alienating everyone.

Those born between November 22nd and December 21 are born under the sign of Sagittarius, the ninth of the sun signs. This astrological sign symbolizes powerful and unrelenting optimism. Sagittarius is the sign of the archer, and individuals with this trait tend to express themselves through the words "I see."
The Character of Sagittarius
If you are ruled by the sign of the archer, you may appear to flow through life untouched by hardship. Sagittarius is the sign of luck, of those people who always seem to be in the right place at the right time and know how to take advantage of the nuances of a situation. These traits tend to result in someone who is cheery and happy most of the time. Like everyone, Sagittarians have their dark side, but these moments pass quickly. You might momentarily be upset when something doesn't go your way, but you don't really dwell on it, allowing you to move forward quickly.
Sagittarius cannot be held or confined against their will. They are independent to a fault and are adventurous to the point where they can get themselves into trouble. You like to wander and hate being tied down, and you have no desire to change this. You truly believe that the grass is greener on the other side, and you'll do anything to get there.
If you're a true Sagittarius, you'll probably have the constant urge to follow knowledge wherever it may take you. You follow this knowledge through and you are always searching for wisdom. In fact, the ancients considered Sagittarius the sign of the explorer and the philosopher, and true Sagittarians are usually both.
You don't like to meddle in the affairs of others, and you expect the same courtesy be extended to you. You're not typically possessive or jealous, but your ire can be aroused if others try to impose their beliefs or values on you. "Life and let live" is a way of life for you.
There tend to be an excess of Sagittarians involved in communication careers. You can find this sign in many positions in TV stations, publishing houses, and radio stations, among other things. Most individuals born under this sign have a hearty sense of humor and are normally in high spirits. Practical jokes have some appeal, and almost all Sagittarians are wonderful storytellers and conversationalists. Many entertainers and speakers of all kinds have been born under this sign, including such gifted persons as Woody Allen, Jane Austen, Walt Disney, Bette Midler, Mark Twain, and Dick Van Dyke.
Sagittarius is one of the most versatile signs, and those falling under its influence tend to be good at many different things. If you're a Sagittarius, you're likely the Jack-of-all-Trades of the astrological world. The problem is that you're always looking for something new and tend to set off to work on a new project before you're done with the old one. You do become bored, but that's not why you move on. You are simply compelled to by your very nature.
The Sign of Sagittarius and Its Relationship With Others
Sagittarians hate to be tied down and tend to have difficulty maintaining long term relationships. This sign tends to wander and cut ties of a romantic nature, though many Sagittarians can and do become involved in profound relationships. It's simply not the norm, but it is possible.
Despite this, Sagittarius makes a good and loyal friend. They are kind and free of malice, and always willing to lend a hand when necessary while expecting nothing in return. As they hate being tied down, so they hate tying down others. There will be nothing owed to a Saggitarius, but a return favor would be appreciated by this openhearted sign.
Business relationships tend to go well while they last. If you're a Sagittarius, you tend to be clever and imaginative. You readily adapt to new ways of doing things and are willing to use all the tools at your disposal. You don't like menial tasks, preferring projects that allow you some risk. You have an innate belief in your own luck, making you willing to risk much to get ahead. Since this usually pays off, your belief is well founded.
Like the arrow of the archer, you are open, frank, and straightforward. You don't play games and you are sometimes cruel in your honesty. Most appreciate this tendency towards the truth because they don't have to spend time figuring out what you really mean. Some resent you for speaking the unvarnished truth, but this doesn't stop you from speaking it. Of course, you don't appreciate it when the shoe is on the other foot since you tend to be thin-skinned and take offense easily.
Sagittarians can be wasteful, reckless, irresponsible, and extravagant. You tend to miss appointments and deadlines and often leave tasks unfinished, mostly because you simply forgot. You can be a little shallow and have a problem making commitments. Despite all this, you're one of the most likable astrological signs. You may be unreliable, but since everyone knows that and you don't bother to hide it, you're not deceiving anyone. Others enjoy being around you, and you enjoy the company.
Cheerful, charming, and pure fun to be around, Sagittarius truly lives life. You pursue your passions and change with the wind, somehow coming out on top even against all the odds.
The eighth of the sun signs is Scorpio, and those born between October 23rd and November 21st are under its influence. Though Scorpio can be passionate, intense, and stubborn, there is much more to this powerful sign. Fully understanding this means looking at the many details associated with the sign of the scorpion.
The Scorpio Personality
Those born under the sign of Scorpio are typically imaginative, jealous, emotional, persistent, and unlikely to yield under any circumstances. Like the scorpion for which it is named, a Scorpio can be secretive and deadly. Drawing the wrath of a Scorpio is not usually recommended, for they will seek vengeance over even the smallest harm.
Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto. Pluto was the ancient god of the underworld and the dead. In an astrological sense, Pluto is the planet of birth, death, and regeneration. This planet rules both the beginning and the end, which can sometimes gives Scorpio a sense of superiority and control. This can lead to unnecessary conflict, but can be guarded against by the astute Scorpio.
Scorpio is a fixed, feminine, water sign. Fixed signs resist change and tend not to be the initiators of the world. Feminine signs are inwardly directed and tend to be strong through their own inner reserves. Water signs are intuitive, nurturing, and tend to be highly emotional. All these traits come together to create someone who is a loyal friend and lover, but tends to be high strung. They don't really like to initiate projects, but they're more than willing to finish what another starts. Their strong sense of perfectionism and resistance to change can often cause problems in relationships, but these can be overcome if the Scorpio in question is persistent enough.
The symbol of Scorpio is the scorpion. These represents poison and a fatal sting, at least in a metaphorical sense. The glyph (written symbol) of this sun sign is the stinger of a scorpion connected to what is supposed to be the human reproductive organs. Take a moment to study the glyph and you might begin to see it. This is the symbol of the phoenix, a bird of regeneration and immortality. The curved lines can also represent strong emotions, while the arrow brings a sense of practicality to the picture. So a typical Scorpio may be highly emotional, but they have the control to turn that emotion toward a singular goal. The arrow also represents those who are born with a sense of purpose or even destiny. These people are a force to be reckoned with.
The Correspondences of Scorpio
The sign of Scorpio rules the genitals and reproductive organs. Scorpios tend to be susceptible to infections of the urinary system. Some may suffer from venereal disease. Fiery and passionate, the volatile emotions of Scorpio can lead to exhaustion and ill health in many cases, so learning how to control extreme emotion is key to a long life.
Tuesday is considered the luckiest day for Scorpio, and the numbers two and four have power for this astrological sun sign. Topaz is sacred to anyone born under the sign of the scorpion as it releases occult powers and brings serenity of mind. It also protects from enemies and illness, making it doubly valuable.
Some other correspondences of Scorpio include:
The colors of passion, including burgundy, crimson, and maroon
Cities such as Liverpool, Newcastle, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C.
Countries such as Algeria, Morocco, Norway, and Tahiti
Trees such as blackthorn and any bushy trees
Flowers such as chrysanthemum and rhododendron
Plutonium (for its connection to the planet Pluto)
Insects and crustaceans
Many of the details associated with Scorpio are connected to regeneration, passion, and emotion. Though full of admirable qualities, Scorpios can evoke anger in others by displaying jealousy, possessiveness, of secretiveness. The fiery and often unreasonable temper of the typical Scorpio can irritate others and drive away potential allies, so Scorpios must guard against this.
Those born between October 23rd and November 21st are born under the sign of Scorpio, the eighth of the sun signs. This sign symbolizes the strongest idealism. Scorpio is the sign of the scorpion, and an individual with this trait tends to express the words "I desire."
The Character of Scorpio
Those influenced by the sign of Scorpio often have extreme personalities. This means a Scorpio is either powerful or weak, clinging or independent, cold or passionate. Either the best or the worst of human nature will be expressed, and expressed vocally and violently. Intensity is woven into the very fiber of this sign.
Scorpios are often misunderstood. If you're a Scorpio, you're likely emotion and magnetic, two characteristics that come together and allow you to exert influence (and often force) on those around you. You are strong to the point of overbearing, but you usually have only the best of intentions. Though you often appear impassive and unapproachable, you have a passionate nature and a deep spiritual strength that is often overlooked.
Unfortunately, you have a destructive side to your character that can harm you and those around you. To keep this at bay you must have an outlet for your passion. Most Scorpios channel this passion into their careers, but some choose love or even a hobby. The important thing is that you have something. Even with this outlet, however, Scorpios live with heightened emotion. This means you might be brooding, resentful, jealous, and even vengeful. On the lighter side, you are dedicated and energetic. You are driven when pursuing a goal and have more endurance than any other sign. You combine these traits as you search for the meaning to your life.
Some Scorpios are philosophical, sometimes even spiritual, and an interest in religion or even the occult often develops. You have an inborn intuition and are blessed with the ability to understand the hearts and minds of others. Most of those born under water signs have psychic abilities, but only fearless Scorpio will delve into the mysteries of the universe.
A natural curiosity drives you to look beneath the surface. There is a quality to your personality that others sometimes lack. your desire to ferret out the details make you great at researching, learning a new language, or understanding a new subject. You love to understand and learn, and will go to great lengths to make this happen.
Scorpio is adaptable and ready for anything. You have the ability to change things in your life at a moment's notice, whether this is a lover, a career, or just the way you arrange your furniture. Sometimes these changes bring you to the brink of disaster, but Scorpio has the unique ability to turn disaster to success.
Too many times astrologers focus on the domineering and destructive aspects of Scorpio. But it's important to remember that Scorpio can also be loving, generous, loyal, and even gentle. Most are idealists who only want the best for those around them, and virtually all Scorpios have an innate desire to adhere to their own high principles.
The Sign of Scorpio and Its Relationship With Others
You love deeply and passionately, but your relationships (romantic and otherwise) tend to be complicated. The real problem is that you can go from generous and affectionate to violent and unpredictable with very little warning. You're a little like the weather, only more impossible to predict. You're loyal to the end, but you can also become jealous and possessive, which ruins some of your better friendships. Things with you are all or nothing, and you're not very tolerant of shortcomings in others.
For good or ill, you never forget and you never forgive. You remember all favors done to you and will repay the when you can, but you'll also wait years to get even. You rather enjoy both extremes, and reeking vengeance is something you enjoy spending your time on. You'd never harm anyone who hasn't hurt you first, but you'll certainly hunt down any transgressors. It is advisable to avoid harming a Scorpio, for most are as deadly as the scorpion that is the symbol of this deadly sign.
You thrive on competition and have to win, but you're careful to conceal this from those you care about. You don't want to damage the pride of anyone without cause, but you can't stomach losing and will file away information for future use. Your impeccable memory helps here.
Your practical and shrewd nature makes you a formidable opponent in business and you are clever with money. You rarely spend more money that you have and you can slowly but surely amass great wealth. You do have a tendency to do things first and announce them later, which can irritate business partners. But this works for you when dealing with an opponent, because by the time he or she is aware of your intentions, it's already done.
Most Scorpios are quite controlling and need to be in charge of any situation. You probably like to be in a position of authority and resent being told what to do. This can be a problem in romantic relationships, but eventually you are able to find someone to love. This takes time, as you don't trust your heart to others easily. But once you do, you love deeply and forever.
Scorpio can be a positive force for good in the world. A true Scorpio is intense and vivid, ruled by passion in every area of your life. If Scorpio were a color, it would be a bright crimson, the color of passion.
The seventh of the sun signs is Libra, and those born between September 23rd and October 22nd are under its influence. Libra can be active, easygoing, artistic, and peaceable, but understanding this complex sun sign takes more than simply looking at a list of traits. The personality of Libra is highly dependent on the details associated with the sign of the scales.
The Libra Personality
The typical Libra is diplomatic and polished, enjoying and encouraging harmony with all around them. A social life is important to those born under this sign. Most Librans prize beauty and actively seek it out. Librais a cardinal, masculine air sign. Masculine signs are outwardly directed and strong through action. Cardinal signs are the initiators of the world, starting projects but only rarely seeing the through to completion. Those born under an air sign are intellectual, creative, and communicate well. These factors come together to create someone who has the need to act, and act quickly. These actions are usually well thought out and measured, but often ideas are abandoned into the hands of others before they can come to fruition.
Libra is ruled by the planet Venus, an ancient goddess of love and beauty. Venus rules the ideas of pleasure , art, adornment, and social pursuits. Its influence over Libra can cause a leaning towards self-indulgence and love of luxury, sometimes at the expense of others. Too much influence by this planet can result in a fickle personality and an inability to commit to a course of action.
The primary symbol of Libra is the scales. These signify balance, equilibrium, justice, and order. The glyph (written symbol) of Libra represents the scale, which exists in perfect balance. This was the ancient symbol for the setting sun and was regarded as a doorway between two worlds. The glyph is a crescent moon connected to two straight lines resting above a third line. This represents emotions bounded on either side by reasons. The line below symbolizes partnership and balance.
The Correspondences of Libra
The sign of Libra rules the lower back, the kidneys, and the buttocks. Librans tend to suffer from lower back strain and problems in the lumbar region. They can also be prone to kidney or bowel infections. Muscle strain is common, but this can usually be handled with common relaxation techniques.
Friday is considered a lucky day for Libra, and the numbers six and nine are special to most people born under this sign. Opal is associated with Libra because it grants clear insight. This stone also brings financial success, eliminates jealousy, and limits greed. The colors or romance, harmony, and refinement are usually connected to this sign.
Some other correspondences of Libra include:
The colors blue and lavender
Cities such as Charleston, Copenhagen, Lisbon, and Vienna
Countries such as Argentina, Burma, China, Japan, and Tibet
Trees such as almond, ash, and cypress
Flowers such as cosmos, hydrangeas, and rose
Copper and compound metals containing copper
Snakes and lizards
Many of the details associated with Libra are connected to the ideas of balance and harmony. These are admirable qualities, but Librans do have their darker side. Those born under the sign of Libra tend to stir up negative emotions in others in situations relating to love. They are indecisive and often make a declaration of love too quickly, taking it back far too late. This angers and disappoints lovers and potential lovers. Librans also have a tendency to be fickle and faithless and should guard against committing too soon.
