Sun Signs and Love: Attracting a Leo

Leos are not all that hard to attract if you know what you're doing. A true Leo loves compliments and praise. They need these things and never think a compliment is insincere or too much. If you show attention and admiration to a Leo, they will take notice. But be careful of their feelings. If you fake your admiration, they won't necessarily notice right away, but eventually they may. And if they realize your admiration was fake, nothing more than a ploy, they will definitely take it personally.

You can win a Leo over with more than just praise. They're not completely shallow. Try being funny. Leos are the kings and queens of the world, and like all royalty they enjoy entertainment. They also have a better sense of humor than most signs, so make them laugh. That they will remember.

The perfect date for a Leo can vary widely, but if you're looking for a surefire hit, try a cultural event. This will be especially successful if the event is a preview for another event of some kind. Leos love this kind of thing. Look for art gallery openings, advance movie screenings, or even a book signing followed by a reading. If you can pinpoint an author a Leo loves, all the better. Leo loves the complex and high brow, so see what's out there.

Leos love a posh ambiance. It's not about money, it's about how it feels. If it feels like it's for the elite, they'll love it. You don't have to break the bank, you just have to impress. Make that special cake. Go to that new restaurant. You'll both enjoy it.

Ultimately, Leo can make a great partner. Just adore as you would wish to be adored.

The Sun Signs and Love: The Leo Man

Leo burns brightly, but can also burn out. A Leo man may fall in love easily enough, but he may find it tricky to stay in love. He falls out of love just as easily as he fell into it in the first place. Lasting relationships aren't always easy for a Leo man.

But don't think that he is at all casual about love. Love for a Leo man is passion and drama. He is all in all of the time. Love is never a minor thing to him and it's never on the back burner. Of all the signs, a Leo will make you truly believe you are his first and only love. You two are meant to be. And he isn't lying or manipulating you. He believes it passionately. He is well and truly in love.

The woman who wins his heart is the very center of his existence. She is his all. To have a Leo man love you is like nothing else. Everything is love and light and passion. But just as quickly as it comes, it goes. Leo is done. He is no longer in love and ready to move on. He may not explain why he's done, but that's usually because he doesn't know himself. He just knows that the spark is gone, and so is he.

Very often, the Leo man falls in love with the idea of love. Love is a mythological creature to him, not easily defined, not easily found. He may think he has found it, but it's not an easy task for a Leo. He's really searching for that elusive woman who is passionate and adoring, yes, but also completely fulfilled by him. He wants her entire existence to revolve around him as his does around her. This is not an easy thing to find, so when his fantasy falls apart, he's out the door.

Leo is searching for a partner to cater to his every whim, his every demand, but he doesn't see himself as demanding. He is open and caring and trusting. How could he be demanding? Doesn't his partner want to please him? He wants to please her. For him, it really is that simple.

If he sounds self absorbed, it's because he is. A little, anyway. But his bluster and fire conceal a sensitivity and vulnerability that needs reassurance from a romantic partner. He also needs praise, he needs to know he's wanted and needed. If he doesn't feel these things, it won't be long before he falls out of love completely.

Sexually, he's not all that adventurous. He sticks with what works. Pleasure for both parties is important to him, so he doesn't deviate once he's found a winning formula. He may be a cautious lover, but he will never leave his partner unsatisfied. He will forever be loving and caring...at least as long as you can hold him.

When he feels wanted and needed, the Leo man will be cheerful, affectionate, and caring beyond belief. He will be strong, generous, and kind with his romantic partner. He'll buy her the perfect gifts, take her to the best restaurants, and generally adore her if she adores him.

And somewhere along the way, if he's lucky, a woman will come along who will snag him for good. She will manage to redirect his flamboyant personality, to contain it, and to teach him that he doesn't need to be admired and exalted every moment of every day.

Sun Signs and Love: The Leo Woman

A Leo in love can be tricky to navigate. She wants praise most of all, so compliment her and don't mention her flaws. She prefers you focus on the good and pretend the bad doesn't exist. If you're just getting started in the relationship, be prepared to pile it on. Leo has the need to be marvelous, to shine brighter than anyone else, and you'll have to accommodate her. At least at first. Once you have captured her interest, the relationship can evolve, but at first it will be all about her.

If you're hoping to make a relationship work with a Leo woman, don't even think about looking at another. She hates competition because she hates to lose, so if you want to keep her, don't make her feel like she has a rival for your attentions. But, because she is a Leo, she needs a little more freedom, at least at the beginning. If you can't go with her to the club on Friday, expect her to find someone else who can. This doesn't mean she doesn't want a relationship with you. It simply means that she is going to the club and she's not going alone.

All of this may make her sound self-centered, but she's not. It's more that she's constantly moving toward finding herself, toward the ultimate self-realization. She knows she was born to be someone special, and she is ever in search of her destiny. Being a fiery Leo, part of her destiny is to find true and passionate love.

When she finds it, she gives herself to her chosen mate thoroughly and without reservation. She will not be outdone, so don't try to match her passion. But do give her all of your love. Anything else is unacceptable. If you do this, you will find a warm and sensuous creature at your side for life.

The Leo woman loves to be in a steady and loving relationship, but it can sometimes be hard living with her. She is the queen of the sun signs, after all, and she expects to be treated that way. When matched with the wrong mate, the Leo woman can become an overbearing tyrant, but this relationship is doomed to failure. Though Leo may be temporarily appeased by being in complete control, she will eventually become bitter and dissatisfied.

So the queen needs a king. Someone who can stand up to her but still make her feel like royalty. She needs affection and admiration, but she also needs a challenge or she'll become bored. For her, the perfect relationship will last forever, but the wrong match will end in a blaze the will shock even her. But for the right mate, she's a jewel that should be treasured for she is truly an extraordinary woman.

Sun Signs and Love: Attracting a Cancer

If there is one thing you should know about someone born under the sun sign of Cancer, it is that they are vulnerable to both praise and criticism. If you want to catch and hold a Cancerian, let him or her know just how much you appreciate and admire them. Do this in a direct manner, for Cancer will come out of his or her shell that much faster if you are forthright in your words and deeds. But don't be insincere. Cancer can spot a fake a mile off, and they don't like it.

Attracting a Cancerian can be done simply by showing your gentler side. If you love pets or children, start there. You can also try revealing your intelligence and interest in the world by having a real discussion about politics, finances, or charities. If you have a problem in your life, give your Cancer friend a chance to show tour his or her best side by sharing. They love to share their powers of empathy and problem solving, so share away, but only if you actually want constructive advice.

If you're the one planning a date with a Cancer man or woman, try the theater or perhaps a cultural event if there's one nearby. A concert may also be appropriate, or the ballet or opera depending on the exactly tastes of the person involved. Perhaps an event with a strong melody, even of its just a restaurant with live music, might be a good choice.

Tread carefully in the beginning. Cancerians are vulnerable and easily scared off at first. They also aren't very good at forgiving and forgetting, at least in the early stages of a relationship. You'll need to build some trust before you can make too many mistakes, so take it slow

And don't worry, you won't be the only one taking it slow. A true Cancer woman or man won't be rushing things. Until he or she is certain their own advances will be welcome, expect some skittishness. But if their hesitation lasts too long, the relationship might not be going anywhere.

In the end, a good, solid relationship with a Cancer is worth the effort. Trust and be worthy of trust and you just might find romance.

Sun Signs and Love: The Cancer Man

A man born under the sun sign of Cancer is incredibly sensual, and willing to let you know that he's sensual, but he'll almost never come at you directly. Though he'll happily play the attentive lover, he'll also make sure to leave himself a way out. Not because he can't commit, but because he's quite afraid of rejection. He falls in love so easily that he must take measures to protect himself.

Despite this, Cancer is both a romantic and a daydreamer. Blessed with a powerful sensory memory, he can and will get lost in the romance of a situation. His imagination knows no bounds and he is endlessly creative. Unfortunately, this cuts both ways. When he gets jealous, his imagination can jump right into overdrive. If he suspects his chosen mate is unfaithful, expect him to practically lose his mind. He is so faithful that dishonesty in love hurts him deeply and threatens the stability and security he so desperately needs.

The Cancer male is incredibly affectionate and spontaneous. Sex is best when it happens without any advance planning, though this man is loving enough to adapt if his mate needs a little more warning. He is attentive and dedicated, not needed many mates, but the one perfect mate.

This man will go to almost any length to please his chosen mate. He will make you laugh, spoil you outrageously, or do anything else to keep a smile on your face. His natural ability to understand the human heart allows him to feel your problems before you voice them, giving him a leg up when it comes to dealing with pain and heartache.

Perhaps most important to Cancer is having a mate who shares his hopes and dreams of the future. If he withdraws from such a relationship at a later date, it's probably because those hopes and dreams have changed, making him incompatible with his mate. If he does leave, however, he does it quietly and with grace.

Truly a man's man, but not in a rugged sense, this gentle sun sign has a deep inner strength and a great need to protect his family. He will not let you down, instead ensuring you are well loved and taken care of. He will be a devoted mate--provided you return the favor.

Sun Signs and Love: The Cancer Woman

On the surface, the Cancer woman might seem composed and even...well, perfect. But she has hidden depths to her. She can be shy and sweet at first, then later become sensual and even erotic. But it takes the right kind of love to get there, so you'll have to give of yourself first if you want to unlock the true nature of the Cancer woman.

Because she is naturally shy, don't expect her to make the first move. She isn't at all forward, but she will give you subtle hints that could lead to a substantial relationship. But pay attention, because if you miss her unspoken invitation you might lose her entirely.

As a water sign, she values trust above all. While she is cautious about giving her heart to another, once she does she is unwavering in her loyalty and gives her trust unabashedly. If you love her, trust her, and make her feel secure, she will be yours forever. If you violate the trust she has given you, she may never truly forgive you. In her head, perhaps, but never really in her heart. So tread carefully if you value her presence in your life.

The Cancer woman may come across as a little old-fashioned, but only because she is old-fashioned. She has an independent streak, true, but she also longs to be sheltered and protected, which is one of the many qualities that draws others to her. As a woman, she desires romance, and as a Cancer she wants you to take the lead in that romance, so don't wait around for her to plan a romantic night out. Do the planning and she'll be far more receptive towards you.

Though you might call her the quintessential woman, she has depths that will take years to discover. Appreciate her for the affectionate, sympathetic, and imaginative woman she is and she'll give you all she has to offer.

Sun Signs and Love: Attracting a Gemini

Gemini likes to be impressed, so show off your knowledge of a subject you're passionate about. The typical Gemini tends to know a little about everything, so conversation will likely ensue. Just make sure you know what you're talking about. Gemini doesn't appreciate a faker.

Be candid and honest, for that's what Gemini is after, but beware of appearing smug and try not to come off as too conservative. Both are turnoffs for the sensitive Gemini. And don't worry if you disagree. A good exchange is a good exchange, and Gemini recognizes this.

Though intellectual conversation is appreciated, Gemini also likes to engage in gossip, especially if there's an element of humor in it. Focus on making him or her laugh, not on being malicious, and you'll have a captive audience.

Remember that Gemini is looking for an aura of mutual trust. Don't give him or her a reason to mistrust you, and don't approach a Gemini with a suspicious attitude. Trust is important to this sun sign, so make sure you respect that.

If you're looking for a gift for a Gemini, try books, puzzles, or anything that stimulates the mind. Flowers and such could be wasted on this more intellectual astrological sign.

Sun Signs and Love: The Gemini Man

Vivacious, quick-witted, and filled with a lust for life, the Gemini male draws women (or men, possibly) to him with practiced ease. His charm, generosity, and fertile imagination make a date with him exciting and oftentimes romantic. Though many women are drawn to him, few will stay in his life for longer than a night or two. He's notoriously hard to pin down, and trying will only drive him away all the faster.

He might come off as a womanizer, but he's really anything but. The Gemini man really and truly loves women and he pays attention to what they have to say. This is a great part of his success in the romance department. But, like most Gemini, he needs fun and excitement in his life. He'll flee any relationship that doesn't give him the fun he needs. Because all relationships have their lulls, and he tends to be impatient, he does have a tendency to run away from a relationship that would ultimately have made him happy. Such is the nature of Gemini.

But that isn't the only reason he tends to run off without much notice. He's a little uncomfortable with love as an emotion (though as an action...well, sign him up!), so a woman who takes love too seriously is a turn off for him. Though they are initially attracted to women with a flare for the dramatic, mostly because these women appear more fun on the surface, he usually loses interest before too long.

And yet, he is not a true womanizer. The reason he runs from one female to the next is because he really is searching for a woman to spend the rest of his life with. Remember that Gemini is the sign of the twins, so he's truly searching for his spiritual and romantic twin. He knows she's out there. He just hasn't found her yet. When he does, he will never leave her side.

In bed he is imaginative, confident, and has a great deal of flair, but his lover may get the impression that he is not fully committed. His attention may wander, even in the throes of great sex, but this is simply a part of his nature. It doesn't mean he's straying. It usually means he's thinking of something exciting and fun to do next.

A fascinating person, the true Gemini man tends to flit through life and romance with hardly a care. Still, even those he rejects love him, for he is a joy to know. Even if you only know him for a short time.

Sun Signs and Love: The Gemini Woman

A Gemini woman is full of contradictions. She is passionate lover one moment, a careful friend the next. She needs to be coddled, but she also needs to exert her independence. Her love affairs tend to be of a more casual nature, but she is fiercely loyal when she does finally commit. One moment she will be seated next to a roaring fire, enjoying the peace, and the next she'll be running around in search of novel stimulation and excitement. It can be hard to keep up, harder still to figure her out.

She finds most men (or women, depending on her preference) dull, but this merely means she has a fine appreciation for a more interesting companion. If you want to attract her, you'll have to work at it. Don't expect her to stay around otherwise. Gemini, in fact, is a contrary sign, so the Gemini woman will flee as soon as the relationship becomes stale. She'll leave with no second thoughts. This sign excels at moving on.

Because Gemini is capricious and changeable, is she not easily satisfied. To keep her content and present, her companion will have to work to satisfy her on all levels--emotionally, mentally, and sexually. This is a tall order, especially when she seeks great variety in her life.  If you can give her what she needs, she will be a faithful and devoted companion. If you can't, she'll flee and never look back.

All of this might make her sound high maintenance, and she is, but a Gemini is always worth the effort. She is a quick learner and is blessed with endless curiosity, which means she's willing to try just about anything once. She'll go skydiving, train for a marathon, or try something new in the bedroom all because she's never done it before. She loves excitement, so if you do too you might do well with a Gemini woman.

If you are going to try a relationship with a Gemini woman, don't take what she says at face value. There's always another motive behind her words, even if she doesn't realize it at the time. She's not deceitful, just...contrary.

Beneath it all lies a woman who is solid and faithful to the man (or woman) who finally captures her heart. She gives endlessly of herself to the right man, but she demands everything in return. Expect her to be possessive and even jealous when the situation calls for it, but only because she expects her love to be returned wholeheartedly.

The true Gemini woman is intelligent, exciting, vibrant, tempestuous, and incredibly witty. She is a lot to handle for most, but just enough for the right man.

Sun Signs and Love: Attracting a Taurus

You cannot rush a Taurus, so if you're hoping to attract this practical sign on a romantic level, be prepared to wait. They will not rush headlong into a new relationship, romantic or otherwise, but instead take the time to build a strong foundation before committing. This 'building' will take time and often requires patience, but Taurus will appreciate you all the more for waiting.

Taurus is often slow to make up his or her mind. Because of this, the first move may be entirely up to you. If you wait, if you simply sit around waiting for Taurus to take the lead, you may end up missing the opportunity entirely. Don't be afraid to pursue Taurus, but be prepared to do so slowly.

To keep a Taurus interested show him or her that you like to be around them. Don't blow them off, especially in the beginning of the relationship, or Taurus will quickly dismiss you as unreliable and move on to someone new. When you are with Taurus, try to be amusing, for Taurus responds best to those who can make them laugh. Remember that anyone born under the sun sign Taurus will have a broad and robust sense of humor. Physical jokes are most likely to make them laugh, but they respond to most types of humor. Take a risk and try to be funny if you want to keep Taurus interested.

The Taurus man, like the Taurus woman, enjoys a good meal. Feed either gender well by either cooking at home or dining at a decent restaurant. Don't expect Taurus to be satisfied with a fast food joint. They'll expect a place where the chef knows what he's doing and the wine list offers a decent selection. If you decide to cook for Taurus, show that you can handle yourself in the kitchen and don't hold back on the portions.

Taurus typically finds many things fascinating, so it shouldn't be hard to hold a conversation. But if you find the conversation lagging, try talking about money. Most individuals born under this sign can talk about money and finances for hours, so at least there will be conversation. And while Taurus loves to hear from others, make sure you don't monopolize the conversation. Taurus likes to share as well, so give them that opportunity.

Finally, it's important to offer compliments to the true Taurus, but they must be genuine. Taurus can see through falsehood with ease and they do not appreciate it. So praise their hair, jewelry, or clothing, by all means, but make sure the words coming out of your mouth are full of honesty.

A relationship with the patient Taurus is typically stable and steady. Though they are perhaps not the most inventive of people, they are always there for those they love and their love runs deep. Once a Taurus is committed, it takes a great deal of strive to drive him or her away, so a relationship with Taurus can last a lifetime.

Sun Signs and Love: The Taurus Man

Taurus is the sign of practicality, so it should come as no surprise that the Taurus man is entirely sensible, even in love. He won't necessarily sweep you off your feet, but only because the idea wouldn't occur to him. The Taurus male is very deliberate in his search for love. He's looking for the woman who can satisfy him for eternity, not the flavor of the month. Patience is natural for him, so he's certainly willing to wait. You won't see the true Taurus man jumping into a relationship without looking.

If he's rejected by another, expect him to hide it well. He'll feel the rebuff acutely, however, and won't likely give that person another chance to hurt him. This sun sign is also an incurable romantic, just like the Taurus woman, so he'll treat his partner well and love her (or him) for who they really are. Unlike some of the other signs, Taurus has no illusions. He won't put his partner on a pedestal, but he will cherish her.

If you're in a romantic relationship with a Taurus male, don't expect him to say "I love you" very often. Taurus is not a verbal sun sign. Instead he'll show his love with his unending generosity. Expect gifts, but practical ones, for he values the money he spends. This doesn't mean he won't give you jewelry. It does mean he'd rather save up for a truly nice necklace than get you a trinket from the pharmacy.

Though Taurus may seem reserved, he really has quite a passionate nature. He enjoys his sex life and is direct about his needs. Don't expect a lot of variation, however, for Taurus likes it simple. Don't worry, though. His vitality and stamina more than make up for his lack of creativity in the bedroom.

This sign is one you can depend on, so expect a romantic relationship with Taurus to be practical, affectionate, and highly sensual. The Taurus male won't ever let you down because his own stubborn nature won't let him.

Sun Signs and Love: The Taurus Woman

If you want sensuality and stability rolled up in a single package, look no further than the Taurus female. She is the Aphrodite of the sun signs, but she is not at all promiscuous. Anyone looking for a one night stand should definitely seek elsewhere. The Taurus woman may be the very soul of sensuality, but she's looking for stability above all else. If you're not going to offer her that, expect her to drop you like a hot potato.

Being in love brings out the very best qualities in her. She is protective and nurturing, passionate and caring, earthy and devoted. She is straightforward and affectionate, but never coy. She is also lusty in bed and secure enough in her own judgment to never give credence to rumors. A true prize for any man.

A Taurus woman has a lot to offer, but she also demands much in return. She expects to get out of a relationship what she put in, so if a man isn't interested in being full partners he'd better search elsewhere for a mate.

Expect this woman to have plans of her own, plans that she won't necessarily share. A true Taurus lady never leaves such matters as love and sex to chance. It will all be planned down to the smallest detail, and the plan always goes off without a hitch. And usually this all happens without her mate ever knowing there was a plan in the first place.

The Taurus woman is the most romantic in the zodiac. She is serene, elegant, and sexy. Some may find her a little boring with her ruthless adherence to plans and rules, but the person who attracts her should count himself (or herself) blessed.

Sun Signs and Love: Attracting an Aries

If you're hoping to attract an Aries romantically, be prepared to seize the opportunity. The fiery Aries doesn't appreciate timidity. If you're attracted to an Aries, let him or her know immediately. Don't worry about appearing too forward. For an Aries, a compliment is always well received and even expected. But since this sign is famous for its ability to spot insincerity, make sure you're honest about your attraction. Laying it on too thick is one of the fastest ways to lose an Aries.

As fiery and physical as Aries usually is, they need more than physical attraction to enter into a relationship. They enjoy lively discussions and debates, so a dinner and a movie may not necessarily be the best first date. Consider something involving the theater, music, art,, history, culture, or even a sporting event if your Aries is interested in sports. If you don't know much about the subject matter, let knowledgeable Aries explain it to you. An Aries has the ability to make these explanations fun an exciting.

If you're going to date an Aries, rest up. They don't really watch the clock and continue the fun until the fun wears off. This can make for some late nights. Aries also tends to gain more energy as the evening wears on. The term 'second wind' definitely applies. In fact, expect Aries to have a 'third wind' and maybe even a 'fourth wind'. And they'll expect any romantic partner to keep up.

Aries is a problem solver in the take-the-bull-by-the-horns kind of way. This means that they welcome the opportunity to offer advice. And unlike some of the more flighty signs (Aquarius comes immediately to mind), the advice from an Aries is usually quite practical. They're also incredibly generous with their time, advice, and even money, so a typical Aries can not only offer a solution but help execute it. This can come in handy, so don't be afraid to go to Aries for help even if you're at the very beginning of your relationship.

A relationship with Aries can be fun, exciting, and entertaining, but there's also a welcome practical side to the relationship. Just don't try to dictate to a true Aries. They'd don't appreciate it. In fact, Aries even has trouble following orders they want to follow. If you're willing to let powerful Aries take the lead, a romantic relationship with this sun sign can work in your favor.

Sun Signs and Love: The Aries Man

The Aries man is full of fiery emotions. In fact, he has few other kinds of emotions; every one of them blazes bright and hot. He has an adventurous nature and is always on the lookout for excitement. And it finds him. Or he finds it. Either way, life around an Aries male is rarely boring.

In love he is both aggressive and attentive. He's hard to say no to, and most don't want to. Virile and attractive, he works to keep things original. As exciting as an affair with the blazing Aries might be, these affairs are usually depressingly brief. Aries likes novelty and change, so expect him to flit from relationship to relationship.

At first. There is a deeper side to an Aries man than is immediately apparent. He's actually on the lookout for the perfect woman, his perfect mate. This man will keep prowling until he finds her, and keep discarding those who don't measure up to his ideal. When he finds his mate, he will devote himself to her with all the fierceness Aries is known for. But he can't stand deception and if he finds he has been taken advantage of, he'll bypass being hurt and move straight to anger. Beware an angry Aries.

Aries, as the first of the sun signs, cannot take a passive role in love. He will run the show both in the bedroom and outside of it. He simply cannot bear to leave the decisions to another and that will not change easily, if at all. Fortunately he's upfront about this from the beginning. Aries is blunt and to the point, so he won't pretend to allow another to control him. He's refreshingly honest in a forceful sort of way.

He's also incredibly rash, almost to the point of having no control over his raging emotions. If he wants you, he wants you. If he loves you, he loves you. And this man will go to the ends of the earth to attain what he wants, what he loves. He doesn't worry about the consequences, even though you might. He occasionally needs reigning in, and this is no easy task.

A relationship with an Aries man will be full of energy, excitement, and magnetism. No matter how long it lasts, it's sure to be a time full of passion and adventure.

Sun Signs and Love: The Aries Woman

Intensity is at the very core of an Aries woman. She is exciting in love and can be forceful, independent, and...well, imagine putting a match to a stack of dry kindling. The result could easily be the nature of an Aries woman in love. She is fiery, sensual, active, unpredictable, and utterly fascinating.

And she is domineering. When it comes to love, it is her way or the highway. What an Aries woman wants, she eventually gets. When she meets a man (or a woman) she wants, she'll stop at nothing to have him. And though she needs love, she will never allow a man (or anyone else) to dominate her. She gives exactly what she gets, so if she get loyalty, she gives loyalty. If she is met with deception...let's just say no one can match an Aries woman when it comes to this particular game. She will always come out on top.

An Aries woman can be jealous, but only because she doesn't share well. She wants all of her lover, and sharing him just won't happen. Her jealousy isn't the result of insecurity, but is merely a reflection of the position she must have in a romantic relationship. In other words, she must be the first priority, not the last. Anything else will drive her away.

If you want a one night stand, don't bother with an Aries woman. She is looking to find happiness in a long term relationship. Though highly affectionate and sentimental, she won't let these qualities show at first. You have to tease it out of her, but once you do, once you get her to let you in, she will be a lifelong friend and lover. Her ambitions know no bounds, making her the perfect companion for someone with equally high ambitions.

She will not tolerate neglect. This might make her seem a little demanding, and she is, but only because she wants a fulfilling relationship, not one where she never sees her lover. Be prepared to dedicate a fair amount of time to an Aries woman.

Above all, the Aries woman wants to be understood and appreciated. She likes to be admired. If you can give her what she needs, the Aries woman will do anything you ask.

The Astrological Sun Signs: The Details of Pisces

The twelfth and final of the sun signs is Pisces, and those born between February 19th and March 20th are under its influence. Pisceans are romantic, imaginative, and adaptable, but they are also highly unpredictable. Pisces is a complex sign, so understanding it means looking at the little details that make up this astrological sun sign.

 

The Pisces Personality

 

Most Pisceans are mystical, intuitive, receptive, and impressionable. Sometimes too impressionable. If you're a Pisces, you may find that you have a hard time saying 'no' to people, even when they're asking too much of you. The emotional side of you wants to help, regardless of personal cost. This means you often get yourself into undesirable situations. Luckily, your imagination and intuition come together to extract you just as quickly.

 

Pisces is rules by the planet Neptune. In ancient mythology, Neptune was the god of the sea. The sea is mysterious and deceptive, giving most Pisceans these traits as well. Neptune is the planet of glamour and illusion, so those born under the influence of this planet are quite good at appearing to be other than they are. This means that a true Pisces can adapt to any situation and rarely appears out of place.

 

The symbol of Pisces is two fish which are tied together while swimming in opposite directions. This somewhat contrary symbol signifies shifting emotional currents, conflicting desires, and extremes. Pisces tend to move from one extreme to the other with disturbing fluidity and without giving much advanced notice of the shift. This can confound friends and family, but it is simply the nature of Pisces. The fish also symbolize hidden depths, and many Pisces are indeed deep people who can be a pleasure and a pain to fully explore.

 

The glyph, or written symbol, of Pisces represents the two fish. This glyph is two crescent moons connected by a straight line, which is what connects one fish to the other. It can also be seen as human feet, which is the part of the human body that Pisces is most closely associated with. Either way, the glyph represents emotion and higher consciousness, but these things are tied to and limited by the material world. These limitations are accepted graciously by the typical Pisces.

 

The Correspondences of Pisces

 

The sign of Pisces rules the feet. Because of this, Pisceans may have lovely feet and toes, but these feet tend to be plagued by aches, bunions, corns, and heightened sensitivity. Good shoes are important and can help alleviate some of these problems.

 

Friday is considered the luckiest day for the average Pisces, and the numbers two and six tend to hold the most power. Aquamarine, a stone that enhances occult powers and brings serenity to the mind, is connected to the sign of the fish. This semi-precious stone is connected to the sea and is often worn for protection by those traveling on or over bodies of water.

 

Some other correspondences include:

• Pale green, turquoise, and other colors associated with the dreamier qualities of the sea
• Cities such as Alexandria, Casablanca, Dublin, Lisbon, and Seville
• Countries such as Portugal and the areas in and around the Sahara Desert
• Fig and willow trees
• Flowers such as jonquil, water lily, and white poppy
• Platinum
• All fish and other sea-dwelling creatures

Many of the defining qualities of Pisces are connected in some way to emotion or intuition. These are great qualities to have, but because Pisceans are easily influenced by others, peer pressure can be hard to handle. Many born under this sign experiment with drugs or alcohol only because friends or other acquaintances encourages them to do so. Pisceans are also drawn to the unpredictable and unbalanced, and this often lands them in trouble throughout their entire lives. Still, it's not usually serious trouble, and they can usually extract themselves without too much difficulty.

The Astrological Sun Signs: The Personality of Pisces

Those born between February 19th and March 20th are born under the sign of Pisces, the twelfth and final of the sun signs in western astrology. This compassionate sign represents reincarnation and eternity. Pisces is the sign of the fish and individuals with the fish as a ruler tend to express themselves through the words "I believe."


The Character of Pisces


Pisceans have a strong connection to the spirit world, giving them an otherworldly quality that the other signs sometimes lack. If you want to get mystical about it, those born under this sign can be described as having one foot in the spirit world. If you are a Pisces you may find yourself torn between the necessity of the physical world and the attraction of more spiritual concerns. Because of this, you tend to split your focus.


Like the other water signs, you are deeply attracted to the depth of information hidden in the human psyche. You are generally intuitive and have strong ties to prophecy and the occult. When a Pisces gets a hunch, it's often right, or at least very close. This is especially true of hunches involving time.


Of all the signs, Pisces is the one most likely to inadvertently engineer their own downfall. Impracticality is a way of life for you, so falling prey to overindulgence happens far too often. Combine this trait with your penchant for hanging out with all the wrong people, people who may prey on your good nature, and you often get yourself into trouble. The good news is you recognize this. The bad news is that you're not very good at escaping trouble on your own. You are naturally conflicted about how to solve problems, so conflicted that you tend to stagnate and do nothing. You can overcome this trait, however, with determination and by making a decision and sticking to it.


At your core, you're likely unsure of yourself. Because of this, you tend to look for the easiest and fastest way out of any situation. Sometimes this works for you. Other times it really doesn't. Finding the right solution, instead of the easiest one, is difficult for those born under this sign.


Pisces and Its Relationship With Others


Pisces is ruled by the most elusive of all planets, the mysterious Neptune. This makes you difficult to pin down, giving you a reputation for avoiding commitment. You flow like the sea your sign is ruled by, and you are highly influenced by your surroundings, including people. You tend to absorb the feelings of others, so if your friend is sorrowful, so are you. This empathy is a powerful gift, but you tend to take it to extremes. This can annoy others around you, especially when it comes to sorrow and grief.


Your intuition and empathy are unmatched, but this sometimes creates more problems than it solves. You can be too impressionable, too easily swayed, and you don't like to say no. Pisces tend to fall in with the wrong crowd, not through any design, but through a series of apparent accidents. Learning to avoid this and refuse to engage when you shouldn't tends to take a lifetime, with many Pisceans never mastering this ability.


When it comes to your career, things can get dicey. Most Pisceans are not suited for office jobs, and the world of business and high finance can be overwhelming. This is not to say that all Pisceans must avoid these careers, but most would do better in a more independent career. Some will choose to be artists, musicians, or even writers. Others will decide an entrepreneurial path will suit them best. Some become truck drivers, or couriers, or any other job that allows them to be alone most of the time, or at least some of the time. Pisceans tend to make good librarians and archivists as well. Independence is key for the true Piscean, so any job that allows for it can suit.


Loyal, generous, and naturally kind, Pisceans tend not to be concerned with the superficial. If you are a Pisces, you are likely a good friend who looks to make deep and lasting connections with people.

The Astrological Sun Signs: The Details of Aquarius

The eleventh of the sun signs is Aquarius, and those born between January 20th and February 18th are under its influence. Aquarians are independent, analytical, and original. They have strong dislikes and set opinions. To truly understand this sign, you must understand the detail commonly associated with the astrological sun sign of Aquarius.

 

The Aquarius Personality

 

Most Aquarians are assertive, progressive, and inventive in many aspects of their lives. If you are an Aquarius, you are likely blessed (or plagued, as the case may be) by wishes, hopes, and dreams. You are probably a little too idealistic, and this can cause you to be disappointed in humanity at times. Despite this, you have a love of people, though more in an abstract sense. You tend to remain a little detached in your own relationships, probably because you are too focused on the larger issues of the world.

 

Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus. The first ruler of the universe was Uranus, Greek god of the sky. This gives Aquarius an appreciation for the bigger picture. Uranus was also the first of the modern planets to be discovered, and is so connected to change and the unexpected. It is the planet of invention, and of the marrying of science with sorcery. This tends to describe most Aquarians fairly well.

 

The symbol of the sign of Aquarius is the waterbearer. The waterbearer gives a gift that flows freely and without restraint. This represents the creation and giving of life. Aquarians are in tune with this concept and willingly give of themselves. But, like the waterbearer, they are too detached from the intricacies of life to truly understand them.

 

The glyph, or written symbol, of Aquarius are two ridged unbroken lines, one above the other. This represents the water which flows from the container the waterbearer holds. The lines are symbolic of electric energy, universal thought, and the great wisdom to be found in the future. All these things the true Aquarius understands.

 

The Correspondences of Aquarius

 

The sign of Aquarius rules the circulatory system, the shins, and the ankles. Because of this, Aquarians are prone to injuries of the ankle, especially breaks and sprains. The shins may develop varicose veins, and hardening of the arteries tends to be more common in those born under the sign of Aquarius.

 

Wednesday is considered the luckiest day for Aquarians, and the numbers one and seven tend to be the most powerful. Amethyst, a stone that brings faithfulness in love and grants prescience, is most commonly associated with the sign of the waterbearer.

 

Some other correspondences include:

• Electric blue, or the clear blue of the sky
• Cities such as Buenos Airies, Moscow, Salzburg, and Stockholm
• Countries such as Ethiopia, Russia, and Sweden
• All fruit trees
• Flowers such as the orchid
• Uranium and other radioactive metals
• Large birds

Many of the ideas associated with Aquarius revolve around intelligence and originality. Those born under this sign can be innovation, unconventional, and even eccentric. This makes them a target for the narrow-minded. Because Aquarians are a little...different...they tend to get themselves into unusual situations and associate with strange individuals. This sometimes means they need help to get themselves out of whatever they got themselves into. Close friendships, while sometimes difficult for an Aquarian to maintain, can be beneficial for connecting to the world on a personal level. Also, it never hurts to have a good friend to pull you out of a slightly odd situation.

The Astrological Sun Signs: The Personality of Aquarius

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 Astrological Sun Signs: The Details of Capricorn

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.
