Zodiac Signs and Meanings

Do you know that your zodiac signs meanings can give you away like a mirror, even if you hate to accept this fact? Did you know, that your daily mannerisms and social lifestyle can help any knowledgeable person, to guess your astrological sign with good accuracy? I know, I have lost the skeptics by now. For those of you still reading this article, I will try my best to give you the best round up of the twelve zodiac signs and meanings in astrology. I will explain you the zodiac sign meanings, all the way from Aries to Pisces.

Aries Zodiac Sign Meaning - March 21st to April 19th
Symbolized by a ram, this sign is totally ram headed. Yup, they are butting horns, every chance they get. This zodiac sign is ruled by the fierce warlike Mars and belongs to the fire family. Being the first baby in the zodiac wheel of karma, Aries people are self absorbed babies, even in their twilight years. Try it, ignore your Aries child and he'll reach decibels that you didn't even know you could hear. All fire's seek freedom and Aries seeks freedom of action. He'll be the first to start digging for a well in Atacama desert, also the first to leave it half way when somethings else catches his fancy. He is forthright, headstrong and impulsive. He loves to be surrounded by people, and being a Cardinal sign, exalts in inspiring others to take up long dead, fruitless causes with full faith and optimism. They get along well with other 'underdog champions' like Scorpio, Leo, Libra and Gemini.

Taurus Zodiac Sign Meaning - April 20th to May 19th
Taurus people are big and burly and often well muscled, just like their mascots, the bulls. They are also grounded and practical (that's when they are not tail high, feet stomping, blood eyed angry) and possess a good stamina of both mind and spirit. These Venus ruled people are blessed with love and romance and are mostly just content to simply be. Taurus always accumulates things, material things (yes, girls, this is the one you've all been looking for) - money, villas and wines. Taurus usually comes from the orthodox side of life, so all the feminist females (I am talking to you Aries, Leo and Sagittarius females), I am warning you to steer clear, unless you're willing to change yourself elementally, to become a wallflower 'hausfrau'. Taurus falls in the Earth family, which imparts it with good grounded wisdom and smart investment ideas that can grow off the fertile lands. This fixed sign is also endowed with good organizational and maintenance skills. Taurus loves his den, and you can rest assured that after all his million dollar deals, he will come home to his pet dog and warm blanket (and you of course). These stubborn bulls make for best pals with those born under Libra, Scorpio and Capricorn.

Gemini Zodiac Sign Meaning - May 20th to June 20th
Giving a zodiac sign meaning for Gemini is very difficult, as it is not one but two people residing together in one mind and body (something like Gollum from Lord of the Rings). Symbolized by the twins, this air sign is smart, savvy and alert. Gemini is the prankster of the entire zodiac wheel and keeps in line with his mercurial linage by being sharp, fleeting, witty and mercurial (translated to temporary). There is nothing constant about Gemini and least of all opinions, they change as frequently as the Gemini girls change their clothes. Believe me, this is not an exaggeration. Gemini is good with multitasking and if you spot one person talking simultaneously on two phones, tag him down to be a Gemini. These party people keep up with the air traits of being smooth operators. They can talk you into buying something you already own and absolutely do not need, without you even realizing it. This mutable sign belongs to people who are extremely flexible, can adapt and adjust to change and are just super cool fun to be around. They motivate their friends, Virgo, Sagittarius and Libra, well and their optimism is absolutely contagious.

Cancer Zodiac Sign Meaning - June21st to July 22nd
I am back on the crabs, for I adore them. My father is a cancer and I tell you from personal experience, crabs have very high EQ (I didn't want to upset them, high EQ sounds better than saying emotional with a capital 'e'). This moon ruled water sign, can rise above the tides and ride the glorious waves. It can also go the other way and retreat to a very dark and dismal place where all kinds of crazy phobias and worries can eat away capabilities. This water sign needs special love and care, for they are absolutely fantastic people, who will stick by you through all the ups and downs of your life. The cardinal feminine sign of Cancer is not subversive at all, even if it may seem so. Please know that your cancer sign profile suggests that your friend is sure to rebel, if put in a constant state of servitude for the crab was born an opinionated leader. Even as a child he used to pucker up his mouth, wave his fists and rebel when he was pushed to eat when he wasn't hungry He's smart, loving (motherly, sorry, I just had to get that one in), peaceful, sentimental and caring, and I for one, would love a boss like that (maybe he'll even let me bring my dog to work). Cancer the sign profile, suggests us to ignore his loony behavior that tends to change with the moon and you'll see the beautiful imagination that he possesses.

Leo Zodiac Sign Meaning - July 23rd to August 21st
Enter the monarch of the astrological wheel and you will know you have arrived. When with a Leo, you will bask in the mellow sunshine of his ruling sun, laze around like a lion that no one dares to defy and carry the glory of fire, his ruling element. On the flip side, you will be exposed to an ego that quite equals the size of his magnanimous heart, a love of luxury that might get a tad bit too far and bossy orders that might seem a little high handed. There's never a shabby Leo, and this is as much a fact as is - there's never a modest Leo (just one who's pretending to be). But will all his faults, from high handedness to arrogance, you cannot help but love your Leo friend, for he's loyal, courageous, brave and magnanimous. His warm golden heart never bears a grudge and his bright sunny personality can never cast a shadow. Well endowed with the Sun's graceful optimism, your Leo friends will show you how to live life king-size. Please be careful, don't step on his Achilles heal, his huge, massive, susceptible ego and never NEVER question his integrity. They are good friends with other Leos, Scorpios and Capricorns. Leos are capable of giving swift judgments (though offense can be taken by those who have had their feathers ruffled) which are often more beneficial just for being timely.

Virgo Zodiac Sign Meaning - August 22nd to September 22nd
Virgo is symbolized by the virgin (please don't take it literally). This Mercury ruled zodiac sign is intelligent and sharp and shows good organizational capabilities. Perfectionist to the points of being critical, this sign boasts of possessing an excellent memory. Being ruled by Mercury gives this grounded earth sign the uncanny ability to spin outlandish tales and still make them believable. These shy, often quiet people, make good friends for Pisces, Taurus and Gemini. Virgo is a just and trustworthy sign, for Virgo people will never let go of you in your difficult times, even if your war is against them. Virgo is very vocal about his opinions, so if you have a fragile ego, please be wary. Virgo is very smart, even with handy work. This is your man if you do not wish to call an electrician or plumber for every odd job. Here's something for you girls, Virgo being a mutable sign, he is also easier to live with than most other males!

Libra Zodiac Sign Meaning - September 23rd to October 22nd
Symbolized by scales, Libra is a Venus ruled air sign. Most Libra people are shy and quiet, but they are all intrinsically just and trustworthy. Libra is often accused of being indecisive or shifty in their loyalties, but that's only because they are yet to reach a balancing decision on the issue. Once that is reached, their opinion and judgment holds. This cardinal sign can hold its own, despite opposition pressure and makes good friends with Aquarius, Taurus and Aries. Libra craves the freedom of a harmonious, balanced environment, for clashes in opinions as well as colors depress them. Libra is the best person to argue your case if you are determined to win it, for they are the best astrological debaters, doing thorough research and throwing timely punches. Usually the guy who takes both sides at once (only because he honestly believes in each point) in an argument (and ends up with a hurt look and a punched nose) is your Libra. You'll never find these beautiful non-violent people replying in kind, not matter how wronged they are.

Scorpio Zodiac Sign Meaning - October 23rd to November 21st
With a scorpion as their mascot and Pluto as their ruling planet, this sign makes a formidable foe. But zodiac Scorpio facts suggest a very deep dark sign that epitomizes the saying 'still waters run deep'. This water sign is independent, enterprising and secretive. Perhaps the only one who's perfectly content with his own company and counsel. Scorpio exudes an aura of self confidence and is known to rise from the ashes of despair and defeat. Nothing keeps them down long, but the other party needs to be to wary for the scorpions legendary vindictiveness. There is nothing that they cannot achieve, from the highest highs to the lowest lows. This fixed sign is good with organization and maintenance of existing projects and has the capacity to see them through right to the end. These loyal, possessive and courageous people, make great friends with Leo, Pisces and Capricorn. Just ensure, you don't give out expensive secrets, when confronting a Scorpio (easier said than done).

Sagittarius Zodiac Sign Meaning - November 22 to December 21st
This centaur archer is the clown of the zodiac wheel. Be in his company and you'll be laughing at everything (I swear he carries laughing gas with him). Jupiter lends them magnanimity of spirit and luck that can wear out all the Vegas casinos. They are so childishly optimistic that lady luck can't help but make their most unlikely bets come true. The fire element lends Sagittarius the undying capacity to keep trying with full enthusiasm and fire, despite falls and failure. Sagittarius people are honest to the point of brutality along with being stubborn and impatient. They love animals just as much as they love their family and friends, namely Aries, Gemini, Taurus and Virgo. They are forever trying to expand their knowledge horizons through religion, philosophy, education and travel. I wish they didn't have their huge commitment phobias though.

Capricorn Zodiac Sign Meaning - December 22 to January 20th
My best friend is a goat. She is ruled by Saturn and belongs to the Earth element (and I love her despite that, since I am a Sun and Fire combination). Capricorn is intelligent, savvy and street smart (resourceful) making them fully legit cardinals. They have the patience and perseverance that can surpass all other signs put together. Known to achieve success through hard work, some Capricorns take the easy route and marry for a better social status, something they are known to get by hook or crook. They seek security within the social order and are purposeful and systematic, if you ignore the periodic bouts of gloom. They get along well with Leo, Scorpio and Taurus. Capricorn being a mountain climbing goat, is astrologically gifted with the means to reach the top of any pinnacle. It just depends on each individual Cappy, how he uses this gift from Saturn?

Aquarius Zodiac Sign Meaning - January 21st to February 19th
The water bearer Aquarius is electric and eccentric just like his ruler Uranus. There's only one word to describe him perfectly and that's curious. Till you have some information he wants, you're his best friends, after that, he's gone, poof, disappeared into thin air. He'll be off digging up some other unknown mystery, but not for long, for he has a very short attention span. Like his air element, he's here one minute and there the next. Aquarius is here to change status quo, so sit back and enjoy his antics. Though he can tilt towards being lazy, he can be amazingly energized when the cause is something he strongly believes in. Aquarius people make natural friendships with everyone, but get along best with Gemini, Pisces and Libra. My Aquarius office friend would be immensely offended with me if I failed to mention that Aquarius is the sign of genius (and most genius are often misunderstood as fools). They are meant for great things, and even greater unorthodox eccentricities. Just beware of the adage - 'out of sight, out of mind', for it definitely applies to them.

Pisces Zodiac Sign Meaning - February 20th to March 20th
Last but not the least, we have the confused Pisces fish. Only this water sign, that has the Neptune connection, can infuse the mystical into the real and tangible. Bordering on psychic, this mutable sign is passionate, generous, honest and trustworthy. The selfless Pisces fish are often naive and gullible, and easily get taken for a ride. The Pisces people are the behind the scenes people that deserve all the successes and accolades, that other more showy signs often get. Scorpio, Cancer and Aquarius are their best friends. These emotional, feminine people often have their hearts on their sleeves and it's a shame that they hide it so well. There is no Pisces in the world who will not raise your protective instincts, but most times, they are the strongest of them all, capable of lifting themselves and others over any misery.
