Aries the Ram is called the first sign of the Zodiac. If you are born under this sign, you will tend to have the same traits as a young ram. Enthusiastic, adventurous, forthright and energetic. You’re courageous and confident. But be careful because sometimes you can be a little too impulsive . The boldness you show makes you something of a daredevil. And where would the world be, without daredevils, willing to strike out and do something completely different.

People born under the Aries sign are passionate lovers and intense friends. They sometimes risk driving people away with all that intensity and so Aries people need partners that can match them without fueling the fire and creating explosive situations.Aries make excellent entrepreneurs; it’s a natural talent for someone with such a strong focus on initiative and leadership.  They thrive on challenges and love to excel and win.  They don’t react well when forced to wait, and can have trouble accepting advice. 

Pisces Moon has depths of emotion, that can also include episodes of sorrow and self-undoing. Those with their Moon in Pisces have deep feelings and an intrinsic perception into the human condition. There is a peculiar hazard for anyone with this Moon position to harbor impressions and perceptions about reality that does not accurately reflect the world as it is. Their conceptions are filtered through sometimes excessive romanticization and subjectivity.

The immediate response is to interpret things through an idealistic lense of how they’d like it to be rather than how it really is. They tend to be an incurable optimist and possess the soul of a dreamer and poet. Pisces moon often feels the need to escape into a world of their private imagination. Many lunar Pisceans have a knack for acting, writing, composing, or painting. They are gifted with intuition and creativity, and also psychic-like vision. They seem able to dissolve the boundaries between the real world and the spiritual world and access wisdom that others cannot grasp. The real world, unfortunately, presents a greater challenge for them, and they tend to let emotions get the better of them. 

Those with Mercury in Taurus never start on a project before they are totally prepared. They have a reasonable, firm, and practical mind. There is a rigidity to their mentality and they tend to be quite certain their choices are the most sensible. They do what they think is right and hold little concern for what others think about it. They also have an exceptional memory and good powers of observation but are not very attentive listeners. It can be very difficult to change their minds once they’ve been made up.

Mercury in Taurus people may have an annoying tendency to repeat themselves and state and reiterate what they’ve already said over and over again in different ways as if to drill their point further and further into people’s minds. Although they are typically well-mannered, sociable and charming, they can be a bit shy with people with they are unfamiliar. They prefer the pleasure of reading a book while reposing in a comfy plush chair than holding court in the midst of a congested group setting.

If you have Venus in Gemini you must have an mental affinity with someone before your hearts start to blossom. Essentially, you have a cheerful disposition toward love. Deep, complex emotional engagements are like an anchor around your throat. You have such a broad range of interests—travel, literature, music, recognizing new areas (and meeting new people)—that a partner just can’t be the only center of your life.

This confers a definite coolness to your sentiments. Your inconstancy seldom produces challenges in love or marriage, but you spring back promptly. Not even a frustrated lover can be annoyed at you very long—you are too charming, amusing, and entertaining. You relish being with people and possess lots of friends, and often more than one sweetheart. (Venus exercises its most provocative influence in Gemini.) This placement of Venus also excites a casual and loose hand for squandering money.

Mars in Aries people are energetic and dynamic forces of nature. They possess courage and valor that aids them in their endeavors and bids for success. They are endowed with self confidence and a passionate character. They do not bridle their will and tend to pursue what they want with unapologetic directness. They tend to be honest and assert themselves in no uncertain terms.

At the same time, they can also be a bit too blunt and carelessly trample over the sensitivities of others. They are excitable and impulsive but often fun to be around. Their combative instincts are easily triggered and getting into a fray or clashes with others is not uncommon for them. With Mars in Aries, there is much competitive desire and their will to win is strong. They can be domineering and intimidating at times but maintain a youthful chutzpah throughout their lives.

The Fire element is both destructive and nourishing. On a cold winter day, there is nothing more calming to the soul than curling up by a roaring fire with a good book or cherished love one. On the other side, there is no other force on earth more destructive than a raging, out of control fire. Fire nourishes the human body by providing us heat to cook our food and light with which to see.

And, there is nothing more painful than having a part of your body taken by fire or flame. Fire signs draw attention to themselves.  Those under the influence of Fire have charm and charge on their side.  They have an infectious enthusiasm that makes them natural leaders, so people just can’t help but to follow them. They take the role of leader seriously, and do it well. For fire people, managing others comes naturally. They are decisive, compassionate, understanding yet firm.
