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. 

Romantic, and glamorous, moon in Libra imbues a keen appreciation for beauty and art. Libra moon people have an artistic eye that is unrivaled by any other Moon sign. They have an increased awareness of their surroundings and of other people. What they really appreciate are the experiences that make life more wonderful and delightful. They detest rudeness, crudity, or conflict. Their immediate response to anything unpleasant is to dismiss it, or, if that is infeasible, at least to put it in the best light imaginable.

They try to encompass themselves with comfort and beauty within a serene and luxurious environment. Because they fancy beautiful things, Libra moons are happy to blow their money on objects that catch their attention. The Moon in the balanced sign of Libra engenders a welcoming, autonomous mind that tries to assess the world dispassionately and sensibly. There is also great personal grace and a heightened capacity to get along with others. They are fabulous at understanding other people’s perspective without losing sight of their own viewpoints. 

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.

Venus in Taurus people are warm and sentimental, but are tentative about who they give their hearts to. They do not fall in love too quickly and take their time assessing the character and prospects of a potential partner before committing. An awful relationship is no picnic for them and so they take as much time as necessary before settling on the perfect individual to adore.

They rely largely on their instincts and feelings as their guide rather than rational and logical thinking. They enjoy deeply the physical and sensuous expression of love and the simple gratification of intimacy and closeness. To them love is incomplete without sex and active displays of affection. Venus in Taurus people are very demonstrative of their love. Sometimes they can be smothering and possessive. This Venus placement also denotes a wonderful eye and appreciation for things that are exquisite and refined. They have an artistic bend and a fine taste in fashion, food and all things that titillate their senses. 

Mars in Gemini likes dynamic activity of the mind. You are cleverly cerebral, with a steel-trap mind that immediately understands concepts and shapes novel ideas. You are perceptive and realistic and reach conclusions in a flash. The dilemma is that you lack strength of determination. You hesitate, dawdle, and think of yet another delay. In matters of sensuality, you feel desire in the mind before it matures into reality.

You appreciate the enterprise leading up to lovemaking and have emotions that are easily stimulated. However, as soon as an affair suffers a loss of zest and becomes dull you look for the exit hatch. You manage to have plenty of relationships and intimacies. Mars-Geminis are apt to encourage and to lead others through the power of the verbalized and printed word. Usually you possess a captivating voice and a compelling gift to persuade others of what you say.

Being a Snake ourselves, we should be able to recite our Chinese restaurant placement profile by heart, but here it is anyway: Born in the years 1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989 and 2001. Wise and intense with a tendency towards physical beauty. Vain and high tempered. The Snake is an interesting mix of extroversion paired with introversion, intuitive reasoning paired with business savoir-faire.

Snakes are considered to be lucky with money and will generally have more than enough to live life to the fullest, regardless of how important it considers money to be; this may be due to the fact that Snakes tend to be rather tight with cash. They’re not stingy; they’re simply more mentally than physically active. Snakes tend to hang back a bit in order to analyze a situation before jumping into it. Their charming, seductive quality actually belies a rather retiring nature; this Sign is perfectly happy to spend the whole day curled up with a good book and, thus, can be mislabeled as being lazy. 

Unlike the position of the Earth in our solar system, the element of earth lies dead center in the Chinese astrological charts. This is probably because ancients believed the Earth was the center of the universe and all celestial bodies circled our planet. People born under the element of Earth seem to feel the universe revolves around them as well. Self –centered, ambitious and stubborn, earth people are used to getting what they want and achieving their goals. Failure is foreign to them. Goals are achieved through hard work and determination. Earth people know how to plan for the long term and they are stable enough to stick with the plan to its success. The stubbornness of the earth element is a double-edged sword, giving those born under its rule the determination to follow through when things are tough, and the audacity to defend their point, even when they are wrong.
