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. 

The sign of Virgo steadies the ever-shifting influence of the Moon. Virgo moon has keen analytical leanings with a precise, discriminating mind. They do not seek knowledge simply for the purpose of knowledge but for the purpose of practical application. Their initial reaction to the sense-impressions they take in from the world is to analyze and question. Moon in Virgo people are sometimes so suspicious they doubt what they see with their own eyes.

They prefer to discuss concepts and investigate ideas held by others while holding fast to many of their own preconceived notions. They are not so unreasonable, though, that they will cling to a theory once the facts have proven them wrong. They are seekers of veritas, and consider truth to be what is left after inaccuracies have been revealed. No one would consider them a naive idealist wearing rose-tinted glasses. Their realistic pragmatism makes them well suited in business. They focus on building long-term gains rather than get-rich quick money schemes.

In the dynamic and passionate sign of Aries, Mercury takes on a more forceful quality in its intellectual style. Those born with their Mercury in Aries, are often witty, and original and have little problems speaking up and expressing their thoughts and opinions. They are skillful conversationalists a capacity for using biting sarcasm and humor. They can be very funny and highly expressive in how they use language.

They are likely to utilize a lot of slang in their speech and may possess extensive knowledge of hip and edgy terms at their disposal. They may often exaggerate or over embellish for effect. They are impatient and eager and can sometimes be argumentative and tactless. There may be a tendency to speak without thinking and to say too much. Their insights are quite perceptive, however, and they are often lucky in making good decisions. People with Mercury in Aries suffer from headaches, particularly when in a boisterous and noisy environment.

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.

The Pig may be the most generous and honorable Sign of the Chinese Zodiac. Pigs are nice to a fault and possess impeccable manners and taste. Pigs are simply possessed of a truly luxurious nature, one that delights in finery and nice things (in surroundings, food, lovemaking and otherwise). This Sign believes in the best qualities of mankind and certainly doesn’t consider itself to be superior.

Pigs also care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keep everyone in their life happy. Helping others is a true pleasure for the Pig, who feels best when everyone else is smiling. A Pig with no one around to appreciate its giving nature is a sad thing indeed. Pigs are so magnanimous they can appear almost saintly; this can lead some less-than-well-intentioned souls to stomp all over this Sign, and the bad news is, the Pig will take the blows. 

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.
