Those born from January 20 to February 18 are Aquarius. You are a humanitarian and more intelligent than most and given to thoughts of how to make the world a better place. You can be inventive and original, and you’re freedom-loving. You’re generous with your thoughts, whether people are interested or not!

You can be eccentric and idiosyncratic, and need a lot of space, but your heart is nearly always in the right place. We are now in the age of Aquarius, but only just in the dawn of it, like the song said. All the wonderful, generous characteristics of the Water Bearer are not yet symbolic of humanity as a whole yet, as evidenced by the current turmoil in the Middle East. But there are signs. Remember the Random Acts of Kindness. Perhaps those were a harbinger of the Age of Aquarius. 

Scorpio moon exhibits extremes of emotion. The impact of Scorpio is to emphasize the Moon’s sensual potency and forcefulness. If you have your Moon in Scorpio you have a spiritual nature and strong feelings that drive your behavior. You are in many ways a closed book and are very adroit at concealing your real feelings. Moon in Scorpio is one of the more challenging lunar placements.

Although you are driven by powerful desires, you often deny them to others. You oftentimes reject your feelings of anger or jealousy, and hence keep your reactions hidden under a cool, agreeable surface. You can display great self-control but can become cold and distant if an experience becomes painful. You especially dread any sort of rejection. Your talent for deadening your sensitivity allows you to feel in control, but it is also the pathway to the gradual destruction of the spirit. You need to learn to let go emotionally and feel your pain, and through that process can expand your extraordinary ability to love. 

Mercury in Aquarius shows a subtle and ingenious mind, curious, critical, and creative. As a native of this position you hold a large concern for other people and have great understanding of human nature. You like to analyze personality and motive, and with your finely tuned skills of observation are able to foretell exactly how someone will respond in a particular situation. You are a infamous people watcher—in subways, buses, airports, and eateries.

Yours is a comprehensive and emotionally dispassionate viewpoint. Aquarius is the sign of the truth-seeker, which describes the way your mind operates. You appreciate intellectual conversations about theory, philosophy, and the fate of humanity. Odds are you have read the classic works of our great thinkers. You are wonderfully fitted for work in progressive professions—psychology, inventions, the business of communications and sciences. Sometimes you may seem strange, for your ideas are venerable and you also relish saying things that jar other people.

Venus in Aquarius encourages a compassionate and friendly nature. You are accommodating, philanthropic, and humane, but are not an especially emotional person. You display an intellectually dispassionate attitude toward romance. To you, personal autonomy is most critical, and any attachment must leave you free to investigate different interests and hobbies, meet new souls, and experience a wide assortment of associates.

You cannot endure envy and will walk away from emotional disturbances. You believe in justice and openness. As a Venus-Aquarian, you are most inclined to have platonic attachments because intimate entanglements are more emotionally confining than you desire. You are immensely popular and can draw a great many sweethearts. Usually, however, you wish to direct your individual magnetism toward broader interests and more lasting verities than mere romance. Aquarius is the sign of beliefs and wishes, and Venus in this sign normally awards you what you dream of.

Pisces is a sensitive sign, and your power with Mars in Pisces is your ability to move  hearts and seize the emotions. If you have this Mars placement, you may be noted for your compelling creativity. Many artists, authors, and performers have Mars in Pisces. Enormously amenable to your surroundings, you collect patterns in your subconscious and then present them at a suitable time.

You shoulder the duties of others without grievance. Depth of feeling is apparent in your passion. You are sensual, have intense feelings, and demonstrate a high level of zeal. You seek to include yourself completely in a sex relationship, for this is a way in which you can draw nearer to another human being. You may sustain disappointment in love. Throughout your lifetime you draw prominent friends and grow monetarily from these relations.

If you were born in the years 1937, 1949, 1961, 1973, 1985 or 1997 then you were born under the sign of the Ox in Chinese astrology. Our Chinese menu that we pilfered from lunch today says that you are bright, patient and inspiring to others. You can be happy by yourself, yet make an outstanding parent. You should marry a Snake or Cock. Oxen are hardworking and logical, but they need a peaceful and quiet environment to sift through ideas and feelings in their own mind.

Avoid those Sheep. The Ox is a steadfast and solid, a born leader. It’s dependable and has what it takes to achieve great things. They are methodical, not plunging in without considering what the right steps are to get a project finished. They believe in doing it right the first time. Ox people tend to be powerful and steady. Oxen were traditional used to plow fields, and haul heavy loads. They make good work animals because of their dependable and patient attitudes. 

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.

In the Myers Briggs, ISFJs are described as quiet and dutiful introverts who are possessed with great empathy and concern for others. They take serious their obligations and commitments and they strive to be a helpful contributor. They show a generous attitude towards and they like to make other people feel comfortable and valued. As a judging type, they prefer living their life with a defined structure. Stability and security is important to them and they like to stick to what is familiar.

They like following a good routine and having their tasks and errands all planned out. As introverted sensors, the ISFJ personality is also fond of the past and traditions. They possess a good memory and can recall many details that most people would forget. ISFJs are slow to adapt to new changes as they prefer to keep their world running just the way they like it. Their values tend to be conservative and practical. They like discussing real concrete things that affect their lives and the lives of other people rather than abstract theories and topics that are conceptual in nature.
