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. 

Mercury in the sign of Pisces denotes a subtle and intuitive intelligence. There is an interesting and enigmatic quality about the way their mind works. They do not simply arrive at conclusion through logic alone but through flashes of insight, premonitions and mysterious intuits that are not based on previous facts or precedents. Their pronouncements can often wax prophetic.

They have accurate hunches plus, with their imaginative and creative talents, are able to conceptualize new ideas that are difficult to grasp by those who lack imagination. Mercury in Pisces people can occassionally lack self-confidence and appear timid or perplexed. They display empathy and understanding for the faults and failings of other people. In their mind, each person has his or her own truth and this extends even to those who lie. Mercury in Pisces people can be like absentminded professors but because of their sensitivity to their surroundings, they are easily distracted by and unable to concentrate when there is anything or anyone upsetting them.

Venus in the feisty and passionate sign of Aries denotes torrid and impulsive desires. Venus in Aries are a mix of sentimentality and aggressiveness. These people believe in love at first sight and they do not waste time when going about trying to campaign for the object of their affections. They prefer to be upfront and direct even when it means exposing themselves to rejection.

However, they do not give up easily and can take the challenge of winning someone over as a personal test of their charm and charisma. They can be foolish and imprudent in matters of love. They can become desperately in love and go to extreme sometimes obsessive measures in the name of their beloved. Venus in Aries people are initially captivated by the physical beauty of a person, but mental compatibility is necessary to keep them interested. They dislike sloppy appearances and have a strong distaste for loud and vulgar behavior. 

In Aquarius, the spirit of Mars is displayed on a mental plane. You are prompt in your responses, but before you act you need to be engaged intellectually. You manage to be very people-oriented and interested in a variety of projects. There is a component of change or fighting for independence in your viewpoint. Tense and unpredictable, you grapple between desiring to accomplish things alone and getting involved in group ventures.

There is also uncertainty in your intimate nature. You have powerful passions that are not always reachable. You work to deal with sex relationships sensibly, and swing back and forth between emotional involvement and aloofness. You recognize sensual desire but don’t want to be shackled by it. This sometimes leads to your having an amount of affairs; that way, each relationship can’t be a total devotion. As a Mars-Aquarian you have vital insights into human character.

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. 

Nurturing yet dangerous, vital and deadly, water is a ripe with contradiction. In moderate amounts it is a blessing, in over abundance, a curse. Water is the only element with the ability to put out fire and make things grow and thrive. Water is vital to our very survival. Without water crops wither and die and there is no food. The human body, and in fact, all life on Earth is dependent upon water. Yet, even for life, water has the potential to be deadly. Too much water in the body leads to water intoxication and even death. It is, however, a delicate balance.

Too little water and all life withers and dies with the effects of the hot sun. Too much water chokes out needed oxygen and drowns. It is for this very reason the element water is represented by the color black. Water rules intelligence and wisdom. People born under the element water are uncommonly intelligent and capable. For all their wisdom and reasoning ability, water people tend to have difficulty making and sticking to decisions. Diplomatic, and intuitive, water people are flexible. They have a special ability to ‘go with the flow’ and are usually easygoing.
