Each of the 12 zodiac signs has its own desires, traits, strength, weakness, and ways of viewing the world.
Your star sign or zodiac sign influences your character, personality, and emotions.
It is a great guide for understanding yourself, your love life, and your relationships.
Your zodiac sign
People usually ask, “Hey, what’s your sign?” when they are trying to figure out someone’s personality.
This question is a way of figuring out the position that you were born in on earth and it has been used for hundreds or even thousands of years as an astrological tool.
In fact, many people reply on their natal chart when making decisions.
You will know more about yourself by answering this one simple question than any other type of quiz could ever tell you.
This is because who we become starts with our sun sign which is determined by where the sun was (its position) during the time that we were born.
Do you know your sun sign?
The strongest influence over us would be from how people perceive themselves so if someone asks me my sign I reply with “I am an Aries”or “I’m a Capricorn.”
This article looks at the characteristics of the different zodiac Signs.
Zodiac Signs Compatibility
In astrology, all zodiac signs are compatible with each other.
This is because there isn’t any one sign that can be incompatible with the others.
In fact, two people of highly-compatible zodiac signs will have a much easier time getting along and growing together than those whose compatibility may not be as strong or broad range.
Aries
Born between March 20 – April 19.
Aries’ traits are direct, honest, highly competitive, and unafraid of conflict.
They are not slow to take action because they know what they want and do things their way.
Aries loves to explore and go on adventures; their high energy and active nature make them take action fast without wasting time.
They are hotheads, impulsive and impatient.
When Aries says, “I don’t care,” they mean it because it is hard for them to apologize.
Aries is prone to take reckless risks, which can often cause them turmoil.
Aries is the most compatible with other fire signs.
Sagittarius and Leo, as well as air signs Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini are also very compatible matches for Aries because of their fiery personalities.
Taurus
Born between April 19 – May 20.
Taurus are graceful, diligent, calm, grounded, logical, and steady.
They are always okay with the way things are, even if things are falling apart.
Taurus likes things to be consistent, predictable, and like being in control. Stubborn, materialistic, and slow to act are a few of the weaknesses Taurus poses.
The earthy Taurus is compatible with practically any other sign, but best suited to those born under the Earth signs of Capricorn and Virgo.
The water-oriented Pisces can also be a great match for Taurian lovers!
Gemini
Born between May 20 – June 21.
Geminis are intelligent, versatile, great communicators, sensitive listeners, very responsive, perceptive, analytical, and funny.
They can be introverts and extroverts and can easily adapt to any situation.
The mind of a Gemini is an endless track because they are always working to achieve something new.
They are afraid of being alone and the power of their imagination.
The stylish Gemini is one of the most versatile signs in astrology.
They can be compatible with all 12 zodiac constellations, making them a perfect match for any social situation!
Cancer
Born between June 21 – July 22.
Cancers have different personality layers, are self-aware, very sensitive, and care about others.
Their sorrow and the sorrows of others often weigh them down.
Cancers are drawn to routine, stability, and they love old art forms, old stories and are likely to keep traditions.
Cancer is a water sign. Water-signs are often attracted to earth signs, which tend to be practical and reliable.
Cancers have an affinity for Capricorns because they’ll help them feel grounded.
Taurus’ can offer support in both the physical world as well as their own emotional needs (especially if Cancer has feelings of feeling lost).
While Virgos will enjoy supporting Cancers with any technical projects that need attention
Leo
Born between July 22 – August 22.
Leos are loving, warm, bold, and are the ultimate showmen.
They are ambitious, speak eloquently and have a way with words. Their actions are effortless and natural.
They can become overbearing when their positive side overpowers them which some consider a weakeness.
Leos share their accomplishments in a way that can be seen as bragging, and they like to feel important.
There are many signs in the zodiac and Leo is compatible with most of them.
They get along best with fire signs like Aries, Sagittarius, as well as air sign Libra and Gemini.
Virgo
Born August 22 – September 22.
Virgos pay attention to detail.
They are intelligent, and perfectionists who may have a hard time expressing themselves.
Virgos are little geniuses who want to feel acknowledged for their contributions because they feel insecure whenever they are not perfect.
They are known to always take responsibility for their actions.
Virgo matches best with Capricorn and Taurus, the other earth signs.
They also have a special relationship to Cancer, Pisces and Scorpio which are water-based zodiacs.
Libra
Born September 22 – October 23.
Libras can be introverted and extroverted, spontaneous and strategic, intuitive and focused.
This makes it impossible to know their true personality. They behave differently depending on who they are around.
Libras dislike confrontations and conflicts, and they tend to be indecisive.
Libra is able to get along well with all star signs, but some are more compatible than others. Libra favors other air signs: itself, Aquarius and Gemini; as well as the fire sign Aries.
Scorpio
Born October 23 – November 22.
Scorpios are popular personalities who are difficult to get to know.
They know how to probe and push people to reveal even their most guarded secrets, but they are very intentional about the information they reveal about themselves.
Scorpios dislike being vulnerable, and they need to be in control over themselves and other people.
Scorpio is strong and ambitious, but not in the ways that most signs are.
This makes Scorpios great mates for their fellow water sign of Pisces as well as those who share a deep bond with them such as Aries or Capricorn-both fire signs.
Sagittarius
Born November 22 – December 21.
Known as the ultimate empiricist, Sagittarius will always choose principles over feelings.
They are explorers who want to understand how the world works, so they become reckless in their pursuit.
This makes it hard for them to focus, but they always overcome once their mind is set on achieving something.
Sagittarius is an adventurous, hardworking sign that will do anything to make sure their partner feels loved.
They are compatible with the fire signs of Aries and Leo as well as air signs Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini because they all share a fiery spirit.
Capricorn
Born December 21 – January 20.
Capricorns will rather prove their own abilities to themselves instead of being the center of attraction.
They are incredibly pragmatic, masters of discipline, and the ultimate perfectionist.
Capricorns are scared of depending on others but can feel like the loneliest sign.
Capricorn is a pretty grounded earth sign, so they are best matched with other earth signs like themselves and Virgo.
They also match well with water signs that have similar temperaments such as Cancer or Pisces!
Aquarius
Born January 19 – February 18.
Aquarius live their lives in direct opposition to the current world.
They formulate the most unpopular opinions, are charming, intriguing, and humorous when delivering their thoughts on the most abstract topics.
Aquarius are rational and struggle to resolve the tension to be in a community or their need to detach from the community.
Aquarius are happiest when they can balance things out.
Aquarians get along best with other air signs because their desire to bring peace and harmony is echoed in the traits of Libra, Gemini, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.
Pisces
Born February 18 – March 20.
Pisces are difficult to understand.
They behave differently with everyone and like to live their life like a romantic poem.
Pisces are absorbed in themselves, and they tend to adopt larger personalities to avoid having one identity.
They often cause their own turmoil and are addicted to melancholy.
The Pisces zodiac sign is well known for its ability to get along with almost every other type of astrological symbol.
They also are noted as being great friends with people born under Capricorn and Taurus signs, two very stable signs that can provide a good balance between the volatility of their relationship and emotional instability they may both possess.
The water element within this Zodiac sign holds an unending amount of potential when it comes to relationships.
Air: Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius
Air signs are the epitome of thought, communication, and social connection.
They embody qualities like open-mindedness (Gemini), fairness (Libra), and improving society (Aquarius).
These traits not only allow them to see new perspectives on life but also make it easy for others to understand who they really are because these thoughts always seem very genuine.
The highest expression of Air is most valuable in understanding all kinds of ideas where other people might draw a line.
Exploring how we feel about important topics that may be taboo or controversial can help us realize what kind of mindset each person has which makes certain issues so personal
Water: Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces
Water signs are the nurturing, intense, and loving element.
They excel at caring for all walks of life (Cancer), transforming people from their lowest points into something better (Scorpio) or imagining a beautiful future that is full with possibilities to come (Pisces).
The highest expression of water helps these individuals tap deep within themselves learning what truly matters in this world; feelings and intuition guide them on such journeys.
Fire: Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius
Fire is the most exciting and powerful of all four elements, due to its independence, creativity and exploration.
Aries people are leaders that initiate new projects with their energy while Leo’s passion for life can make them excellent entertainers (they’re also not ones to shy away from a good competition).
Sagittarius’ sense of adventure has made them some of history’s greatest explorers.
They’ve been credited with discovering Australia as well as North America before Christopher Columbus did!
Earth: Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn
The Earth element is a stable and dependable type of person that always has practical solutions to problems.
At their best, they are inventive problem-solvers with strong ambitions for prosperity but also the ability to make sure all needs are met.
