In its broadest sense, astrology is the

search for meaning in the sky.

Astrology is a form of divination

formulated based on the movements

and relative positions of the sun,

moon, and other celestial objects. The

planetary patterns at the time of your

birth, known as your star sign or

horoscope, explain aspects of your

personality, character traits and

potentials.

Star signs are blueprints of

possibilities and probabilities. While

they do not predict your future,

understanding them will enable you to

understand yourself and identify

patterns of events in your life that

would allow you to consciously shape

your destiny.

The four elements in astrology arefire, earth, air and water. Each of thesigns of the zodiac falls into one ofthese four groups. Everyone’s birth

chart is a mixture of the fourelements but one or more will be

stronger and exhibit profoundinfluence on basic character traits,behaviour, emotions, thinking and

intuition that is often manifested inour relationships and careers.

Fire Signs represent the warming, radiating, energising life

principle which can manifest as enthusiasm, faith,

encouragement, and the drive to express self. Fire individuals

are intuitive, energetic, enthusiastic, spontaneous, optimistic

and confident. They have confidence and strong belief in their

abilities and their future. Like fire, they can go off easily and

quickly go from a small flame to a raging fire. Fire individuals

can be emotional, impatient, egocentric and insensitive to the

needs and feelings of others. They are driven and get on best

with the air signs whose ideas stimulate their creativity.

The fire signs:

Aries, Leo and Sagittarius

A R I E S

Aries is the Cardinal Fire sign, with the symbol of the Ram. Aries is the

beginning of the zodiac. They are the spark, the inspiration, the fire starter,

the big bang of newness. Independence and excitement are natural for

Aries people. Doing it before it was cool, striking out on an adventure,

being a trailblazer, these are hallmarks of an Aries disposition. They know

how to live for the moment.

Aries people are artistic, and even better, they are muses. They inspire

others to try something new, to look at the world with fresh eyes. They find

the excitement in the mundane just as easily as the truly fantastical. Aries is

a great cheerleader; they know what to say to cheer someone up and make

people feel important. As a result, they generally have many friends.

Sometimes too many to handle!

If there ever was a multi-tasker, it’s the Aries. Their attention can switch

seamlessly from one thing to the next, which makes them a great person to

be in the centre of diverse groups, the hub for projects and groups they are

involved in. Aries is also very honest. They give credit where credit is due

and share information without prejudice. Aries has a great memory for

faces and names.

Unfortunately, there are some downsides to being an Aries. One of them is

that so many ideas excite them at once! They say yes to all of them, only to

find out later that they conflict in time, place or ideology. Some people call

them flaky; truth is they are just easily excitable.

Another Aries downside is that they are easily bored. When situations

become stagnant, their attention will stray to the most interesting thing in

the room, which is not always what they need to focus on. Aries is also not

the most linear creature. They prefer to act in many directions at once,

rather than in a one after another stream.

Leo is the Fixed Fire sign of the zodiac, with the sign of the Lion. Leos know

how to put on a show. They know what the big picture looks like, and what they

need to get there. Leo sees the way small details and big pictures are related, but

they are not always willing or able to get the small details in order. This makes

them awesome delegators and great project leaders. They know when it is time

to hand over the task to an expert, and when that expert is themselves.

Leos are generous. They like to give to people around them. They know the

best thing they can give is love and time, which makes them popular in social

circles. Leos genuinely love many people. They know the real meaning of

unconditional love. Leos are kind, compassionate and know how to make you

feel seen and heard when their attention is focused on you. They are attracted

to big social groups and high ideals, though. They want to be a part of the

biggest and brightest movement.

Leos make excellent leaders and public figures because they are generally cool

in the spotlight. They know what to say to make everyone feel welcome, and

what to say to make themselves look good at the moment. Leos can talk their

way out of any awkward moment, and know how to work a room. They also

know how to present an idea with punchy words, and often make good public

speakers.

S A G I T T A R I U S

Sagittarius is the Changing Fire of the zodiac, with the sign of the Archer.

Sagittarius is the philosopher of the zodiac. They love to explore! The new,

the different, the strange, the exotic, Sagittarius wants to see it all. They are not

afraid to look at the atrocities of life either. Sagittarius knows that for every

magical wonder there is an equally horrible fear. Their goal in life is to stay in

the magical exploratory space, and not lose their wonder at the beauty of life

to the mire of the mundane.

Sagittarius brings a unique approach to every situation they are confronted

with. When their problems or relationships feel stuck, they use the time to

seek out a solid Sag buddy and get some exciting ideas flowing. Sagittarius

people will really look at your situation, and allow it to be completely different

than anything they’ve seen before. Sagittarius doesn’t need boxes or labels as

much as the rest of us. They make excellent tailored service people or

craftspeople because their work is really made to fit the person.

Sagittarius people are more comfortable with change and evolution than

many. They can see the potential of an idea before it is even fully formed.

When they are inspired they are ahead of their time. Sagittarius people are

trend setters and fad changers. They see the amazing potential of things

before they really take off.

The flip side of exploration and change is that Sagittarius has a hard time

staying put and are easily misunderstood. Sometimes they are so far ahead of

their time that the people around them feel disconnected, and they feel

isolated. Sagittarius will explore an idea or ideology, and take it home to share

with others, but others sometimes misunderstand the message entirely, or

dismiss it as too far “out there”.

Sagittarius is an explorer; they are out there challenging the status quo and

looking for better ways to do things. Sagittarius’ challenge in life is to go slow

enough with the explanation of their changing spirit that the people who love

them can keep up!

E A R T H

Earth individuals are solid, grounded and very stable. They

react quietly and slowly. Emotionally they are deeply rooted

and slow to change. Like the many mineral compounds that

make the earth, earth individuals are multi-faceted; they are

practical, realistic, materialistic, nature-loving, sensual and

persistent. The earth signs are cautious and conservative and

value security and things that last. They are hardworking and

work best with the water signs whose imagination and

supportiveness nurture them.

Earth signs

Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn


8

T A U R U S


Taurus is the Fixed Earth of the zodiac, with the symbol of the Bull. Taureans

are the builders, the growers, the producers, the providers. These people see the

resources in even the most infertile situations. If you need more power or raw

materials, you need a Taurus on your team. Taurus is known for their ability to

provide stability. These people will set you on the right track and make sure

you get there.

Taurus people are determined. They pull through even when the odds are

stacked against them. Taurus knows all about mountains to climb. Taurus is the

mountain; steady, powerful, immovable. If your task needs follow through, or

you need someone who can take over in a pinch, a Taurus is a perfect fit.

Taurus people know how to get things done. They are incredibly practical and

experts at prioritising tasks. Once a Taurus has decided to do something, you

can rest assured it will be done.

Taurus is a beacon of stability. They provide security and safety for others.

Taurus people know how to nurture. They know how to care for others. They

are stable and grounded and often find themselves in caretaker roles. What

people need when they are looking for a Taurus is reliability. If you need

someone you can count on; Taurus has got your back.

The downside to all this power and determination often manifests as

stubbornness. Taurus people get frustrated when their perspective is challenged

without explanation, and when plans are altered without warning. Taurus

people love having a plan, but sometimes they love the plan too much, and it

becomes impractical. When Taurus gets attached to particular details and

events happening just so, it makes room for extreme disappointment. Leaving

room in the plan for last minute changes and deciding which points you’re

willing to compromise on in advance will help keep Taurus calm.

9


Virgo is the Changing Earth of the zodiac, with the sign of the Virgin. Virgos

are analysts. They are incredibly detail oriented. They notice the slightest

deviations in data sets and understand the impact of subtle changes over long

periods of time. Virgos are like a diamond; clear, strong, multi-faceted, and

always working towards perfection.

Virgos can see problems coming from a mile. They are generally not surprised

by sticky situations, and often sidestep them altogether. They don’t mind doing

the dirty work of research, but they do mind getting mud all over their good

clothes. There are play clothes or work clothes that are appropriate for that.

Virgo wants everything to be the best it can be, so if these are clothes to get

muddy they’ll jump right in!

Virgo doesn’t want to be second or third; they want to be number one - the best

of the best of the best. They understand that true perfection is multifaceted and

that all of those facets must work together to create a bigger picture. They are

willing to look at all the factors and bring them into alignment.

Virgo people are often aesthetic beauty or health-oriented. They know what

real beauty is, and real beauty is healthy because it is sustainable. They

understand the interrelated natural systems of health and environment. They

are graceful in transitional times. If you’re struggling with change, get a Virgo to

your problem, and see if they can’t help you find a more long term solution.

The downside to the Virgo beautiful mind is a tendency towards perfectionism.

Virgo dislikes nebulous solutions or solutions that don’t solve the problem

completely. They may take a temporary compromise, but eventually, they will

become dissatisfied until they are allowed to pursue their idea of perfection.

Virgos hold themselves to very high standards, which can make them overly

critical. They see flaws in any plan, even if they’re minor. Virgos must

remember that not everyone can meet the same high standards that they set

for themselves. Virgos comes off critical and perfectionist but is really just an

extreme idealist. They just want the best for themselves and everyone else.

Capricorn is the Cardinal Earth of the zodiac, with the sign of the Goat.

Capricorn people come up with new plans all the time. They have a new idea

of how to get from point A to point B, so if you’re looking to get going,

Capricorn is a good person to talk to. They make the most with what they

have. They may not have much, but those resources are working full time.

Capricorn wants to get to the heart of the matter. They want to deal with the

root cause of the issue, not just treat the symptom. The Capricorn hard at

work is a miner and a seed planter. They are willing to dig deep to find the

most fertile ground, and sort through the seeds to find the right one.

Capricorns know how to create stable environments. Their home is truly their

castle in most cases, whether they realise it or not. Capricorns are happy to

stay how and where they are, especially if changing means forcing the issue.

When they need to move, they will, but they want to move when the

moment is right.

Capricorns downside is a struggle with planning. They are constantly either

over or under planning. Balance is not the Capricorns strong suit. If they’re

not careful, they may miss the moment, but without careful planning, they

can become stagnant. They sometimes get caught up in the moment and

overlook the long-term consequences of their behaviour. On the other hand,

they can push themselves into over planning and become attached to

particular future that may not even be possible. The trick for Capricorn is to

get the general guidelines and the framework of a plan without worrying

about all of the details.

C A P R I C O R N

A I RAir individuals are intellectual, curious, objective,

sociable, connected and mentally restless. They get

bored easily and in need of constant stimulation. Air

individuals can be elusive, uncertain, unpredictable,

cold and unfeeling. They apply their energies in very

diverse ways. They have a tendency to intellectualise

their feelings and expectations. They can get caught up

in their thoughts and out of touch with reality. Air

people are the thinkers of the zodiac and get on best

with the Fire signs whose strength and positivity inspire

them to put their ideas into action.

Air signs

Gemini, Libra and Aquarius


12

G E M I N I


Gemini is the Changing Air of the zodiac, with the symbol of the Twins.

Gemini people are quick thinkers, they see the validity in many different

perspectives and can switch between approaches quickly and easily. Gemini is

the communications specialist of the zodiac. They are expert at gathering ideas

and information and putting it into a useful format. If you’re having trouble

seeing another person’s perspective, explain your problem to a Gemini.

Gemini people are information sponges; they can take in tonnes of information

at once. This allows them to be quick problem solvers. They know how to

think outside the box. They quickly identify the limitations of a situation and

look for a way out. Gemini can change their style and their speech to suit their

environment in the blink of an eye.

One of Gemini’s biggest challenges is that they can talk themselves out of doing

things they want to do because they let their brain override their heart. Gemini

people compartmentalise their lives relatively easily. Even though they see the

different sides of a situation, they may not understand the way those systems

interact. They can bring in all the information, but they very consciously switch

modes or perspectives to analyse their findings. This makes them seem

disingenuous because they don’t easily agree with others. Even if they think

you are right, that may not be their first response to your situation. They want

to look at it from all sides before they say how they feel. Geminis can come off

as immature or commitment phobic but they just want to examine a situation

before they say they can commit. Give them the time to think things over.

13


Libra is the Cardinal Air of the zodiac, with the symbol of the Scales. Libras

are bastions of balance and diplomacy. They don’t want to rock the boat; they

just want everyone to get along. The Libra way is to wait and see, careful

observation over time is the hallmark of their insights. Libras have the

patience of a saint. They know that going with the flow is the best way in most

cases, and rarely force their way into situations.

Libras are often unsung heroes. They are the social glue behind the curtain of

group success. They don’t need or want the spotlight; they just want to feel

included, and know that their opinion is valuable. Libras crave intimate

discussion and shine in small groups and one on one settings where real issues

are on the table. Libras don’t often take leadership roles, but when they do

they become the philosopher kings of old; benevolent, just, kind,

compassionate, truly working for the good of all.

Libras are the masters of balance. Work life balance, emotional balance,

relationship balance, physical equilibrium. These people excel at moderation.

Social justice and equality in personal relationships are primary concerns for

Libras. They like to see that what goes in comes out and that what is unfairly

taken is somehow repaid.

The downside to the Libra patience and balance can manifest as sloth or

feeling unmotivated. Libra will sometimes mull an idea over for so long,

weighing the pros and cons that they have a hard time taking action. Their

tendency towards relaxed situations can make them seem slow moving, or

unenthusiastic. They’re just trying to think things over and make the best of

the moment, but it may look like inactivity. Another Libras challenge is feeling

heard. Because they are so worried about other people, sometimes they don’t

speak their piece loud enough, and then become frustrated or resentful. For

Libra, it’s important to get everyone’s attention so you can say what you need

to say. That will keep you feeling included, and help you maintain your role

in your social groups.

Aquarius is the Fixed Air of the zodiac, with the sign of the Water Bearer.

Aquarians are the revolutionaries of the zodiac. They want to do it better than

it’s ever been done before. There has to be a way to make all of it work

together. They see all the moving parts of a situation and want them to be in

harmony.

Aquarius is the first one to hop on board for a different, more innovative

approach. Aquarians are often painfully aware of the shortfalls of society, and

push themselves to do better than the status quo. They know there are

solutions that heal humanity as a whole and they are willing to pursue them,

even if it’s a long way in the coming. They know that life takes hard work, but

without a proper ideal to motivate them hard work becomes nearly

impossible.

These people live for the cause. An Aquarius without a cause is lost. Even a

lost cause is better than none. For their self-confidence and mental health to

be at its peak, though, the Aquarian needs to feel like they can and will make a

difference. Making a difference is the highest form of motivation for a true

Aquarius soul.

Aquarius people are so in touch with the needs of the world that sometimes

they lose sight of their immediate needs, or become hyper critical of the

world around them. When Aquarius people experience deep paradigm

shifts, it inspires them to new heights, but they need to grieve the loss of their

old way and hold compassion for themselves. They can become highly self-

critical if they feel like they were wronged or led astray.

They are not critical people on the whole, but the see the way things could be

and that the need for change is so great. Sometimes they can become

impatient with themselves or the world. Aquarius has to remember that the

bigger the change, the longer it takes, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

Every action in the right direction, no matter how small, is contributing to the

bigger picture.

A Q U A R I U S

W A T E R

Water people are emotional, sensitive, sympathetic,

imaginative, creative and private. They can be

refreshing, like a cool stream or dark and mysterious

as the depths of the ocean. Water is complex and a

paradox; it is everywhere and can be almost

anything: liquid, solid like ice or evaporate into air.

Water people have a knack for dealing with others;

they can see through other people, understand their

motives and needs. They are the empaths of the

zodiac and get on best with the Earth signs whose

steadiness and solidity ground and comfort them.

Water signs

Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.


16

C A N C E R


Cancer is the Cardinal Water sign of the zodiac, with the symbol of the Crab.

Cancers may have a tough exterior, but these are some of the sweetest most

loving people in the zodiac. Cancer experiences their emotions in a pure state,

undiluted. They know what pure emotion is and know how to handle it. If you

need someone who understands what you’re going through, talk to a Cancer.

Cancer also knows how to create a safe place for other people. If Cancer asks,

they genuinely want to know how you’re doing.

Cancers are often empathic; they understand the emotional component of

any situation quickly. They thrive in environments where they feel safe and

know how to create a safe emotional space for others as well. Cancer people

have impeccable intuition. If they have a bad feeling about something, they

may not be able to make a clear, logical argument for why, but they are usually

right.

Cancers may be squishy on the inside, but they have a tough exterior that

makes them very hard workers when the moment demands it. If a Cancer is

motivated by your cause, they will give it their all. Cancers are amazing

healers, healing our bodies and minds, our planet, and even complex systems.

Cancer provides the right environment for true healing to occur.

Cancers' biggest downfall is that they can be overly emotional or sensitive, or

read too much into small interactions. Cancer can be easily wounded if they

let down their guard and someone doesn’t notice. For Cancers, it’s important

to discuss your boundaries with other people, and make sure people know

when you are counting on them, or when they have made it into your circle of

trust. Cancers are not too sensitive; they just feel taken advantage of because of

their readiness to give. For Cancer it’s important to surround yourself with

generous, kind people, so your giving doesn’t go unrequited.

17

S C O R P I O


Scorpio is the Fixed Water of the zodiac with the sign of the Scorpion.

Scorpio is like the ocean; deep, powerful, subtle, and complex. Scorpio people

are not afraid of the mystery of life. Knowing may be half the battle, but the

mystery is half the fun. Scorpio thrives in the nebulous, undefined areas of

life. Scorpio can hold space for different kinds of life and beauty, and are often

community builders, and backbones of social movements. They understand

relationships as a complex ecosystem of love and strive to give everyone a

place that is as unique as they are.

Scorpios are interested in the edges of things. They are willing to look beyond

conventional wisdom for Truth. They explore and try out different ideas of

Truth, sometimes to the extent of fanaticism. Now and then Scorpios need a

practical reality check, but once you pull them back from the ideal, they

quickly adjust their perspective and deal with the reality of their situation.

Scorpios don’t do things halfway. They give it their all, or it doesn’t happen. If

they commit to you, they’re friends for life, but getting to that level of Trust

with a Scorpio takes time. They don’t trust easily, and they are quickly

discouraged by unreliable people. They don’t get burned twice. They won’t be

rude, but it will take serious effort to regain their trust.

Scorpios have to be careful not to hold grudges. Creating suspicion in

situations is natural for Scorpio. They turn to doubt very quickly, because

they are acutely aware that there is always more to the story. Scorpios can be

given to wild conjecture and conspiracy theory if they don’t check their facts

and keep their belief systems grounded with some solid common sense.

There’s no way to say what is fact, right, or wrong, but if it sounds too good to

be true, usually it is. Remember to check your facts Scorpio, in relationships

that mean going directly to the source, and in life that means good old

fashioned research.

18

P I S C E S


Pisces is the Changing Water of the zodiac, with the sign of the Fishes. Pisces

people are in the flow. They know how to change with the changing times.

They are not trend setters. They would rather wait and see if it sticks around.

Once a way is proven and accepted they quickly adapt.

Pisces people need to feel beautiful. Beauty is not always conventional for

them. A beautiful soul, or heart, or mind, is just as important to the Piscean as

a beautiful face. Pisces knows how to make another person feel beautiful at

the moment, and a compliment from a Pisces is usually one you remember.

Pisces likes the spotlight more than they would ever admit. They know that

humility is a mark of good character, and will demure a compliment at the

moment, but under all that they need to feel admired. Pisces doesn’t need to

have public acknowledgement. They don’t do it for the reputation; they do it

because it feels good.Pisces knows how to enjoy the journey.
