Taurus
The sign of the builder, the producer Personality
Kind-hearted, pragmatic, materialistic, practical, artistic, self-indulgent, careful, trustworthy, patient and stubborn
Positive qualities
Practical, trustworthy, artistic, generous, stable and loyal, humane and kind
Negative Qualities
Stubborn, possessive, prejudiced, coarse and earthy, lazy and self-indulgent, limited in outlook
Personality & Character
Yours is an Earth sign giving you a sense of material values and reliability, while Venus your planetary ruler makes you fond of the good things of life, particularly food. Because of this essential dichotomy, (artistic tendencies and materialism) people rate you either as arty or money-mad! Taureans work best where both money and people are involved - like banks, large corporations, etc. This is essentially the sign of the builder, which governs your innate urge to make things. You are sensual, not only in the extreme connotation of merely physical pleasure and gratification but also of all the good things that money can buy, even a good home. Taureans have a tremendous and direct sex-drive and are both gourmets and gourmands. They are extremely hospitable and love food themselves. The Taurean temper is famous, slow to arouse but deadly. Their outbursts are short-lived, though and their roar is a safety-valve. They are slow on the uptake, sometimes, but firm in their opinions, once they form them. This makes them enthusiastic and consistent in whatever they do. You are moody, restless when inactive, and like to keep busy always. You know how to deliver the goods and can make a good administrator. Your sense of colour and your practicality not only make you good homemakers but also good in interior design, professionally. You are really industrious, and care deeply for your family, friends and relatives. There is a mixture of mysticism and realism in you. You try to reach God through hard work. Your aim is clearly defined in your life but it is not easy to fathom what goes on in your mind or what your next step will be. Your steadfastness is really impressive. Struggles but not disappointment, failure but not frustration! You are able to achieve your goal because you never lose hope nor are you easily demoralized. You are a traditionalist, and interact well and politely with colleagues and seniors. You make a good administrator. However, the desire to profit, to get on in life is also present, which you usually pursue with your usual dedication.
Gemini
The sign of the inventor, the artist Personality
Mentally energetic and enquiring, restless, artistic, fickle and contrary, witty, versatile, joyous and full of exuberance
Positive qualities
Witty and pleasant, versatile, brilliant, enthusiastic, diplomatic and tactful, cheerful and gay
Negative Qualities
Indecisive, untidy, self-centered, careless, indifferent and cruel, lacking staying power
Personality & Character
Yours is an air sign. Particularly, it is the sign of self-expression, a vocal sign making you reach out to people easily and spontaneously. Your remarkable versatility and intellectual curiosity stem from your tremendous mental vitality. There is an over-abundance of mental energy. You are ruled by Mercury.
Gemini is not too easy s sign to interpret, with its essential duality, so the real you has both, loyalty and capriciousness, sincere attention and flirtatious nature. A change of scene is always welcome, and you keep thinking of new projects. Your ideas are unusual and unique, not just original but classy and unsophisticated.
Mercury, your planet, is the messenger of the Gods. This makes you swift, subtle and direct, quick on the uptake, but you lack staying power. You start the race well but are weak at the finish.
Travel and sports relax you, as do the mountains. Communication is the essence of life for you. You were never meant for solitude and loneliness. You may even enjoy the thrills of gambling. You spend freely but don't always play by the rules. You are often driven by the desire to make a fast buck and can sometimes be shrewd and cunning. Yet, at the same time you are, or can be, very witty and outgoing with a pleasing gregariousness. You must cultivate tenacity of purpose.
You may suffer from hypermania owing to the swings of mood. Eat well and sensibly.

Cancer
The sign of the teacher, the prophet Personality
Sensitive and sympathetic, moody, tenacious, ambitious, caring, mediumistic
Positive qualities
Tenacious, sensitive, sympathetic and psychic, persuasive, loyal and idealistic, imaginative
Negative Qualities
Moody, marked inferiority complex, vacillating, unforgiving, pessimistic, easily hurt
Personality & Character
The traditional view is that Cancerians are home-lovers. While they are greatly attached to the family and home, there are other dimensions to their personality. They display a hunger for publicity and limelight.
You are inordinately sensitive, verging on downright touchiness. The desire to be loved is predominant in you, yet you want personal freedom as well. You have great strength of purpose and hang on like a crab, your symbol, to a loved one, to an idea, a possession. You thus have the capacity to achieve the impossible. Your attitude, however, is truly like the crab, moving forward at some times and retrogressing at others.
There is a great urge to make and have money, of which you will have quite a bit. This urge makes you perform well in large money-making corporations and organisations. However, the root cause lies in a tremendous sense of insecurity.
Sometimes this makes you tend to be over-cautious, diffident, reluctant to take chances. Learn to be more outgoing. It will pay off. You are a person of strong likes and dislikes and loyalties.
Another drive in you is generated by a strong sex urge, possibly part of your clinging nature. You need closeness and fulfilment, otherwise you are likely to develop inhibitions and repressions, all part of the same insecurity. The fact remains that you are both sentimental and sensitive and yet fond of both money and food. You also have rather strong intuitions, on a different plane.

Leo

The sign of the king, the lover Personality
Arrogant and proud, domineering and self-confident, trusting, impulsive, generous to a fault. Boastful, but very brave. Self-awareness and ego are also seen
Positive qualities
Generous, dignified, warm and loving, loyal and kindly, self-aware, artistic, dynamic, aristocratic, dynamic
Negative Qualities
Violent, boastful, arrogant and impulsive, impatient, proud and egotistical, over-confident
Personality & Character
Yours is the most powerful and dynamic sign of the Zodiac. The whole world should be at your feet, with the Sun as your ruling planet. One can justifiably expect great things, outstanding achievements, and wonderful feats from you.
You are a natural leader with a tremendous ability and willingness to delegate authority and responsibility, as you respond tremendously to the feelings of others. Inspired by sympathy and imaginativeness, you have a great kindness in you. However, you suffer from pride, are susceptible to flattery and often have a tendency to play favourites.
Your sign symbolises ambition and generosity, trust, love and a great predilection for company. All your actions are whole hearted and intense. You love the spotlight on you, and also sports and the arts.
With your endowments, you tend to be headstrong, with the innate majesty of your nature. You must learn to heed wise counsel and not let power corrupt you.
Surprisingly, a not so well-known trait is your tendency to bouts of deep depression. The panacea for all evils - hard work - is the answer for your, too, along with avoiding solitude and being sociable and active.
Your other very human failing is a tendency to be boastful, proud and a little too domineering. Sometimes those at the receiving end are likely to be resentful.
You are passionate and masterly in your dealings with the opposite sex. Don't play with the emotions of those around you. You tend to be rash, so gambling and speculation are not always advisable for you. Despite yours being a lucky sign for wealth and success, don't push your luck too much or you can really come a cropper.

Virgo

The sign of the critic, the secretary Personality
Highly critical, exact and methodical, discriminating, analytical, sincere, reasonable, psychic and expressive
Positive qualities
Methodical, psychic, exact and reasonable, expressive, analytical and discriminating
Negative Qualities
Too critical, narrow and rigid, prudish and fault finding, unsympathetic, quarrelsome, miserly
Personality & Character
You are very orderly and methodical, capable of planning and executing projects carefully, sometimes with an almost computer-like level of perfection. There is a meticulous attention to detail, but this leads to your often being so acutely critical as to be hurtful. Your characteristics are a fine sense of discrimination, and remarkable powers of analysis.
Your sign - that of the Virgin - gives you a love of purity. Cleanliness is a passion with you along with a sense of order, punctuality and love of tidiness. You are prudent and careful. Your planet, Mercury, indicates both expressiveness and intelligence. It is an Earth sign so it makes you practical and reliable, analytical and literally down-to-earth in more ways than one. You also love gardening.
Sometimes, Virgos can be health freaks bordering almost on hypochondria in their concern for their health. You may sometimes have an anxiety complex. You are really on of the workers of the world, with an ant-like industriousness. Yours is also the sign of efficiency, quiet service and help to others. In fact, you actually enjoy work and are at a loss without it.
Your attitude to sex is somewhat reversed, with your ideals of purity. On the flip side, this may occasionally make you morbid, given to perversion, difficult to please. You are critical and analytical, dissecting even those around you and putting them under a microscope; often making you not easy to live with. You may also be miserly with regard to money, though you are a wise spender.

Libra

The sign of the judge, the ambassador Personality
Diplomatic, charming, easygoing, balanced, indecisive, detached, fair-minded, alert, changeable, artful
Positive qualities
Refined and graceful, just and balanced, diplomatic, charming, intelligent, alert
Negative Qualities
Easygoing, sometimes lazy, indecisive, selfish and changeable, vacillating, detached, insincere
Personality & Character
Yours is the 7th sign of the Zodiac, which stands for both marriage and war - a strange combination. Your aggression is more on the intellectual plane, or in areas of foreign affairs, public welfare and statesmanship. Marriage covers on innate love of harmony.
You are intelligent, with great surface brilliance in your personality but this is not of the abstract kind. It needs interaction with people, person-to-person contacts, to manifest itself. At the same time the Libran love of balance and harmony creates great detachment in you. That is why, occasionally, you do not form strong and lasting attachments. In your friendships, too, after a certain point you tend to move away. You make a food friend, but not necessarily an ideal one.
Your greatest interaction is with people, as I have said earlier, as you can be very tactful, persuasive and diplomatic. You can also have the shrewdness and selfishness to bargain well. Sometimes it is difficult for you to say a firm 'no'. You must curb your tendency towards vacillation, learn to be more positive and firm otherwise you may well land yourself in some impossible situation. You may also lack the strength to stand alone, defying the world in problematic situations.
You find it difficult to find your niche in the world of employment. There are too may things that you do well, and that you want to do. Basically, however you prefer to work with people rather than alone. You also do not like to work too hard. Enough has already been said about the easygoing Libra temperament by most astrologers.
You love praise, appreciation, adulation and have fine relationships with the opposite sex. You bask in people's approval and give of your best in such situations. This makes you gullible, and occasionally susceptible to flattery.

Scorpio

The sign of the mystic, the investigator Personality
Shrewd, determined, passionate, energetic, independent, sarcastic, vindictive, intense, with much stamina, both base and noble
Positive qualities
Strong-willed, resourceful, full of self-confidence and magnetism, subtle and diplomatic, courageous, shrewd and masterful
Negative Qualities
Possesive, dominating, jealous and cunning, sarcastic, ruthless and proud, often violent
Personality & Character
Yours is the 8th sign of the Zodiac which has a lot to do with spiritualism, violence, regeneration and finance. It is a high-powered sign, giving you much intensity. The three keys to your temperament are sex, sin and salvation!
You are adventurous, a born leader who will almost always hew out a definite path and niche for yourself. Endowed with tremendous stamina and total fearlessness, you are also a ruthless adversary and adept at crushing opposition. With friends you are loyal, giving and expecting total dedication.
You are suspicious and investigative and almost impossible to deceive. You cannot tolerate any injury to pride, whether real or imagined, and can even resort to sulking if such a situation arises. You also have tremendous mind power and intuition, and are a masterly tactician but must guard against tendency to be secretive and devious. Learn to come out clean.
Spiritualism and the occult have an inherent appeal for you, yet on the other hand, despite your amazing persistence and will power there can be some very definite self-destructive influences in your life. However, a capacity for dedication is also one of your special assets, and they will help you to achieve much success, especially in the later years of your life.
You will not receive much help or co-operation from anyone; even your children give you moderate happiness owing to differences in outlook. You make a lot of enemies but they do not harm you, to any extent, only cause tension and anxiety.
You are a combination of mysticism and realism. Death has a fascination for you, and fits of gloom and melancholia are a marked nature of your sun sign yet your sign is also that of the physician, the healer and this profession will suit you greatly.

Sagittarius

The sign of the lawyer, the sage Personality
Idealistic, honest, impatient, enthusiastic, frank and fearless, ambitious, philosophical, boisterous, argumentative and impulsive
Positive qualities
Fearless and frank, sportsmanlike, independent, curious and intelligent, generous, aspiring and nature-loving
Negative Qualities
Boastful and aggressive, overconfident, prone to exaggeration, tactless, lacking in concentration, inconsistent and crude
Personality & Character
Sagittarius is the sign of good fortune, promotion, and intuition. With Jupiter ruling you, you are tremendous achievers. There is phenomenal mental activity, good fortune, much idealism. Since yours is the 9th sign of the Zodiac, your nature is definitely restless. You need to be both mentally and physically on the move. You cannot be confined or hemmed in - if so, you are bound to rebel. You are definitely not a home bird, though you appreciate the comforts of a home.
You have a great love of nature, outdoor life and animals, particularly dogs and horses. Like your sign of the archer, your actions are straight and direct and true, as also your talk. You are friendly, kind, jovial, optimistic, and versatile but tend to be cocksure and overconfident. Sometimes you are rather tactless and inconsiderate and prone to exaggeration.
You never forget a kindness and repay it graciously and completely, when the occasion arises, but you want and prize your independence above all else. You cannot be expected to be meek and submissive as this goes against your very nature.
Travel is necessary for you, as your restlessness will never let you stop being on the move, in keeping with this 9th sign of the Zodiac which makes you need a sense of freedom. The dialectic method of asking questions and analyzing the answer will influence you in all that you do, but sometimes it can make for lack of concentration and application. However, your directness is such that people always know where they stand with you.

Capricorn

The sign of the priest, the administrator Personality
Hard-headed and practical, ambitious, suspicious, resentful, diplomatic, reserved, selfish, orthodox, determined and unscrupulous
Positive qualities
Practical and efficient, steadfast, helpful, strength of character, logical, quiet and reserved, hard working
Negative Qualities
Suspicious and cold, selfish, inhibited, pessimistic, obstinate and resentful, hard-headed
Personality & Character
Overvaulting ambition, much organizing ability and tremendous energy and drive are the chief characteristics of Capricornians. Your planet, Saturn, endows you with all this but it is a hard taskmaster, so that makes you a bit heartless as well. There is a marked tendency towards self-absorption which can be a little difficult to live with.
Few signs are more influenced by their planet than Capricorn is by Saturn. It tests you in the various stages of life limiting and restricting you. However, this also makes Capricornians thrive on adversity and reap solid benefits, albeit slow ones.
It almost makes you suffer from a lot of inhibitions, making you orthodox and conservative in you outlook. You never let yourself of completely, sometimes becoming extra cautious and suspicious in the bargain. However, this does make you miss out on a lot of the fun in life.
Yours is the 10th sign of the Zodiac, standing for effort, power, authority, hard work and so money-making comes easily to you. You find no effort too great for this but you can be unscrupulous and cold in your pursuit of power and pelf. You have a slightly melancholic temperament and are not very gregarious, nor are you a very good mixer at social gatherings. Your attitude to both work and play can be rather impersonal.

Aquarius

The sign of the inventor, the seeker of truth Personality
Honest, popular, amiable, truth-seeking, hesitant, inefficient, humane yet suspicious, rebellious, intuitive, broad-minded and unbiased
Positive qualities
Honest and truth seeking, humane and caring, creative and intuitive, broad-minded, popular and amiable
Negative Qualities
Erratic and whimsical, inefficient, eccentric, changing, unconventional and rebellious, hesitant
Personality & Character
All schools to astrology agree that Aquarius is the sign of genius and creativity but they also see it as the sign of great misfortunes and suffering. Your character is distinctive in the extreme. You are the individualists of the Zodiac. Despite your undoubted intelligence, there is a great sense of hesitancy. On the one hand there is a great deal do detachment and a strong, inherent humanitarian instinct and, on the other, a robust sense of humour, which is kind, tolerant and broad-based, giving you the ability to laugh at yourself, too.
Your symbol, the water-carrier, indicates that you enrich the world with inspirations and ideas. You are the giver, rather than a taker from the world, involved in public and human welfare.
Yours, the 11th sign, is an Air sign, denoting creativity and intelligence and is also the sign of help, guidance and friendship. It brings good luck and gives you the drive to do extraordinary things.
Aquarians are charming, friendly, sociable and intuitive but can also be wayward and rebellious and, even eccentric. They can change their minds halfway through and enterprise, to the consternation of everyone, even themselves. Yet, strangely, they are slow starters and careful one. They have tremendous breadth of vision.
You can say that your motto in life is Live and let live, but you do love to put people under a microscope and observe them, whether they like it or not. You almost always have one major disappointment in the matters of the heart, leaving a wound which may never really heal, owing to the influence of Saturn. You have great discrimination and refinement of the emotions. In fact, your head almost always rules over the heard, sometimes causing the heartache to your counterpart.
You have mind-boggling enthusiasm and organizing ability but an almost clinical sense of detachment. This may often distance you from people and a sense of loneliness and sorrow may prevail.
