Yes, I made the title exactly the same as the other one, except it's about the positives.
Although, I am quite irritated by the fact that SE added two exclamation points in the tittle, instead of three or just one. Two exclamation points are a bit awkward for me, but oh well.

I decided to create this thread because I felt bad after what I said in the opposing thread.

Inspired by Summerlite

I'll start:
(non Sun-sign, just sign in general - it may be perceived as the Sun-sign, but that's only because of the context in which it is in)

Aries - They will defend you if someone says something mean about you or to you. Or if you're in a fight... Trust me, they got your back. If you cannot decide on something, Aries will decide for you very quick, and usually brilliantly as well.

Taurus - Taurus will make you feel stable and at ease with whatever you're going through. They will calm you down if you're in panic and figure out a simple solution to your problem. They will probably cook you up some good food at that.

Gemini - If you're feeling down, Gemini will cheer you up with their great sense of humor... Especially literary humor. If you're interested in something, Gemini will gladly talk to you about it, practical or abstract. Keep them entertained, as you will be entertained as well.

Cancer - If you're sad or need a shoulder to cry on, Cancer will help you feel better and even allow you to do that! If they love you, they will defend you at all costs, even if they need to sacrifice their own life for you. They are just sensitive and mean no harm people.

Leo - If they like you, they encourage you to shine just as bright as them in whatever you partake in. They will show you off and boast about you to people. If you need a leader, pick them, as they are great leaders and will have some really creative ideas for the team, and love you for it in the process. They have the biggest most generous hearts if they love you.

Virgo - They love to serve and help you in every way... even if you don't ask for the help. They will always be there for you. They will remember all the small things and details you said about yourself and remind you that they remember and that someone does indeed care about those things... and a lot of times, you may even forget some of those things yourself!

Libra - Someone you can bring home to Mom. They have class, and will never call you out in front of people. They are very conscious of their mannerisms and try to maintain good manners all the time. They are the romantic gentleman that will make you feel like the happiest girl in the world. They are fair and like to keep things at peace and balance. Their final decision or solution will most likely benefit everyone, as it is thought out quite well.

Scorpio - Scorpio are extremely loyal to those they love... they will never talk behind your back or stab you in the back, as long as you never deceive them... that probably wouldn't happen anyway, as Scorpio sees through you. You can talk to them about anything, personal or intellectual. If someone offends you, they will have a comeback for them and it will sure sting much worse.

Sagittarius - They can teach you a lot of things, philosophical and common knowledge. They place high values on morals and honesty, as you will never catch them lying. They can be the funnest people to be around. They will leave you feeling optimistic and jovial after each encounter with them.

Capricorn - They will give you some practical advice and perhaps provide structure and organize your life for you if they love you. They will remind you of your goals and teach you to prioritize them into a great work-ethic. If you start to slack-off and day-dream, they will bring you back to reality with some rather cold yet practical comments, but that will push you harder for the better.

Aquarius - They will shock you and keep you stimulated and entertained without even trying with their rather eccentric but ingenious ideas. Aquarius will always keep the humanitarian in you all the time with their progressive attitude for the world. (I love them for that... like, a lot) Science is their tool, ideas are their gift.

Pisces - Love has no boundaries with them... it's universal, for everyone to experience. If they have a hunch or bad feeling about something, you should trust them, as they are usually right about it. Their imaginations will be brought to reality and take you to places you could of only dreamed of, literally.

As these may not be very deep, but rather touching the surface - they are stereotypes, hence the tittle.

Hey Summerlite - I actually had much more fun while writing these, thanks for sparking my Sagittarius Jupiter
You should post one, too, just to see how good you are at finding the positives within things.

As you can see, a simple criticism can take you far. Especially if you're a Virgo/Libra

Hmm. Haven't been following the other thread, but I'll try my hand.

Aries: Fun, daring in ways the rest of us wish we were, and as much as they're quick to anger, they're also quick to get over it and forgive.

Taurus: Beautiful taste in music and art in general, lovely eyes, and very loyal.

Gemini: Smart, knowledgeable, and funny. Fun to be around.

Cancer: Nurturing, artistic, will keep a secret.

Leo: Loyal, generous, loving towards family and friends, creative.

Virgo: Nurturing, cares for small creatures and the sick/needy, objectively analytical.

Libra: Peaceful, loving, non-judgmental, easy-come/easy-go attitude, hospitable down to the core.

Scorpio: Depth and intensity are good things in my book; loyal, magnetic, and clever wit.

Sagittarius: Hilarious, fun, energetic, and often spiritual.

Capricorn: Always down for serious conversations about interesting topics. Not afraid to contemplate. Also, often more spiritual than they're given credit for.

Aquarius: Clever wit, good sense of humor, don't care about what everyone else is doing and will be themselves regardless.

Pisces: Empathetic, ethereal, creative, spiritual.

But seriously, I could relate to many of those positive stereotypes.

I think the one I'd go on about is, ironically similar to the thread that inspired this, Scorpio. I think the energy of that sign is rough, and a person with it has to be strong or they'll be twisted by it, becoming gray lizards or paranoid scorpions. Yet those who evolve are some of the most inspiring people I've met. They're not obsessed with seduction and they'd never smother anyone (though they are loyal). They can have fearless, brilliant minds.

One in particular helped me to grow as a person just through her insights while sharing cynical humor with me. She saw the potential to transform individuals and the world, she wasn't just a Phoenix, she was a person who could help others not a Scorpio to become something like Phoenixes themselves. But you'd never know it unless you got to know her well, and you wouldn't get to know her well unless she let you, which meant she thought you were a Phoenix or were ready to become one, and/or you could help her on her own path of enlightenment. She was cautious, not paranoid, and loyal, not smothering, and protective, not vengeful. And she held sex to be sacred, it wasn't something she pursued much at all (nor did most pursue it with her though she looked good, IMO, in addition to being good to be around, and yet I was never attracted to her that way), though she could tell you some stories if you brought it up...

That aside, I've met the more toxic kinds as well (my mom is one), and I don't know why people actually desire that, like moths to a flame I guess, or another way to self-harm. And I can understand why SE would want people to stop associating him with that stereotype, especially if they were to become weirdly attracted to him simply because he was born a Scorpio (especially as that's shallow and most Scorpios hate shallowness).

Yeah, it's fair in my book

As everyone has their positives and negatives, which fill in gaps in which others could not.

I've said all of this before, but since I have Gemini Mars, I don't mind repeating myself.

Aries: Doers, get the job done, usually with an artistic flair. I think they don't get enough credit for that. I love how Aries women dress and accessorize. I love being in Aries homes because they are beautiful, fun, and painted all the right colors.

Taurus: I second what Violets said, they have nice eyes. I like their steady gaze and the fact that they don't fake smile. Or if they do, they make it SO fake, it's like they're saying, "Don't be fooled by this fake smile." You can read them pretty well by their facial expressions. There's a high level of honesty there.

Gemini: Can synthesize many disparate parts into a cohesive whole. Some people didn't even realize they were puzzle pieces until the Gemini came along and assembled it all together.

Cancer: Insightful, can take your emotional pulse and offer feedback about things other people never noticed about you. Sometimes I don't especially like it when they do this... o_O ...but it's neat that they can.

Leo: The ones I have known are as reliable as clockwork. If I call, they call back. If I write, they write back. Whatever level of effort I devote to them, they devote right back. So...<3

Virgo: Magical. I mean that.

Libra: Elegant, like a chandelier hanging above the room, lighting it up. So what if they don't want to get their hands dirty talking in depth with you? They are shining on you. That's improvement right there.

Scorpio: World's best authors. Give me a book by a Scorpio and I'm happy.

Sag: Oh wait. They are also the world's best authors. And what MercuranianIntellect said.

Cap: Thank you Violets for noticing my golden aura Nobody else seems to.

Seriously, though...everyone complains that Capricorns only want nice cars but no one complains when Cappy offers to pick you up in their nice car and drive you to a nice restaurant and pay for your dinner and flashily tip the waiter extra just to show off to you...all of that because they love you.

Nobody complains about that.

Aquarius: These people just throw a monkey wrench at convention and conformity, and I am cheering for their cause, happily watching the sparks fly.

Pisces:

That's all I can say. I literally get choked up thinking about how much my Pisces friends have done for me, and stood by me through thick and thin, all these years.

Thank you. Someone finally pointed that out. Almost no one mentions how artistic aries are, and how some of the most famous artists are aries.

I want to add: Aries are very private people. Not an open book. We are clear in our motives, yes, but I bet you know anything that we had chosen not to show.I actually try my best to keep my life low key.

Yaaay now I can post on both threads, haha.

Aries people have good advice, are intelligent, great at self expression and very understanding. They are true optimists.

Taurus people love to be surrounded by what they love most.

Geminis are very friendly and fun to be around.

Cancers are good at making sure the ones they love are happy and comfortable. They are great to have on your team because they will want everyone to know they are loved and cared for.

Leos are good at endearing themselves to others. They are usually popular.

Virgos are crafty thinkers.

Libras do best in one on one relationships where they can focus on another where they shine.

Scorpios are steady and dependable. They like to help others.

Sagittarius are good at games of all kinds.

Capricorns like to manage and boss and are truly happy there.

Aquarius likes to march to their own drummer, very independent.

Pisces are creative, very devout to what they believe in, are fun to be around, very intelligent and streetwise.

--Hey, I love Cap's, they are just misunderstood. You're right though, you can tell how they feel about you by their actions. They can be really thoughtful too by randomly surprising you with a gift of your favourite food/item. At least, the Caps I know do this.

Okay, now the good list. Maybe I can redeem myself for such harsh statements on the other thread.

Aries: Never boring. When they invite you out, you never have to worry about vacillating over what to do; Aries already has several good ideas. They have amazing reflexes. If you accidentally step into the street, they have you by the arm and back on the sidewalk before you realize what happened. Time with Aries feels like you two make up a special team. Aries want you to leave your baggage at the door and just be a kid… After all, that is your true nature.

Taurus: Reliable. They always know how to touch, it’s just instinctive. They see subtle worth and beauty. They spoil the people they love. They never tire of something good. They are fearless when they are determined. Taurus will always be there for you. They get joy out of making others feel good. When they make plans, no expense is spared. They want to make the people they love as comfortable and happy as possible.

Gemini: Conversations never die. If you are afraid your conversation with Gemini is going to die, just wait for them to finish their thought and respond with, “Why?”… Conversation saved. They are fun to just chat about whatever with. You can rarely say something that shocks them; in fact, they will elaborate on your twisted ideas. Stimulating, interested, and interesting. Genuinely fun to be around. Gemini wants to bask in the light of life and invite as many people as possible to enjoy the experience. They care about others liking them and will genuinely feel bad for hurting others. They are trusting without being naive. Gemini couldn't carry a grudge if it was tied to their hands.

Cancer: Caring, investigative of other’s feelings, romantic, wildly creative. Warm and able to convey love without words or material offerings. Protective, resourceful, and will make you feel like you are the only person in the world they care about. Honest about what they like and dislike. Create unique bonds with each person they know, based on emotional chemistry. Cook and give of their selves with love.

Leo: Brave. They have your back. Even if they are bound to lose the fight, Leo will stand between a victim and a bully. Appreciates the brilliance in others. Can party all night and go to work without sleep. Energetically flirtatious/able to inspire feelings in others energetically. Can have inherent genius. Capable of both savage presence and pure gentleness. Can play in the mud all day and then attend an elegant dinner party that night. Overwhelmingly insightful, loyal, giving, and considerate. Respectful.

Virgo: Will give everything and more to a worthy cause. Fastidious about their loved one’s well-being. Salt of the earth. Resilient. Take mental notes about little things and then use that information as a way to show you are important to them. Realistic. Responsible. Vulnerable without fishing for attention. Helpful. Self-sufficient. Strives to do whatever they are doing, with the best possible results.

Libra: Enchanting. Chivalrous, thoughtful, and fair. Will walk between you and traffic on the sidewalk. Creative. Libra is able to wear their personality like an outfit and change depending on their environment. This does not mean Libra is fake though, instead, they understand the personality is an experiential tool. Pleasant. Protects the innocent. Capable of deep humility and quietude. Beautiful.

Scorpio: True. Capable of seeing the hidden sides of others, even the things people hide from their selves. Capable of receiving insane amounts of (extra)sensory information at once. Connects with others so deeply that disconnection is painful. Capable of manipulating others into better states of consciousness. Has more experience than most people their age. Protective.

Sagittarius: Uplifting, divinely protected and shares that invincibility with everyone close to them. Insightful and capable of foresight based on trajectory. Learns from other’s mistakes. Able to transform dark energy to light wherever their influence extends. Loves making things happy. Will somehow make the impossible, possible. Genuinely seeks answers for the benefit of everyone. No sense of material ownership and therefor abundantly giving. Honest, because a small sting now, is vaccination from a life-threatening mistake later.

Capricorn: Resourceful. Will go through hell and back for the well-being of others. Highly intuitive and in-tune with their spirit/beliefs. Able to shoulder practically any task. Deliberate. Aware of how others see them and want that image to be good. Determined to do things right the first time. Appreciates true effort. Once Capricorn understands something, it is never misunderstood.

Aquarius: Imaginative. Unfettered by the judgments of others. Genuinely unique for their own sake. Open-minded. Humanist. Fun to act silly with. Able to see others as vast thought-beings. Challenge everything, settle for nothing. Loves others for the things society rejects. Willing to drop everything and write a completely new life story with the people they love.

Pisces: Gentle. Give completely of their selves, body and soul. Fun to adventure with. Will love you unconditionally. Exploratory. Able to share other’s emotional burdens and lighten their load. Highly protective of their loved ones. Value the humanity of animals and the animal nature of humans. Much deeper than they present their selves. Forgiving, humanitarian, and peace loving. Able to bring about great results by messing with subtle energies. The Fairy Godmother of the zodiac.

@vickymadness:
My pleasure, and I agree about Aries and their privacy. Both of my Aries brothers are reserved and rather difficult to get to know.

@CanadianGirl:
Thanks very much for noticing, about Capricorn.

@Xiiro:
You make people sound so beautiful! I love humanity more this morning, after reading this.
