Chances are someone has probably asked you: What’s your sign? But what’s the big deal with zodiac signs anyway? If you don’t know anything about astrology (and I’m hoping that’s not the case by now) then identifying and understanding your zodiac sign in the first place to start. These twelve signs are core facets in astrology and can offer explanations to personality as well as clues to horoscopes.

Let’s get to know the remaining six signs:

Libra – The Scales (September 23rd – October 22nd)

Libra is ruled by the planet Venus, which represents beauty and love. People born under this sign love to be surrounded by art, culture, and beauty. They thrive in a creative environment and tend to be very charming. Libra’s symbol is the scales and its core characteristics center around fairness and balance. Communication is strong in those of this sign with little hesitation to stand up for justice or be a social butterfly. However, they cna go caught up in the moment and lose track of their responsibilities and obligations.

Scorpio – The Scorpion (October 23rd – November 22nd)

Scorpio is ruled by the planet Pluto, which represents power and control. People born under this sign tend to exhibit much intensity. The sign is associated with darkness which can come across through clothing, interests, or hobbies. They also have a powerful presence and their keen sensitivity grants them intuition – they can easily read other people’s emotions. Scorpios are fiercely loyal; however, similar to a scorpion and as the name implies, when they feel they’ve been betrayed or done wrong, they seek revenge. This sign could improve the ability to open up to others and not be so serious.

Sagittarius – The Archer (November 23nd – December 21st)

Sagittarius is ruled by the planet Jupiter, which represents energy and confidence. People born under this sign are fundamentally free-spirited. They exhibit optimism and are generally cheerful. They also tend to have a lot on their plate – juggling many projects, hobbies, and friends. Sagittarius also symbolizes wisdom and truth. Because of this, Sagittarius people are blunt. Their intentions come from a place of being truthful and straightforward; however, they can hurt the feelings of other people.

Capricorn – The Goat (December 22nd – January 19th)

Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn, which represents tough lessons and wisdom. People born under this sign are described as “old souls”. They typically play by the rules and follow tradition. Sagittarius people view life as an uphill battle for the most part and know that ulotimate reward arrives through suffering and sacrifice. This spirit in them brings about patience and dedication. In their friendships and relationships, they are fiercly loyal and hardworking.

Aquarius – The Water (January 20th – February 18th)

Aquarius is ruled by the planet Uranus, which represents independence and authenticity. Aquarius people embody this in their character with style, and even being eccentric. People of this sign are somewhat of a paradox, they are both indivualistic as well as a strong team player. Internally, they march to the beat of their own drum and like to be among people and introduce thought-provoking conversation topics.

Pisces – The Fish (February 19th – March 20th)

Pisces is ruled by the planet Neptune. They havce a complex of wanting to escape reality and find themselves lost in imagination. Emotionally, they are intuitive. This gives them insight and makes them great listeners. Their moods are intense but they have great strength. Pisces people have a way of overcoming many challenges.
