Most people are aware of the astrological sign of their birthday and how it affects them. You may not know that we are influenced many of the zodiac personalities to form you as a whole. For more information on this and how it affects you personally, search for a natal chart reading on google. I used www.cafeastrology.com to make them free for myself and loved ones. It has led me to do research to clarify what different things in the chart mean.
I have re-worded most of this to explain the zodiacs as an energy embodied by a symbol that can effect our choices and lifestyle.
My understanding so far is that I am a Libra (how i know myself),
my moon (emotions) are represented by Capricorn,
and sun (image i project) is represented by Virgo, modified to appear Leo. This goes much farther in depth and Its crazy how accurate it can be.

Zodiac Elements
Found at https://astrostyle.com/learn-astrology/the-elements-fire-earth-air-and-water-signs/
The Fire Signs: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Like fire itself, fire signs tend to be passionate, dynamic, and temperamental. Fire can keep you warm, or it can do great destruction. While fire burns out quickly without fuel to keep it going, it can also regenerate its power from the ashes. A single spark can set off a forest fire. As a result, fire signs need to be nurtured and managed carefully.
The Air Signs: Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Air signs are all about action, ideas, and motion—they are the “winds of change.” When a strong gust hits you, you can’t help but move. While some within their ranks may be true-life “airheads,” others are as powerful as a gravity-defying G-force. Air signs bring everyone a breath of fresh air when things start to get stale. Like the breeze, you can’t quite catch them, and you never know where they’ll drop you once they sweep you up. It will almost always been an adventure, though.
The Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Earth signs keep it real. They are the “grounded” people on the planet, the ones who bring us down to earth and remind us to start with a solid foundation. Slow and steady, these “builders” are loyal and stable, and stick by their people through hard times. On good days, they’re practical; at worst, they can be materialistic or too focused on the surface of things to dig into the depths.
The Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio Pisces
Intuitive, emotional and ultra-sensitive, water signs can be as mysterious as the ocean itself. Like water, they can be refreshing, or they can drown you in their depths. These signs often have intense dreams and borderline-psychic intuition. Security is important to them—after all, water needs a container, or it dries up and disappears.

ARIES
WHAT IS ARIES PERSONALITY?
At their core, Aries do what they want and do things their way. As the youngest of the zodiacs, they are unafraid of conflict, highly competitive, honest and direct. Aries is not weighed down by the freedom of choice, and is perhaps the sign that is least conflicted about what they want. They throw themselves at the world eagerly and without fear. It is one of their most commendable qualities, but also what can cause them a great deal of pain and grief.
Aries are driven by a desire to prove themselves and their strength. They naturally take charge and are competitive and ambitious. Aries are spontaneous and courageous. They have a sense of adventure and love to explore. They’re determined and bold, and are good at initiating new projects. They have high energy and can initiate quick actions. They can also be impatient, but are naturally active and don’t like to waste time.
While Aries like competition, they don’t like to play games. They are highly self-aware, have strong opinions and are always ready to defend them.

Taurus
WHAT IS TAURUS PERSONALITY?
Taurus is the human equivalent of moss. A handmade wooden chair. They are normally satisfied with the way things are. They embody stability. Sitting in a patch of grass admiring the breeze. When everything else seems to be falling apart, Taurus is an oasis of calm, a rock of dependability. Practical knowledge and experience is their modus operandi.
Taurus is oriented around the physical world. It tends to be grounded and logical, loves routine and is committed to its own comfort. It likes to be in control. It is patient and steady, and its materialism is an extension of its pursuit of stability.
Once it gets into a groove, it’s difficult to get out of it. Object in motion stays in motion. Object at rest stays at rest. Appreciative of beauty. Attuned to physical pleasure. Likes things to be predictable. Perfectly happy eating the same meal over and over, or wearing the same outfit for a week straight. It would prefer things be consistent than chaotically good. Taurus likes to discover what they have the most fun doing, and then do it to the extreme.
Taurus has a regal quality about it. Graceful and diligent laborers but can be stubborn, bull-headed, and set in its ways, but also a great listener and very dependable.
Taurus can absolutely go on forever. Like a machine, it never feels fatigued. And no matter what is thrown at it, it will inevitably overcome any obstacles because it has already prepared for every contingency. The hand-built truck that will never break down it is the bulletproof vest that never rips.

GEMINI
WHAT IS GEMINI PERSONALITY?
Gemini is very intelligent and quick to pick up knowledge. It is perceptive, analytical, and often very funny. It has an unreserved and childlike curiosity, always asking new questions.
Gemini has an uncanny ability to size up a person’s character in a matter of seconds, even if they only just met them. If someone’s bluffing, it will be the first to notice. It is a great communicator, very responsive and a sensitive listener.
Gemini is versatile, comfortable being both an introvert and extrovert. It is quick to adapt to the energy of a room. It can be the life of the party or a complete wallflower. It knows how to bring dissimilar people together and make them get along.

CANCER
WHAT IS CANCER PERSONALITY?
A Cancer personality is like wading chest deep in a lake of warm water. It feels sparkling and cool while it’s touching the body, but you know that if you were to dive in, it would feel warm.
Cancer self-awareness is like the tides. Constantly moving in and out of focus, its personality is layered. It has many moods, some of which are contradictory, but it also has a deep, core self that persists.
Cancer is weighed down by its own sorrows and the sorrows of those around them. It is frequently haunted by grief. It’s hard for Cancer to share its pain with others, and it is often afraid to be vulnerable because it carries a fear that people will use its weaknesses against it. Cancer has learned to hide its pain to avoid burdening anyone else. It pretends it's okay when it's not.
Its emotions are like an exposed nerve. It can feel everything. It's like a tuning fork that vibrates at the slightest provocation. It tends to carry deep grudges because it can’t forget the emotional sting of a slight. This and more found at www.costarastrology.com/zodiac-signs/cancer-sign.
LEO
WHAT IS LEO PERSONALITY?
Leo is bold, warm, and loving. It is also the ultimate showman. It can dazzle with the theatrical flair of a Broadway star and the charisma of a politician. With a captivating personality it has a way with words, and can speak eloquently on just about any topic, no matter how quickly it has been introduced to it.
Leo injects ambition into everything it does. It is ruled by the heart. It is brash and confident and trusts in its instincts. Its actions are natural and effortless.
Leo has an unrelenting appetite for growth that is easily satiated by the praise from others. When it is hurting, it shows. It will use its anger as a protective wall to shield its vulnerabilities. It wants to be perceived as unbreakable because it is scared of admitting vulnerability, needing things from other people, and being incomplete. This and more found at www.costarastrology.com/zodiac-signs/leo-sign.
VIRGO
WHAT IS VIRGO PERSONALITY?
Virgo is known for being a perfectionist. A clean freak. Known for their attention to detail, it can find patterns where there are none. It can be finicky and critical to a fault.
It’s true that Virgo is very particular, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that it keep neat spaces. Its particularities and habits don’t necessarily line up with traditional views of cleanliness. It could live in what looks like a Tasmanian devil-style dust storm ruin, but still impose a “no shoes in the house” or “no outside clothes on the bed” rule. Maybe its house looks cluttered, but it still knows where everything is. Everything has its place. Virgo prefers to exist in organized spaces, but put their service orientation over its own comfort. This can mean that Virgo is too busy fixing the lives of those around them to put much work into providing for its own needs. It is rarely motivated by its own self-interest.
Virgo is also known for being intelligent, but because of its introverted nature it can sometimes have trouble expressing itself. Talking to Virgo may feel like floating on the surface of existence, and like you never know what it's thinking and feeling deep inside. Its emphasis on thoughts and ideas can seem like a cover-up for its lack of emotional depth. In reality, it is a fortress unto itself—the definition of self-containment. Virgo will be endlessly accepting of whatever you have to share, but may not see the value in spontaneously performing a similar excavation of itself from anyone else. More at www.costarastrology.com/zodiac-signs/virgo-sign.
LIBRA
WHAT IS LIBRA PERSONALITY?
Libra is difficult to really understand because it seems very contradictory on the surface. It is simultaneously extroverted and introverted, strategic and spontaneous, focused and intuitive. This variability makes it difficult to pin down its true character. It is an entire constellation of personalities. Libra is different depending on who it's around.
This is because Libra values empathy. It is receptive and can be other people’s mirrors. Because of this, it has strong opinions about others, but takes a long time to understand itself.
It wants to be admired, not for its talents but for its charm. It wants to be seen as the responsible figure who can balance out the turbulent elements around it. Libra feels an intense amount of guilt and shame when it is unhappy because it knows that its unhappiness affects everyone around it.
This and more found at www.costarastrology.com/zodiac-signs/libra-sign.
SCORPIO
WHAT IS SCORPIO PERSONALITY?
The Scorpio personality is a profound chasm of infinite complexity (or at least how it projects itself). It is a difficult personality for others to get to know. It is a psychological trap door. Scorpio socializes from behind a double-sided mirror, always scanning, reading others while they can only see their own reflection. It prefers to be the one asking the questions. It removes others skin with its perceptive scalpel and takes inventory of their pulsing viscera. It probes and pushes. It knows the little things that make others tick. Their pressure points. The subtle ways to procure the answer it is seeking. It is keenly aware of its power, flows, and position within its matrix.
Despite its ability to be generally popular, there’s something very lonely about Scorpio. It has a ruthless view of the world. Eat or be eaten. Every interaction is a meeting of opposing powerful forces. A clashing of wants and needs where somebody wins and somebody loses. Its knowledge of other’s internal structures gives them an edge over competition. It knows how to play others against each other. It is forthcoming and evasive at the same time, depending on what is situationally beneficial. It is blunt, but not tactlessly so. It is intentional about the information they reveal. It is not a liar, it does not espouse falsehoods, but it is a master of opening windows on certain truths while concealing others behind heavy curtains.
This and more found at www.costarastrology.com/zodiac-signs/scorpio-sign.
SAGITTARIUS
WHAT IS SAGITTARIUS PERSONALITY?
Sagittarius is the ultimate empiricist. It will always choose principles over feelings and will often question who it is. It moves from job to job, philosophy to philosophy, belief to belief. Explorers of the human condition and unafraid of change, Sagittarius feels like the world is its playground. It loves to explore the unknown and wants to understand how the world works.
On an unbounded quest to discover the whole of the universe inside of itself, Sagittarius is unshackled from any particular worldly attachment. It is reckless in its pursuit of what it wants, and often ends up doing and experiencing things that defy conceptions of the possible.
Sagittarius is an explorer. Both the fearless adventurer and the jaded critic, it understands that knowledge comes in two forms: the shallow, disposable kind that comes from external sources, and the kind that comes from within. Sagittarius knows that external knowledge can be easily gained while internal knowledge is exponentially deeper and more powerful. Its on a quest to delve into the depths of the universe inside the human mind. It doesn't do this to prove that it has all the answers, but instead because it knows that the journey is the destination.

CAPRICORN
WHAT IS CAPRICORN PERSONALITY?
Capricorn is a master of discipline. The wringing of the hands, the constant reminders, the exacting structure, the ever-increasing goals, the tidal wave of self-criticism that lasts forever. It is the ultimate perfectionist. It can be so absorbed in its own internal monologue that it becomes impossible to get it to look away from itself. Capricorn is often called a “workaholic.”
It is an incredibly pragmatic rule follower with a highly developed moral compass. From a young age it is impressed upon it that its whole sense of worth and meaning is based on its ability to hunker down and force its way to the finish. This turns it into an achievement junkie. Its drive to succeed is a reflection of its fear of failure. The most stressful time in a Capricorn’s life is when it questions its own authority. When Capricorn is in a position of power, it is most stable. When it's put in a position where they have to cater to someone else’s agenda, it can become a little unhinged.
Capricorn collects responsibility. And it always seems to take it all on. Capricorn needs to be the one to fix everything. Responsibility is its natural state. It has a “can do” attitude. It is the martyr and the champion, the guardian and the judge, the team captain, the chief of chiefs, the general, the leader. But even as it leads the charge, Capricorn can feel like the loneliest zodiac in the world. It wishes to be completely self-sufficient, and is scared of depending on others.

AQUARIUS
WHAT IS AQUARIUS PERSONALITY?
Aquarius is the archetypical outcast. This doesn’t mean it is a loner. In fact, it thrives in large groups—charming you with its peculiar senses of humor, intriguing you with fun facts about the history of disposable straws, or convincing you to join its reading group. The alienation it feels is often self-imposed—a result of its knee-jerk contrarianism, rather than a lack of social intelligence. It tries to be weird. It hangs grapefruit rinds from the wall and calls it art, it pretends to actually like noise music, it saturates its internal monologues with SAT words.
“Intelligence,” to Aquarius, means the ability to formulate the most unpopular opinion possible. If it were a white sheep, it’d dye its wool black just to prove a point. It is destined to live its life in direct opposition to the current world. In fact, it is a world-builder. An entire universe exists in its head, and this universe adheres to its own set of logic that doesn’t map onto reality. It is not a liar. It is a utopian. It is not cold. It is rational. To it, emotions are just holes in their idealistic vessels. Why succumb to sensitivity when there is so much knowledge to acquire, so many problems to be solved and worlds to invent?
It sometimes asks itself, “Why can’t I be normal?” but in reality, it finds normalcy boring, and it stakes its self worth on its ability to be interesting. It wants to be unknowable, to evade definition. Definitions are binding little rules that others use to restrict its movement, and it must resist anything that infringes on its freedom to drift. Between definitions, between the individual and the common, between itself and humanity. The ultimate Aquarian struggle is resolving the tension between its need for community, and its need for complete detachment.
Aquarius is always running little tests. It lives its life as one big science experiment, using the element of surprise to collect reactions and construct theories about the intricacies of human nature. It is a walking abstract art piece, shattering traditional perspectives with its complete disregard for convention. It is a martyr to the cause of “humanity”, and “freedom” is its only demand.

PISCES
WHAT IS PISCES PERSONALITY?
Describing a Pisces personality can be difficult because Pisces tends to evade distinction. Its behavior changes significantly based on who they’re around. Pisces is just a permeable membrane that pensively let things flow through it. It is a cerebral sea sponge that is boundless. It tends to dilute itself with larger personalities to avoid having to form a coherent identity.
Most of the qualities usually associated with Pisces (dreaminess, emotionality, imagination) are internal processes that are difficult to observe from the outside. This is because Pisces is primarily inward-facing. It is not self-absorbed, but it is absorbed in itself.
Ultimately, Pisces wants to dissolve. To wrest itself a physical form and diffuse into everything it touches as love. To exist in the gossamer liminal layer that hangs just barely above the material. To live its life like a romantic poem. To understand that reality and fantasy are neighbors on the same infinite plane.

It is the ultimate perfectionist. It can be so absorbed in its own internal monologue that it becomes impossible to get it to look away from itself. Capricorn is often called a “workaholic.”
It is an incredibly pragmatic rule follower with a highly developed moral compass. From a young age it is impressed upon it that its whole sense of worth and meaning is based on its ability to hunker down and force its way to the finish. This turns it into an achievement junkie. Its drive to succeed is a reflection of its fear of failure. The most stressful time in a Capricorn’s life is when it questions its own authority. When Capricorn is in a position of power, it is most stable. When it's put in a position where they have to cater to someone else’s agenda, it can become a little unhinged.
Capricorn collects responsibility. And it always seems to take it all on. Capricorn needs to be the one to fix everything. Responsibility is its natural state. It has a “can do” attitude. It is the martyr and the champion, the guardian and the judge, the team captain, the chief of chiefs, the general, the leader. But even as it leads the charge, Capricorn can feel like the loneliest zodiac in the world. It wishes to be completely self-sufficient, and is scared of depending on others.

WHAT IS AQUARIUS PERSONALITY?
Aquarius is the archetypical outcast. This doesn’t mean it is a loner. In fact, it thrives in large groups—charming you with its peculiar senses of humor, intriguing you with fun facts about the history of disposable straws, or convincing you to join its reading group. The alienation it feels is often self-imposed—a result of its knee-jerk contrarianism, rather than a lack of social intelligence. It tries to be weird. It hangs grapefruit rinds from the wall and calls it art, it pretends to actually like noise music, it saturates its internal monologues with SAT words.
“Intelligence,” to Aquarius, means the ability to formulate the most unpopular opinion possible. If it were a white sheep, it’d dye its wool black just to prove a point. It is destined to live its life in direct opposition to the current world. In fact, it is a world-builder. An entire universe exists in its head, and this universe adheres to its own set of logic that doesn’t map onto reality. It is not a liar. It is a utopian. It is not cold. It is rational. To it, emotions are just holes in their idealistic vessels. Why succumb to sensitivity when there is so much knowledge to acquire, so many problems to be solved and worlds to invent?
It sometimes asks itself, “Why can’t I be normal?” but in reality, it finds normalcy boring, and it stakes its self worth on its ability to be interesting. It wants to be unknowable, to evade definition. Definitions are binding little rules that others use to restrict its movement, and it must resist anything that infringes on its freedom to drift. Between definitions, between the individual and the common, between itself and humanity. The ultimate Aquarian struggle is resolving the tension between its need for community, and its need for complete detachment.
Aquarius is always running little tests. It lives its life as one big science experiment, using the element of surprise to collect reactions and construct theories about the intricacies of human nature. It is a walking abstract art piece, shattering traditional perspectives with its complete disregard for convention. It is a martyr to the cause of “humanity”, and “freedom” is its only demand.

WHAT IS PISCES PERSONALITY?
Describing a Pisces personality can be difficult because Pisces tends to evade distinction. Its behavior changes significantly based on who they’re around. Pisces is just a permeable membrane that pensively let things flow through it. It is a cerebral sea sponge that is boundless. It tends to dilute itself with larger personalities to avoid having to form a coherent identity.
Most of the qualities usually associated with Pisces (dreaminess, emotionality, imagination) are internal processes that are difficult to observe from the outside. This is because Pisces is primarily inward-facing. It is not self-absorbed, but it is absorbed in itself.
Ultimately, Pisces wants to dissolve. To wrest itself a physical form and diffuse into everything it touches as love. To exist in the gossamer liminal layer that hangs just barely above the material. To live its life like a romantic poem. To understand that reality and fantasy are neighbors on the same infinite plane.
