What are Zodiacs?
Lilith Roberts - 10/27/21
By definition, a zodiac is, “a belt of the heavens within about 8° either side of the ecliptic, including all apparent positions of the sun, moon, and most familiar planets. It is divided into twelve equal divisions or signs (Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces).” As stated, there are twelve “equal divisions” or signs, as most people call them. Each person has a sign based on their birthday. Most people don’t even know their zodiac sign, which is crazy to me because I love them. Now, I know the stigma against people who believe in zodiacs, but hear me out before you judge me. I don’t wake up every morning and think to myself, “Oh, since I’m a Scorpio today I will respond to everyone how a Scorpio would.” No. No one does that(I hope.) However, when I read about Scorpios for the first time, everything matched my personality. I am driven by power, I want to lead, and random stuff like "don’t get on my bad side or you’ll regret it". Now, if you’ve never read about yours, see if it matches up!

If you're an Aquarius you are progressive, humanitarian, independant and original. These people like to fight for a good cause, but can be very shy and scared to show their personality at times. They are deep thinkers and intellectual people. One thing I love about Aquarius people is that they are able to see people without prejudice and therefore can hear nearly anyone out in any type of situation. Some weaknesses are that they run from emotional expression. They are very sensitive and sometimes don't want to explain why they have a certain opinion which makes them uncompromisable. They can also be temperamental and aloof, which means they can be hard to approach. A good reset for an Aquarius is time alone to repower. They need open and honest people in their life.
February 19- March 20
Element: Water
Greatest Compatibility: Virgo, Taurus
Lucky Numbers: 3, 9, 12, 15, 18, 24
I have quite a few Pisces in my life, so this sign is very known to me. Like every zodiac, there are many types of Pisces that all differ slightly, but at their core, are the same. Pisces are very compassionate, artistic, wise, intuitive, and gentle. All of the Pisces in my life are very stubborn and will go down swinging even when they're wrong. However, Pisces are very friendly and good at being friends with many different types of people. They understand life to a full extent and will be selfless to help others. Pisces are good empaths as long as they don't overwhelm themselves with outside emotions. Other weaknesses are being fearful, being overly trusting, sad, and having the desire to escape reality. They can also be a victim or martyr which means they can often throw pity parties for themselves and suffer greatly.
March 21- April 19
Element: Fire
Greatest Compatibility: Libra, Leo
Lucky Numbers: 1, 8, 17
Aries signs are courageous, determined, confident, enthusiastic, optimistic, honest, and passionate. This sign likes physical challenges, leadership roles, and comfort. This sign is very efficient and energetic. They constantly want to be moving with great speed and competition. This sign will take action before they even know it. This efficiency can sometimes make them impatient, aggressive and point anger at other people. It can be good to have an Aries on your side though because they like to share the wealth. Aries like to share their power, position, and strength with others or they feel there is no point in having it. Their weaknesses are being impatient, moody, short-tempered, impulsive, and aggressive. They hate inactivity and not using their talents to their full potential.
April 20- May 20
Element: Earth
Greatest Compatibility: Scorpio, Cancer
Lucky Numbers: 2, 6, 9, 12, 24
The Taurus is very reliable, patient, practical, devoted, responsible, and stable. They like working with their hands, cooking, romance, music, and gardening. This sign is very well-grounded and loves to be surrounded by love/beauty. If you're a Taurus you may feel that touch and taste are the most important senses. These people stick by their decisions until the end and like to feel personal satisfaction. Similar to Pisces, Taurus are very stubborn. They are also uncompromising and can be possessive at times. If you are a Taurus you may feel that you aren't stubborn, but more committed. A Taurus finds it easy to make money and stay on the same project until it is fully finished. This sign dislikes change, complications, and insecurity of any kind.
May 21- June 20
Element: Air
Greatest Compatibility: Sagittarius, Aquarius
Lucky Numbers: 5, 7, 14, 23
Gemini signs are often hated signs because of their inability to be decisive and consistent. However, they are gentle, affectionate, curious, adaptable, and can learn quickly. They can have a good conversation with nearly anyone and their music taste is exquisite. Gemini are naturally nervous people in many situations. They hate being alone, confined, and hate repetition and routine. Geminis are expressive and quick-witted, which means they can think on their toes. When you hear Gemini you often think of twins or two, and this sign emulates that meaning as well. A Gemini often has two sides to their personality and you never know what you might get!
June 21 -July 22
Element: Water
Greatest Compatibility: Capricorn, Taurus
Lucky Numbers: 2, 3, 15, 20
Cancers are one of the most loyal signs. Sympathetic, emotional, and persuasive, this zodiac feels very deeply and can have great conversations. They are tenacious yet very imaginative which makes it hard for them to blend into the world around them. Family means a lot for Cancers. If you have ever tried to get to know a Cancer, you may have found it difficult because they are intuitive and sentimental. Weaknesses of the Cancer include being moody, pessimistic, suspicious, manipulative, and insecure. They don't like strangers and when people reveal their personal life. Don't criticize their Mom or you'll regret it. They love art, home-based hobbies, helping loved ones, and having a good meal with friends.
July 23 - August 22
Element: Fire
Greatest Compatibility: Aquarius, Gemini
Lucky Numbers: 1, 3, 10, 19
Leos are awesome. My best friend is a Leo and I know many others as well. They love attention and are very passionate. Generous, a Leo is a great friend to have. Creative and warm-hearted, they love holidays, being admired, expensive things, bright colors, and fun with friends. Leos hate being ignored and not being treated like a king or queen. At times Leos can be arrogant, stubborn, self-centered, and lazy. Don't let these weaknesses turn you away, Leos love to laugh and be intimate with friends and loved ones. They are in constant search of self-fulfillment and ways to become better.
August 23 - September 22
Element: Earth
Greatest Compatibility: Pisces, Cancer
Lucky Numbers: 5, 14, 15, 23, 32
Virgos are one of the most practically driven signs. Always working and never playing, they are very critical of others which makes them hated in the astrology world. This sign is very loyal, analytical, kind ,and hardworking. They are shy creatures which makes them worry frequently. Self-reliant, Virgos hate asking for help and won't tolerate rudeness. They love nature, animals, good food and leaving nothing up to chance. Often misunderstood, Virgos have trouble expressing themselves and leave their heart closed off to almost everyone. Loyal and putting others first, if you can manage to get a Virgo to open up, they can be the best friend.
September 23 - October 22
Element: Air
Greatest Compatibility: Aries, Sagittarius
Lucky Numbers: 4, 6, 13, 15, 24
Libra is another very compassionate sign. Always putting others first, Libras are generous and peaceful to be around. If you are a Libra you may feel drained often and like you just give, give and give. This is what Libras do best, so you need to remember to take time for yourself to reset. Cooperative, diplomatic, gracious, fair-minded, and social are a few traits of theirs. Being constantly drained from giving this sign is a self-pity-party-thrower and will carry a grudge if you wrong them. They are indecisive and avoid confrontation at all costs. This makes them hate violence, injustice, loudmouths, and conformity. All of this plays together and makes sense when you hear that they love harmony, gentleness, sharing with others, and the outdoors. Hating to be alone, Libras are constantly looking for their partner, someone who is much like them and can be just as generous as they can. If you want to please a Libra be generous and give them rich time with you. Seeing beautiful art, music and sights will do wonders with them.
October 23 - November 21
Element: Water
Greatest Compatibility: Taurus, Cancer
Lucky Numbers: 8, 11, 18, 22
Scorpios are a very strong sign, as I would know. They are powerful, brave, resourceful, passionate, and a true friend. We Scorpios love to be right and use facts and the truth to get there. If you have a Scorpio friend you might have experienced teasing before. Passionate, Scorpios love to be talented and love others who have talent. Don't get on a Scorpio's bad side or you won't ever get off of it! They can be distrusting, manipulative, violent, and jealous. Scorpios hate small talk, superficiality, dishonesty, and revealing secrets. Something you rarely see from other zodiacs, a Scorpio's focus and determination is unmatched. They are assertive, natural-born leaders. A great secret keeper, Scorpios are a great friend and will do anything for you if you are someone they tie themselves to. If you are a Scorpio you may feel that you have a deep understanding of the world and it makes others see you as mysterious and hard to figure out.
November 22 - December 21
Element: Fire
Greatest Compatibility: Gemini, Aries
Lucky Numbers: 3, 7, 9, 12, 21
Sagittarius is another highly generous sign. They are idealistic people and have a great sense of humor. They love traveling, freedom philosophy, and being outdoors. If you ever want to go on a road trip, your Sag friend is the one to do it with. However, Sagittarius can promise more than they can fulfill, are very impatient, and will say anything no matter how non-diplomatic. Being insensitive this way, they hate clingy people, being constrained, and too many details. If you know a Sag you may sometimes feel unloved by them, but know it's nothing personal, they just aren't the feely type. A Sagittarius wants to help build the world and learn new things while giving their knowledge to others. If you are a Sag you may feel like you're always in search of the meaning of life. Keep looking and being open to changes and you'll find it.
December 22 - January 19
Element: Earth
Greatest Compatibility: Taurus, Cancer
Lucky Numbers: 4, 8, 13, 22
Capricorn are one of the most responsible signs, and if you have a Cap friend you probably already know this because they keep your life together for you. Being disciplined, having good self-control, and being good managers, Caps can come off as boring and seem like they do nothing for fun. Capricorns are good friends because they are defensive and caring. They can be stubborn and rude at times because it's hard for them to understand someone else's views if they are too different from their own. Capricorns love family, tradition, music, understated status, and quality craftsmanship. Being negative and not understanding they are known to hate everything at some point. They are self-reliant and possess an inner of independence which helps them make progress often in their personal and professional life.
