second sign of the western zodiac, ruled by the planet Venus, and known as a fixed sign. For these people, the winds cannot change their course for a decision has been made up and a Taurus will not back down. Some may find these people to be quite stubborn, but behind a rough exterior can lie a vulnerable being behind a facade of strength. They are like a castle, with walls to protect the precious valuables within. A Taurus a very decorated person, and they love to have the best things in life. You will never see a Taurus looking his or her worst, they always love to look prestigious. Many Taureans are unpretentious, but their appearance may not convey that message; in fact, Taureans can be very generous and affectionate to their loved ones. Slow and steady is a Taurus way of life, and they will work hard if they have to get what they want, and what they want are sensual delights. Ruled by Venus, Taureans display affection in low-key but very endearing ways, and a Taurean’s sexuality is very expressive as well. Although a Taurus may have an idealized concept of beauty, love and other expectations, all in all they are still earth signs and can remain grounded when necessary. It would be best for a Taurus to find a lover who is well-dressed, well-groomed, and is able to lavish a Taurus partner with luxury.

Same in regards to female Taurus In return, a Taurus will give his or her undying affection and loyalty.

Virgo

The sixth sign of the western zodiac. This sign is associated with self-perfection altruism, honesty, cleanliness, reliability, modesty, and shrewd logic. Virgo is a mutable sign of the zodiac, indicating a Virgo’s ability to adapt well and enjoy variety. A true Virgo finds worries about every personal imperfection and is never satisfied with his or her work. Although many Virgoans are hard workers, a Virgo fears that they are not good enough in their work or with their partner. A Virgo wants to help others and complete a task to its best. Mercury rules this sign. Mercurian elements add to a Virgo’s intellect and incisive communication skills. Another sign ruled heavily by Mercury is Gemini, which makes sense since they are also associated with information and communication. Many Virgoans are sympathetic and emotionally warm despite their cold exterior, and are very dedicated friends and lovers. Unfortunately, an impersonal Virgo can display harsh forms of criticism and irritability to those who do not put in their best effort. A Virgo must learn to distinguish between destructive criticism and simple wisdom. A Virgo is knowledgeable about good health, but a Virgo can be sort of a hypochondriac in addition to their nervous behavior. Truly a Virgo can be a bit of a worrier, but it’s all done in efforts to do what’s best for themselves and those around them. This is why a Virgo can be very warm-hearted and steady, dedicated partners and parents. It may take years for  a Virgo to find the right one, but when they do find someone worth keeping, devoted is Virgo’s middle name. A Virgo is not typically a jealous lover, but a Virgo expects his or her partner to be devoted and have a sense of decency. Sharing emotions must be kept private and not expressed in overt ways. A Virgo may come off as a boring lover, but this is very far from the truth. Secretly, a Virgo has a very explosive sexuality, but only with a worthy partner. A Virgo uses subtlety to attract a partner, so these types might come off as shy. A person who makes a Virgo his or her partner must realize that a union should be considered permanent. In return, a Virgo gives their partner strong loyalty and deep affectionate behavior. Before any proposal is made, a Virgo will analyze a potential partner before taking the leap. In love, a Virgo finds simplicity to be beautiful. A Virgo male will be honest and mindful, and good with memory. He will not be impressed simply by a show of sexy make up or clothes because he will find cleanliness and warm love to be every kind of sexy. A Virgo woman can be very shy, and slow to love, but in time, she will open up and reveal a truly intense romantic partner. Her love is practical, but should not be confused with boring. Having a Virgo as a friend can mean having a very kind, considerate and honest friend. On the other hand, a Virgo friend can mean having a cold and critical ally. Virgoans must be softened by a friend who will bring good humor in a Virgo’s life. When a Virgo friend falls ill, make sure to feed into his or her hypochondriac personality a little to make them feel at ease with friendly support. The Major Arcana associated with Virgo is the Hermit, a cared which indicates the ability to light one’s own path. The Fool has taken a rest in a cave and has reviewed his journey thus far. The lantern illuminates all that he has missed along his journey, but also analyzes the flora and fauna in the world around him. At this point, the Fool Arcana has made his journey half way at the sixth zodiac sign. The Fool began with Aries, and now rests with Virgo to complete the next half of his journey.

Gemini

Third sign of the western zodiac. Geminians are associated with communication, wit, agility, persuasion, curiosity, and freedom. A Gemini is a dual personality type of individual, and although they may exhibit good humor, they hold a dark side to all their grins and laughter. They are a mutable sign, changing as the wind does, and adding variety to their lives. The funny thing about Geminians is that, although they are known as the twins, the secret goal in life is to find their mysterious twin (a soul mate) who will make a Gemini feel whole in life. Also, a Gemini may seek balance in his or her life, in order to make peace with the twins within themselves. Finding harmony between the earthly and spiritual aspects of a Gemini will truly make a Gemini feel whole in this world. Few people listening to a quirky, quick talking, and enthusiastically charming Gemini will realize that a Gemini is truly feeling lost and alone. Making contact with a Gemini through words and ideas will make a Gemini very happy. To a Gemini, love must be something to be shared romantically with his or her soul mate. Unfortunately, many Geminians tend to flirt with many and can have affairs within a partnership; a Gemini who hasn’t found his or her soul mate does not feel the need to truly commit. A Gemini may appear cool and distant, but remember, these people are at war within themselves. They repress very strong emotions in fear of sharing these emotions with the wrong person who might end up hurting a sensitive Gemini. Love is not a problem for the Gemini, it’s expressing that may be the most difficult challenge for a Gemini. The tarot card most associated with this sign is the Lovers. Of course, this can mean the symbol of love, but also finding a balance between intellect and emotion in order to feel complete. In a relationship, a Gemini may not find a person who dominates or is too clingy to be attractive. A Gemini woman finds a partner who can provide emotional security to be attractive, She desires the ability to express her many sides with her partner, but often, a Gemini woman’s relationships are short-lived because of her restlessness. Unless she finds a partner willing to walk on clouds with her, then she cannot find happiness in life and end the affair. \Similarly, a Gemini male does not want to be dominated and bored to death. He wants a partner who is on the move like he is. He wants a partner who can understand his desire to just fly to the moon and back and not question him about it. Don’t bog a Gemini partner down with too much of your personal problems because this will scare them away.  A Gemini likes people who are curious to explore as they are and are able to be spontaneous without notice. A Gemini is a very interesting friend who will never cease to bore those around them with their quirky personalities. Unfortunately, Geminians can be big fibbers so be aware of stories with exaggerated details and stretched truths.

Aries

The first sign of the zodiac. they are usually associated with assertion and new beginnings. Some find these people to be quite naive, others see them as innovators. An Aries is not afraid to be honest with you, so don’t find their comments as rude if your asking for an opinion. They are competitive and creative, but may come off as inexperienced. Aries can usually have beginner’s luck, and if any card of the Major Arcana could be associated, it would be the Fool. They are explorers, and pioneers in their field of work, but those who have achieved status through years of hard work can either view an Aries as a slacker or a possessor of raw talent. Aries may come off as cocky because of their raw talent, and even Aries may think as themselves as the better competition, but even an Aries holds self-doubts. An Aries ruling planet is Mars, and this is associated with aggressive masculine energy, ready to overcome many difficult challenges that obstruct an Aries to its destination. Although an Aries may come off as a fighter, they are deep romantics and will hold their partner on a pedestal. Expect to be lavished by a loyal and strong Aries. Unfortunately, not all partners can expect this sort of luxury treatment. If you’re boring to an Aries, or if you cannot meet the qualifications to stimulate an Aries intellectually and physically, then don’t expect them to stay in love for long. Routine can be very boring for an Aries partner. Aries may look like a dominant partner, but don’t be totally submissive. Remember, an Aries likes a little danger. Aries women tend to have many difficulties in love because she may see her partner as competition in the world as well. It would be better to not have a partner in the same field of work then. She does not like to be in a submissive position as a girlfriend, so don’t expect her to have traditional views as a wife. Her partner must be tact and confident, exude enthusiasm, and remain loyal. On the other side, an Aries male wants a partner whom he can brag about. Someone who is clever and beautiful. His partner should be modest about her abilities and be able to support the goals of the Aries male. An aries husband will regard his partner on a regal status and must behave accordingly. It’s not that Aries males have a certain role for his partner, it’s just that he or she must be able to put an Aries first. Expect Aries males and females to be warm-hearted friends, but also very jealous of a friends’ abilities that surpass their own. However, Aries will admire his or her friends if they remain interesting. An Aries may suffer emotionally from time to time, and despite their apparent superiority, an Aries is vulnerable. These are soft-hearted people beyond such a tough exterior.

I sometimes blame my pessimism on my being a Capricorn, but we all know that’s BS.
