Aries
Aries"I am"
March 21 - April 20
His colour is red, his stone is the heliotrope, his day is Tuesday, and his professions
are businessman, policeman, sportsman, surgeon...
You express your vital energy in a very cut and dried way, you do not resist taking
the driver's seat and you may come across as arrogant. Charging ahead also implies
hurting yourself and being suddenly overcome by doubt. As a result, your courage,
your honesty, your enthusiasm and your straightforwardness may turn into
aggressiveness, rebellion and vulnerability that no one ever suspected. Fortunately,
the level of your energy is very high and your instinctive and pugnacious side will
not leave you helpless for too long and will set you back on the often perilous road
to conquest and glory.

You are courageous, frank, enthusiastic, dynamic, fast, bold, expansive, warm,
impulsive, adventurous, intrepid, warlike, competitive, but also naive, domineering,
self-centred, impatient, rash, thoughtless, blundering, childish, quick-tempered,
daring or primitive.

Tranquillity, joy of life and sensuality are essential to you: you are a simple and
quiet nature. You find happiness easily because you are not competitive, your
relaxed attitude and your common sense invariably lead you towards fulfilment,
even though you are not the number one, even though you do not move in haste.
Constructing is important to you. Your patience and your persistence yield strong,
steadfast, sustainable efforts that can withstand any pitfalls. You are gentle, with a
slow thinking process, but once you have opted for an orientation, nothing, nor
anyone, can make you change your mind. You loathe changes in general and once

are on track.

Your mobility is such that you are in every place where you are not expected. You
spend lots of time asking questions and answering them. Your curiosity and your
quick-wittedness are insatiable. Your mind is in constant turmoil, hopping from one
topic to another, solving problems, accumulating anecdotes and knowledge within a
short range of time. Your mobility is mostly mental, it takes you afar and turns your
daily life into a mosaic of intense and pleasant moments that are not necessarily
related to each other: provided things are moving, your neurons are kept busy and
you can meet with people, everything is fine! You are expressive, lively, adaptable,

introverted, depending on who, either Venus or Saturn, is the strongest. Libra is

outgoing and airy in this sign, and by Saturn, the principle of rigour, introversion,
restraint, concentration and meditation. Unless Saturn is very strong in the chart,
Libra is delicate, charming, sociable, perpetually compromising. For this reason, you
may sometimes come across as hesitant and weak because you dare not to insist or
to give your opinion. You prefer to act as a unifier, an element of understanding and

you spare no efforts for the sake of pacification and you adjust to the situation with
flexibility and charm.

If your sign is Scorpio or your Ascendant is Scorpio:

Your psychological nature is bilious with aggressive impulses that spur the
transformation of your being and of any situation you are involved in. You are
constantly struggling to assert yourself. You cannot refrain from testing others with
cutting remarks, not because you want to hurt them, but because you want to know
them better through their reaction; life and the feeling of aliveness are experienced
through rebellion and tension. Your aggressive attitude may equate with sly
inquisition as often, you remain silent, introverted and secretive, mulling over
turbulent thoughts in the depths of your mind, leaving others puzzled by your quite
strange behaviour.

charisma and your drive are fully integrated in the collective life. Indeed, as an

administrator...
Your psychological nature is introverted and cold, totally controlled and phlegmatic,
at least regarding the image you project invariably. You seem unemotional and

austere. Actually, your secondarity chews over the strategies or responses that you
create as a recation to the environment. You are slow but very thoughtful, solid and
balanced. You are as curt as you are cold and you put the strength of your character
at the service of your huge and long-term ambition. Or you may be detached from
the earthly riches and you focus on spiritual values.
Like all the people born under an apparently reserved and tough sign, your inner
personality is often charming and gentle, as if the thick armour, forged throughout
childhood, had entirely preserved the purity and the warmth of the soul imprisoned
within.

indomitable, cautious, lucid, persistent, provident, steady, introverted, stern, wilful,

If your sign is Aquarius or your Ascendant is Aquarius:
You are particularly sensitive to the values of friendship in the sense that you see
yourself as a link within a chain, certainly a different and original one, but with no
will to flatter your ego or to individually assert yourself. On the contrary, your aim is
to immerge yourself in your friendly relations and to participate in projects and
ideals of the whole human community.
You are idealistic, altruistic, detached, independent, original, surprising, gifted,
contradictory, innovative, humanistic, likeable, friendly, self-confident, impassive,

emergency worker, doctor, writer and jobs in remote places...
Your psychological nature is adaptive and receptive, the exact opposite of the sign
of Virgo whose very essence is to thoroughly analyze each thing, thus creating a
permanent duality between the self and the outside world: conversely, Pisces
absorb and wipe out any form of differentiation; with Pisces, there can be no
opposition, no conflict, no individual reaction. There is only fusion, non-separation,
perpetual and mobile spreading of the self over some sort of blurred but huge
feeling of sympathy with the environment. It is the supreme reign of feelings and
emotions over the intellect and its separating reason.
You are emotional, sensitive, dedicated, adaptable, nice, wild, compassionate,
romantic, imaginative, flexible, opportunist, intuitive, impossible to categorized,
irrational, seductive, placid, secretive, introverted, pleasant, artistic, and charming.
