Earth Signs
(Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)

Earth signs are usually solid and dependable, just as the ground beneath us. They are gifted at manifestation in the concrete world and take pleasure in finding useful purposes for everything. Earth signs are natural recyclers--they deplore wasted resources of any kind. The disadvantage of Earth signs is that too often attention is focused on material production. They can become caught in repetitive ruts, forgetting to use their imagination. Earths frequently attract fire signs into their lives to provide an element of excitement and change. But then, of course, the Earths must deal with anxiety over what the more unpredictable fires might do next. The dance of life continues. 

Taurus (April 20-May20)

Physical appearance is attractive or handsome; takes special pleasure in luxurious items and places; sensual, particularly to touch and taste; slow and careful, deliberate, wary about change; must learn the difference between caution and sheer stubbornness; naturally stable; needs to work toward an organized plan; prefers long-term relationships; often musically talented; especially sensitive to financial security and will work toward that goal.

Virgo (August 23-September 22)

Sensitive to the environment with delicate nervous systems; particularly susceptible to dietary issues; usually sweet-natured and tactful, self-effacing, quiet; strong need for order and routine; ability to organize, though this activity is a nuisance; good at research and inductive reasoning; sometimes gets caught in details and misses the bigger picture; the Inner Critic is the worst enemy.  Usually marry, but actually are often happier in the single life.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19)

Strong leadership ability; generates ideas, delegates the details to others, and moves toward fresh pasture; may be perceived by other signs as lazy, but mainly has a desire to accomplish everything with greatest efficiency; matures early in life, detests the condition of being a child; tendency toward conservative attitudes; high goal setters, rarely satisfied with results; internally emotional, but sometimes appear cold and distant, interested only in the business at hand;  loyal and committed in love, but often undemonstrative; may appear distancing.

Your Zodiac Sign

Contrary to popular belief, the sun sign is not who you are, but who you are becoming during this existence. Some people identify firmly with their sign and others do not. The variations are usually related to whether the moon or any of the planets were in the same section of the zodiac as the sun at birth. If the sun's sign has the support of one or more planets, an individual is more likely to recognize himself in the trait description. It is fairly common for a person to feel affinity for the sign preceding or following the birth sign. This is due to the fact that the planets Mercury and Venus are often located one sign away from the sun and the traits they represent may "confuse" the issue.
