Scorpio vs Libra Virgo Relationship Potential

A Powerful, passionate and intense combination. Both like dictating justice however since neither will want to be on the receiving end this may prove problematic. If too much resentment builds up it could turn ugly and neither would be likely to leave until the situation had escalated beyond all reason. Both may want to dominate and not be possessed and no one wants to be the receiver.

The upside of course will be great sex. An agreement about shortcomings of others, the proper way to proceed in any situation and a propensity for making cash. So starting a business together to have a joint outlet for your passions may work.

Basically, alot of fun and not necessarily the best connection.

Personality Profile, Leo with Pisces Rising and Moon in Piseces

I met an interesting woman today. I was struck by the glory of the combination of apparently disparate things. I saw in her a really, really, really rich hippie. And that's something I never expected to see. She had this new age, flowing, spiritual wonder about her and at the same time I was nearly blinded by the bling on her watch. She was onstage and had a great presence, connected well with the audience and obviously has a brilliant mind. I was intrigued.

And so in conversation with her after her performance, astrology came up. Due to the new age side of her, she knew her chart well and let me know she is a Leo with moon and rising in Pisces. I've got a fair bit of experience with fire-water combinations. And I've got to say she seemed to be the best integrated I've met to date. I'm going to attribute that to her dedication to serving her life purpose.

So basically the love of flashy, sparkling, center stage glory of Leo has been tempered by the connecting, soulful, flowing glory of Pisces. And she carries it well. I could feel the integration of opposites in her. A fascinating person, both in her honoring her Leo desire to be in the spotlight and in using the spotlight to serve a Piscean dream. I just wouldnt want to piss her off.

International Astrology Day

International Astrology Day is celebrated on the first day of spring. Astrology is the oldest representation of western culture through a symbolic system. The first day of spring is also the beginning of the astrological calendar and as such can be considered the Astrological New Year.

This day is also celebrated in many other cultures. Iranians celebrate their new year, it is the beginning of the Baha'i faith's calendar and it is a public holiday in Japan, Vernal Equinox Day.

Aries is always a wild and crazy ride. Learn to enjoy it!

Characteristics of Sagittarius - Its Sagittarius Season

This is going to be a bit more free form than my usual blogs. This is running more off of recent experience than professional knowledge. Its Sagittarius season, no not their time of year, just Sagittarius season. I find that new people I meet tend to come in groups by sign. Last month there were Geminis everywhere I turned. Now the season has changed and it Sag time. So let's discuss Characteristics of Sagittarius as evidenced by recent example.

Characteristics of Sagittarius - Freedom Loving
Sagittarius is fun. They like fun, they like fun people and they know how to get fun done. They like the freedom to have their fun where they find it. Its an interesting transition from the freedom of Sagittarius to the restriction of Capricorn. Often when people discover a new side of themselves they over do it. Maybe its also that way in this transition. Sagittarius is so wide and free roaming that the next evolution is extremely fixed and immovable.

Characteristics of Sagittarius - Knowledge Loving
Whether it is a search for the origins of the universe, a love of history, a desire to learn about themselves or a curiosity for learning about a new person, Sagittarius loves new knowledge. They are the constant mental adventurers of the zodiac.

Characteristics of Sagittarius - The Charmer
The aforementioned love of knowledge makes Sagittarius the perfect conversationalist. They always have something to talk about. Attentive, fun and interested they are able to easily win people over and have a natural talent for the social graces. A Sagittarius can make you feel like the most special person in the world. And you are. Until they are talking to the next most special person in the world, which leads to....

Characteristics of Sagittarius - Inconsistent
Whether it's that they say they are going to call or they make plans to get together or things a bit more serious, Sagittarius can leave a bit to be desired. One just disappeared never to be seen or heard from again. However, the other Sags of the season had a frighteningly consistent tendency among them to be inconsistent. From dropping off the radar and resurfacing without thinking anything of it, to indignant text messages wondering where I've gone when they haven't been responding for a week... the Sags seem not to have noticed their joint propensity for not doing what they say they are going to do.

Astrology - The Life Cycle of the Signs

Astrology - Signs as Ages in Life Cycle

Astrological Signs can be associated with different stages in the human life cycle. Starting with Aries and moving in order thru to Pisces, each sign represents a progressive age in human development.

Aries - The Child

As the first sign in the zodiac, Aries starts off the cycle of human life with childhood. Aries personifies the child from age 0-7. Inquisitive, learning, brilliant, loving, impatient, persistent, clear about what they want and confused about why they shouldn't have it. An Aries expects what they want with all the certainty of a child who has just spotted the golden arches and knows french fries are right over there. There's no good reason for a no. Aries and children know this.

Virgo - Middle Age

Virgo represents the beginning of middle age. We move from the happy go lucky ways of our youth into the deliberated choices of middle age. We become aware of our mortality and this leads to a more discerning thought process. Virgo focuses on giving as we begin to realize at this age that what you give is far more important than what you get. Personifying the transition from 42-49, Virgo brings more consideration and planning to prepare for further aging.

Pisces - The Transition to Death

Pisces as the last sign in the zodiac represents old age. A go with the flow attitude in recognition that life has a way of moving on typifies this sign. A connection with the spiritual, less from a dogma standpoint and more from a preparing oneself for death is also indicative of Pisces. They love, they care, they feel and they want you to feel with them. Pisces is a loving connecting sign. As we move toward death we realize love is really all that matters and Pisces brings this to the forefront.

Pisces 101 - Basic Astrology

Every Astrology sign has its upside and drawbacks. Let's investigate Pisces.

Pisces - Positive Traits

As the third water sign, Pisces lives in the flow and will flow with an person, experience or challenge that comes along. They run on faith, whether mystical or religious, believing is what Pisces do best. This belief combined with their emotional connection gives them a sense of easy connection that allows them to be very compassionate and caring. Pisces are intuitive, agreeable, captivating and engaging making them the perfect companion.

Pisces - Challenging Traits

The downside of all this companionable glory is that in their desire to please Pisces can utterly lose themselves. This same motivation will lead them to lie with reckless abandon. They want to go along with whatever you want or need and so will look you dead in the eye and agree to whatever you ask. Some Pisces will then blissfully ignore their commitment to you once no longer in your presence. Others will avoid you so as not to make any commitments. Bottom line Pisces has no backbone and suffers the consequences. Sometimes when they become overburdened by their inability to say no, they lash out with vicious maliciousness and you get to pay the price too.

Aquarius 101 - Basic Astrology

Every Astrology sign has its upside and drawbacks. Let's investigate Aquarius.

Aquarius - Positive Traits

Aquarius is an original thinker. Destined to fight for the great causes of the world, Aquarius is a humanitarian. Above almost all else, Aquarius values friendship and the hardwon friends they have accquired along the way. Aquarius is always friendly and cordial however even they can have a limit.

Aquarius - Challenging Traits

Typical of Air signs, Aquarius can be very disconnected with their feelings and generally seem to be a lost soul. Some of this comes from their judgments about themselves and some of it comes from being afraid of what's out there. An Aquarius' love of being "different" can lead to a sense of isolation from mankind and loneliness that is hard to fill.

Capricorn 101 - Basic Astrology

Every Astrology sign has its upside and drawbacks. Let's investigate Capricorn.

Capricorn - Positive Traits

Focus is a Capricorn strong suit. they see the goal and march toward it with a relentless precision that is unmatched in any other sign. Probably the closest is Capricorn's opposite, Cancer which applies the same studiousness to never being left alone. Another Capricorn strength is hard-work. They aren't afraid of it, they don't avoid it and they are among the few people who truly understand the benefit of it.

Capricorn - Challenging Traits

That single focus can be amazing, in a relationship, when you are the center of a Capricorn's attention. Unfortunately, that neither lasts forever nor lasts very long. Capricorn without fail will resort to being work focused. It is what they know and what gives them the security the so desperately need. Also while lost in their work, they can abandon relationships completely when they are committed heart, body, mind and soul to the company cause leaving them disconnected from their loved ones

Sagittarius 101 - Basic Astrology

Every Astrology sign has its upside and drawbacks. Let's investigate Sagittarius.

Sagittarius - Positive Traits

Sagittarius is creative, motivated and flexible. If there are things to be accomplished and tasks to get done a Sagittarius will go Go GO! until its handled. Sagittarius is social and a natural Networking God. They connect with people, enjoy people and are definite talkers.

Sagittarius - Challenging Traits

The problem with all that Go!-ing is that the things to get done get more attention than the people in a Sagittarius' life. This can really strain their relationships despite their social and networking savy, leaving them disconnected from deep meaningful interaction. They are actually better suited to a short term networking situation that only requires a small burst of connecting. Their flexible changeable nature comes out on the dark side of their character as inconsistent, flighty and unreliable.

Scorpio 101 - Basic Astrology

Every sign has its upside and drawbacks. Let's investigate Scorpio.

Scorpio - Positive Traits

Scorpio is often called the most powerful sign in the zodiac. Their deep and intense scrutiny of themselves and the world is the cornerstone of their power. Scorpio derives its magnetism from a connection to their own hidden depths. Once these emotions are engaged, Scorpio has unswerving dedication. Adaptable, driven with great endurance and clever Scorpio is the perfect ally.

Scorpio - Challenging Traits

Of course on the flip side, what makes for a perfect ally also makes for a deadly enemy. Just don't piss off a Scorpio - ever. They never forgive an injury and work (albeit silently and stealthily) for vengeance at any cost. And they usually succeed as they focus all that intellect, drive and endurance into making your life hell. Another downside to Scorpio is their penchant for intensity. This leads them to live life in extremes and forsake restraint and moderation. While it complicates things consistently - especially in a relationship - it sure doesn't make for easy living. At least you'll never be bored with Scorpio.

Libra 101 - Basic Astrology

Every sign has its upside and drawbacks. Let's investigate Libra.

Libra - Positive Traits

Like Taurus, Libra is rulled by Venus the planet of love and beauty. Libra takes this a bit more literally, by loving beauty. Libra is relationship driven and wants to create a bubble of social harmony both at home and with their friends. Charming, intelligent and with boatloads of good taste this is usually a piece of cake. In the few situations where it gets sticky Libra's legendary diplomacy kicks in.

Libra - Challenging Traits

The reason Libra is so good at aforementioned diplomatic relations is an ability to see both sides of any arguement. This leaves Libra often stuck weighing the pros and cons of various options leading to analysis paralysis and a major Libra fault - Indecision. Also in the pursuit of harmony Libra can lose themselves completely while negotiating for everyone to just get along, which gets Libra the label of Shallow. When Libra finally gets past all the weighing of options, they tend to be a bit judgemental too.

Virgo 101 - Basic Astrology

Every sign has its upside and drawbacks. Let's investigate Virgo.

Virgo - Positive Traits

Ruled by the planet Mercury(like Gemini), Virgo has a quick mind. Huge quantities of data can be gathered, analyzed and the resulting conclusions found in the blink of an eye. Virgo lives to serve and wants to bring value to every person in their life. Driven by a quest for perfection, they seek to constantly improve themselves and the world around them.

Virgo - Challenging Traits

The analytical perfectionist tendencies of Virgo are lethal when turned against humans instead of data. Most people have struggles dealing with the level of criticism that a Virgo generates, creating strain in their personal relationships. Virgos are also judgmental (again similar to Geminis) and have serious trouble relating to people who are less intellectually minded than themselves. And finally Virgos are so good at seeing underneath the bark on the trees, they most definitely don't see the forest for the trees.

Leo 101 - Basic Astrology

Every sign has its upside and drawbacks. Let's investigate Leo.

Leo - Positive Traits

Leo is the Kind of the Zodiac. Generous and kind-hearted, they make great rulers. Drawn to the spotlight, they have the taste and style to handle the red carpet with ease. They are engaging, fun and a joy to be around. Born leaders, they rule with grace and charm.

Leo - Challenging Traits

A Leo in charge is a happy Leo. A Leo not in charge is a grey cloud of disaster. Dethroned Leo resorts to moodiness, sulking and major passive aggressive tendencies when they do not have a kingdom to rule. They also tend to lose any sense of fashion and any interest in life. They resign themselves to disaster and act accordingly - like spoiled sulky children.

Cancer 101 - Basic Astrology

Every sign has its upside and drawbacks. Let's investigate Cancer.

Cancer - Positive Traits

Cancer being a water sign is connected to the intuitive flow of the universe. They are intuitive and aware of the foibles of the people in their lives. Family oriented and very affectionate, Cancer's are the masters of home. They know how to create a space of love and comfort for their loved ones.

Cancer - Challenging Traits

The downside is sometimes Cancer can not leave their happy nest and turn into chronic homebodies. Their connection to their emotions can also lead to them being needy or co-dependent. Which in turn can lead to an obsessive compulsion about never being alone. This can be hard for a partner to deal with but a bit easier perhaps than the fact that Cancer often has a back up lined up in case their present relationship collapses. Cancer will not be alone.

Gemini 101 - Basic Astrology

Every sign has its upside and drawbacks. Let's investigate Gemini.

Gemini - Positive Traits

Gemini is one of the family of Air signs (along with Libra and Aquarius) and as such is intellectually focused. A quick mind with a talent for wordplay and a deep respect for the best communicators throughout the ages, Gemini loves great literature. Generally torn between this intellect focused mindset and their seething emotions, Gemini's have a reputation for seeming to have two (or more) different personalities in the same body. This lends itself to them being social, fun-loving as they enjoy expressing themselves particularly thru the arts and can be quite talented.

Gemini - Challenging Traits

The challenging side of Gemini is their refusal to engage their emotions. Being so intellectually focused, they distrust emotions as being illogical. This leads to emotional disconnect and subsequent emotional explosions as their suppressed feelings rise to the surface. They can also be judgmental, particularly of other people's intellect and of people who don't know how to have fun. They also have a tendency to be sneaky and manipulative.

Taurus 101 - Basic Astrology

Every sign has its upside and drawbacks. Let's investigate Taurus.

Taurus - Positive Traits

Taurus is ruled by Venus the planet of love and beauty. This means that Taurus has good taste, damn good taste even. Most accurately, Taurus can be said to have a love of luxury. This brings a great appreciation for material things and the desire to acquire them. So Taurus ends up being a bit conflicted, both wanting to work hard to get the money to buy their hearts desires and simultaneously wanting to lounge in the luxury they have created with all that hard work. The key to dealing with a Taurus is to let them do which ever of these two options they prefer, whenever they want.

Taurus - Challenging Traits

Because the biggest downside of a Taurus is their stubborn streak, its best to not draw them into head to head conflict. You will probably lose. Engaging them in discussion and providing lots of reasonable details will help your cause as long as you can get to them before they have made up their minds. Otherwise, you lose again.

Aries 101 - Basic Astrology

Every Astrology sign has its upside and drawbacks. Let's investigate Aries.

Aries - Positive Traits

Aries is the childlike sign. They are bustling with energy. Creative, energetic and dynamic, Aries thrills in the joys of living. Discovering new things and expressing their passion is just a way of life to Aries.

Aries - Challenging Traits

These same childlike tendencies show up in more challenging areas as impulsive, aggressive and impatient. Aries is ruled by Mars, the God of war, and can demonstrate this clearly in their fiery outbursts.

The Inner Life of a Virgo

Virgo is a very mental sign. Since Virgo is ruled by Mercury, the planet of mental activity and commnicaion, it is very drawn to intellectual clarity.

Part of what goes on in the mind of a Virgo is constant analysis. Which means every minute of everyday the mental wheels are turnng at full speed. Traveling down 10 roads at a time, Virgo is deep in consideration and juggling the implications of all that analysis in a fit of mental gymastics. So while a Virgo may appear calm on the outside, on the inside they are a whirlwind of possibilities and generally stress.

Although this mental whirlwind isnt always fun for Virgo, having this master of mental machinations on your side is always a plus. And a Virgo would have it no other way.

Earth Signs - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn and Earth Signs. They all have a solidity and stability in common.

Earth is the source of nourishment and life. In this sense there is a supportive, nurturing side to these signs. With Virgo this is displayed in a desire to be of service. With Taurus a desire to create material things and with Capricorn, once you get past their sometimes gruff exterior a desire to nurture.

The stability of earth signs displays itself in many ways. One on hand there is the diligence and hard work that is the strength of these signs. One the other hand is the fixed immobility of stubbornness. Earth brings a desire for security, constancy and an appreciation for the stability of tradition.

What is a Cusp?

You may have heard the phrase "on the cusp". What this means is that you are on the edge of a sign. Traditionally, the cut off date between signs is the 21st of the month. For example, to be a Leo you would be born between July 21 and August 20. July 20th would be a Cancer and August 21 would be a Virgo.

However, for the first few days before and after the 21st you would be considered on the cusp. This means you are likely to have characteristics of the sign on the other side of the cut off day. In the above example, while someone born on July 20th would be a Cancer, they are highly likely to have Leo tendencies.

There are several reasons for this. First astrology is about the change of the seasons and stars of life. It is about gradations of difference. So things move from sign to sign incrementally and these slow movement show up in the changes and overlap from sign to sign. The second reason for the cusp concept is that our calendar is not perfectly aligned with the stars. So the signs change based on the movement of the heavens does not actually happen on the 21st every month. If you want an accurate representation of the stars on the day of your birth you would need to refer to an ephemeris for exact information or have your natal chart done.

Without going thru this level of detail its just good to remember there is a lot of change and fluctuation around the edges of the signs.

Virgo Characteristics - For the Love of Data

Virgo Characteristics - Fascination with Data and its Analysis

Virgo is the sign of the virgin. This may a first glance not seem to mesh with the love of data, which sounds so technical. However, the virgin has an innocence that leads to discovery. And part of the joy of discovery is the acquisition of new data or information. It is the love of new data and the collection of it that leads to Virgos strengths and downfall.

Virgo Characteristics - Data Collection

Inquisitive by nature, Virgo prefers more data over less. They have a burning need to know. They ask questions, look for sources and are determined to come up with the "right" answer. In this they tend to create a lot of stress for themselves by having sometimes inhumanly high standards. And often these same standards are applied to the lucky people in their lives. This attachment to standards is strong in earth signs (so Taurus and Capricorn the other two earth signs do it as well in slightly different flavors) and supports them in staying grounded which is necessary to their well being.

Virgo Characteristics - Data Analysis

Once a Virgo has gotten all the data they need, and this may take awhile, they move into the analysis stage. This is one of the strengths of Virgo, to be able to assimilate large quantities of data and find just the conclusive meaningful bits and pieces out of a huge pile of information. Virgos revel in an unanalyzed pile of information as long as it on a subject matter that interests them. The Virgo Characteristics in play here are diligence, mental quickness, painstaking, organized, thorough, and completely detail oriented. This is what makes Virgos great accountants, government workers and insurance adjusters.

Virgo Characteristics - Critical Analysis vs Criticism

Once a Virgo has completed their analysis, they know they are right because they have the data to back them up. In fact, until Virgo has all the facts in front of them, Virgo will appear indecisive as they will not want to make a decision. One of the strongest Virgo Characteristics is to believe life should be lived logically or rationally. All that is required is sufficient data and the logical answer presents itself. Virgo views people who make decisions without data or inspite of data as stupid. A Virgo will acknowledge that someone disagrees with them and believe all they need to do to change their mind is provide enough information. If a Virgo provides you with information and you dont agree with them, they will first want to provide you with more information. If you still dont agree they will become frustrated and finally decide you just aren't that bright. They switch very easily from critical analysis to criticism of those who do not agree with or do what their data determines is the appropriate response.

All this analysis focus, aids Virgo in having an organized and structured life but can cause struggle in personal relationships.

Interview with a Capricorn - Capricorn Traits

The Ages of Capricorn - Capricorn Traits

In an effort to be more thorough, I am submitting an additional post based on the comments of a 47 year old Capricorn male. He read my last post Capricorn Traits from a Wife's point of view and thought I'd missed the point entirely. As far as he is concerned there's no point discussing Capricorn Traits unless you're going to qualify the age of the Capricorn male. (Please note: These two posts are relating to the Capricorn Traits for males. There are often substantial differences in the traits of males and females of every sign.) From his perspective, a Capricorn is like a fine wine and maturing improves the quality substantially.

Capricorn Traits - The Young Capricorn Male

According to our in house Capricorn expert, there are no greater jerks than a young Capricorn male. Or as he put it they are "a**holes when they are younger". As I am sure he is fondly remembering from his younger days. Actually more accurately, he has become more and more aware of this by watching young Capricorn males reenact the hostilities of his youth. And for the record, our expert claims Capricorn Traits for younger males don't transform into the preferred signs of maturity until after 40 in most cases. If he's a slow learner, as many Capricorns are with their stubborn ways, he may not catch on until after 45 if at all. The notes below document our Capricorn experts in depth personal knowledge of the Capricorn traits at work. Welcome to the inner workings of a Capricorn's mind....

First and foremost of the Capricorn Traits of the younger male is "i dont give a f*ck" syndrome. This is a combination of a capricorn's disdain for authority, desire to protect himself, indignation at others demands of him and his affinity for rebels and underdogs. Whether idgaf is a response to punishment doled out by an unhappy boss or a response to a request from a loved one, idgaf allows the young capricorn male to escape. Whether its escape from intimacy or expectations at work or at home, this hostile proclamation provides the capricorn with lots of wiggle room and thus is used often.

Another of the Capricorn Traits of the younger male is "me against the world" syndrome. From the Capricorn male's point of view its a hard cold world out there. Life is hard and requires constant struggle in order to get ahead. Whether its fighting against the establishment, or working all those long long hours it takes to get a head, or struggling to find a way to get what he wants when there is only one possible solution and a million obstacles between him and his goal - the capricorn knows: life sucks and he's probably about to get screwed again. This happens so frequently that struggle and obstacles become the expected norm, even to the point capricorns can feel defeated and like a failure before they really even get started. This leads to a propensity to see everything as doom, gloom and disaster. (Which can often be difficult to take seriously since another capricorn trait is sarcasm).

The next of the Capricorn Traits of the younger male is the "apology-hostility" cycle. Since Capricorn sees everything as a struggle, an argument or misunderstanding just adds to this belief. So when he finally overcomes his disdain of the person he's been arguing with and offers an apology, an immediate acceptance is expected. Should this take more than a split second for the offended part to joyfully accept the apology, Capricorn will lash out with hostile jabs, shocking the person who was only seconds before contemplating the amazing gift of a young capricorn admitting they were wrong. The hostilities resume until once again the young capricorn apologizes. This will be a never ending cycle unless you are prepared and jump on the apology the second it appears, showering the young cap with gratitude for the gift he has bestowed upon you. If this seems inane, then don't comment and see how many times the "apology-hostility" cycle goes on. I promise after a few rounds of this you'll either learn to instantaneously accept apologies or wish you could.

One of the most fun (ok, just kidding) of the Capricorn traits is his unwavering certainty that he has the right and the only answer. This one of the Capricorn traits assures the young cap will be
opinionated, domineering, antagonists and generally disgusted with others who have differing viewpoints. The have the way, the truth and the light. They have taken the time to explain to (er, um, lecture at) you what this way is. You should do it. If you don't you are obviously an idiot. Fortunately for you, they wont mind telling you that you're an idiot - so you'll always know when this gem is happening.

Disconnection from reality is the next of the young male capricorn traits. This takes many forms, the first is isolating from family & friends. They want people in their lives, they value you, really they do. Not that you'd notice since you have to do all the work to maintain the relationship. They mean to do it themselves, just as soon as they get done working on.... This one of Capricorn Traits also ensures they have no idea how difficult they are being.

Last but not least is the Capricorn trait of loving to make people laugh, which sounds innocuous enough but can lead to serious problems for the unsuspecting Capricorn. If only he would learn that when your girlfriend is breaking down in tears in a rare moment of vulnerability or when your boss is furious with the latest report on your department is not the time to try to resolve everything with levity.

Capricorn Traits - The Mature Capricorn Male

Fortunately, as they get older Capricorns become very very mellow, at least in comparison to their earlier behavior. Behind that gruff exterior lives a heart of gold which starts to shine thru as a Capricorn ages. They finally realize they do care, and so stop the verbal hostilities. After decades of struggle, argument and battling against the world in general, the Capricorn male finally discovers a strong desire for peace. Unfortunately, he may decide to hide from everyone to preserve the peace he so desperately craves. Its time to enjoy the fruits of all that hard work so in general Capricorn mellows. While the edges become softer, the core personality doesn't disappear. They are still opinionated SOBs but at least they are willing to allow a different opinion. They still have challenges connecting, particularly emotionally. However, at times they wear their hearts on their sleeve and you can see them for the kind-hearted softies they really are... so if you aren't so excited with your young Capricorn male, give him a few decades to sort it all out. You may be pleasantly surprised. Or not. So says the Capricorn who has traveled down this path, he should know.

Capricorn Traits from a Wife's point of view

Musings from the Wife of a Capricorn on Capricorn Traits

I think it really comes down to knowing yourself and what you are looking for in a husband. I never expected to be married to a Capricorn. I don’t think I ever thought of the sum of Capricorn Traits as being husband worthy. They always seemed like solitary hermits to me and being the social creature I am I just couldn’t find that appealing. But I’ve learned a lot about Capricorn Traits and their strengths and weaknesses being married to one.

Capricorn Traits - Money

Let’s start off with the money. Marriages so often succeed or fail based on either compatibility or satisfactory negotiations on this one point alone. And this is definitely related to the strongest of Capricorn Traits so I highly recommend that here. Capricorns love money, more accurately they love the security money can buy. Well that’s a bit off too. They love the security that being debt free brings them. And a big pile of money in the bank just makes it that much better. Not that they are cheap. Capricorns love nice things, very very nice things. They want the best of the best and have the taste to recognize it when they see it. And as long as they are secure (i.e. debt free and have a pile of money in the bank and a large source of funds to keep it that way) they are more than happy to spend on the finer things in life. So if you’re a security minded Virgo or Taurus, this will work for you. You can rest assured your man is taking care of business and building that nest egg to keep you safe and secure in your retirement. If on the other hand you’re one of the more freewheeling, shopping spree types like Libra, Gemini and Leo – you may want to reconsider if your Capricorn hasn’t yet arrived where he wants to be. You’ll just end up feeling stifled and like you’ve married the cheapest bastard on the planet.

Capricorn Traits - Strong, Silent, Stready

Another of the strongest Capricorn traits is steadiness. Being an earth sign, Capricorn is very down to earth and grounded. Solid. This is great if you need a shoulder to cry on as they are much more sensitive and compassionate than their gruff first impressions may lead you to believe. Many Capricorns are born Knights in Shining Armor. They have a great appreciation for women and want to see them treated properly. They will want to come to your defense if they perceive you as being mistreated. This strength and chivalry combined with their tendency to being men of few words definitely puts them in the Strong and Silent type. At least from the outside, they appear to be…. And I feel pretty comfortable saying another strong one of the Capricorn Traits is his ability to converse at great (and I do mean Great) length on the subjects that matter to them. This is often their work as they derive so much of their self definition from their careers and success in them.

Capricorn Traits - Emotionally Detached

The other big deal when it comes to Capricorn Traits in marriage is their relationship with their emotions. The rebel/loner self perception they have makes emotional connecting a bit of a challenge. They are self sufficient and have generally had to be that way as the people in their lives (often mothers) haven’t been quite what they needed. So its hard for them to place trust in another human being, no matter how close to you they are. Emotions are dangerous things in the scheme of Capricorn traits. Emotions would lead you to spending money, being impractical and generally doing things that don’t make sense. A Capricorn is used to sacrificing his emotions when necessary to achieve his goals. This works well in bringing success in the office. Not so much in the bedroom.

So trick is, as with any other sign, know yourself. Know what’s important to you and what you are willing to sacrifice for the good of your relationship. The Capricorn Traits of drive, focus, being security minded and a bit of a loner may be a challenge for some and not others. Know yourself. Then you will know where is the best situation to give the love you have to offer. For the right woman, the Capricorn Traits make for a perfect match.

Horned Signs - The land of the stubborn

Aries(the Ram), Taurus(the Bull), and Capricorn(the Goat) have a little discussed commonality and are sometimes referred to as "The Horns" since all three animals have horns. I have heard it said before that only Horns can handle Horns as if these three should only date and mate with each other. That's a bit farther than I am willing to take it, however there is definitely a sense of sameness about these apparently unrelated signs.

The main component of this commonality is the ability to butt things down with their horns. This requires a dogged determination that leans toward blatant stubbornness. Faced with a challenge, Aries will try to go thru it, Taurus will want to trample it and Capricorn will attempt to go over it. These three love to have their way and will got to great lengths and even subject themselves to suffering to get it.

Whether this can be considered a good thing or a bad thing depends almost entirely on the maturity of the person in question. The stubbornness we are discussing here is the foundation for plunging into situations they aren't prepared to handle as well as having the willpower to continue to wear away at a challenge until it is defeated. In this context the Characteristic of Taurus, can be seen as strong, stubborn and slow but inevitable. The Aries personalities characteristics of aggression, domination and selfishness define this concept. The Capricorn traits would be disciplined, determined, stubborn and authoritative. While Taurus is a fixed sign and resistant to change, Aries and Capricorn are both Cardinal signs and considered initiators. Whatever their separate nuances, these three Horned Signs will get the job done - One way or Another.

Compatible Star Signs - Finding True Love

As we mentioned in our last post, everyone wants to find true love and astrology can be a helpful tool. It just comes down to understanding the energy flows between yourself and your lover and working with them, not against them. This blog covers more complex concepts than our first blog on this subject: Compatible Star Signs - Love Horoscopes Part I. You may want to refer to Mystic Diva's post: Astrology more than just your main Sign, to give you some background if you are new to astrology.

Compatible Star Signs - Sun Moon Relationships

In quick review, your Sun sign is how you present yourself to the world and your moon sign is how you relate emotionally. What you will be looking for in this case is a partner whose sun sign is the same as your moon sign - and preferably vice versa for the strongest connection. So a Leo with their moon in Capricorn would be well matched with a Capricorn with their moon in Leo. This way the way each person related emotionally would match their partners way of being in the world. This allows for a natural comfort and feeling of your partner providing what you need.

Compatible Star Signs - Mars Venus Relatioships

Another point of compatibility is the Mars Venus connection. If you are a woman you will want to look at the dynamic between his Mars and your Venus. If you are a man you will want to look at the dynamic between your Mars and her Venus. In these combinations, you can refer to part one to look for positive dynamics. Primarily, combinations of the same element work strongly here. A particularly positive aspect would be a water sign connection for example a Mars in Cancer with a Venus in Pisces.

Compatible Star Signs - Finding True Love

Everyone wants to find true love and astrology can be a helpful tool. There are lots of details that give clues to compatibility. We'll cover two of the basic concepts here. First the Elements of Fire, Water, Air and Earth and how they combine. Second, we'll investigate the concept of complimentary signs.

Compatible Star Signs - Elements

Of the four elements, we can create four compatible pairings. Just a reminder the twelve signs of the horoscope can be grouped into the four separate elements. Thinking of the characteristics of each element in nature will help in understanding their respective pairings.

Fire - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
Air - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn

The first compatible pairing of elements is Fire and Air. Air causes Fire to burn more brightly and without Air a Fire can not burn. Fire signs are the sparkling glow of the zodiac. They have zest, enthusiasm, charisma and charm. Paired with an Air sign, these characteristics are strengthened and they then have more to give to their Air sign lover and to the world. An excellent match, as long as the Air sign is willing to give of themselves first. Fire can be a little self involved. This means a Gemini, Libra or Aquarius would make a good match for an Aries, Leo or Sagittarius.

The second compatible pairing of elements is Water and Earth. Earth needs water to be fertile and allow things to grow. Water needs Earth to contain it as in a Lake. There is a mutually beneficial and naturally comfortable interchange between these two elements. The other thing to keep in mind here is that earth signs tend to be very fixed and unchanging. Remember that the Grand Canyon was created by water wearing away over time at seemingly immovable earth. This means a Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces would make a good match for a Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn.

The third compatible pairing of elements is Air and Water. Both Air and Water contain the element Oxygen. So there is a similiarity here that might not at first be evident. It is less of a mutually beneficial relationship than the previous two combinations. Here we see that the intellect of Air is more offset by the emotion of Water and vice versa. This is more of a balancing or cancelling out of excess than a complementary situation. This can offer either more struggle and conflict if the couple fights the differences or more security and reassurance if they cherish their differences. This means a Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces would make a good match for a Gemini, Libra or Aquarius.

The last type of compatible pairing is withing elements. This means an Earth sign would be good with an Earth sign, an Air with an Air, etc. This is more of a companionable pairing of like minded souls than a burning passionate love affair. This allows for more ease of understanding between the partners and also encourages an increase of their mutual shortfalls as there is not a different perspective to bounce off ideas.

Compatible Star Signs - Complementary Signs

The concept of complimentary signs is a derivation of the above mentioned compatibily. The basic idea is that you would be most compatible with a sign two signs from you in either direction. The order of signs is listed below for your reference.

Aries
Taurus
Gemini
Cancer
Leo
Virgo
Libra
Scorpio
Sagittarius
Capricorn
Aquarius
Pisces

For example a Libra is best paired with a Leo or a Sagittarius and a Scorpio is best paired with a Capricorn or a Virgo. In this scenario you will see that Fire is paired with Air and Earth with Water as discussed above. What is eliminated from consideration is the sign directly opposite from you. Opposite signs tend to be very physically attracted to each other but are so different in personality they tend to have a hard time maintaining a relationship. This method makes and easy reference for your ideal partner astrologically.

Scorpio Men in Love - How to Attract a Scorpio

Scorpio Men in Love - How to get your Man
Scorpio Men have a magnetism that attracts unquestionably. What's not to love about the man of mystery. Well, the stinger if you rub him the wrong way. So let's talk about how to catch him and how to keep him. And why you'll want to...

Scorpio Men in Love - What's the name of the game
Scorpio men are powerful and powerfully attractive. They have a bad reputation in love and its with just cause. Love is the area where their personal challenges are most likely to surface. He is highly defensive in his own strong silent way. And when his defenses are given cause or he thinks they are, a wicked vengeance is not far behind. Despite his secretive ways, he is a prolific lover and sensitive in the extreme. Bottom line, Scorpio is a lot to handle and handled properly, can definitely be worth it.

Scorpio Men in Love - How to attract a Scorpio man
Be attentive. Don't pretend to be attentive, actually listen. A Scorpio knows the difference. Be an individual, have your own opinions, just be sure you are respectful of his opinions. Know that in the end he will want to dominate and be comfortable with that. Make sure he knows you believe male domination is natural. Again, mean it. Scorpio sensibilities in reading people are not to be trifled with. Be honorable, honest and straightforward.

Scorpio Men in Love - How to keep him
Accept and rejoice in his dominance. Don't get into arguments - you will lose, the argument and possible him as well. Its fine to be amusing just don't ever make fun of his opinions. Learn to love water sports and activities. Spend time with successful people. Know that his home is his castle, respect the king and the castle and all should go well.

For the Love of Beauty - Venus

The planet Venus is the planet of love and beauty. It is about harmony, togetherness and pleasure. The placement of your Venus will describe your type of sex appeal. Venus rules all the finer things in life from material luxuries to the luxuries of the heart, love and happiness. Venus is the planet of high living and appreciating the wonders of life.

It governs sexual attraction. If you are a woman, it tells you what type of men you attract. If you are a man, it tells you what type of woman you are attracted to. It is part of the equation of the Mars - Venus interaction that describes and defines your relationship potential with a mate.

The positive side of Venus is a love of beauty combined with the good taste to create it. The downside of Venus is an attachment to luxury that leads to laziness, self-obsession and putting more emphasis on ease and pleasure than on discipline. Venus lends itself to materialism and a predisposition to constant spending. On the upside, it also lends the creativity that can generate large incomes to support your lavish lifestyle.

Venus moves in synch with the Sun and so will never be more than two signs from your birth sign.

Mars - Agression and Getting what you want

Mars is the planet of War. It is the masculine element, the acquisitive, agressive, domineering, get things done planet. Mars rules the way we attack problems and get what we want in life. Its the planet of physical energy and expression and rules your sex drive, temper and how you handle conflict.

Mars rules the creative force of bringing ideas into being in the physical world. It is the planet of force and getting your way with people. It is the planet of desire, sexuality and passion. It is the planet of energy.

Your leadership skills and ability to execute plans falls under Mars' sway. How you deal with conflict, obstacles and people who disagree with you or plans is ruled by this placement. Being direct, having a strong force of will and being able to bend people and situations to your needs are all signs of a strong Mars placement.

As with all influences, the impact of this sign is based upon how you use its forces. Strong, active, quick, independent, enterprising, pioneering leader are some of the descriptives of someone operating out of the positive energy of this sign. Argumentative, hostile, aggressive, controlling and impulsive are some of the negative side. Mars represents your raw power and ability to exert your will. How will you use it?

Mercury - The planet of the Mental World

Mercury is the planet of the Mind. It rules intelligence, communication and the pace of life. The flavor and style of your thinking are guided by Mercury's influences. How you acquire, assimilate and use information comes from Mercury. Short-term, local travel and transportation also find their ruler here. Many occupations are associated with this sign - actors, speechwriters, singers, songwriters, public speakers, researchers, educators, truck drivers, railroad workers, writers and storytellers.

The bright side of mercury is a quick mind with a talent for communication, attention to detail, organization or the manipulation of words or numbers. The dark side of Mercury is swindling, forgery and con artists; a tendency to be critical, argumentative and sneaky; Lies and deceit are also born here.

Like Venus, Mercury travels close to the sun. So your Mercury will never be more than one sign either way from your Sun sign.

Characteristic of Zodiac Sign

Characteristic of Zodiac Sign can be broken down into three main categories - Elements, Duplicities, Quadruplicities - with each sign having its own unique combination.

Characteristic of Zodiac Sign - Duplicities
Masculine - Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius
Feminine - Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces

Characteristic of Zodiac Sign - Elements (Triplicities)
Fire - Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earth - Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Air - Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Water - Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces

Characteristic of Zodiac Sign - Quadruplicities
Cardinal - Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn
Fixed - Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius
Mutable - Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces

The Moon - Your Emotional Planet

The moon represents your relationship with your emotions. It guides how you express your emotions, what your emotional needs are and your perspective on how emotions should be dealt with. For this reason it is a critical planet in terms of foretelling compatibility.

The placement of your moon is the second strongest influence in your chart. Where the Sun is how others see you, the moon is how you see yourself. The combination of your Sun sign, your moon sign and your rising sign is what gives you the unique energy that is the basis of your personality. The moon is the unconscious, instinctive, intuitive side of your personality - the often hidden side.

The moon has a bright and dark side. The depths of your emotional despair, your jealousies, hatreds and dark moments stem from your connection to the moon. As does your deepest expression of love, your relationship with yourself, your expression of joy pleasure and beauties of life. The moon encompasses the full range of your emotions.

Saturn Returns - The shake up of Your Life

Saturn is the planet of responsibility, commitments, obligations and consequences. It takes Saturn approximately 28 years to complete a full cycle thru the zodiac. So at approximately 28, Saturn returns to the sign it was in when you were born. When this happens, you will have the opportunity to reevaluate your life and bring it more in line with your actual wants and needs as opposed to those you may have learned from your parents or society.

Its a time of shaking things up. You may discover after years of schooling and lots of time working your way up in your law firm, that you really don't want to be a lawyer. Or maybe you married young and you realize this person is more of who you thought you were supposed to marry than someone you actually want to be with. You may change careers, spouses, buy or sell a home, relocate, go back to school or generally just change the direction of your life.

This is most often a reflexive process. Sometimes it will require thought and deliberation to decide where you want to go. Most often though it is just a realization of dissatisfaction with your life and a desire to change. Many people, feel the urge to change and start making steps towards it without even realizing what drastic changes it will lead to. This can be very stressful.

The important thing to remember is that you will be better off once this change has occurred. You may suffer loss or a sense of loss from the things you are leaving behind. However, its the start of a new chapter in your life and its a chapter you will love once you get past the growing pains of new beginnings.

Zodiac Signs Meanings - More than just your Main Sign

Zodiac Signs Meanings - It isn't just about the month you were Born.

"Hey baby, what's your sign." Astrology has worked its way into popular culture and most people know what sign they are...and yet, most people don't have the full picture. The sign most people know is called your Sun Sign. The point of astrology is not to divide the world into twelve different type of people and pretend that all Capricorns are the same or that every Pisces must have the same daily destiny as every other Pisces. Let's take a look at what else is involved.

Zodiac Signs Meanings - Its in the stars

Astrology is based on the concept that the stars (and planets) being in a specific space at the time you were born affects your personality. In effect, the energy being given off of each of the planets based on their placement gave you an inclination to behave or see things in certain ways. I found this a stretch personally until I started investigating the astrological information of my family and loved ones and saw the trends in action myself. I suggest you do the same - it can be very enlightening.

Zodiac Signs Meanings - Your full chart

The astrological format that explains where the stars and planets were at the time of your birth is called a Natal Chart or Birth Chart. It is necessary to see your full chart to understand how the stars and planets sat in the sky at the time you were born. There are an almost infinite number of combinations of placements so each chart is practically unique. So someone born on the same day as you in a different year would only have one little component the same as you for certain - their Birth Sign. So this explains the differences between different Sagittarius' for example.

Zodiac Signs Meanings - The time and location of your birth matter

Not only are you unique from the standpoint of your chart having more detail than just your main sign. Your chart will also be different based upon what time and where on the earth you were born. Two strong components of your birth chart, your rising sign and your moon sign are determined based on the time and location of your birth. The rising sign changes every two hours and the moon moves in and out of signs every few days. Only by knowing when and where you were born can these two factors be calculated. In addition, a more complex factor of your chart - houses - are based entirely on the placement of your rising sign so having an incorrect or unknown birth time can leave you without a complete birth chart.

Birth Charts are very complex and learning to read one is a project in itself. If you'd like to read more about Birth Charts, see this link Natal Charts for more information. Below is a sample of a natal chart.

Pisces Characteristics

Pisces is the sign of self-deception and illusion. The strongest of the Pisces characteristics is compassion. A feeling water sign, Pisces are intuitive, receptive, emotional, adaptable and changeable. Their hidden depths and inner conflicts make them prone to dramatic situations and unbalanced people which reinforce their conflicting desires and extremes of temperament.

Prone to dreaminess, self-delusion, escapism and vagueness Pisces are highly susceptible to drugs and alcohol or any other route of escape from themselves. This submersion in the emotional, however makes them ideally suited to being deeply intuitive, able to connect with people on a deep emotional level and strong in mystic and dream related environments. They excel in situations that require the ability to adapt to change and work with amazing skill in dealing with a friend in need.

Aquarius Characteristics

The main focus of Aquarius characteristics is uniqueness. An Aquarius will just tend to think outside of the box, originality, breaking of the norms and a rebellious streak are all possible expressions of this tendency. Most often however, an Aquarius has a strong inner struggle to attempt to fit in with the "regular world". Feeling different, out of place and alone many Aquarians will have challenges with substances, legal or illegal, which help them take the edge off their solitude.

Another big one of the Aquarius characteristics is seeing the big picture for humanity. Independent, progressive and analytically minded, Aquarius sees what that world needs and make personally pick up the banner of the cause to march off and make it happen. As the sign of hopes and dreams, Aquarius sees the potential of what the world could be and what humanity needs and is willing to do something about it.

Very social creatures, Aquarius appreciates friends loves to socialize and give a great party(which is sometimes made all the more fabulous by the above mentioned substances). Possibly because of their tendency to feel like outsiders, those that they connect with become very important to them. Once a friend with an Aquarius, always a friend of that Aquarius.

A few more Aquarius Characteristics: Assertive, Original & Inventive, Innovative, Unconventional, and sometimes eccentric with strong dislikes and firm opinions which can lead to obstinancy. Some general Aquarius likes and dislikes - Likes: Freedom, Friends, Uniqueness, Intellectual challenge Dislikes: Hard work, restrictions and rules, inequality, emotions. Being ruled by Uranus, the planet of change, adds to their love of the unexpected and inventive.

Capricorn Traits

The strongest of Capricorn traits is steadiness. Ambitious, determined, hard working, disciplined, focused and security minded, Capricorn is the taskmaster of the zodiac. Somewhat stern and sad, Capricorn finds his long hard road to the top a struggle that often leaves him feeling alone. All this practicality and sense of purpose is slightly offset by your grand sense of humor.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn the planet of restriction, obstacles, responsibility, limitation and discipline. Your self-sufficiency distances you from others as you may appear cold. Underneath, though, you are a compassionate, sensitive, sympathetic person. The quintessential strong silent type, Capricorn works hard and reaps the rewards.

Characteristics of Sagittarius

The first and foremost of the characteristics of Sagittarius is Optimism. A Sagittarius is a philosopher - a discoverer of new ideas, hopefully found in distant places, higher learning, exploration, broad concepts. Energetic, Ambitious, freedom-loving, Sagittarius loves a challenge!

Ruled by the planet Jupiter which embodies abundance, Sagittarius bears good fortune and is expansive with a generous nature. Sagittarius loves to travel. Enthusiastic and restless, your love of life will lead you to many fabulous places. Hopefully you'll find a way to take companionship with you instead of always leaving a jealous lover stuck at home while you're out on the road again.

Emotionally distant in relationships which Sagittarius fears will lead to restriction of their freedom-filed life, they are by contrast happy to make fast friendships. Helpful with a strict "no-strings attached" motto, people appreciate your open hearted favors. You mind your own business and do not meddle in others affairs. All that energy, your great sense of humor and your natural talent with being an entertainer make you popular and the life of the party.

Characteristics Libra

The strongest of the Characteristics Libra exhibits is Charm. Diplomatic, easygoing, artistic, tasteful, polished Libra is very socially inclined. They thrive on romance, harmony and refinement. Lavish in their taste and their spending, nothing is too good for the Libra in your life. Ruled by Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, Libra loves beauty.

The eternal idealist you want to see the good in all people and situations. You do everything in your power to please and maintain balance and harmony. Libra is the sign of marriage and partnership and those born in this sign rarely thrive outside of a union. Sticklers for fairness, lovers of justice, the only place a Libra deviates from this is if it involves hard work for them. In that case, not so interested, you'd rather be at the party.

Virgo Characteristics

The strongest of the Virgo characteristics is conscientiousness. With their keen attention to detail and ability to process large quantities of data, Virgo is the ideal perfectionist. This strength also leads to their greatest weakness a strong tendency to be critical, even hypercritical. But if you need to be sure something is going to get done. Let a Virgo do it. They are the consummate "get 'er done" crew.

Natural worker bees, Virgo is industrious, painstaking, of service to others and practical. Highly analytical, they seek to gather data to know and understand. They are run by logic. This can lead to problems in personal relationships as they often have trouble putting the logical computer away long enough to connect with people emotionally. They also have a propensity for being high-strung. Unfortunately for them all this critical analysis is most often directed most strongly at themselves which only stresses them out all the more.

Virgo - Efficient and emotionally detached.

Characteristic of Taurus

Taurus is the most dependable sign. A main characteristic of Taurus is a high regard for money and material things. A Taurus loves his things and loves to collect them. He may even cling to his possessions quite a bit and certainly be possessive of them.

Taurus' sign is the bull. And like the bull, Taurus is strong and stubborn. This stubborn tendency most often shows up as a resistance to change. Taurus is also quiet, affectionate, patient, stable, practical and determined.

As an earth sign Taurus is grounded in realism, reality and what can be seen with the senses and understood with logic. Ruled by the planet Venus, this reality focused, material loving sign takes on a taste for the finer things and enjoys the luxuries of life.
