The twelve
All sign guidesAries
Fire
March 21 – April 19
Starts the year, and would rather begin than wait for a cleaner plan.
Taurus
Earth
April 20 – May 20
Builds slowly, trusts what can be touched, and hates being rushed out of a good thing.
Gemini
Air
May 21 – June 20
Thinks by talking, collects options, and gets restless when a life has only one door.
Cancer
Water
June 21 – July 22
Protects a private world, remembers everything, and leads by taking care of the room.
Leo
Fire
July 23 – August 22
Wants a life with a warm center, and will work hard to be someone worth gathering around.
Virgo
Earth
August 23 – September 22
Improves what is in front of them, and suffers when the improvement never feels finished.
Libra
Air
September 23 – October 22
Starts things by making a relationship fair enough that both people can stay.
Scorpio
Water
October 23 – November 21
Trusts slowly, sees the motive under the sentence, and does not do halfway.
Sagittarius
Fire
November 22 – December 21
Aims at a bigger map, tells the truth bluntly, and gets cramped by a life that is only local.
Capricorn
Earth
December 22 – January 19
Takes responsibility early, builds in public, and needs a private life that is not another job.
Aquarius
Air
January 20 – February 18
Thinks in systems and friendships, and resists a life that requires them to be ordinary on someone else's terms.
Pisces
Water
February 19 – March 20
Feels the weather of a room, makes meaning from it, and needs a boundary the feeling cannot erase.
