Alternative Descriptions For Signs Of The Zodiac

    All twelve signs are within your astrological chart and they each indicate certain characteristics operating within our lives.  Life is a work in progress and each of us have our own unique journey to make us the person we came here to be.  The following descriptions will hopefully give more insight into the Zodiac signs and how they all play a role in our personal development.  Something a lil' bit different than the traditional Aries the Ram or Taurus the Bull.

Aries

The Initiator

Represents the primary concept of getting things started.  Fiery ignition and a bright beginning can prove to be necessary for new life, but the Initiator can appear before a situation is ready for change and create disruption.

Taurus

The Maintainer

Sustains what Aries has begun.  Brings stability and focus into the picture.  There also can be a tendency to try and maintain something without allowing for new growth.

Gemini

The Questioner

Seeks to determine whether alternatives are possible and offers options to the processes Taurus has brought into stability. Questioning also leads to distraction, which can scatter energy and diffuse focus.

Cancer

The Nurturer

Provides the qualities necessary for growth and security and encourages a deepening awareness of emotional needs.  This same nurturing can stifle if it becomes too smothering.

Leo

The Loyalist

Directs the experiences Cancer feeds.  Powerfully targeted toward self-awareness, but can be short-sighted.  Holding steadfastly to viewpoints or feelings can inhibit new experiences.

Virgo

The Modifier

Analyzes the situations Leo brings and determines possibilities for change.  This change is in the name of improvement.  If not directed in harmony with higher needs it can lead to dissatisfaction with the self.

Libra

The Judge

Constantly comparing everything to be sure that certain levels of perfection are presented.  Can also present possibilities that are harsh and seem to be cold or without feeling.

Scorpio

The Catalyst

Steps into the play of life to provide the quality of alchemical transformation.  The Catalyst can stir the brew just enough to create a healing potion, or may get things going to such a powerful extent that they boil out of control.

Sagittarius

The Adventurer

Moves away from Scorpio's dimension to seek what lies beyond the horizon.  Continually looks for answers to the ultimate questions, but may forget the pathway back home.

 

Capricorn

The Pragmatist

Attempts to put everything into the rightful place and find ways to make life work out right.  Can teach lessons of practicality and determination.  Becomes highly self-righteous when shortsighted.

Aquarius

The Reformer

Looks for ways to take what Capricorn has built and bring it up to date.  There is also a tendency to scrap the original in favor of a new plan that may not have the stable foundation necessary to operate effectively.

Pisces

The Visionary

Brings mysticism and imagination.  Challenges the soul to move beyond the physical plane and into the realm of what might be.  Can pierce the veil and return enlightened to the physical world.  The challenge is to avoid getting lost within the illusion of an alternate reality.

     The Sun is the symbol of the ego and represents your drive to be noticed.  Most people relate to the ideas of their Sun Sign, since it is tied to their sense of personal identity.  But your Sun sign is just one of many factors that describes who you are.
