Astrology - The Sun Signs
Aries
The Sun in Aries represents new beginnings. Individuals born under this sun sign are full of enthusiasm and creative energy. They are enterprising, action-oriented, and full of ambition. They are at their best when they can guide, control, and govern themselves or others, as they have the innate ability to plan out the future and map out the best routes to get there successfully. They hate to be tied down, need their independence, and are happiest when they are in the thick of activity (and usually at the head of it!) They are ready to apply this energy to initiate new enterprises. Never intimidated by failure, the individual is always ready to overcome obstacles and seek new challenges. These people have a strong desire to lead the way for others, finish first, and prove themselves more through actions and deeds than through words. As a rule, they may "get their feet wet" in many different things without realizing the commitment or giving the complete attention necessary to succeed.

Taurus
With a Taurean, there is a definite need for security. This desire extends to all aspects of one's life, particularly relationships. This person enjoys the good things in life and will work hard to obtain those material goods which bring both comfort and pleasure. Individuals are extremely loyal to both friends and loved ones, sometimes loyal to the point of being jealous of others affections as well as belongings. Thus, one must try to realize what is most important in human relationships is respect and true understanding rather than blind devotion and possessiveness.

Gemini
The Gemini character is marked by mental agility and activity. The individual likes to think and act quickly and decisively. Thirst for knowledge is as great as the eagerness to study and learn new things. As a rule, the Geminian has a definite need for intellectual security in all relationships. These people tend to be their own persons, doing things their own way. As such, they are nonconformists, and tend to fight tradition and the status quo. The Geminian will not hesitate to question things that are "written in stone", believing in them only after careful and diligent examination.

Frequently, this domestic joy will be extended to work and encompass friends. The Cancer character is marked by being very protective of both one's self and loved ones. As a rule they are generally introverted among acquaintances but are open and fiercely loyal to close friends and family members. There is a tendency to shy away from crowded places and seek shelter in lonely places.

Leo
The Sun in Leo marks one who has a strong will and great ambition. These people usually enjoy being the center of attention and desire others to think well of them. Their creative accomplishments generally put them in the spotlight, usually outshining coworkers who may become jealous of their proud attitude. Leos are more concerned with the "big picture" than with the numerous small details in life. As such, they tend to enjoy being in authority and using whatever means are available to achieve their desires. Tact should be developed when dealing with those the Leonian finds "inferior".

Scorpio
Scorpios are marked by intense emotion and desire. To others, their willfulness and strength may be interpreted as a sign of stubbornness, but it is really a manifestation of a great desire to do everything perfectly, sometimes overworking themselves to get the job done. Typically, they engage in intense romantic relationships and always appear strong and compassionate to those who look to them for support and strength. This may occasionally mask their own insecurities and prevent them from seeking help from others, making them introverted.

Capricorn
Capricornian nature is marked by being practical and self-reliant. Patience and persistence, especially in achieving success through constant hard work are the person's trademarks, as well as having faith in one's self and ability to handle all the difficulties of life. Although these individuals are warm and friendly to close friends, they are somewhat aloof and closed to strangers. Being somewhat self-centered, natives are eager, though, to sacrifice for others and receive sympathy and appreciation from those they respect or those in authority.

Aquarius
Brotherhood and love of freedom mark the character of an Aquarian. They make friends easily and are concerned with every aspect relating to the human condition. For the Aquarian, honesty and sincerity reign over the accepted conventions, and thus they may sometimes upset the status quo. Outwardly, the Aquarian may appear calm, but in reality, they are usually anxious and apprehensive since they take work and friendships so seriously. The individuals should realize that to improve their character they must understand limitations and apply them in the most effective manner possible.

Pisces
The Piscean native is extremely sensitive to the thoughts and feelings of others. Lack of strong willpower is made up for by their sympathy for those they come in contact with, especially the poor, weak, or downcast. Generosity is occasionally bountiful, but usually to those who are "worthy" in the individual’s mind. As a rule, the Piscean is good-natured and benevolent but is frequently shy and reserved around others. "Moderation" is a keyword for the Piscean as the duality of this sign keeps them on an even keel, content in the background, frequently keeping them from speaking up and taking a stand on an issue.
