Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
The Bull Taurus is an Earth sign represented by the Bull. Like their celestial spirit animal, Taureans enjoy relaxing in serene, bucolic environments, surrounded by soft sounds, soothing aromas, and succulent flavors.
Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
The Twins Have you ever been so busy that you wished you could clone yourself? That’s the Gemini experience in a nutshell. Appropriately symbolized by the celestial Twins, this air sign was interested in so many pursuits that it had to double itself.
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Libra (September 23 - October 22)
The Scales Libra is an air sign represented by the scales (interestingly, the only inanimate object of the zodiac), an association that reflects Libra's fixation on balance and harmony. Libra is obsessed with symmetry and strives to create equilibrium in all areas of life.
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21)
The Scorpion Scorpio is one of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac. Because of its incredible passion and power, Scorpio is often mistaken for a fire sign. In fact, Scorpio is a water sign that derives its strength from the psychic, emotional realm.
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
The Archer Sagittarius is represented by the archer, and like arrows launching into the sky, Sagittarians are always on a quest for knowledge. The last fire sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius launches its many pursuits like blazing arrows, chasing after geographical, intellectual, and spiritual adventures.
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)
The Goat The last earth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn is represented by the sea goat, a mythological creature with the body of a goat and the tail of a fish. Accordingly, Capricorns are skilled at navigating both the material and emotional realms.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
The Water Bearer Despite the "aqua" in its name, Aquarius is actually the last air sign of the zodiac. Aquarius is represented by the water bearer, the mystical healer who bestows water, or life, upon the land. Accordingly, Aquarius is the most humanitarian astrological sign.
Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
The Fish Pisces, a water sign, is the last constellation of the zodiac. It's symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing the constant division of Pisces's attention between fantasy and reality. As the final sign, Pisces has absorbed every lesson — the joys and the pain, the hopes and the fears — learned by all of the other signs.
