Zodiac Sign Descriptions

Descriptions of each zodiac sign

Aries...the impulse to be...the will to survive. It is the Spring Equinox...the Season of lengthening light. Seeds that have been slumbering below the ground since harvestime of the previous Autumn push upward, eager to be born. The sprout bursts forth into a new world, which is cold and often unpredictable. The innocent possess the courage to take on life and the fortitude to survive the winds of March.

Taurus...the desire to be...the appreciation of earthly sensation. Spring seeks and finds fullness. The air is rife with the melodies of life...in the rushing of the stream and the harmonious trill of the bird. The Earth is lush and green...an inviting place. The community tends to crops and hands are dug deep into the soil. Domesticated animals breed. May Day is an abandoned celebration of sensuality and delight in all that the Earth has to offer.

Gemini...the impulse to bloom and pollinate...buzz and share. The Season of Spring enters its final phase and the sprout of the Equinox is now in full bloom. Bees buzz busily from blossom to blossom and bright breezes carry the pollen. Everything seeks to know the other and life is effervescent in its enthusiasm. With the work of Spring completed, it is time to visit neighboring hamlets and share in the stories of Winter.

Cancer...the impulse to protect and nest. The Summer Solstice makes its entrance. Cancer begins with the longest day of the year. Full bloom gives way to the freshly-formed fruit and long, warm days summon forth new creatures into the world. The Earth is protective of her young and, in private reverie, reflects on the chain of life.

Leo...the urge to shine...the desire to be. Summer reaches fullness and the days are hot. With growing done, only ripening remains to be completed. Wheat dons its golden husks and the cheeks of crisp apples adopt a radiant blush. The early harvest fruits are the most succulent in this, the Season of Plenty. The world is now a stage and each individuals wants to shine like a star upon its burnished boards.

Virgo...the need to organize and analyze...to prepare for the harvest. Summer comes to its inevitable end as life adds a final touch to perfect the harvest. It is now time to store the bounty of the Earth. Life analyses this bounty, the needs of the community and plans the crop for the year which will follow. A detailed and organized determination is made. Some grain will serve as feed...some as future seed.

Libra...the need to partner...the urge to bring together. It is the dawn of the Fall Equinox. Day and night pause at a point of equality. Light dwindles as nights grow long. An awareness of chilly evenings soon to come creates the desire to share a nest. The crisp air of the day is a canvas of leaf paintings and the delicate filigree of early frost. With preparation and organization completed, the community gathers for the harvest of fruit and grains. Time in the sun has come to an end.

Scorpio...the desire to go beneath the surface...to merge. Life upon Earth's exterior mantle dies. The strength of the plant returns to the root, the potential of the flower secreted in the seed. Below the surace, life burns...waiting to erupt. The visible world has vanished, but mystery remains and individuals learn to see with more than merely the eye. With patience, the hidden lifeforce will wait...and plot its return.

Sagittarius...the desire to contemplate, to understand and to philosophize. The work of the Season is done. The harvest is stored and hopefully in sufficient abundance to serve the community until Spring. Fires burn brightly in hearths, illuminating the darkness of night and casting pictures upon the wall. Within imagination, visits are made to faraway places. The mind ponders on life's greater purpose...the meaning of existence and its purpose on Earth.

Capricorn...the need to conserve...the survival of the clan. Born on the longest night of the year, Capricorn enters on the heels of the Winter Solstice. The world is cold with limited resources and the harvest must be made to last until Spring. Light and heat are precious commodities, but the silence of a clear winter night is often likened to that of a lullaby. There is a struggle for space within the hierarchy of the community. Darkness is a dominating factor, but each new day tarries a little longer than the one before, demonstrating a slow but steady climb toward warmer times. Eventually, the Year will begin again.

Aquarius...the urge to individuate. Confined within the shelter but awakened by the lengthening light, the social animal demands freedom. The spark of such desire becomes apparent in all life...the bear in the cave and the sprout within the seed. Those imprisoned by the cold of Winter are summoned by the increasing day. Individuals observe those around them, fascinated by human nature. Together, each individual squirrel recalls the timetable followed by all squirrels and a great choir sings, "I want to be me!"

Pisces...the need to dissolve, to shape-shift and become one with a larger truth. Spring is not far away. Winter wants to dissolve into a new cycle of growth. The ice desires to melt and return once more to the oceans and seas. It seeps into the ground, becoming one with the soil, and rises into the air to encircle the Earth and return as rain. The seed gives up the shell that makes it a seed, in order that it might now become a sprout...birth requires sacrifice. The old must persih for the new to discover itself. This is the Season which knows what others might question...the great mystical oneness that transcends all physical form, time and space.
