The western zodiac is the most popular of all and it is based especially on the position of Sun and the specific constellation, for every sign. There are twelve signs and, unlike the Chinese astrology zodiac, their cycle of change is of almost 30 days (there are just as many signs as the number of months, in a year).The following information refers to various aspects of the twelve horoscope signs of the western zodiac and some general characteristics for the natives that should help you understand yourself and the ones that matter for you.



The first sign in the western zodiac is Aries (21 March- 20 April), the ruling planet of horoscope Aries is Mars, and the natives of this sign are self confident, independent, competitive, full of life and a bit self centered. The horoscope Taurus, the second sign (21 April- 21 May) is reigned by Venus, and it is a mark of a materialistic, rather simple and lusty personality that does not like conflicts and searches for harmony and satisfaction.

The horoscope Gemini (22 May- 21 June) evolves under the shadow of Mercury, giving oratorical talent, creativity, curiosity but also an inconstant personality to its natives. The horoscope Cancer (22 June- 22 July), influenced by the moon, is a mark of very cautious, protective, tender and sensitive, introverted and melancholic personality. The horoscope Leo (23 July- 22 August), having Sun as ruling planet, means pride, self confidence and strength, being a zodiac sign for bold, strong and rather arrogant persons.

The native horoscope Virgos (23 August- 21 September), with the reign of Mercury upon them, are usually modest, objective persons, paying attention to small details, and always searching for stability. The horoscope Libra (22 September- 22 October) is the astrological sign of the charming, extremely sociable persons, full of love and always searching for harmony in their relationship with others.

If you are a horoscope Scorpio (23 October- 21 November), then you're probably very refined, calculated, extremely decided in almost everything you do but also jealous. This jealousy can cause trouble when it comes to the match love horoscopes. For the native horoscope Sagittarius (22 November- 20 December), being friendly with everyone, passionate and tolerant is actually a way of life as he or she loves freedom.

The horoscope Capricorn (21 December- 19 January) is another name for discipline, loyalty and seriousness, while the native horoscope Aquarius (20 January- 18 February) is rebel, very creative and original, but he can push people away, sometimes, with his cold and distant attitude. Finally, the horoscope Pisces (19 February- 20 March) is a zodiac sign that can offer the following characteristics: friendly, very often a day dreamer, with a very complex personality, sensitive, with a good sense of humor. The native horoscope Pisces gives meaning to the words a friend in need is a friend indeed.
