Meanings And Symbols Of The 12 Zodiac Sign by olayinkaboss11(m): 4:38pm On Nov 10, 2017
Aries Zodiac Sign
Fire sign; ruled by Mars.
Courageous, energetic, willful, commanding, leading. Often leads when following would be best course of action.


The symbol for this sign is that of a ram for good reason. Aries is full of life and possesses high energy, which makes this sign always looking for a challenge. The typical Aries person is full of vitality, curiosity, and has a heightened sense of justice. They often excel at anything where a bit of competition is involved, whether this is of a cognitive nature or physical. The challenge is the thing. If there is a chance to win, to best someone, to show off abilities, Aries is in it to win it. The Aries person feels most alive when they are in control and leading others. They are often impatient and abrupt with those whom they feel are not their equals and are in a leadership position. Most Aries do not like being told what to do if the person in charge is less talented than they.
Aries is a fire sign which means that they tend to have the characteristics of fire: warm, vital, and bright. They can sometimes be impulsive and have hot tempters. However, they have a deep desire to protect and when they have harmed someone in error they will be the first to make amends. They are optimistic and are not given to depressive interludes (which makes them also intolerant of those that do).
Upside: Highly energetic, and has no problem working long hours on a single project. Often take the initiative experiencing new breakthroughs and discoveries. Aries are thorough, painstaking, and have a knack for precise records and clarity. They live hard, love hard, and play hard.
Downside: Aries have tunnel vision when working on a project which can make them seem selfish. They can become impatient with those who are not similar to themselves temperamentally and intellectually. The dedication to a project can become stubbornness, possessiveness, and can lead to a withdrawn and sullen attitude. Many Aries who do not feel acknowledged for their accomplishments become sarcastic and rude.

Taurus Zodiac Sign
Earth sign; ruled by Venus.
Pleasure seeking, loves control, dependable, grounded, provokes slowly, and highly sensual in nature.


Tarus’s symbol is the bull because this sign’s characteristic is to be peaceful and methodical. This sign is often very deliberate in their actions, relaxed, and enjoys all of the sensual pleasures that abound in this dimension. Food, drink, sex, luxury, are all sought after by the typical taruean. Because this sign loves luxury they are willing to work hard to obtain it. They are slow to anger, but once disturbed it can be volatile. Taurus signs look for stability in their lives and in their partners and co-workers. Taurus people are not in a hurry, typically, and it can take them many years to decide what it is that they would like to do for a living, or where they’d like to go on vacation. Many of this sign prefer to live in the country as they are drawn to the earth and the natural world. Earth signs tend to have solid, reputable natures, which coincides with the Earth.
Additionally, this sign takes a long time to fully commit to a relationship, but once they do they are in it for the long haul. Most Taurus males marry for life and are dedicated companions, parents, and lovers. Female Taurus are like male Taurus in that once they commit themselves to a relationship they are stubborn and slow to leave it. However, if Taurus women feel put upon, taken for granted, or unappreciated for long enough, they will leave.
Upside: Taurus people almost always finish what they start. They are deliberate thinkers and when making decisions usually make the right one. Taurus are generally adaptable, adjusting easily to new circumstances especially if there is the reward of luxury, comfort, or sensual reward. This sign loves to laugh and spend time with family.
Downside: Taurus can be stubborn and ‘bullish’ about ideas that they’ve adopted, which can also make them difficult to get along with when attempting to cooperate on a shared project. Taurus needs to be the leader and to be held in high esteem. If they are not, they refuse to work, often finding small ways to sabotage projects, relationships, or undermine authority that they deem unworthy of leadership.

Gemini Zodiac Sign
Air sign; ruled by Mercury
Cerebral, chatty, loves learning and education, charming, and adventurous.

The Gemini symbol is that of a pair of twins. This is because this sign rarely likes to do anything alone. Gemini are never happier than when they are sharing ideas and concepts with someone else. Communication is a key element for this sign, so many of this sign go into occupations that include some communication in some large capacity. Curiosity is a key characteristic of this sign, and they are people persons. Gemini are great at parties because they can find almost anything to talk about with anyone. Gemini are adventurous by nature and so engage in traveling as often as they can as it affords them the opportunity to meet new people, experience new ideas, and to learn new concepts.
Gemini are air signs, which means that they have light, airy personalities, with an effervescence that seems to draw people to them. This sign craves intellectual stimulation and often will push the envelope physically, mentally, and spiritually. If someone were to live out the book, Eat, Pray, Love it would be this sign as they are gluttons for new experiences, sometimes out of the box and out of the way experiences and people. This sign is also incredibly creative and are given to giant leaps of intuition, which makes them great entrepreneurs, designers, writers, speakers, and anything artistic. They love bright vibrant colors.
Upside: Gemini are great conversationalists, and are charming people. Interesting to speak with, Gemini know a little bit about a lot of things. They have a great sense of humor and are generally optimistic people. Gemini often make their own fun, despising boredom.
Downside: Gemini like to be the center of attention; always. When they perceive the situation to not be in their favor, they leave it. This can include relationships, careers, and friendships. Because of this need to be seen as important, Gemini will sometimes stretch the truth. When they are focused only on themselves they can be largely unsympathetic and rude. Male Gemini tend to change jobs often, and female Gemini change partners often due to boredom.
