Any planet or cusp in Aries, especially the Sun or the ascendant, acts as an initiator. It is assertive, energetic, enthusiastic, restless, and enterprising. Expect action in the areas of your chart with Aries planets or Aries on the cusp. They are competitive wanting to be Number 1. Expect them to be "on time" because they don’t want to miss anything. However, they would rather plan and get activities started than carry them out after they are started.

TAURUS

Now we have an area of your chart where you are patient, dependable, and full of stamina to see things through. Taurus is productive and practical with great determination. They want emotional and material security, and do not like to be rushed. Though money and the business of life are important to them, they must also have some artistic expression. They are genuinely fond of food and the comforts of home. Possessiveness and stubbornness are characteristics of Taurus too.

GEMINI

Planets sin Gemini show a need for knowledge and an eagerness to study. They think and act quickly, and are happiest when they have more than one dominant interest. They must have change and activity. Being ideal companions or friends, they cannot be alone wanting to share studies, fun, even clothing and money. They rarely lose control in emergencies and often enjoy great popularity. Being non-conformists, they must remain different from those around them not liking to be bound to any particular person or place.

CANCER

These are the nurturers of the zodiac with a strong need for security, which they often lacked as children. They cannot be helped by criticism and are masters of the art of passive resistance. The ideas of others confuse them, so they have to do things their own way. Moody and sensitive, their feelings are easily hurt even when no hurt is intended. They do well in advertising or sales since they’re also sensitive to the needs of the public. They respond to life through feelings rather than the mind with a tendency to live in the past.

LEO

Like the s5th house (the house of creativity and pleasure), these people are creative and joyful, but one has an unhappy Leo if that person is not allowed to carry out his creative ideas. Praise and recognition bring out their very real abilities and generous nature. Once Leo gives affection, he does not change easily. Though he wants people to think well of him, he must approve of himself, even sacrificing public approval for self-approval. He often thinks in thems of "I" rather than "we" so he may have to learn cooperation often because he genuinely thinks he is the best person for a job. He loves the spotlight.

VIRGO

This sign of service and work is at its best in occupations requiring careful attention to minute details such as nursing, accounting, or teaching. Their purpose in life is to be analytical. Carried too far, this can manifest as being critical. With this fine attention to details, they are often leaders in fashion. Health and diet interest them too. They have no use for shoddy workmanship, and they expect much of themselves as well. They like bringing order out of confusion since they can see flaws others do not see. Saving money is difficult for them.

LIBRA

These natural peacemakers are known for their charm and ability to make things attractive and beautiful. More than any other sign, Libra thinks in terms of the other person. This can be carried to an extreme of not knowing their own mind until they know what others think about a subject. They desire popularity and approval and do not like working alone. Marriage is extremely important to Libra. Though sweet and diplomatic on the surface, underneath the velvet glove is a fist of iron. In their rare expressions of anger, they leave nothing unsaid.

SCORPIO

Scorpios are not easy to get to know since much lies hidden beneath the surface. They are not especially gregarious because they are more interesting to themselves than others are to them. Though strong and emotional, their emotions do not show on the surfaced. Stubborn and secretive, they may hold a grievance overly long. No other sign can be such a potent force for good or evil. Despising weakness in themselves or others, they will help others – once. Then the person is expected to stand on his own. Most are dynamic, resourceful people.

SAGITTARIUS

Sagittarian’s friendly, outgoing, and optimistic nature brings them much "luck." As a result they like sports, gambling, and taking chances. There is usually a love of the outdoors and an urge to expand their world. They can visualize undertakings on a grand scale. After the middle years their interests turn more to the spiritual side of life. They can be blunt in speech but never intend to hurt anyone. Being procrastinators, they are not fond of domestic tasks, so their homes often leave much to be desired. These deep thinkers are at home with ideas, principles, and beliefs.

CAPRICORN

A wonderful sense of humor often hides a serious nature that has seen more than its share of troubles. They are conservative and concerned about what others think of them. They will protect their good name and reputation even at the cost of personal sacrifice. Capable of leadership, patience, persistence, efficiency and practicality, they make good executives. Most are "old" when they are young and "young" when they are old. Many show love through work. Everything has to be sensible to them. Though good disciplinarians, they do not always understand the other person’s feelings.

AQUARIUS

People with planets in Aquarius tend to be original and humanitarian. One will experience this in matters of the house with Aquarius on the cusp too. Relating to people on a mental level, they find their friends to be extremely important to them, and they probably have more friends or acquaintances than any other sign. Also there seem to be more beautiful or handsome people in this sign than others with Libras and Geminis being close seconds and thirds. There is an honest enjoyment in meeting new people and exchanging ideas. They are truly unique, independent, or even eccentric.

PISCES

These sympathetic, compassionate people are calm in the midst of excitement or in an emergency often finishing work begun by others. They can be lazy or the other extreme, industrious, methodical, and logical. They are lovers of order, neatness, and completeness or the opposite. They are easily influenced. They love animals and animals are drawn to them. Having much charm and a sense of humor, some have admirable dramatic ability and can excel in music, dancing, and art. Most own many pairs of shoes. In addition, they are blind to the defects of those they love and trust.
