Element: Water     Key Planet: Neptune

Motto: “Reality is just a shared illusion.”
Greatest Strength: Your compassion for those in need
Possible Weakness: Confusion can put you at a disadvantage

Fish appear to be individuals, but have you ever seen a school of them swimming together? They act as one. Each is part of a greater whole. And you Pisces Fish are more aware of your interdependency than any other sign. It’s as if you live in an ocean and the spirit that flows through you is like the one ocean that flows through all fishes. The symbol of the Fish is also the symbol of Christianity, the predominant religion during the past two thousand years — also known to astrologers as the “Age of Pisces.”

Element: Fire     Key Planet: Mars

Motto: “Feel now, figure it out later!”
Greatest Strength: Your willingness to let go of the past
Possible Weakness: Staying cool under pressure

Emotions rise hot and fast, but can fall just as quickly because you live so much in the present. The intensity of the moment can carry you to great heights or depths, but you’re not likely to stay in either extreme for very long. When you’re done, you’re done. As a fire sign, Aries isn’t a particularly reflective place for the Moon. You’re not one to talk much about your emotional processes. You just have them, then move on. In fact, discussing your feelings and justifying or explaining them to others infringes upon your need for independence. You may get bored easily, requiring fresh challenges to maintain a high level of interest, which is why you can be so good at emergency situations where your spontaneity and rapid responses work so well.

Element: Earth     Key Planet: Saturn

Motto: “The buck stops here.”
Greatest Strength: Taking on the tough jobs
Possible Weakness: Not being tender with yourself

Capricorn Rising means you may wear a serious expression on your face. It’s not that you can’t have fun, because you certainly know how to play. But business comes first since you probably have had a strong sense of responsibility your entire life. Whenever you’re involved, you feel like it’s up to you to ensure a favorable outcome. This usually goes along with being well-organized, and even if you’re not into details, you have a good sense of strategy. You don’t generally open up to people right away because it’s important to know where you stand first. It’s not that you’re necessarily trying to control what they’re doing, but you certainly want total control over yourself. Fortunately, though, you’re practical enough to know when it’s best to give ground.

Mantra: I am proud of who I am.

Efficient and intelligent, Roosters love to show off their talents. They want to be the center of attention but at the same time are very generous to their friends and loved ones. They appear outwardly very strong-willed and energetic but are actually full of fear and worries on the inside. Committed to themselves, Roosters are hypercritical of everything and everyone, especially if they are not getting enough respect from the other animals on the farm. They can be inflexible and compulsive, with beliefs and opinions that tend toward fanaticism.
