Aquarius, the water or cup bearer. The eleventh astrological sign of the zodiac
Aquarius, the water bearer or cup bearer, is the eleventh astrological sign of the zodiac. If your birthday falls between January 20 – February 18, your sign is Aquarius.
Aquarius gets its name from the constellation of the same name, yet is no longer aligned with it due to the precession of the equinoxes. It’s a masculine, or positive – extroverted sign that’s now ruled by Uranus.
It’s also an air sign, and one of the four fixed signs. As such, people that are born under the Aquarius sign tend to be very outgoing and sociable types. They’re also typically intellectual and enjoy deep philosophical debates. They’re strong and focused with great stamina, but sometimes this is a disadvantage as they can often be inflexible and unyielding in their opinions.
Aquarius the constellation has several references in mythology. There doesn’t seem to be an agreement on which one is the true origin of the constellation, but one of the most famous is that it is based on Ganymede. Ganymede was a mortal hero and Trojan prince. He was so handsome in fact that Zeus fell in love with him and then abducted him in the form of an eagle. He then sent him to serve as the immortal cup bearer to the gods and to dispense mead to them.
Those that are born under Aquarius are intelligent and strong willed individuals with strong and sometimes conceited opinions. They’re often innovative and revolutionary in their ideas, but can be unpredictable and a little eccentric in achieving them. Some people see them as cold and detached, but as far as the different signs of the zodiac are concerned, they’re some of the most tolerant and altruistic ones. They do have high expectations though, and because of that they can be outspoken and temperamental.
Some good career matches for an Aquarius are ones that involve intellectual pursuits or entertainment. Scientists, researchers, computer programmers, engineers, managers, actors, musicians, and artists are a few that are a good fit.
Famous Aquarians include Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, Lord Byron, John Belushi, Douglas MacArthur, Franklin Roosevelt, Oprah Winfrey, John Travolta, Abraham Lincoln, and Paul Newman to name a few.

Sagittarius, the Archer. The ninth astrological sign of the zodiac
Sagittarius the archer, is the ninth sign of the zodiac. If your birthday falls between November 23 – December 21, then your astrological sign is Sagittarius.
Like most of the other astrological signs, Sagittarius is no longer aligned with the constellation from which it got it’s name due to the precession of the equinoxes.
Sagittarius is a masculine / extroverted positive sign. Because of this, those people that fall under this sign tend to be more extroverted and do well in most social situations. It’s also a mutable fire sign that’s ruled by the planet Jupiter, one of the more influential and powerful mythological gods, and is associated with good fortune.
In most accounts of mythology, Sagittarius is often shown as a centaur – half human, half horse. The greeks thought that centaurs were brave and adventurous creatures that were very wise, but had a proclivity for fighting and general unruly behavior. These traits are sometimes attributed to Sagittarians too. The symbol for Sagittarius is the bow and arrow; the weapon that the centaur is often shown wielding.
People that are born under the Sagittarius sign tend to be very talkative and witty individuals. They’re typically the intelligent and intellectual types that have a confident and positive outlook on life. They’re honest and sincere, sometimes to a fault. Quite often they’re spiritual or religious, and let their morals influence their decisions. Sagittarians are adventurous. They’re not afraid to take risks. Although the drawback to this is that they can be careless and impulsive. Generally, they’re well liked and they can be very generous individuals.
There are many great and diverse career choices for Sagittarians. Most anything that requires intellectual discipline is a good fit. Scientists, researchers, teachers, and lawyers for instance. Because of their adventurous nature, travel and military / law enforcement careers also seem to be a good choice.
Some famous Sagittarians include Abbie Hoffman, Bette Midler, Bruce Lee, Frank Sinatra, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Walt Disney, and Winston Churchill. Tags: astrology, bow and arrow, centaur, extroverted, fire sign, jupiter, masculine sign, positive sign, sagittarius, zodiac
Libra – The seventh astrological sign of the zodiac
Written by psychiclineadmin on November 29, 2008
Libra, commonly known as the scales or balance, is the seventh sign of the zodiac. If your birthday falls between September 23 – October 22, then your astrological sign is Libra. It’s origins are that of the constellation that shares its name. But, much like the other signs of the zodiac, Libra is no longer aligned with its constellation due to the precession of the equinoxes. Libra, like Taurus, is ruled by the planet Venus.
Libra is a positive, or masculine / extroverted air sign. It’s also one of the four cardinal signs. These signs are hinge signs in that they mark the change of seasons. Libra marks the change of summer into autumn.
Common traits of the air signs are leadership abilities including the tendency to be forceful and dynamic. At the same time, the air sign also implies the possibility of stubbornness, selfishness, and a somewhat controlling element to them.
From Greek Mythology, Libra got its name from the Greek Goddess of Justice Themis, and her daughter Astraea. Astraea went to the heavens and became the constellation Virgo. She carried with her the scales of justice, which became the neighboring constellation Libra. Interestingly, Libra is the only zodiac symbol that’s based on an inanimate object instead of a living being.
Because Libra represents the time of the year when people reap the rewards of harvest, or the apex of the year it’s often considered the most desirable symbol of the zodiac.
Libras tend to be very sociable and charming individuals. They’re very diplomatic and possess a great ability to compromise in the most difficult situations. They’re cooperative and sensitive to the needs of others. Like the scales themselves, Libras are very fair and balanced. Much of this is due to their logical and analytical thought processes, and the fact that they don’t let their own opinions get in the way of the facts. Typically they tend to be very refined and artistic. They’re also extremely romantic and flirty. If anything, Libras can have a tendency to be too pleasure driven.
Suitable careers for Libras include anything that requires a high degree of impartiality, logic, and analytical abilities. Also, anything related to the arts or refinement and taste. Artists, Entertainers, Designers, decorators, Lawyers, Judges, and Accountants are all some good choices.
Some famous Libras Include John Lennon, Jimmy Carter, Johnny Cochran, Dwight Eisenhower, Dizzy Gillespie, Jim Henson, Timothy Leary, Annie Liebovitz, William Rehnquist, Al Sharpton, and Bruce Springsteen to name a few
