Analysis of the Signs

Sagittarius Virgo Libra Scorpio Capricorn Aquarius Taurus Gemini CANCER


THE REAL VIRGO

IF YOU WOULD LIKE A REAL FRIEND, try a Virgo. Virgos are intelligent, fun, talkative, knowledgeable, active, and loyal. Ruled by Mercury, sign of the mind, they can be super discriminating, and sometimes, intellectual snobs. But they are always one of the people, no matter what books they read.

IN EARLY LIFE, Virgos seem to require special treatment. They are not easily pleased. They are similar to a plant, forced to transplant and survive in a hostile climate. They are "temperature" sensitive not only to the air, but to the energies around them.

Notoriously picky eaters since early on, they are best not forced to eat certain foods they shun. They could have serious allergies that are not obvious. The care and feeding of Virgo children takes patience. Like other earth signs, Taurus and Capricorn, they cannot be hurried, pushed or pressured.

MOST VIRGOS RESONATE WITH the wonders of nature--outdoor activities, gardening and sports. They gravitate to computer science and research, or fields of medicine, health, and nutrition. They are exceptional surgeons, nurses, and laboratory workers.

They shine with quiet dignity in the business world, organizing the perfect office, and then running it efficiently. They are best as individual contributors rather than managers of people--because they require precision and are detail-oriented and probably prefer to work alone. Drawn to environmental and ecological studies, they can be so dedicated they might want to recycle you if you get in their way.

ANYTHING THEY TOUCH SEEMS to fall into order, is meticulously attended to, and can be found instantly when needed. They seem born to assess and judge everything within their grasp. They swiftly analyze, categorize, and take in every detail involved. Nothing gets by them. They are natural editors, proof readers, and critics who discern with discriminating taste.

DRAWN TO "flaws"like bees to honey, they will be the first in the family to notice a hairline scratch on the car or a finger smudge on a window. If you want to team up with one, assume you will get a healthy dose of criticism daily. Their intent is not punitive. Their role in life is to find errors and correct them. They need to solve problems. They consider it helpful. If you are unduly sensitive, stay clear of them. Then again, don't, because they can be delightful companions.

AS A GROUP, Virgos tend to be very good looking, and attractive to the opposite sex. Appearing a bit proud at time- as well as literate and brainy-they are cordial to all but will not suffer fools gladly. They prefer to be home with a good book or movie rather than listen to inane chatter. Better still, they prefer to arrange a gathering of fascinating people around them accompanied by exquisite food and wine.

VIRGOS AT SOME POINT realize that their identity, physical health, and spiritual survival is dependent upon work. Work and productivity is their life line, a labor of love, sometimes an obsession bordering on mission. Many are workaholics. They find work to be an aristocracy of the spirit.They glory in it, as if it were their child, or a gift from the gods.They also have a basic need to help the helpless.

Virgoans get along well with Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer,Taurus and Capricorn. You can get along with them as well if you have the Moon, Mercury, Venus , Mars or Ascendant in Virgo ( hopefully with harmonious aspects ). If you have any of these Virgo placements, you will recognize yourself in some of what has been said.

VIRGOS REQUIRE AN IDEAL AND PERFECT WORLD, but since this is impossible, Virgo is not the happiest of signs. Perfectionism is doomed to face failure, daily. In early life, some Virgos can be slobs-- like Oscar Madison only to turn-- in adulthood-- to a fastidious Felix Unger. Either way you've gotta love 'em. Also, did I mention they have an impeccable sense of understated style? Someday, ask one to rearrange a room in your house.

CANCER: THE QUIET OBSERVER

CANCERIANS ARE RESTLESS and like to stay on the move, physically or mentally. Ruled by the Moon, Cancerians are drawn to shining sun-like personalities-- sometimes becoming dependent upon them-sometimes resenting that fact at times.

The nurturing instinct is strong. The Cancerian mission in life is to secure, protect and defend home and family. Watch a Cancerian face light up when children appear. Watch some Cancerian parents spoil them with material things. Watch them nurture any job you give them. People with the Moon,Venus, or Mars in Cancer can exhibit some of these qualities as well.

Cancerians require security as a top priority. Not a surprise that in 2006 Cancerian President George W. Bush wanted a missile shield as soon as possible. Cancerians Gerald Ford, H.Ross Perot, Bob Dole, Thurgood Marshall and Nancy Reagan were protective and self-protective spirits. When you know the Cancerian background you can understand.

Prince William and his mother Princess Diana were born in the sign Cancer. Are we surprised the prince avoids the camera? And how Cancerian of Princess Diana to want to protect innocents abroad from land mines.

Try not to criticize or ridicule Cancerian children. This is one of the most sensitive of signs. For a Cancerian, ridicule is death. As babies and youngsters, they often have an unusual physical characteristic that makes them the target of too much attention, especially if Saturn is in the First House. Cancerian Pearl Buck describes "the artist" as one so unbearably sensitive that a touch is a blow. She may have been describing her own sign yet this trait helps Cancerians become acutely sensitive to the needs of others. Some may even turn very critical as well in order to ward off the threat of censure. Some develop an acid wit or a cynical humor. If consistently threatened, Cancerians will withdraw into their shells and stay there, and/or become some of our finest actors

ALTHOUGH CANCERIANS WORSHIP THE HOME,they also excel in the business world. They have a taste for and respect for finance. They are conscientious, cautious and security conscious. No risks. Remember they are coming out of a Gemini experience. When they feel threatened, they will hang on tenaciously to what they own or have, and who dares to try to take it away from them?

OTHER FAMOUS CANCERIANS: Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, Alex Trebec,Sly Stallone, Carly Simon, Natalie Wood, Jimmy Smits, Michael Flatley (Lord of the Dance), Liv Tyler, Pamela Anderson, David Hasselhoff, Della Reese, Maureen Stapleton,Woody and Arlo Guthrie, Georgio Armani, Bill Cosby, Dear Abby, Ann Landers, John Tesh, Ringo Starr, Sela Ward, Rogers and Hammerstein, Harrison Ford, Meryl Streep



THE COMMUNICATOR

Few people can convey a thought as swiftly and as cleverly as a Gemini, i.e., unless such persons have well aspected Gemini planets in their charts.

Gemini is the arch communicator, the born teacher and story teller. Gemini instinctively entertains as well as informs. It's in the DNA. This is the non stop talker with only Aries able to compete. This sign can sell you anything and is naturally flirtatious. This is the sign of fun that arises in a variety of forms.

Gemini usually has several skills or talents and is the "multi-tasking expert". Gemini requires variety and mental stimulation as "basic needs". Read this past sentence twice.

Even those who just have natal Mars in Gemini can have dual professions or several hobbies and/or enterprises. Geminis excel in work that involves talk,sales, and versatility.

Since highly strung Gemini seems to run on raw nerves, and nervous energy, the mind is usually in overdrive, often resulting in restlessness and exhaustion.

A challenge is to try to get Gemini to stop what they are doing and relax. "What is the point of that?" they may say, when there are so many things to do, to see, and to learn? Gemini is not a domestic being at heart. If forced into it, Gemini will run a very organized, efficient home and may put you on a strict schedule. Still, Gemini is flexible enough to change course immediately when necessary.

Geminis are attracted to a person's mentality and spirit and 'will follow you anywhere'if you like to be on the go.

Underneath all that airy breeziness and vivacity, Gemini is cerebral and rational and "from Missouri" Ruled by Mercury there is common sense and wit, able to make quick decisions usually with the head rather than with the heart. Geminis breeze into a room aerating it with a cheerful, chirpy charisma, and sometimes armed with the latest gossip.

Thirsting with curiosity, craving travel and variety, Geminis can wilt and fade if forced into a routine existence. If decisions were left to them, they would be in a constant state of exploration and discovery, yet realize that they do require rest periods to recharge for the next surge.

Involvement in mental interests has been associated with a long life. So it is no surprise that versatile Geminis stay and look very young even into old age.

SOME NOTED GEMINIS: John Edwards, Rudy Giuliani, John F. Kennedy, Former Pres. George Bush, Barbara Bush, Vladimir Putin, Mario Cuomo, Newt Gingrich, Prince Philip, Bill Moyers, Laurence Olivier, Donald Trump, John Wayne, Bob Hope, Nicole Kidman, Johnny Depp, Liam Neeson, Annette Bening, Helen Hunt, Michael J.

TAURUS:THE MONEY SIGN.

TAUREANS ARE USUALLY BORN somewhere between Apr.20 and May 20, depending upon the year of birth. We might safely compare them to "the Clark Kent/Superman dynamic"-a quiet male or female, but as powerful as a rock. Taurus can outlast anyone.

THE ENDURANCE AND CAPACITY FOR HARD WORK hard work is remarkable. Because they felt they weren't quite enough as youngsters, Taureans learned to build their daily competence slowly, surely, and determinedly until one day they become invincible. This- despite financial anxieties, fears, inadequacies, and other pesky doubts that whine in their ears most of the time. This sign worries about money more than any other sign, yet often ends up with a storehouse of funds available to them.

TAUREANS resonate with nature and architectural form, plus the materials that shape them. They are builders, both with their hands and their minds. They are deliberate and can't be rushed. Taureans unconsciously resist luxury, comfort, quality and beauty, but note how they eventually surround themselves with it and they think big.

It is hard to find a flighty Taurus, no matter how they appear on the surface. This sign, once committed- is yours forever but you can't push, prod or force them-or the bull will make the ground rumble beneath your feet. Taureans like to live and work in parallel with you. Just don't get in their way or they will steamroll over you.

FAMOUS TAUREANS This sign rules the throat and we don't have enough room to list all the famous singers and musicians born under the sign. Taureans whether they sing or not, often have an unusual speaking voice. For Example: Barbara Streisand, Enya, Cher, Janet Jackson, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Bing Crosby, Perry Como, Englebert Humperdinck, Willie Nelson, James Brown, Roy Orbison, Irving Berlin, and the list goes on.

PUBLIC FIGURES past and present: Al Pacino, David Bekham, Jack Nicholson, Gearge Clooney, Uma Thurman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Audrey Hepburn, Cher, Katherine Hepburn, Dennis Rodman, Cate Blanchett, Jay Leno, Jerry Seinfeld, Tony blair, Eva Peron, Shirley Temple Black, Daniel Day Lewis, I.M. Pei, Pierce Brosnan, Penelope Cruz-- Tony Blair, Eva Peron, Elizabeth II, Harry Truman, Saddam Hussein, Shakespeare, Ho Chi Minh, Sigmund Freud, Pope John Paul II, Tim Russert, and Coretta Scott King



INTUITIVE PISCES:THE HEALER

PISCEANS live so close to the brink of the unconscious it is as if it were a large body of water they tap daily. They take from this wealth of resource all that nourishes a vivid imagination and idealistic dreams. This can lead to the ultimate in creative expression (music, theater, poetry, dance) or it can lead to imagining the worse, to insecure fears, lack of direction, or self-destructive escapism. Pisces needs some structure in life, but not too much.

The Piscean energy embodies the 12th House of the unconscious. In it lies the amassed experiences of a whole round of zodiac experience. Pisces has been all, seen all, known all, and suffered much. Although all the murderous and sinful deeds of humankind have been part of this long history, there is far more that is ennobling, loving, humane and healing. Pisces sees more and understands best what really matters in daily life.

Once clothed in the 11 roles of each one of the signs, Pisces can easily spot the phony. A psychic intuition is inborn.

In this life, sensitive Pisceans wants so much- a perfect world- that disappointment is certain. True healers, their serenity of presence can soothe and affirm. Pisces take on your shine if you are a bright companion. If you are hurting, they live your pain and suffer it with you. This is the most sensitive of artists. Thank God they develop an active sense of humor while others prefer an aggressive or defensive mask to ward off imposition.

The world of theater and dance loves this wise soul who can 'become' whatever any role requires. Why not? They have lived it all. So who better to break through the shell of the hardest heart and introduce it to the soul. Pisceans have a deep love for animals and seek their safety and well being.

PISCEANS: Ted Kennedy, Joseph Lieberman, Ralph Nader, Chelsea Clinton, Albert Einstein, Vanessa Williams, Ivana Trump, Elizabeth Taylor, Ron Howard, Sidney Poitier, Jon Bon Jovi, Sir Laurence Olivier, Alan Greenspan, Kelsey Grammar, George Harrison, Mikhail Gorbachev, Dr. Seuss, Spike Lee, Rob Lowe, Benecio del Toro, Mr. Rogers, James Taylor, Billy Crystal, Chastity Bono, Sharon Stone, Chopin, Johnny Cash, Seal, Ron Howard, Drew Barrymore, L.Ron Hubbard, Shaquille O'Neal.

LIVING WITH AQUARIUS

Aquarians are different. They need it that way. They see themselves as puzzle pieces in the larger human design, but don't pigeonhole them. They revel in their own eccentricity. Aquarians are highly charged electrical entities. Sometimes their internal transformers can't step down the voltage fast enough and we become recipients of their shocks.

Erratically brilliant, rationally cerebral, with a balanced, no nonsense approach to life, they will gladly drop anything and help you out if you are hurt or are in need. This is the sign of The Humanitarian.

You can never get very close to an Aquarian. This is the most impersonal of the signs. They are detached mental beings (unless they have a chart full of water signs) They want you foremost as a friend and you must allow them the pleasure of other friends, both male and female. If you don't like to share your guy or lady, don't team up with them. They relate to the macrocosm more easily then the microcosm and identify with "a group mind " rather than a single entity.

At some point in the life of Aquarians, they may feel ostracized from society. A family member or close relative may have flouted a convention or taboo which caused humiliation and potential scandal, if known. Keeping these secrets created repressive tensions. But because of this, Aquarius grows up with a strong specialized sympathy for the outcast--especially the cruelly castigated or the scorned. They emerge as crusaders for a society of inclusion. They identify with the underdog and see us all as "created equal in the sight of God". Bosses, underlings, slaves, kings, queens, and maids are all painted with the same human brush of equality.

Unless wiltingly insecure, Aquarians are the least likely of the signs to be a snob, unless their bias is against snobs, themselves-the most insecure of us all. Playing Devil's Advocate is the Aquarian's favorite game because it provokes controversy and discussion. Who more than Aquarius loves to surprise or even shock us with what may appear to be outrageous assessments?

Aquarius is as ambitious as Capricorn, but prefers to make friends along the path. Aquarian leaders realize that their goals must somehow relate to yours if success is to be attained. Immature or needy Aquarians are parasitic leaners and notorious freeloaders. But the advanced of this species find ingenious ways to elevate the entire spectrum of life on the planet. They truly see that what we do for the least of us raises the standard of all.


Aquarians are in synch with the philosophy of Margaret Mead. She envisioned the kind of a society where people would be accepted just as they were and where ... every diverse gift may find a fitting place.

AQUARIANS: Oprah Winfrey, Abraham Lincoln, FDR. Dan Quayle, Dick Chaney,Tom Brokaw, Ted Koppel, George Stephanopoulis, Rosa Parks, Andrew Greeley, Ayn Rand, Norman Rockwell, Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, Mia Farrow, Garth Brooks, Neil Diamond, Placido Domingo, Paul Newman, Ellen Degeneres, KIm Novak, Yoko Ono, Alan Alda, Jennifer Anniston, Christie Brinkley, Jackie Robinson, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Greg Norman, John McEnroe, Nolan Ryan, Michael Jordan.

CAPRICORN

UNDERSTANDING CAPRICORN

IF CAPRICORNS LIVE PAST the fifth year of life they are likely to outlive most of us. That goes for many who have Saturn in Capricorn in the First House as well.This is the most long-lived sign.

In the early years, there can be frailty and reserve. Something sets them apart from other children. This can bring taunts from peers, but because they are ruled by tough, never give-up Saturn, this sign learns to be a state-of-the-art survivor. Most Capricorns "begin" at fifty.

CAPRICORN KIDS often seem like little adults almost from birth. They have a no nonsense attitude and can be "not-so-easy-to please" unless there are compensatory fire and /or water signs represented.They are usually advanced in their thinking.

Ambition becomes a determined basic need. SUCCESS is Capricorn's revenge.This sign will climb and claw up from their psychological pit, and by doing so, develop mental and emotional muscle. They learn to be street smart and resolute. They usually operate with integrity and are stern for what is fair and correct.

Capricorns climb their mountains slowly but surely. Their "product"or work is of high quality. They will reach the top if it takes a lifetime. They are often found in the hierachy of the various churches of any religion.

Leo may be the CEO or president, Cancer may be the Vice President, Libra may be the top manager, but it is usually Capricorn that is the ultimate authority that pays the wages. This is a no nonsense sign with practical wisdom. Capricorn unconsciously or consciously needs the world at their feet or know the reason why.

HERE ARE SOME CAPRICORNS: Read and bow to the east: Elvis Presley, Jack Nicklaus, Frank Langella, Charlie Rose, Orlando Bloom, Jim Carrey, Kate Moss, Matt Lauer, Ryan Seacrest, Jimmy Buffet, Denzel Washington, Cary Grant, Diane Sawyer,Aristotle Onassis,J.R. Tolkien, Mohammed Ali, Kahil Gibran, George Balanchine, Katie Couric, Anthony Hopkins, Dolly Parton, Rush Limbaugh, Judith Krantz, Cuba Gooding, Jr. Nicolas Cage, Martin Luther King, Jr.and so many more.
THE SAGITTARIAN: Don't Fence me In

THIS IDEALISTIC fire sign is ambitious, adventurous, and has an impetuous spirit. But there is more. SAGITTARIANS are also visionaries. They should go with their hunches unless chart aspects suggest otherwise.Their comprehensive intellect coupled with strong intuitions brings them success. They are strong for people to be free to make their own choices and would fight for you if your rights were denied.

MANY SAGITTARIANS are impulsive, their swift minds acting quickly. They have to learn to dot the i's and cross the t's, but prefer to enlist someone else for that. Most have the aura of refinement that makes them naturally and inherently aristocratic, no matter how humble the background or condition of birth.

IN THE EARLY YEARS, SAGITTARIANS are usually happy souls, but timid and shy with people outside the family. They may be non verbal, yet grow up to be orators and professors. (Our Sagittarian son never spoke until he was about three and then talked in phrases and short sentences)

MANY SAGITTARIANS ARE blunt in speech, too direct, as if there is some kind of overcompensation or backlash to the early timidity. Residual self-consciousness can produce an awkwardness or klutziness when faced with too formal or restrictive a situation. If you don't give this sign physical and psychological room--you will find out why it is often called "the bachelor/ette sign.

If Sagittarians have their basic need of freedom satisfied, their potential for success is dramatic. Sagittarians are often avid athletes, and if not--are active fans, riveted to the television- watching team sports. Many "sports widows" are married to Sagittarians. If you have Sagittarian planets like Mars, hiding in the chart, you are probably familiar with these traits.

If Sagittarians are educators, they can evolve to scholars and professors. Sagittarius rules the Ninth House of Publishing,Law, Religion, Philosophy and Foreign or Long Distance Travel.Never underestimate the high spiritedness and lofty ideals of a Sagittarian.

NOTED SAGITTARIANS: Caroline Kennedy, John F. Kennedy. Jr.,Senator John Kerry, Shaquille O'Neal, Jon Stewart. Bette Midler, Woody Allen, Frank Sinatra, Steven Spielberg, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evert, Monica Seles, Venus Williams, Serena Williams, Walt Disney, Joe DiMaggio, Katie Holmes, Brad Pitt, Judi Dench, Jennifer Connolly, Christine Aguillera, Clay Aiken, Christina Applegate, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, Amy Grant, Sinead O'Connor,Jimi Hendrix, Tyra Banks, Gianni Versace, Tina Turner, Jamie Foxx, Don Johnson, Teri Hatcher, Felicity Huffman, C.S. Lewis, Ray Romano




SCORPIO: THE LASER MIND

ALTHOUGH SCORPIOS often appear to be quiet,intense people,they have powerful restrained passions and feelings.They also intend to get what they are after.

Scorpios are willing to wait for however long it takes to get what they want. Don't even look as if you may be trying to get what they are after. Hopefully you're not, because you won't succeed, unless you are perhaps--another Scorpio.

SCORPIOS are private individuals. They resemble FBI agents, secretly needing to know "who you are" and "what you're after". Just don't try to find out too much about them. They are as secretive as clams. They must trust you and your motives first. Loyalty is key. Guilty feelings stemming from the past make them feel others are out to get them. Sometimes they're right. But Scorpio is one of the most powerful of adversaries. Don't mess with them.

One astrologer claimed there is no such thing as an ordinary Scorpio. Certainly few signs run any deeper or any more profound. But if any sign is said to be black and white about issues, this may be the one, unless Libran planets dominate. Scorpio is for you or against you. No middle ground no matter how diplomatic on the surface. If you are authentic and real they will die for you. If you betray them you might as well be dead, because they mentally erase you from their consciousness as if you were.

SCORPIO has a powerful physical appeal that is intense, almost hypnotic, far beyond chemistry, attractiveness, or any other obvious lure. There is wizardry that may make even the Scorpios a little uneasy.

Scorpios, as children, often felt totally controlled, owned and possessed by the prominent parent. They also tend to feel rejected by that same parent with whom they have a bittersweet, love/hate relationship. They may feel too close to the parent or so co-dependent they feel resentful.

Scorpios have to break away from home if only to know they exist apart from it. The tighter the bond, the farther away they have to go to separate. When they have their own children, they seek to possess them because of their own dependency needs. (This can be moderated by harmonious planetary aspects to the Sun and Moon )

High-minded Scorpios are the "flying eagles, rather than the earthbound scorpions", and we can be proud to know any one of them because they can become the epitome of integrity and passion, ready for the highest of missions. They can be as dedicated, if not more so, than self sacrificing Virgos, Leos, and Pisceans.

More than any other sign, Scorpios fear death and must probe it's mysteries even if they have to go through the valley of the shadow to do it. Those who have the Ascendant, or Scorpio planets, especially in the 8th House will likely share this fear.

Scorpios, like lasers, penetrate deeply- any subject or study. They dig beneath the surface for causes and ferret out the truth. FIELDS OF EXPERTISE include: medicine, surgery, research, X-Ray technology, executive management, FBI work, psychology, psychiatry, science, photography, criminal law and pathology, journalism, and any work that involves strategy or digging for the latest information available.

FAMOUS SCORPIOS: Senator Joe Biden, Jack Welch, Bill Gates, Robert Kennedy, Laura Bush, Hillary R. Clinton, Dan Rather, Jane Pauley, Ted Turner, Larry King, Walter Cronkite, Morley Safer, Maria Shriver, Keith Lockhart, Dennis Franz, Charles Bronson, Richard Dreyfuss, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Graham, Leonardo de Caprio, Jodie Foster, Meg Ryan, Jamie Lee Curtis, Grace Kelly, Winona Ryder, Kate Capshaw, Ethan Hawke, Claude Monet, Georgia O'Keefe, Pablo Picasso, Sammy Sosa, Carl Sagan.


LIBRA:THE SIGN OF CONNECTION

LIBRA is Venus-ruled. Librans believe in pure justice and want everyone to get a fair chance.Venus rules fields relating to art forms and industries relating to beauty, clothing, costuming, fashion and adornment.

Libra's overriding need is "to connect", build bridges to other people,find a partner-a lifeline. This can also be true of anyone with a chart that has many Libran planets or a 7th House emphasis.

Something in the early part of life-- separated Librans from those close. This left them feeling disconnected,high and dry, even abandoned (although this was not intended) Although family members may have been kind and caring, there was at some point--a sense of loss, separation, alienation, causing a lifetime motivation to get back those broken lines of connection.

LIBRA ON THE ASCENDANT endows this sign with great charm, friendliness and a desire for social interchange, parties and get togethers. Libra, an asset to any gathering, stands out as the essence of cooperation and diplomacy. But make no mistake, Librans take charge--they are the managers of the zodiac.

A RATIONAL BEING:Libra can be so understanding of both sides that a quick judgment is difficult. But this very attribute applied to mediation or delicate arbitration can succeed where others fail. Librans excel as judges and diplomats.

Librans are famous for having difficulty making up their minds. You will see this when they are faced with a restaurant menu.

The backlash comes in later life when such Librans overcompensate for their indecision by being unflinching in their opinions (Margaret Thatcher, former prime minister of Great Britain)

Librans may laze around for weeks seemingly doing nothing--only to have a long stint of working full bore. They play hard, work hard and rest "hard".They spend their entire lives unconsciously re-arranging and bringing their lives into a common sense balance.

LIBRANS ARE PEACEMAKERS of the zodiac.They prefer to avoid conflict. This is a sign that craves harmony-but can try so hard (in a relationship) to keep things on an even keel, they can actually set up the very tensions they want to avoid. Most Librans are quite even tempered-- driving their cars and their lives with orderly precision. They will put up with a lot until you have gone too far. Don't say you weren't warned. The fur flies, nor very often but when it does, vacate the premises. After putting up with the impossible for just so long-- well....?

FAMOUS LIBRANS INCLUDE Kate Winslet, Catherine Zeta Jones, Michael Douglas, Christopher Reeve, Gwyneth Paltrow, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Heather Locklear, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Sting, Luciano Pavrotti, John Lennon, Marie Osmond, Ralph Lauren, Yo Yo Ma, Nancy Kerrigan, Angela Lansbury, Bryant Gumbel, Mark McGuire, Serena Williams, Sarah Ferguson, Barbara Walters.

World Figures/ Peacemakers of History: Pres.Dwight D. Eisenhower, Pres.Jimmy Carter,Lech Walesa, Desmond Tutu, Jesse Jackson, Eleanor Roosevelt, Margaret Thatcher, and Mohandes Ghandi.

IDEALISTIC LEO

MIDSUMMER SIGN LEO:

LEO is ruled by the Sun so the personality is highly visible and charismatic. Leo is a born teacher, a spirit guide, destined to shine a light along the path. Due to organizational skills as well as the ability to inspire others, Leos are often the CEO's of the zodiac. They take on responsibility, naturally. Cancerians tend to be the VP's, Libras, the managers, and Capricorns are top of the heap financial administrators.

Fire signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius are ambitious but in Leo's case a better word is "aspiring." Idealistic Leo seeks noble endeavors and must be trusted implicitly. They will put 110% of their hearts into work they believe in. Leos will fight hard for anything ennobling.

FACT: Leos are powerful personalities and lion-like opponents who luckily fight fair. They can look you in the eye and not blink an eyelash because the conscience is usually clear. Frightening isn't it?

Leos have "adventure and safari" in their souls but must take care not to attempt the impossible. Leos magnetic spirit and enthusiasm makes for success in any field but Leos require autonomy, and individual power over their work. They make superlative creators, artists, lovers, actors, guides, parents, and can host a party or gala like none other.

LEOS are the kings,queens, clowns, musicians, artists, and fun lovers of the zodiac. No matter how imperious and regal some of them may appear, they have the heart of a child and never really lose their sense of wonder. This is the secret behind their charisma and creativity.

THIS SIGN is supposed to be on stage in some form. This is a backlash response to the so-called Cancerian incarnation, the sign that precedes Leo. Moon-ruled Cancer will do anything to avoid the center of attention, ( unless they have some Leo planets in the chart) but can perform brilliantly and best on stage when they they play the role of someone else.

THE SUN ruler endows power, visiblity and shine so that special lessons in life are force-learned. Leo rules the heart and generously warms the atmosphere so that people can be themselves, and feel secure.

Since Leos are the royals of the zodiac, they often like trappings, fine clothing, ceremony, staging, and meaningful drama. Their houses reflect this. But Leos will drop to their knees and gladly wear rags, live on crumbs and live humbly if they are in the presence of goodness, innocence, beauty, and nobility of purpose.

FAMOUS LEOS: Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Jacqueline Kennedy, Julia Child, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Miok Jagger, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Charline Theron, Patrick Swayze, Kevin Spacey, John Stamos, Anna Paquin, David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Ben Affleck, Melanie Griffith, Antonio Banderas, Madonna, Sean Penn, Whitney Houston, Robert Redford,Sandra Bullock, Hilary Swank, Al Roker, Elizabeth Dole, Martha Stewart, Danielle Steel, Jerry Garcia, Lucille Ball, Peter Jennings, Timothy Hutton, Count Basie, Malcolm Forbes, J.K.Rowling. ATHLETES: Barry Bonds, Patrick Ewing, Magic Johnson, Alex Rodriguez, Nomar Garciapara, Pete Sampras...
