The twelve zodiac signs

Dates, elements, rulers and real traits — without the fortune-cookie filler.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

Would rather begin badly than wait to begin well.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

Not slow, simply unwilling to be hurried.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

Thinks out loud, and changes its mind in public.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

Guards the people it loves before it says why.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

The warmth is real, even when it looks like a performance.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Not a perfectionist, just someone who noticed.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

Fairness is not softness; it is the whole argument.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

Intensity is not a mood here; it is the baseline.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

Would rather be honest than comfortable, usually.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Ambition with a very long memory for what it cost.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

Independent, and surprisingly hard to move.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Porous by design, which is both the gift and the bill.
