Most people meet astrology through their Sun sign. It is a fine starting point, but every sign is bigger than the cliches. Here is a clearer map of the zodiac.
Cardinal signs — initiators
Aries starts things. Cancer starts a family or a feeling. Libra starts a relationship or an agreement. Capricorn starts a structure. Their lesson is to follow through without burning out.
Fixed signs — sustainers
Taurus holds value. Leo holds the spotlight. Scorpio holds the deep truth. Aquarius holds the vision. Their lesson is when to release.
Mutable signs — translators
Gemini translates ideas. Virgo translates raw work into useful form. Sagittarius translates experience into meaning. Pisces translates feeling into art. Their lesson is to commit before adapting.
