Signs of the Zodiac

"Many times in anime, you will hear a character give their sign and blood type. This is because many people believe that both inherently affect your personality type. Here is a brief list of the Zodiac signs with their profiles.

ARIES (The Ram) March 21 - April 20
First sign of the zodiac. It is a representation of birth and initial realization of one's self. People born under this sign display strong leadership skills and are extroverted and assertive. Aries tend to accomplish goals by sheer energy and force of will. They can be blunt, and bold and they focus on ego and self rather than balance between people. They are self-contained, have strong leadership skills, can seem competitive, arrogant, domineering or inconsiderate. They are also sometimes selfish, but they are not loners. They tend to respond to the world through action; doing before thinking and sometimes this trait can land them into trouble. In relationships Aries tend to be playful and romantic.
Aries are opposite of Libra.

TAURUS (The Bull) April 21 - May 20
Second sign of the zodiac. Moves beyond the realization of birth and into exploration. People born under this sign display strong sensuality, a love for material objects and the pleasure they can bring. They tend to be positive and strong, ambitious and focused, dependable and stable and stubborn and argumentative. They stress personal gain over family goal. They can be self-indulgent and even greedy, but they are immensely practical and steady too. Taurus enjoys partnership and marriage and use their charm to work toward harmony and securing their personal comfort. They are sentimental, loyal and romantic.
Taurus are opposite Scorpio.

GEMINI (The Twins) May 21 - June 21
Third sign of the zodiac. Gemini often have a dual nature and are skilled at seeing both sides of an argument, but their duality can lead to restlessness, and fickleness. The Gemini is adaptable, and can accomplish multiple goals at once (can you say multi-tasking?), but sometimes lack the ability to follow through. They love to learn, are analytical and versatile, but their knowledge is sometimes only superficial, since their restlessness may lead them to different things. Gemini is charming and communicative and often has many friends and acquaintances. Sometimes the Gemini's gregariousness leads them to appear scheming or gossipy. At heart, Gemini is caring, flirtatious and playful.
Gemini are opposite Sagittarius.

CANCER (The Crab) June 22 - July 22
Fourth sign of the zodiac. Cancer is nurturing and focused on the family group. They are emotional and traditional, and interested in heredity and ancestors. Family is key to them and their lives are centered around their home. Cancer can be aloof and moody and are often the first to express emotion in any given situation. They are protective, gentle, caring and sensitive. They tend to respond to the world through emotion instead of action or intellect. Because of this they tend to get hurt easily.
Cancer are opposite Capricorn.

LEO (The Lion) July 23 - August 23
Fifth sign of the zodiac. Leo is very creative with vitality and ambition as keys to their successfulness. Leo is a natural leader and tends to be flamboyant, opinionated, strong willed, pleasure-seeking and loves attention. Leo often expects royal treatment from others, but is usually popular and often inspirational to others. Leo is a born leader and tends to interfere in other's lives. This can make them seem bossy and pretentious. Leo is generous, but because they seek the power of leadership they can seem hot-headed, boastful, obnoxious and self-centered. Leo is always happy as long as someone is paying attention to them and they thrive on romance.
Leo are opposite Aquarius.
