People tend to ask all sorts of questions when it comes to astrology and one of the most common is “which are the best of the 12 signs?” – which, of course, is usually accompanied by: “what’s the worst?”. While we appreciate all the questions, even when it comes to compatibility, let’s make one thing clear: in astrology, there are no winners or losers. In fact, when you enter the mystical world there is no right or wrong, because what we consider bad can actually help us grow and evolve.
The zodiac is an enigma
Each sign is a powerful and vital piece in the zodiac puzzle. The 4 elements – air, fire, water and earth – work together to create an all-encompassing whole, which appears in your life as unique traits of your personality. Although astrology is an extremely complex study, its most fundamental principle is centered on the 12 signs. Over the centuries, each has developed their own associations – between myths, animals and colors – and their own characteristics. And, of course, each of them has strengths and some weaknesses.
Characteristics of the 12 signs
Aries
The first of the zodiac, Aries, loves being the number 1. Of course, this fire sign loves competition. Bold and ambitious, the Aries dives headlong into even the most difficult situations and will always make you win!
Bull
Which zodiac sign is most likely to take a 6-hour shower, followed by an amazing massage and delicious dessert? Taurus, of course! Like their animal spirit, Taurus love to relax in a peaceful and pleasant environment, surrounded by soothing sounds and scents.
Twins
Have you ever been so busy that you wish you could clone yourself just to get it all done? This is the experience of being a Gemini, in a nutshell. Spontaneous, playful and adorably wandering, Gemini is driven by his insatiable curiosity. Symbolized by the celestial twins, this is one of 12 signs that are interested in so many activities that they would need to multiply to handle them all.
Cancer
Represented by the crab, which constantly lives between the sea and the coast, Cancer also has the ability to transit through two places: in this case, the emotional and material fields. Cancers are highly intuitive and their psychic abilities manifest on Earth. However, this water sign is willing to do whatever it takes to protect themselves emotionally. To really know a Cancer, you need to earn their trust!
Lion
Roll out the red carpet because Leo is here! Passionate, loyal and dramatic, Leo is represented by the lion animal and this fire sign is the true king – or queen – of the heavenly jungle. Lively, theatrical and intense, Leos love to stand out and celebrate their very existence.
Virgin
Virgos are logical, practical and systematic in their approach to life. Virgo is an earth sign historically represented by the goddess of agriculture, Demeter. This association speaks of the deeply rooted presence of the Virgin in the material world. This is one of the 12 signs that I am a great perfectionist and love to improve their skills through careful and consistent practice.
Lb
Balance, harmony and justice define the energy of Libra. This is a cardinal air sign and is represented by libra (interestingly, the only inanimate object in the zodiac), an association that reflects Libra’s fixation in establishing balance. He is obsessed with harmony and strives to create balance in all areas of life, especially in love.
Scorpio
Enigmatic and mysterious, Scorpio is one of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac. This is a water sign that uses emotional energy as fuel and has powerful wisdom both physically and spiritually. In fact, Scorpio has an amazing mind, which comes from their psychic abilities, which makes this one of the 12 most complicated and dynamic signs of the zodiac.
Sagittarius
This fire sign knows no bounds: represented by the figure of the archer, Sagittarians are always in search of knowledge. The last fire sign of the zodiac, Sagittarius, loves to undertake numerous geographical, intellectual and spiritual activities and adventures.
Capricorn
What is the most precious thing in life? For Capricorn, the answer is clear: time. This sign knows that only with patience, perseverance and dedication is it possible to climb the mountain of life. The last earth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn, is represented by the sea goat, a mythological creature with the body of a goat and the tail of a fish. Therefore, Capricorns are adept at navigating both the material and the emotional world.
Acquarium
Despite the prefix “water” in its name, Aquarius is actually the last air sign of the zodiac. Innovative, progressive and openly revolutionary, he is represented by the water bearer, the mystical healer who gives water – or life – to the Earth. Therefore, Aquarius is the most humanitarian zodiac sign and, ultimately, the only one truly dedicated to making the world a better place.
Fish
Next to the word “psychism” in the dictionary, there should definitely be an image of Pisces. Of all, this is the only one of the 12 most intuitive, sensitive and empathic signs in the entire zodiac. Being the latter, Pisces absorbs everything from the other signs: their joys and their sorrows, their hopes and fears. It is symbolized by two fish swimming in opposite directions, representing their constant transition between fantasy and reality.
