- Aries
- You are a
personality who is positive, aggressive, and very competitive.
You have a headstrong and aggressive mode . Mars is the ruling
planet for Aries and is the significator of direct action and
high energy. Its influence allows one to act on ideas the moment
they are formed, without much hesitation and without much thought.
You are likely to become bored or impatient if results don't come
as readily as expected. You abandon a project to initiate something
new just because it did not turn up to your expectations or calculations.
There's a desire to continuously prove yourself through a constant
series of endeavors, whether anything gets finished or not.
-
- Physical
activity is a necessity for you, and if you don't get it, energy
is apt to escape in the form of temper, anger and frustration.
You are keen, alert and possess quick reflexes. The influence
of Mars produces individuals with above average athletic ability.
The sign combines outstanding physical characteristics with a
competitive spirit.
-
- When out
of control an Arian can be too impulsive and self-centered in
an unthinking way. You are a champion of independence and freedom,
but sometimes outspoken in your opinions. The
aggressiveness of this sign often extends to mental outlook. Accordingly,
you may do exceptionally well in circumstances requiring mental
drive, ambition and cunning. Many leaders in business and the
military can attribute their success to an Aries Ascendant.

- Taurus
- The Ascendant
rising in Taurus produces a personality which is stable, graceful
and harmonious. The nature of Taurus is affectionate, steadfast
and very loyal. You are an individual with very basic needs like
good food, good sex, and a suitably luxurious place to live. This
personality is passive and easygoing until pushed or encountered
in a stressful mood. When finally provoked, Taurus is stubborn
and rigid, and can display an uncontrollable bull-like temper.
A Taurus is like a bull in a china-shop.

on the rise, the majority of the time, your manner is slow and
reserved. You are never one to take big chances. All reactions
to proposed changes are carefully considered, and there is often
resistance. You are very possessive and fixed in your convictions.

you undertake will be completed. You do any work of yours at your
regulated pace without heeding to others interests and ideas.

a strong appreciation for the good things in life, and you never
hesitate to indulge your desires. The planet Venus, the ruler
of Taurus, is associated with love, beauty, ease of living, graciousness,
and charm. Venus brings a high degree of diplomacy, tact, and
sociability. From a more negative perspective, it can show laziness
and self-indulgence. The sensual nature is hyperactive. Frequently,

and adaptable, but at times you can be temperamental and a little

(your ruling planet ), you are slippery and quick, extremely hard
to pin down. Gemini is very clever. Physically, you are agile
and well coordinated. Nervous activity keeps you slender. Your
enthusiasm for change is a trait that makes you perpetually young
and progressive of mind.

your nature.You can handle more than one job at a time. You tend
