ZODIAC

The twins of the zodiac universe have a refreshing duality that makes them attract people like a magnet. Inquisitive yet adaptable, playful yet sensitive—that’s you, Gemini!

Weaknesses: nervous, inconsistent, indecisive

Leo: Confidence

Weaknesses: arrogant, stubborn, self-centered, lazy, inflexible

Weaknesses: distrusting, jealous, secretive, violent

As a fire sign, your quest for knowledge is destined to take you to great places. A wandering spirit, your nonconformist personality doesn’t put down roots easily—not when there’s a whole wide world to be discovered.

Weaknesses: promises more than can deliver, very impatient, will say anything no matter how undiplomatic

Aquarius: Philosophical

Don’t let the ‘aqua’ in its moniker fool you. This airy sign is not one to get tied down with arbitrary ideals. At the risk of earning a reputation as detached and aloof, this analytical and innovative sign would rather stand at the fringes of the crowd instead of following the herd.

Weaknesses: Runs from emotional expression, temperamental, uncompromising, aloof

Some Interesting Facts About Astrology

- According to a 1999 study, the words "horoscope" and "astrology" are the two most searched topics on the internet.

Why Do We Believe In Astrology

- Astrology is considered to be both an art and a science. It is art because interpretation is needed to bring the different aspects together and formulate an idea of the individual's character traits. However, the mathematical part of astrology is also considered to be a science because it requires an understanding of astronomy and mathematics.

Although astrology is not a religion, it offers comfort, faith, and a deeper understanding of the world we live in. Interpretations often offer assurances of one's future, but more importantly, they are supposed to show us a way to resolve our issues and to improve our relationships with our partners, family, and friends, and mainly tools to meet ourselves and discover our inner worlds in a different light.

Astrology claims that nothing in life is coincidental and everything that happens to us happens for a particular reason. Astrology can provide us with good answers as to why these things happen to us and it guides us on our steps forward. In this way, astrology actually helps people to understand themselves and the world around them much better.

Astrology works, astrologers don't. Most of the people who visit astrologers or read their horoscopes regularly end up with a sensation of fulfillment and satisfaction, somewhat like euphoria. This does not mean that the astrologers have accurately predicted the individual's future or present based on their horoscope dates, but it means that having a horoscope cast can be actually a very fulfilling experience.

The Earth is positioned under the constellations that were known as our star signs millennia ago. Although signs don't coincide with the constellations anymore, we are still under the influence of seasons and planetary movements in the same way as we were back then. Many people diligently follow their horoscopes and believe in their astrology sign meanings. This isn't surprising, as astrology is widely popular, and everyone in the world knows which are their horoscope dates and signs. People enjoy reading their horoscope sign forecasts, and this often leads to changes in personalities, behaviors, and decision-making processes.

By knowing about our love potential, we can make the best use of opportunities and take appropriate measures leading to a happy love or married life.

Astrology takes into account two major aspects - our birth potential and the effects of the planets and the stars on our personal horoscope. It can help us choose the right career and education path to make a good and successful life.

Last but not least - we believe in astrology because it's about us. My horoscope is like a blueprint of my life that got created precisely at the time I was born.
