Aries 21 March – 20 April
Aries season is the season of initiation. The start of things. Seedlings sprouts and races to thrive. The strongest survives. Aries people embody this energy by being the first to get things started. Perhaps they are the first to make friends with you, the first to start the race, the first to deliver. They go after what they like with no hesitation. Since they are ruled by Mars, it’s not uncommon for an Aries to be a fighter even if they have delicate form. Aries are always ready to go and grow.
Taurus 20 April – 21 May
Taurus season is all about fertility and natural beauty. During this time flowers are pollinating, bees are buzzing, and the established plants are shooting down their roots. Is this why Taurus people are known as stubborn? Perhaps. They don’t like to be pushed around and will resist anyone with suggestions that threatens their security. Once a Taurus is planted on an idea, good luck getting them to budge. These people tend to be the rock which you can depend on, though. Slow and steady wins the race.
Gemini 21 May – 21 June
Gemini season brings in the winds of change. New leaves and growth spurts happen during this season. Weak leaves are quickly replaced by better leaves. During this time the natural world is quick to change. Which is why the Gemini nature is quick to move on to new opportunities. Due to their fast moving airy nature, they can be seen as impatient and gets bored easily. But really it’s because they are weighing out the cost of their resources. Shrewd business people are often Geminis. Give them an inch and they will make a mile. Resourcefulness is their signature.
Cancer 21 June – 23 July
Cancer season is all about nurturing our babies through the heat of summer. Cancers ruled by moon is all about feeling and instinctively knowing what the other needs. A Cancer always wants you to care and treat others right, even though they can be pushy about it. They are often leaders in their field because they care so much about doing the right thing. All this and being born in the heat of the summer can make them somewhat crabby. Interestingly enough they are represented by the crab who fully armored with a hard shell and pinchers. And like the crab, he will have to shed his hard shell for a newer one from time to time. If you caught them with their shells off, this puts fear of death in them. They can be overly sensitive, but often project this onto others.
Leo 23 July – 23 August
Leo season brings summer fun. Yes, these could be one of the more temperamental signs perhaps because of the blaring heat they were born into. But they could also one of the more fun signs because of their ability to have fun no matter how hot it gets. During these hot months people are running around half naked and usually enjoying vacation. Leo babies may be outdoors playing more than other signs. So the magic of play is a strong part of the Leo character. Foods grown during this season are charged with the peak of solar power. So it is no wonder Leo babies are strong and at one with the energies of manifestation. A Leo doesn’t have to try to be the center of attention, they just are. If anything, if they aren’t getting paid, they’d rather avoid the spotlight. But if you start talking to them they can’t help but want to warm you up for a comedic setup.
Virgo 23 August – 23 September
Virgo season cools us down a bit. This is when we often have an abundance of foods and so many seeds to saved. Which could be why so many Virgos start off with an abundance mentality. With so many options, no wonder they become choosey with people and foods. Why not pick the best mate or the best food for their body’s temple? Virgo are all about improving their surrounding, so they have high attention to details. It’s usually a Virgo that notices chipped or unmatching paint in someone else’s home. They just can’t help it. They are also good at assessing value and know intricate details about the topic they are passionate about.
Libra 23 September – 23 October
Libra season is when we enter autumn. Nature reveals it’s beauty through the changing colors of the leaves. It’s a time when we divide the harvest. Because libras are interested in the balance, they will often take from that which is abundant and give to the areas that which is lacking. Like most air element they can move fast through information, and weigh out the truth and lies of every topic. They can rationalize almost any stance. But they are most interested in justice and the fairness of things. Libras are often great communicators and can be convincing due to their pose and charm. They are both good cop and bad cop. To them good and bad methods are simply a tool to get to the bottom of things.
Scorpio 23 October – 22 November

They were, after all, born when the veil between the living and dead was thin. Often holding their cards close to their chest, they won’t let you in unless they trust you. If you are getting hot and cold signs…they have probably already made an unfavorable assessment of you. Otherwise, they are often the loyal ride or die type.
