There are twelve signs in the wheel of the zodiac, each one named after a constellation, each with its own style and substance. Together they weave a narrative of human life, a progression that goes something like this:

 Aries initiates the cycle with a rush of activity. Like the Big Bang, it kicks everything into motion. It is the sign of action.

 Taurus calms and consolidates that ferocious energy, bringing it down to earth in a tangible form and into the body. Taurus is the sign of the senses.

 Gemini activates the mind, stimulates curiosity, and forges connections through communication. It is the sign of language.

 Cancer turns inward, bringing feelings into consciousness, cultivating the idea of home and family, and seeking security. It is the sign of emotion.

 Leo celebrates, dramatizes, and creates. It is the sign of self-expression.

 Virgo organizes, evaluates, develops techniques, and attends to details. It is the sign of analysis.

 Libra reaches beyond itself, striving for balance through interaction with others and through the power of ideas. It is the sign of relationship.

 Scorpio investigates the mysteries of human nature, diving deep into the inner world and the hidden self. It is the sign of transformation.

 Sagittarius pursues independence, adventure, education, and the wisdom of philosophy or religion. It is the sign of the seeker.

 Capricorn elevates purpose, shoulders responsibility, and creates civilization. It is the sign of structure.

 Aquarius seeks liberation, focuses on society, and simultaneously supports individuality. It is the sign of community.

 Pisces embodies compassion and the spiritual side of life. It is the sign of dreams and the imagination. It also oversees chaos, out of which will arise the creative fire of Aries. And so the cycle will begin anew.
