Aries
Aries planets are hotheads. They’re built from go-getter cardinal energy and fast-acting fire. Needless to say, Aries energy is impatient, energetic, and oh-so-willing to try anything once.
Taurus
Taurus planets are aptly represented by the symbol of the bull. They’re earth creatures, very tightly connected to the material plane, and fixed—which means they’re pretty much immovable when they don’t want to act.
Gemini
As an intellectual air sign that’s mutable and interested in anything new, Gemini energy is eternally curious—and quite easily distracted. Gemini planets live in the moment and are expert multitaskers.
Cancer
Cancer is a water sign that runs on its emotions, and since it’s also part of the cardinal family, it’s packed with the kind of start-up energy that’s perfect for raising a family and building a home.
Leo
This determined, fixed sign is part of the fire family. As fires go, think of Leo planets as bonfires of energy—and just try to tear your eyes away. Leo’s symbol is the lion, and it’s no accident. Leo planets care very much about their familial pride—and about their personal pride.
19Virgo
Virgo is mutable and therefore easily able to switch channels when necessary. It’s part of the earth family and connected to the material world (like Taurus). Virgo energy loves to work, organize, and sort, but most of all, to fix what’s broken.
Libra
This communicative air sign runs on high. It’s cardinal, so when it comes to making connections, Libra is second to none. Libra planets are people pleasers and the honorary cruise directors of the zodiac, and are as charming and accommodating as the day is long.
Scorpio
Scorpio is of the water element and a highly emotional creature. Scorpio energy is fixed, too, so feelings are tough to shake and obsessions are easy to come by. Planets in this sign are devoted and determined and can be absolutely relentless.
20Sagittarius
Sagittarius has all the fire of Aries and Leo but, due to its mutable nature, tends to be distracted, spreading its energy among projects and interests. Think of Sagittarius energy as a series of red-hot brush fires, firing up and dying down and firing up again in a new location.
Capricorn
As the third earth sign, Capricorn is concerned with reality and practicality, complete with all the rules and regulations it takes to build and maintain a life here on Planet Number Three. Capricorn energy takes charge and assumes responsibility quite easily.
Aquarius
The last of the three communicative air signs, Aquarius prefers mingling and interacting with a group via friendships. Freedom-loving Aquarius energy won’t be restricted—not for long, anyway—and is willing to return the favor, in any and all relationships.
Pisces
Watery Pisces runs on its emotions—and even more so on its intuition, which is second to none. This mutable, flexible sign is aptly represented by the constant fluctuating movements of its symbol, the two fish.
