Get to Know: Your Astrology Sign

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at CWU chapter.

Some days you spill coffee down the front of your shirt, hit every red light, AND fail an exam; other days, your highlighter is on point, your crush texts you, and the direct deposit hits… Is it fate? Luck? Stars? You mean, the reason I’m having a bad day today was because of the day I was born? Possibly so.

Zodiac signs are based on the belief that people have strong pre-determined personalities. Though your attitude may change throughout time, you always have a core personality. Daily horoscopes may sound ridiculous at times, but getting an extra excuse for having a bad day might be just what you need.  

Aries

March 21- April 19 

Aries like being first, nothing less. Often times this causes them to look egotistical, when in reality, they’re just leading the pack. While they love adventure and are very energetic, this influences them in taking unnecessary risks.  The best match for an Aries is a Leo because of the passion that they carry. The worst match for an Aries is a Cancer because an Aries is going to want to dominate and be spontaneous and this attitude causes a Cancer to be anxious and frightened. 

Taurus

April 20- May 20

A reliable, sensitive, patient, kind, and loving human being (probably a teacher). Taurus’ can really demonstrate commitment but it can be seen as overly possessive and extremely inflexible. This sign is constantly looking for a feeling of content meanwhile, being very security minded. The best match for a Taurus is a Leo because they both have prominent and strong qualities and have the desire to show off. The worst match for a Taurus is a Sagittarius because a sagittarius is too free to be contained… we all know a Sagittarius…

Gemini

May 21-June 20

A Gemini is probably going to be that extroverted introvert that you know. While they are very energetic and quick-witted, they are also very nervous. Their mood can change in a second which is seen as inconsistent. Being able to accept the inconsistencies has made Gemini a sign that is known to adapt very well. The best match for a Gemini is a Libra which is surprising considering how many personalities would bounce around, but Geminis and Libras really understand each other. The worst match for a Gemini is a Virgo because you have waaaaaay too much energy for that.

Cancer

June 21- July 22

You know you met a Cancer when you see a tissue box next to their bed. That’s right, Cancer is the emotional sign. It is very easy to hurt the feelings of a Cancer and they pay close attention to how their heart feels. Cancers will love and nurture you until they love and nurture you a little too much. The best match for a Cancer is…. a CANCER. No one will understand your emotions better that you. The worst match for a Cancer is a Aries because they clash over how to self-express.

Leo

July 23- August 22 

The words loving and passionate undersell a Leo. Leos will go to great lengths to please their partners. Though Leos tend to withdraw when their position of power is challenged, they still consider themselves broad minded. A Leo will give you their last shirt right off their back. The best match for a Leo is an Aries because of their fiery personalities. The worst match for a Leo is a Scorpio because of the dominating nature Leo has that would drive a Scorpio up the wall.

Virgo

August 23- September 22

Virgos are very modest and very shy, making them hard to catch. It’s not that they don’t like you or that they are playing hard to get, they are just so brutally shy. Though very punctual, Virgo’s obsess over the idea of order. The best match for a Virgo is a Pisces because of all the good synergy. These two minds can accomplish anything. The worst match for a Virgo is a Aquarius… even hearing the signs name drives you nuts! True love, though able to conquer all, will be tested here because of the power struggle in the communication.

Libra

September 23- October 22

Life without love makes it hard to operate for a Libra. Falling in love comes naturally for a Libra and instinct has a lot to do with that. Libras enjoy to travel, play sports, and watch theatre. They are strong supporters on equality; however, sit on the fence and almost never put their feelings into actions. The best match for a Libra is an Aquarius because they both have perfect affinities with the mutual love of society and people.  The worst match for a Libra is a Virgo because Libras are not a fan of criticism whereas Virgos love to dish out a nice plate of criticism.

Scorpio

October 23- November 21

Scorpio is one of the more powerful Zodiac signs and they make excellent leaders. The only thing holding a Scorpio back is that they tend to be emotional. Their intuitive trait helps them deal with the emotional side and even gives them more of an edge. Watch out though, Scorpios tend to be resentful and jealous. The best match for a Scorpio is a Taurus because these two signs have so much in common. They are physically and emotionally bound together and both are willing to compromise. The worst match for a Scorpio is a Aries for the excessive power seeking. 

Sagittarius

November 22- December 21

As an opportunist ready to seize the moment as it presents itself, it can often times come off as being irresponsible and careless.This sign is always looking on the bright side and won’t often face the blues. Very honest and caring–you are safe with a Sagittarius. The best match for a Sagittarius is a Leo. It makes for a passionate and spontaneous love. They both desire excitement and find excitement in each other.  The worst match for a Sagittarius is a Capricorn because conflicts come from the Sagittarius’ light heartedness.

Capricorn

December 22- January 19

Capricorn is like when your brain is telling you the smart thing to do– practical and wise. The Capricorn sign is all about common sense and adding direction.Capricorns are very ambitious and obedient but has the tendency to be selfish. The best match for a Capricorn is a Virgo. They are destined to be strong and long lasting partners because they both put home and family above all else. The worst match for a Capricorn is a Sagittarius because of the extreme opposites.

Aquarius

January 20- February 18

Intelligent and entertaining, two great qualities to have. It’s like the best of both worlds. Aquarius is known for being an extrovert with a very trusting nature and loyal presence. Aquarius is a very straightforward person who doesn’t like to show their true feelings. The best match for an Aquarius is an Aquarius… because they are always in complete understanding even if there is a little rattle and battle. The worst match for an Aquarius is a Taurus because with an unpredictable Aquarius, life may be too challenging for the all too easy going Taurus.

Pisces 

February 19- March 20

Pisces are very loving people and are a bit more sensitive than the other zodiac signs. They can feel in depth and levels that some cannot even imagine. Be careful when dealing with a Pisces you are in love with, because absent minded comments cut them deep. The best match for a Pisces is a Cancer because a Cancer knows all too well what an emotional outlook feels like. The worst match for a Pisces is a Sagittarius because that is too much of a heavy load to carry for a Pisces.
