STAR SIGN AND MAJOR ARCANA:

The date, time and location of your birth do not determine how you are, that other people and your time spent on this Earth will do, but rather that data and the position of planets corresponding to them speak of tendencies and influences that mark your life onwards. Either way said influence is subtle at best and your fate is ultimately determined by you and your inaction, but it does not hurt to know what somewhat relatable tidbits of insight I got for you this time. At least until I can get back to my programed schedule!

Keep in mind this is a very simplified overview based on just twelve star signs and people are far more complicated to be reduced to just so many archetypes. To every person corresponds up to three star signs but this is something too complicated to address right now.

The gist of this is that every star sign is related to a card of the Major Arcana of the Tarot, and said card both praises your best personal quality while warning you of your most recurring fault :

I) ARIES / The Emperor: Born between March 21 and April 19.

THE GOOD: You are natural-born leaders who inspire not by example (like Leo) but rather by force of personality. Your lives should be built around making others move for their betterment, challenging thought and critisizing the establishment. Ties with The Emperor card as it is the symbol of authority and a warning to take the reins in your life.

THE BAD: Being dismissive and purposedly ignorant of personal boundaries is what costs you all in the long run. You do not know when to stop goading others because anything less would feel like you are not being truthful to yourself, or sometimes you just do not care if you get in trouble if that will make someone budge your way. In a way people's overreaction proves all the ridicule you put them through. Because you are an energetic and unrelenting individual your might confuse other people's limit for their unwillingness to leave their comfort zones, and for that they will resent you.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Know when to stop pushing people and understand that you are not always funny or welcomed. A timed apology, even if it makes you physically ill, will cost you a lot less in the long run.

II) TAURUS / The Hierophant: Born between April 20 and May 20.

THE GOOD: The Taurus are very comfortable in taking life at a personal pace because whenever something piques their interest they will usually rush towards success. This swing between ample leisure but niche excellence is based also in sticking to practicality, and other people take notice, often citing you as a true example of someone who knows how to live life well. The key to success lies in knowing how to not delay yourself too much, but also rendering service to others by showing your know-how. Despite the fact that Bob Ross was an Aries, he fits into this image.

THE BAD: You pay too much focus on having a crowd of admirers and telling others how they should do or live, and the only reason you will ever update yourself is because someone else might seem to be gaining attention. If you were a painter you would only try new styles when your followers parrot about the latest trend, and that pang of jealousy can make you seem unstable or conceited. Your other fault is obssessing over old ways and a purity you do not seem to follow through, and this ties with The Hierophant card in that represents the ties to tradition and their enforcement, but not necessarily their fulfillment.

WHAT YOU NEEDTO DO: Stop telling people what to do while being a complete degenerate, and never try to belittle someone among friends, it shows and you lose face. You do you and you will be fine.

III) GEMINI / The Lovers: Born between May 21 and June 20.

THE GOOD: Bringing people together is your forte because you are able to understand each side with impartiality through a natural interest in finding out what makes people move. You have a keen mind and usually a welcoming demeanor that helps you intervene on behalf of others, but this capacity of yours is easily confused for what is not. You are a network player and not a mediator. You get who people need to fulfill their aims but not necessarily can make them like each other. Ties with The Lovers card in that it is a symbol of harmony that more often than not is just idealized mutual interest.

THE BAD: Your capacity to resolve conflicts comes at a price that thankfully enough is not a flaw of character that you have to overcome, but rather in presentation: you come off as too naive. Sometimes happens that you misunderstand that the origin of a conflict is not a failure in communication but rather deliberate disregard and a show of force, that two persons might be at each others throats not because they do not see reason, but rather wish to impose their own view. In other words, you often seek the middle ground when you should be choosing sides. Best to know when to make yourself conveniently absent because you cannot shake the feeling that choosing one over the other is being dishonest. You are impatient too.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Realize that not every problem requires your opinion, some people just want to bask in drama if not the confrontation, not your solutions. Let them come to you when needed or they will take you for granted.

IV) CANCER / The Chariot: Born between June 21 and July 22.

THE GOOD: With your talent to read the room and spin high tales people tend to put too much trust in you, and link their success with your own. That ability and your strong sense for self-preservation usually ensures you will make the right choices, and be at the head of vital events when having enough backup of trustful associates . Sadly, to achieve that you must become responsible and accountable, two qualities that you often ignore in preference of adventure. Ties with The Chariot in that when you succeed you do so notoriously, but every chariot needs wheels and beasts of burden to move, so it is not usually by your own merits alone.

THE BAD: While it does not mean you cannot do well in life on your own, you are used to capitalizing on opportunity presented by your social circles, and instead of sticking to traditional methods you will rather choose searching for novelty than stick to what works. That can lead you to a lot of failed enterprises, debts and closet skeletons, so instead of making amends and paying your debts you might decide to run over everyone on your road to success. In other words: your recklessness will destroy everybody around you if you are not serious, more than any sign, because being easy to love makes any disappointment the worse.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Be more responsible so that being lazy does not force you into criminality. Friends and reputation are your best asset so never risk them in some crazy scheme.

V) LEO / Strength: Born between July 23 and August 22.

THE GOOD: You are a born leader but unlike Aries you do not goad people into action but rather present yourself as a pillar of the community, or an example to live by. Supportive, generous and brave in the face of duress you expect that a good action will spark imitation and set a new standard. This is the essence of The Strength card, a will to power and the power of will that settle an argument by virtue of undeniable proof.

THE BAD: You overburden yourself with troubles, sometimes imagined or not immediately personal such as political issues, and like that you are wasting your potential because you hold others to personal standards that might not apply. You may sometimes form dependant relations by tricking yourself into thinking that, should you cut your support too early, that person will never make it. Beware of such parasites

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Understand that you have limits. You cannot survive for long being polite, you know how it goes, speak softly but carry a big stick. Beware of becoming a tyrant.

VI) VIRGO / The Hermit: Born between August 23 and September 22.

THE GOOD: Analytical and tied firmly to tradition, the Virgo is an example of pragmatical thinking and a link to the past. All professions that are linked to showing how things were before are the forte of the Virgo, such as antiquarians, librarians and historians. This does not mean they are any worse with more materialistic careers, especially those pertaining accountancy and the fiscal aspect of business. Whatever you do you choose to turn it into the core of your personality almost as if it were monacal duty rather than a source of income.

THE BAD: Your focus on tradition can lead you to dogmatis and agnosticism. The Virgo likes a secure and static way of living not so much in the sense of being humble and simple but as in never having its continuity challenged. Whether you are a carefree biker riding through state highways or a socialite used to luxury, you just want that to last forever and on your own terms, which despite being an admirable trait such tenacity can lead to doubling-down on things best left behind on time. This ties with The Hermit card in that you have an early and firmly set worldview that you do not wish altered.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: You sacrifice adaptability for a stable enviroment that becomes your cage. Learn to survive outside your comfort zone, just in case, and do not be so quick to put down the view of others. What seems obvious to you might be what others have built their personality around, no pratical need to rouse fanatics against you.

VII) LIBRA / Justice: Born between September 23 and October 22.

THE GOOD: Often thought a natural diplomat, Libra is the kinder counterpart to Gemini because it focuses on changing how people feel rather than how they think. Libra does not challenge their view by offering the right solution but rather eases them into it, with varying results but often repercussion-free. Some say facts do not care about feelings but Libra happens to understand that feelings are what make many care about facts in the first place!

THE BAD: In its pursuit for concordance the Libra will sometimes give undue importance to appearance. It may happen that despite having the best intention at heart the Libra may be misunderstood as a poser, or compensating for an empty life with aesthetics. This failure is usually found in Libra's tendency towards brevity. Ties with The Justice card in that Libra is quick to remind others of their faults which makes them see superficial and elitist.

WHAT YOU NEED: Some matters need more than a timely gesture or some people may think you really do not care for their plight. You need show more commitment and not hold others to your standards, lest they prove you wrong.

VIII) SCORPIO / Death: Born between October 23 and November 21.

THE GOOD: Scorpio delves excellently in things considered too terrifying by others, and because of their fearless drive they easily expose inconvenient truths. Think of them as what invasive surgery and organ transplant are to modern medicine: something not everybody can stomach but a life-saving standard.

THE BAD: You are a transformative force for everyone around you be it for good or bad, and that usually makes you undesirable because you openly speak of things that few willingly seek. The avoidance of your peers is not your worse trait, but the fact that you deal or behave in destructive manner can drag you down a path of addiction, recklessness or violence.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Your scope of interests is inadequate for most people so you must learn to seek your crowd, or risk ostracism and self-harming isolation. Learn to delay pleasure or you will suffer like no other in the whole Zodiac. In other words, be careful with who you confide.

IX) SAGITTARIUS / Temperance: Born between November 22 and December 21.

THE GOOD: Passion incarnate, the middle ground between impulse and rationality captured in the symbol of the centaur (half rational man and half impetous beast), it is the sign of travellers and explorers. They achieve much in life due to their energetic tendency to become involved with most of what surrounds them. It is the wild card of the Zodiac, good for all and unpredictable.

THE BAD: Where Cancer is undecisive and seldomly has the initiative, Sagittarius is quick to change goals and leave unfulfilled projects and promises in its wake. Inconsistency is what plagues this sign more than any other negative trait, followed soon after by ambiguity. In the political aspect this sign may see itself embracing the polar-opposite to certain opinions and suffer in trying to make sense between two positions. Sadly, it goes through life seemingly caring only for novelty and the spur of the moment when is drive by genuine, but short-lived, focus. Ties with the Temperance card in that you will not go too far without that quality.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Learn that not everything is important and that you need not actually care so much. Return to half-completed tasks often with renewed vigor rather than seek novelty.

X) CAPRICORN / The Devil: Born between December 22 and January.

THE GOOD: The most stubborn of them all, driven and determined. Can make a lost cause flourish and will persist where others would consider effort anything but stark madness. Admirable but misguided not in effort but in its isolationist character, because at some point the effort will actually work and prove all others of their little faith. You are too willing to sacrifice but also demand that from others.

THE BAD: Your enduring nature comes at the cost of being vulgar and frugal in your pursuits, because you are hardy enough to succeed without the comforts that other people would consider essentials you will in the long run become judgemental and quick to dismiss others as weak. The archetype of the mad-eyed gold prospector comes to mind, who may go for months without a bar of soap until fortune is found. Once again, admirable, but as with Scorpio your attitude will make you less desirable to others. In your case is not for delving into what makes others uneasy but rather how you subtly show off superiority. The Devil represents shackles brought by vice and moral stagnation, and while you are less prone to dangerous addictions, you will eventually break your back by over-exertion and prideful individuality.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Spend less time judging others for not doing as much as you do, and never remind them of their weakness. Pick your battles, open up and make friends.

XI) AQUARIUS / The Star: Born between January 20 and February 18.

THE GOOD: Thinking outside the box is the stellar trait of those born under Aquarius and innovation is their drive, whether it is on a personal level or societal, they inadvertedly make a difference. How much and how transcendetal is really up to their work ethic.

THE BAD: A sign of artists and inventors the key quality here is their strangeness, their unusual way of thinking about things, but more often than not this is lost to idealism or puerile goals. It is said that the difference between madness and genius lies with success, almost as if what matters is how many will buy into an idea and if they will line your pockets in cash, and that is what often happens to the Aquarian: they are not good with money. Their life is spent in pursuit of something meaningful but always larger or more important than themselves, as if they were ashamed of asserting their value as an individual. More often than not they can justify inactivity through philosophical means, be it stoicism or ascetic principles that deny the importance of leading a normal life. Ties with The Star card because of how the Aquarian often has selfless ideals for the betterment of others.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: Understand that being broke is not necessarily part of being a philosopher. There is nothing wrong with ocassionally being an egoist and that no utopia can ever be achieved without tending to debased logistics. Get a Virgo partner to help you cover that aspect, they make for excellent conversationalists. Like your neighbor Pisces you judge yourself too harshly.

XII) PISCES / The Moon: Born between February 19 and March 20.

THE GOOD: Bringing joy and hope to others, this is what the Pisces does best. They are the story tellers that make children smile and the spiritual advisors that bring a community together, camp counselors, therapy buddies, priests and close friends. They are the kind of people who can see great meaning in the simplest things in life. Grea

THE BAD: Only by having a greatly inflated opinion on the world is how Pisces achieves what was said early, hence why they are the star sign most prone to depression, because they cycle between fantasy and reality just like The Moon card represents. This card talks with great contrast of personal delusion and the price that follows. Too kind, too gentle for this world they become experts in shaking the blues from others not just out of empathy, but because it justifies their avoidance of personal issues.

WHAT YOU NEED: Despite spreading hope you must learn to live without it, because when misplaced will follow by rude awakening. Self-guilt and a constant feeling of deserving all the bad things that happen to you make you forget that, technically speaking, a shark is also a fish. Give yourself to others less or you will break.
