Whether you are simply curious or downright adept at astrology, it is not uncommon for you to find yourself staring at the horoscope of our sign, discovering its characteristics or even looking for our compatibility with others…

The Zodiac is an ancient science, which is based on the position of the stars at the time of our birth to assign each month of the year a solar sign, and the qualities, or defects, that go with it.

Thus, there are 12 traditional signs, according to the beliefs of astrology:

“He is daring, full of ardor and impulsiveness”, notes Marie Claire.

“The Taurus sign is an epicurean, a bon vivant. He likes to enjoy the things of life, ”says the women’s magazine.

“As the first Air sign, Gemini is a sociable being, a volatile butterfly that easily adapts to the environment in which it finds itself,” reports Femme Actuelle.

“The sign of Cancer uses its fragility to protect itself as soon as it senses danger, there is no longer any need to manage it… Emotionality is paradoxically a real shield: excessively on edge, it ripe at the slightest ailment. advances Marie Claire.

“Confirmed, well in their sneakers, sure of the legitimacy of their choices or their fights, the Lions are not easily destabilized”, relates the Journal des Femmes.

“Foresighted, rational, practical, meticulous, Virgo sees a little beyond the end of their nose,” explains Marie Claire.

“She is courteous and conciliatory, but can suddenly be harsh and intolerant of a character or physique that does not resemble her enough,” according to Elle.

For Vogue, “he is a very (too) sensitive being, on edge, of an anxious nature. Its ability to resist makes us believe otherwise. He’s tough on pain. »

“What characterizes Sagittarians is above all their joy of living, they are optimistic, always in a good mood and do their best to communicate their optimism around them”, explains France Bleu.

“True to their earthly character and horns, Capricorn is an earthy sign, solid, even a little stubborn. He needs concrete, organization, benchmarks! “, notes the Journal des Femmes.

“He is elusive and tends to run away from any form of attachment. The native hates routine and wants love to bring him a spark, a new experience, but in no way stability, ”describes Elle.

“If we listen to those around them, they sometimes border on hypocrisy and their intrinsic shyness often pushes them to pretend to be intelligent. Yet far from being stupid, Pisces have above all a hyper emotional intelligence. “, explains Marie-Claire.

According to shamanic astrology, each Zodiac sign also has its own totem animal, and it can tell us a lot about ourselves.

Present in the indigenous cultures of North America, the totem animal is considered a deity. It is also a species with which an individual feels a strong bond, sometimes, whose presence can be recurrent in his life, and in several forms. Its influence is thus supposed to guide us, and its aura, to protect us.
