The Fixed Signs

Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius are fixed in position. Stubborn.

The Cardinal Signs, covered in the previous lesson, have the urge to go out and move. Fixed signs, however, would prefer to have everything move around them. The best description of these signs is: slow to get moving, impossible to stop. Once they start to move, get out of the way. They just keep going and going, like the energizer bunny.

TAURUS : Keywords are stubborn, materialistic, sensual. The most “fixed” of the fixed signs. People with several placements here (particularly Venus) incline to the more material, sensual side of life. It is opposite the sign.

SCORPIO : Keywords are secretive, obsessive, sexy. Scorpio loves to get secrets out of others, but just try to find out about THEIR private life! Forget it. Scorpio placements are good for any profession involving healing (death and rebirth) or investigating (detective, scientific investigations, etc.). The tendency to extremes affects other areas of the life as well. The negative side of Scorpio is jealously and vengeance.

LEO : Keywords are flamboyant, showy, playful. This is the sign of show business. No matter what the profession, the typical Leo sun-sign people act as if they are on stage. There are shy Leo’s of course, but in that case they usually have strong “Walter Mitty” fantasies. Leo’s motto is “Nothing but the best”.

AQUARIUS : Keywords are strange, unusual, shocking,  far-out, peculiar, socially-unacceptable, and all these only on a slow day! However, this is also the sign of genius. In the horoscope, it shows where we have the potential to transcend the ordinary. This is also the sign of friendship. Aquarius sun-sign folks are said to be closer to their friends than to their own families.

Remember, at this point, we are only covering the ALPHABET of Astrology. Later in the course, I’ll be showing you how to put it all together.
