Western astrology originated from Mesopotamia and
also from Greek, which is why they have Greek
names.
Aries - The Ram - March 21 – April 20
You are bright and hard working, most comfortable working by
yourself, love to be the first to discover and present things to
the world, and rarely allow others to dominate you.
Taurus - The Bull - April 21 – May 21
You will be a peaceful happy soul for the most part, but it will
not take very long before you are one of the most stubborn
signs in the zodiac. Once motivated, you will work very hard
and seldom do anything foolish without thinking through the
consequences first.
Gemini - The Twins - May 22 – June 23
You are verbally skilled and often love music, but there is an
underlying hunger in you. It is as if you are searching for
something, some missing piece of your life. Perhaps it is that
endless search for some unattainable element that makes you
who you are.
Cancer - The Crab - June 23 –
July 22
You are not shy. If your feelings are hurt, you will tell
others. You do not hide it away and let it build up until you
explode. You let off little bits of steam as needed. If you
disagree with others, then you will tell them. If you love
someone, you tell them. If you think someone's outfit looks
awful on them, then you will tell them. You speak their mind
openly and honestly but never from a place of wanting to hurt
someone.
Leo - The Lion - July 23 – August 23
You write some people off as losers in a heartbeat and will
probably never change your mind. Even if you did find out later
that you were wrong about them, you would still blame them for
having misrepresented themselves. You are incredible leaders
with a charisma and charm that is unlike any other.
Virgo - The Virgin - August 24 – September 22
You are neat, organized, and have a gentle sense of humor that
people will enjoy. You are rarely hateful and mean. You will
give and give yourself without really allowing anyone else into
your inner world, because you really do not know how to
connect on a deeper level.
Libra - The Scales - September 23 –
October 23
You simply want to shop, dine by candlelight, and talk your ear
off. You fight for justice and will make sure that the underdog
gets his day of glory. You are brilliant and often have a mission
in mind.
Scorpio - The Scorpion - October 24 – November 22
You rule the house of sharing. You are the stewards of sharing
money, resources and love. It is your deepest most spiritual
need to be completely connected, loved, and sharing from the
depth of your soul. It is from this place that you are so easily
hurt. Wounded Scorpios are a force to be reckoned with and
yes, you are famously ruthless and cruel.
Sagittarius - The Archer - November 23
– December 21
You are very intelligent. You like to know how things work and
why they work. You can analyze the inner workings of just
about everything. You are always friendly and bright. You are
the sign of the eternal optimist.
Capricorn - The Sea goat - December 22 –
January 19
You know that you know everything about everything but you
just cannot quite remember it at the moment. You do not want
to let on to everyone around you that you do not have a clue
what the others are talking about, so you simply wing it and
join in with the belief that any minute now you really will know
what is being discussed and will not appear foolish or stupid.
Aquarius - Water - January 20 – February 18
You are popular and funny. You are natural leaders not from a
place of wanting to lead but from a natural charisma, that
simply attracts followers. You are eccentric and pride yourself
on being unique individuals.
Pisces - The Fish- February 19 – March 20
You're misunderstood and end up as a loner. You love people
and have a deep desire to connect on a spiritual soul-to-soul
level, but you end up protecting yourself behind walls for your
own safety. People think you are soft and wishy-washy but in
reality, you are quite stubborn and from birth to grave, you
remain true to yourself.

Find other people in your class who have the same star sign.
Let’s do a test to see if astrology works.
1. In your group do you all share the same personality?
• Are your interests the same
• Are your dislikes the same
• Are you already close friends
• Do you dress the same
• Are your goals and ambitions the same
Discussion:
Do you believe that you can predict what a new born baby will
grow up to be such as personality and profession by their
zodiac sign?
Does your sign really describe you?
If two babies are born at the same time, do you believe that
they would be very similar to each other?
When looking for a boy/girlfriend would you want to know
their zodiac sign?
In newspapers and online, people will read their horoscopes
to find out what their day will be like. Do you read your daily
horoscope or not, why?
