While we tend to think of our personalities as being fairly constant throughout our lives, astrology actually suggests that our personalities and life situations change quite dramatically over time.
While every month has a corresponding birth chart, studies show that birthdates are actually not evenly distributed throughout the year, so most people often share birthdays in common months. With that in mind, let's break down the stars and see the usual zodiac signs.
Stars Aligned: The Low Down on the Common Zodiac Signs
Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Known as one of the most introspective water signs, Cancer is represented by the crab and is a cardinal sign. When following this watery leader, Cancer possesses the power to heal people around them by sharing their most intimate emotions and fears.
If you want someone who will never judge you, then Cancer is that person. Most Cancer signs are highly sensitive to other people's feelings and will do anything to avoid conflict. Cancer is one of the most nurturing signs, as well as one of the most intuitive.
People born under this astrological sign are usually highly creative and possess a rich inner life. While accepting, gentle, and sensitive outwardly, Cancer is actually a very sensitive and private person who is sensitive to even the slightest insult.
While you might see Cancer as a sensitive and vulnerable person, in reality, they are very independent.
Leo (July 23 - Aug. 22)
Leos are ruled by the Sun and are typically known as the most passionate and energetic sign. They are the most extroverted of all the zodiac signs and are known for their love for attention.
Leos are described as being very generous and warmhearted. Leos are extremely self-confident and ambitious, but are also quite generous and giving. Leos are also very independent and want to go after their own goals and live their own lives.
While it's true that Leos love the spotlight, they are also very down-to-earth people who are very forgiving and are always ready to offer help when needed. When an opportunity presents itself, Leos are ready to do whatever it takes to better themselves and are also quite ambitious.
Virgo (Aug. 23 - Sept. 22)
Virgos are ruled by the planet Mercury and are typically known as one of the most critical, detail-oriented, and analytical signs. Virgos are constantly putting others first and are very patient, as well as perfectionists. Virgos are also good communicators who strive for perfection in their work.
Because of their hardworking and diligent personality, there's a good chance that you've met a Virgo before. Virgos are also known to be very good organizers, who are often the first to come up with innovative and efficient methods that save time and money.
Virgos are also very wise, as they are often described as being old souls.
