The twelve astrological signs represent character traits and styles of expression. Almost any word that can be expressed as an adjective belongs to one of the twelve signs, but the signs represent more than just a list of personal quirks. They represent paths of development, and the processes and methods that illustrate how to walk along those paths. Not just the character trait of boldness, but the process of learning bravery.

Cancer males can have the sensitivity without having any way to remove themselves from the fray, emotionally ...
