Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

If popularity contests existed in the literal sense, Aquarians would probably be the winners. Often thought of as somewhat eccentric, they love to surround themselves with family and friends. Aquarians are typically inventive, original, and want to make the world a better place.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Pisceans are some of the most empathetic people you'll meet. Imaginative and understanding, people born under Pisces can also be described as romantic, comforting, intuitive, and, at their worst, even tortured. This arts-loving bunch is usually attracted to the water and swimming; their sign is two fish, after all.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Much like their symbol, the ram, Arians possess an animal magnetism. The first sign of the zodiac, those born under its rule can be described as confident, bold, and energetic. At their worst, however, Arians are characterized by their bossy, self-centered, and blunt natures. These folks are born leaders and are known for their abilities to be both enthusiastic and ambitious.

Taurus (April 21-May 20)

Taurus (April 21-May 20)

If you're a Taurus, you can be described as patient, decisive, and reliable. And while you're likely a lover of luxury, your practicality ensures you won't take your need for quality goods to levels of excess. When times are tough, you may be considered temperamental and resentful, but your warm-hearted nature makes up for it in the long run.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Personality-wise, Geminis are known for their sharp wit and curious natures. And seeing that they're the sign of the twins, Geminis are therefore known for being dual-natured and complex. At their worst, Geminis are tense and moody, and at their best, they're lively and charismatic.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Cancers are some of the most loyal people around. Known for their intuitive, nurturing spirits, they often thrive in creative environments. At their worst, however, Cancers can get moody and overly sensitive, isolating themselves from others. This bunch has a tough outer shell, just like a crab, the sign's symbol.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Just like their symbol, the lion, Leos are known to be protective, loyal, and courageous. But on a bad day, watch out. Those born under this fire sign can roar with arrogance and jealousy. You'll love them for their magnetic, charismatic personalities, though, as these are the traits that make Leos natural-born leaders and entertainers.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Virgos are perfectionists, which can be both good and bad. On the one end they are devoted, resourceful, and analytical, but when times are tough, they can become overwhelmed by the details. Those born under Virgo, however, are some of the most loving, faithful, and charitable types around.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Libras are some of the most popular people in a crowd because of their characteristically charming, adaptable, and sociable nature. But at their worst, they can be indecisive, gullible, and even self-indulgent. But not to worry: a Libra's poised, easygoing personality almost always wins others over.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Scorpios are excellent investigators who possess a heightened sense of intuition. And thanks to their curious ways, they're often fearless, competitive souls. On a bad day, Scorpios can be known for their stubbornness and temper. But at their best, this complex bunch is dedicated, imaginative, and in control.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Thirsty for knowledge, Sagittarians are confident and outgoing. They are known as seekers of both truth and adventure. Sometimes, though, their gregarious ways can get them into trouble, to the point where they overstep their boundaries. They typically do, however, take the time to think things through, enabling them to look at the bigger picture ahead.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Capricorns are realistic and down-to-earth. Business-minded, hardworking, and goal-oriented, goats will work their little tails off to get to the top. They're also considered one of the most patient signs of the zodiac and are practical in just about everything they do. Beware, though. This kind of drive can easily lead to materialism and greed.
