Meek, mild, colourless and self-effacing this lady is not. She's a queen, and expects to be treated like one. Even the more repressed Leo woman will show this side of her nature, although it may be heavily disguised under socially acceptable manifestations of good behaviour. The ...

You might expect the Leo man to be slightly larger than life. He usually is. Sometimes it's in the obvious way - his creative talent, or his success, or his flamboyant personality. Leo often radiates charisma - and whether you like him or not, you're likely to notice him. Someti ...

There are two types of Cancer women. Those who are Mothers. And those who are Eternal Children. Often they cross, and you find both in one. Cancer is often the epitome of the feminine - moody, non-rational, alternately loving and cruel, unpredictable, gentle, soft, capable of su ...

'Never think,' wrote the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, that there is more in life than can be packed into childhood. We might say, with more accuracy for Cancer, that there is not more in life than can't be packed into Mother. And here you have the greatest strength and also the grea ...

The bull is an extremely masculine animal. Although Taurus is considered to be a feminine sign, the male version doesn't much display femininity - unless you consider as feminine the qualities of gentleness, sensuousness, and love of beauty. But Taurus tends to run a little mach ...

It isn't the easiest thing in the world to be an Aries woman- in a world which burns Joan of Arc. The attitude which prevailed in Joan's time is not over yet. When you read the judgments and pronouncements of her contemporaries on her, you find an astonishing thing: what really ...

The Aries man is the original Knight. He's also the original male chauvinist, because you have to hit him with a veritable brick to remind him that his protection and interference may not be welcome. And you have to virtually turn him inside out to get him to notice that you can ...
