Scorpio - 24th October - 22 November

Unfortunately, Scorpios have a bad reputation and are often talked about as cruel and hard-hearted. They tend to be emotionally energetic, trustful and honest. On a positive note, their energy can lead to a determined and forceful approach to life, which will bring results. Scorpios are also known for their magnetism.

Sagittarius - 23rd November - 21st December

Sagittarians have a great sense of fun and optimism, and enjoy being with people who share this philosophy in life. Freedom is also very important to this star sign, and friends or partners should avoid putting a Sagittarian in a claustrophobic situation. Although generally an open-minded and trusting sign, they can also be double-faced and hypocritical.

Capricorn - 22nd December - 20th January

Capricorns are born with a lot of potential, but are often held back from achieving by their own pessimistic attitude to life. This is partly down to lack of confidence, and they often under estimate their abilities/achievements. Just like famous Capricorn Rowan Atkinson, many under this sign will have the gift of humour. Other positive aspects of their character include common sense and patience.

Aquarius - 21st January- 18th February

Aquarians are one of the few star signs you can’t really generalise about, as no two are alike. An Aquarian can be unpredictable and will often add surprising opinions to a debate. They can be ill-natured and unsociable, merciful and good-humoured. Sometimes they are hard to be understood.

Pisces - 19th February - 20th March

A Piscean is an emotive being. They are highly sensitive creatures with a great empathy and generosity of spirit. As one of the kindest signs in the zodiac they are often helping others, and will make friends for life. Known as the poets of the zodiac they can have an idealistic view of life, which can be their downfall. But sometimes they can be dishonest and unkind
