It is a sign that likes to build partnerships & collaborations. 70% Film actors have at least 1 planet in Libra sign! J 50% are either Moon sign or Sun Sign Libra. Moon or Sun Libra is always successful regardless of the neech/debilitated Sun. They are also workaholic and try to do things one by one as it is a “char” rashi (“moving”).

SCORPIO /VRISHCHIK Sign Characteristics

They love power & they love to intimidate. They look very stable on surface and very stubborn but just below they are boiling with emotions. The word “Khunnas” and “Passion/Junoon” is synonymous with Scorpio Moon / Sun Sign. These people go to extremes. They are VERY intense and they can & do take a lot of stress/load/responsibilities. This is reflected in black circles around their eyes (especially Scorpio Sun Sign). They are very secretive – information / knowledge are like power and not to be shared easily. They do have some psychic abilities and often know what other person is thinking. They have great instinct and often it is true. They need to keep POSITIVE approach always – negativity can make them sting themselves! This is a great sign for military jobs. Scorpio sign planets in a horoscope denote tremendous passion for an incomplete desire of the past birth! Contrary to Western Sun Sign calendar – Bill Gates, Julia Roberts, Shah Rukh Khan, Leonardo etc are Sun Sign LIBRA and not Scorpio. “Tragedy king” Dilip Kumar although moon sign Leo, he is Sun Sign Scorpio (Dec 11).

SAGITTARIUS /DHANU SIGN CHARACTERISTICS

These folks are idealistic & have childlike purity. With strong Mars they tend towards sports, with strong Jupiter, towards academic/education field. They have robust bone structure & a big forehead which shows thought leadership and broad vision. They are outspoken and cannot lie. Even a kid would know if they lie! J Idealistic/positive speech is their forte. As they are fire sign their response to any event is action – what do I need to do and not “Why it happened to him/me”. They are often termed as “Role Model Student”. They have a “can-do” attitude which can move mountains without the passion/prejudice or kunnas of Scorpio. There is NO NEGATIVITY in their approach and always a sense of a greater good! Moon in Moola nakshatra is intense and serious/disciplined & shows some Karmic issues with Mother. Purva-ashadha is a milder one. A soul that wants to be a GREAT sportsman takes birth on Sagittarius Moon Sign (Sachin, Sunil), Sun (Kapil Hadley, Schumacher) or ascendant (Don Bradman). Although Saints are born under this ascendant or Sun, they are more towards religion / action / DHARMA - The Sense of Duty is more their Cup of Tea (Samarth Ramdas Swami) than spirituality (Saint Dyaneshwar, Saint Tukaram). Great professors are also born under this rashi. (Sachin T, Gavaskar, VVS Laxman, Aishwarya, Dharmendra, Sun Sign: Kapil Dev/Schumacher/Hadlee/AB Wajpayee)

Capricorn /MAKAR Sign Characteristics

These are a conservative lot. They are very serious / sincere, non-nonsense types. They are the hardest working folks. They are very industrious. They display all of Shani’s characteristics like seriousness, self-control, proven approach, slow but steady, hard-work, perseverance. These folks do not share easily and are greedy in a good way. The negative side is too much self-control could lead to depression, cynicism. They are selfish in some (rather most) ways. They are a step by step person i.e. do not like big-bang approach. Their tomorrow is ALWAYS better than today. They are not very popular with colleagues and do not even try to be popular as their purpose is personal achievement, self-growth etc. They treat material/monetary success much more than any other growth. Sun Sign Capricorn also exhibits these traits: Folks born from Jan 14^th to Feb 13^th are Sun Sign Capricorn (Balasaheb moon Sign Kanya but Sun Sign Capricorn.) Mars in Capricorn is considered uchcha / exalted (Sachin, Pete Sampras). Jupiter is considered neech (debilitated). Capricorn sign planets in a horoscope denote busy approach, always onto something!

Some astrologers in Maharashtra seem to make fun of Virgo (Kanya) Sign and also portray Capricorn as a very unfortunate sign!? I have no clue why! J The fact that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Balasaheb Thackeray were of Virgo moon sign (apart from Rajinikanth, Indira Gandhi, Raj Thackeray, Shah Rukh being Capricorn Moon Sign) should be good enough as a counter-argument! J Rajinikanth is Capricorn moon sign and how you dare you call it an unfortunate sign? J

Capricorn sun sign folks born from Jan14 to Feb13/14 Jan also show these characteristic. Folks born from Aug16 to Sept15 LEO Sun Sign oppose these characteristics; Folks born from Dec16 to Jan13 Sagittarius Sun also oppose Capricorn characteristics.

Aquarius / KUMBH Sign Characteristics

Usually Tall, Absent minded genius, An intellectual sign “lateral thinking” ability, Selfless intellect of highest order starting with Gemini to Libra to Aquarius: the Air sign Triangle of these 3 signs. Aquarius is owned by Shani but for physical presence. The “logical owner” of Aquarius is Uranus which is governor of electricity, electronics, modern sciences that starts at Mars (Engineering) in a primitive state. Their thoughts are always ahead of their times. Their dress sense is VERY simple and often topic of ridicule of others. Although Guru is considered exalted in Cancer, South Indian astrologers consider Guru exalted in Aquarius. Rather, they think that a given horoscope is of a lower category if not a single planet is in Aquarius sign! J These folks have a great foresight & they are often unorthodox, progressive and modern in their thought process. Aquarius sign vibrates to number 4 & the dates 4, 13, 22, 31. They are very friendly and collect a big friend circle. They can be called “Jagad-Mitra”! (Moon: Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Shammi Kapoor, Salman, Hillary Clinton)

Aquarius Sun sign birth-date from FEB14 to MAR13 also show these characteristics. Those born from Sept16 to Oct15 VIRGO Sun Sign oppose these characteristics; those born from Jan14 to Feb13 Capricorn Sun Sign also oppose Aquarius characteristics.

Pisces /MEEN Sign Characteristics:

Pisces “The Bhulakkad Sign?” http://astromnc.blogspot.com/2010/11/meen-pisces-rashi-folks-bhulakkad.html

Pisces sign folks are very mild mannered, with limited mental & physical energy. They are most happy when they are “giving” away something (info, knowledge, money etc). They are born millionaire or live like one. They will not show great urge to achieve materialistic success. They have wisdom acquired from every sign and have traits of every sign and can relate to all types of personalities without much effort. They are like the fish who can see at both the sides but never straight-ahead! J They know what would happen if you take this decision or that decision but would find it taking a decision with great conviction. But they will easily decide on very broad and long term issues. They do things with utter ease which could come across as the lack of interest or vigor. They are far better in planning than execution. They can give selfless advice. The word selfless is probably made for them. They give away the most important of their wisdom / information easily. (Unlike Capricorn or Scorpio signs) J It is almost impossible to surprise them. Staying in completely in a comfort zone, going with the current/flow OR swimming completely against the tide is their real destiny! Folks born from March 14 to April 13 are Sun Sign Pisces and also show this trait. Folks born from Oct 16^th to NOV 15^th LIBRA Sun Sign oppose these characteristics; Folks born from FEB 14^th to MAR 13^th Aquarius Sun Sign also oppose the Piscean characteristics (Dev Anand, Deven Varma, Sun Sign: Vengsarkar, Jackie Chan, Jitendra, Kangana R)
