What Your Zodiac Sign Actually Means

As told by a non-believer.

What Your Zodiac Sign Actually Means

I am starting this article off with a disclaimer saying that I have no experience analyzing astrological signs. I truly have no idea what I am doing. I am basing this entire article off of what I have picked up from meeting different people throughout my life. With that being said, enjoy.

Aquarius

The open-minded, smart sign. Aquarius-born individuals are the kids on campus that join the Peace Core, Enactus and the Rotary Club. We all know who I’m talking about. They just want to help out, you know? If you need an unbiased opinion, ask an Aquarius because they tend to stay neutral on most subjects.

Pisces

Most likely an art major that prefers to wear chopsticks in her hair than a traditional hair tie because she’s “different.” She also probably has more pictures of cats in her camera roll than selfies. This is not a bad trait by any means! Pisces tend to be the lovey-dovey friend with a soft-sounding voice. We all know who those people are.

Aries

The energetic one. This sign is constantly doing something active, whether it’s school-work, three jobs, skipping down the hall, etc. They won’t let you forget it either! I like to think of an Aries as the Sporty Spice of all the signs. With their busy, go-go-go mentality, sports of any kind come natural to them. Not so much for me, but it’s all good. Do your thing, Aries.

Taurus

Their symbol is a bull, right? This sign loves being in control. Taurus’ are extremely reliable and practical. You can always trust them to be on-time, or even slightly early. Basically, this sign is the mom / dad of the group. Take it from someone who is constantly in group projects, Taurus' do not do well with quick change or when the situation is not going their way. The bull thing is starting to make more sense now that I think about it.

Gemini

Also known as, the craziest b*tch you’ll ever meet. You never really know where you stand with a Gemini. They are notorious for having split personalities, you know. This sign seeks to be the center of attention in most situations. A pro-tip when dealing with an irate Gemini, do not tell them they are wrong. You’re welcome in advance.

Cancer

Oh yes, the best sign of all, not that I’m biased or anything. Cancers are home-bodies. We would rather chill at home with a few of our closest friends than go out to a party. It doesn’t take long for a cancer to forgive a person who’s done them dirty. We are naturally loyal creatures. There is nothing worse than small talk to this sign. They want to talk about deep subjects like, how hair grows or how disgusting pregnancy is. Don’t ask us to share our emotions, though, because that is not happening. Bye, girl!

Leo

Also known as the leader, this sign will always volunteer to be the group project manager. They love, love, love being the boss. This can sometimes come off as arrogant and / or stubborn. It’s all part of the game to a Leo. Apart from being slightly controlling, this sign is obsessed with their family. A Leo will be the loudest one at the family gathering, telling jokes that make the whole room burst into laughter.

Virgo

The bookworm, more or less. This sign is always the top of their class and they probably knew what an Oxford comma was in the fourth grade. They usually will sit front and center of the class and continuously ask questions. This sign is highly intuitive. They’re always the first to detect trouble. If you’re wise, you’ll let a Virgo analyze the situation for you. Take their advice. They’re good with stuff like that.

Libra

Also known as the “I want everyone to like me” sign. This sign knows everyone on campus. They’re often viewed as the mom or dad of the group. Like Cancers, they enjoy deep conversations over pointless conversations. They honestly don’t care that your day has been long or that you need to study. They want to talk you about how car radios work or how carpet gets made.

Scorpio

I’ll tread lightly with this sign as I am dating a Scorpio and know how touchy they can be. Scorpios are very hot and cold creatures. They want direct answers and don’t want to waste any time with fluff. Scorpios are no strangers to grudges. You mess with a Scorpio, and it’s over. On the flip side, befriend a Scorpio and they will be loyal as they come. Just don’t let them find out you’ve done anything shady.

Sagittarius

The wild and free sign. People born as a Sagittarius are often wicked smart and love to travel. They usually have a kick-butt Instagram due to their love for traveling. Impatience is their downfall, though. If they want it, they want it now and nothing is going to stop them from getting it.

Capricorn

This sign is the one you’ll want to bring home to your parents. They have been infamously known as the “nice” boy or girl since before they can remember. They have excellent manners and tend to be more traditional. I don’t want to say that Capricorns aren’t funny, but their jokes may take a little explanation, which kills the joke real quick.

To be honest, I probably got all of those wrong. Sorry.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
