(You can start here if you’re new)

Aries: Enthusiastic and outgoing, adventurous and independent, Aries’ are able to overcome any challenge they’re faced with. They are courageous but short tempered, determined but impatient, confident but impulsive, enthusiastic but aggressive. Aries likes comfortable things and leadership, but not delays, inactivity, and boring work.

Taurus: Determined, withdrawn, boring, discreet, reliable, patient, devoted, stable, stubborn, possessive, practical, and sensual, Taurus’ enjoy life’s comforts. They like romance and music, not to mention high-quality comforts, but don’t like sudden change and being insecure.

Gemini: Gemini’s are communicators, in search of new, unique experiences. They are intense, curious, affection, adaptable, nervous, indecisive, and inconsistent. Gemini’s like the arts, communication, and new “toys” to play with, but they don’t like being alone or confined, or even routine.

Cancer: Romantic, compassionate, contradictory, loyal, moody, eccentric and sensitive at the same time, Cancer’s have good imaginations, but that can also cause them to be pessimistic and suspicious. Their good persuasion skills can also be used in manipulative. Close with their family, they like art-based hobbies and helping others, but are also very personal and become uncomfortable when revealing personal information.

Leo: A true leader, Leo’s are radiant, creative, humorous, cheerful, warm-hearted and generous. But they can also be arrogant, stubborn, lazy, and self-centered. Bright colors and hanging out with friends can excite a Leo, but if they are ignored or faced with reality, they become annoyed and frustrated.

Virgo: Caring, confident, faithful, creative, generous, supportive, loyal, hardworking, and caring can all describe a Virgo, but they are also shy, over-critical, and worrywarts. Don’t worry, animals and books can cheer them up, but they won’t ask for help.

Libra: Libra’s are charming, happy-go-lucky types that seek peace and harmony. They are very cooperative and diplomatic, but they often shy away from power due to their indecisive nature and their hate of confrontation. They like sharing and communicating, but loudmouths can scare them away.

Scorpio: A passionate romantic at heart, but Scorpio’s are also resilient and and resourceful and powerful and sensitive. Old souls who can be a stubborn true friend, they are jealous, secretive, and at time violent, even though they don’t mean to be. They like the truth, facts, and being right but don’t like drama.

Sagittarius: Optimistic and honest, Sagittarius’ seek adventure and independence, much like their Aries cousins, but also have a weak point: their large hearts. They are idealistic and generous, which can often lead them to promising more than they can deliver. Clingy people, constrainment, details, and waiting can turn them off, but freedom (especially traveling), philosophy, and the outdoors can lead them right back.

Capricorn: Resilient, patient, ambitious, reliable, disciplined, and sympathetic, Capricorn’s are often content with their lives. They are found to have good manors, but sarcastic at time. Capricorns like family, tradition, music, and quality. It’s much more easy to find something they don’t like.

Aquarius: Aquarius are rebels, they are eccentric trendsetters that can think quick. They are often independent, loyal, progressive, and caring. They like fighting for causes they support, helping others, and intellectual conversations (especially ones that make them look smart) but don’t like limitations, broken promises, boring situations, and people that don’t agree with them.

Pisces: The most mysterious sign, Pisces are sensitive and emotional, but also talented, artistic, musical, wise, and resilient. They often feel they are pulled in two direction, desiring to escape reality. Pisces like being alone, sleeping, music, and spiritual matters. Unfortunately, they don’t like the past, cruelty, being criticized, or being proved wrong.

What Is MBTI?

rainingravenLeave a comment

MBTI is like astrology, but more based on fact and results than stereotypes and predictions. MBTI stands for Myers-Briggs Type indicator. In MBTI there can be a ton of results, exactly 16. You can be introverted or extroverted, you can go through problems by thinking or feeling, or you could be somewhere in between.

MIND-I or E?

I stands for introverted and E stands for Extroverted, but what do they mean?

Introverts prefer to be alone, they don’t like too much social interaction, but that doesn’t mean that they won’t talk at all. Instead they’ll be shy and sensitive until they feel comfortable around you or others. Don’t push introverts, they go at their own pace.

Extroverts are the opposite; they are loud, outgoing, and social. They prefer to be around people and get lonely easily. They are more enthusiastic and energetic and excited than most introverts. Although extroverts prefer to be out in social gathering and around people, they get tired too and need alone time as well. Just not as often.

ENERGY-N or S?

N stands for Intuitive, and S stands for Sensing (or observant).

Intuitive people are creative and imaginative, they are open-minded and curious, they focus on things others wouldn’t and what might not be practical. Intuitive people focus on the bigger picture, and then the smaller details, but they might have trouble connecting thoughts with what they do. They follow their intuition.

Sensing people focus on what’s going on around them, logic and facts. They are pragmatic, they start with the fact and then move on to the big picture, they look for the bottom line. Sensing people down to earth, they go with their own experiences rather than what they are told. But sometimes they pay to much attention to the facts that they miss opportunities.

NATURE-T or F?

T stands for thinking, and F stands for feeling.

Thinking, do you prioritize logic over emotions? Do you think truth is more important than tactfulness? Do you hide your feelings? Do you think efficiency is more important than getting along? Than you use you head instead of you heart, you look to fair solutions before anything else. You may seem too task-oriented, uncaring, or indifferent, but you are more resourceful than those who go with their gut feeling.

Unlike their feeling companions, people who think are sensitive and emotionally expressive, they go with their gut feeling and follow empathy rather than what’s better logically. They are less competitive and are more harmonious. People who feel are more concerned with how other feel and are compassionate, tactful, and communicative. Some people see people who feel as idealistic, mushy, or indirect, but you make sure everyone is happy and okay.

TACTICS-J or P?

J stands for judging, and P stands for perceiving.

Judging may sound like a harsh word to use, but it means that you are more organized and task oriented than those who are perceive. They value clarity, predictability and closure, preferring structure and planning to spontaneity, they also like to make lists. Work comes before play, and planing comes before working. Everything in a judging persons life has a place and a order, but sometimes focus on the goal can result in missing new information.

Perceiving people are laid-back, flexible, relaxed, and good at improvising. They are open minded, loose and casual, plans burn out them out too easily and would rather work in bursts of energy. Work and play can mean the same thing to a perceiving person, but they would rather play than work. But if you’re open to everything, how do you know what to trust? Deadlines are missed and information is mistaken, perceiving people have to be careful for how much they are loose or laid back or they might miss things.

Notes:

Do you not relate to any of these? Or do you feel in between? Some people are ambivalent, a mix of introvert and extrovert, just like some people are 78% introvert while others are 34% introvert. And you may have one strong personality aspect and the others are weaker, it all depends.

What Is MBTI?

What Is Astrology?

Astrology is the study of the stars, constellations, and the positions of said stars. People also believe that Astrology can control your personality. The Zodiac signs are a part of astrology, they are the stars that align with the equator. So if you were born between March 21st and April 20th, then you would be an Aries because the constellation, Aries, is lined up with the equator.

I do acknowledged the Chinese Zodiac, but I will not normally blog about it.

The Signs:

Aries: The Ram

Born between March 21st and April 20th. A cardinal fire sign.

Taurus: The Bull

Born between April 21th and May 21th. A fixed earth sign.

Gemini: The Twins

Born between May 22th and June 21st. A mutable air sign.

Cancer: The Crab

Born between June 22nd and July 22nd. A cardinal water sign.

Leo: The Lion

Born between July 23rd and August 21st. A fixed fire sign.

Virgo: The Maiden

Born between August 22nd and September 23rd. A mutable earth sign.

Libra: The Scales

Born between September 24th and October 23rd. A cardinal air sign.

Scorpio: The Scorpion

Born between October 24th and November 22nd. A fixed water sign.

Sagittarius: The Centaur/Archer

Born between November 23rd and December 22nd. A mutable fire sign.

Capricorn: The Goat

Born between December 23rd and January 20th. A cardinal earth sign.

Aquarius: The Water Bearer

Born between January 21st and February 19th. A fixed air sign.

Pisces: The Fish

Born between February 20th and March 20th. A mutable water sign.

Water Signs:

Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces.

Words used to describe water signs: intuitive, emotional, imaginative, nurturing, secretive, dreamy

Air Signs:

Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius.

Words used to describe air signs: analytical, curious, thinking, intellectual, social, detached

Fire Signs:

Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius.

Words used to describe fire signs: spontaneous, inspired, enthusiastic, outgoing, passionate, self-centered, visionary, dramatic, instinctual

Earth Signs:

Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn.

Words used to describe earth signs: practical, useful, structure, productivity, tangible, grounded, sensual, tactile, dependable

Cardinal Signs:

Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn.

Words used to describe cardinal signs: instigators, leaders, initiators, self-motivated.

Cardinal signs start the season, they create.

Fixed Signs:

Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius.

Words used to describe fixed signs: stubborn, stable, steadfast, loyal.

Fixed signs continue the season, they maintain.

Mutable Signs:

Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces.

Words used to describe mutable signs: adaptable, flexible, adjustable, changeable.

Mutable signs end the season, they destroy.

Notes:

If you feel like you don’t fit the description of your sign, then you may have a different dominant sign. Which brings up the topic of moon, rising, mars, venus (ect.) signs. Depending on where you were born and when you were born decides the rest of your chart. I will talk more about different dominant signs later along with moon and rising signs.

Don’t worry if your sign is a mutable sign (when it says destroy), it doesn’t mean you are a destroyer, it means you are “destroying” the season.
