The True Personality Traits Of Each Zodiac Sign, According To Astrology
Your true self, revealed.
getty All the good and bad personality traits of human beings becomes somewhat equalized when we are put to the test; if we are in danger, or if someone we know or love is in danger, then we stand up and we fight for them.
We put down our petty behavior and our toxic outlook for the sake of doing good. This is how we, as human beings, show who we really are or who we are "at heart."
And it's no different for each of the zodiac signs.
Most of the time, we’re good people — who we are "at heart" or what we are made of during the times that test us is what makes us dig deep and find that truly noble state of goodness.
While not everyone has great intentions, most of us would at least like to consider ourselves good at heart, and our horoscope can even sometimes reflect that. Then again, our personalities at heart may be somewhat of an anti-hero.
So, can we tell what the zodiac personality traits truly are? Can we determine, with the help of astrology, who the zodiac signs are at heart?
Are you a hero or an anti-hero? Do you jump at the chance to help another or are you a shadow-person at heart, keeping in the dark, possibly fearful of new experience?
Let’s take a look now at what astrology suggests for the true personality traits of those whose star falls under these star signs.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
At heart, you are a good person. For all the pushiness and ego-related demanding you do, at the heart of you, you are a very kind person and you do want to help others.
You may not always like the process or even the people, but in the long run, Aries, you want to play for the good team.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
When it comes down to it, Taurus, you’re all about love and kindness. You’ve noticed that over the years, the best feelings for you come from the love you share with others, including your love for animals.
You’re a kindhearted beast yourself, and in your heart, all you really want is to be loved and appreciated.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
At heart, you’re a little scared, but wow do you ever want to excel at the things you do. Fear has kept you at bay for way too long, and the truth is you really do want to accomplish great things. You see your goal ahead of you, and you won’t stop until you reach it.
You are ambitious but lazy, Gemini, and you really do wish to improve on the things in your life that haven’t worked for you. At heart, you’re someone who tries hard and looks forward to success.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
If you could, you’d bring the whole world together for a real kumbaya and hold hands festival of love. In your heart, Cancer, you really do think of the big picture, and if you could be a part of creating more love on earth, you would.
However, your happiest and most authentic when you get to see others being happy — you have a very generous heart.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
You have a heart of gold, Leo. Even though you may feel needy at times, beneath it all, if you’ve made someone smile, then you’ve done a good deed, and nothing feels better to you than making people smile.
At your heart, you’re a good person with a real need to make sure everyone around you is content. Go you!
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
The truth is, you’re a very good person and you want to show love and support. At your heart, you are all about good intentions. What gets in the way is your sense of harsh judgment; you think too hard about what’s wrong with people, things, and situations and it ends up ruining everyone’s good time.
It’s not what you want. You really do want peace, you just tend to get in your own way, Virgo.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
If there is one sign that embodies kindness and consideration, it’s Libra because, at the heart of it all, Librans are just nice people naturally.
Whether you do it simply to keep the peace, or because you just like seeing people smile, it doesn’t really matter, because Libra, at heart, is a peacemaker and a do-gooder. If you know a Libra, you’ve got a friend for life.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpio, at heart, is a lover of truth. Personal truth and mind expansion is what takes Scorpio into the realms of the heart, and when they are able to speak the truth and heart, they are happy.
While Scorpio has the worst reputation of all the signs, the reality is that these people are highly intelligent and wish for all the good things that anybody else wishes for. Scorpio craves honesty and truth is all that matters for these folks.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
The truth of all Sagittarians is that they are all about love and being accepted as they are. You’ll never find a happier person than the Sag who gets to live their life as they wish to, without pressure.
So, the heart of a Sagittarius is about personal freedom and the right to choose their lot in life. Good people to the core, they only require some alone time now and then to recharge their batteries.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
By nature, Capricorn is a worrier, which can also mean that they are people with great consciousness for others. The heart of a Capricorn is made up of love and consideration for others, even at their own expense.
Cap wishes they could be a little more confrontational, but even when they can’t say what’s on their mind, they find ways to make everyone happy nonetheless, even themselves. At heart, Capricorn is a good-natured and generous person.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarius is the sign that brings forward the people who are filled with great, progressive ideas. At heart, Aquarius is a creative type; they want to build bridges, fix communications, they are solution-oriented people.
What keeps them going, loving and trying so hard is that they have a vision in their heart that is always worth trying for.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
At the heart of the Pisces is a great need for receiving love. This is the most sensitive of the zodiac signs, and while these folks can at times seem almost too vulnerable, that vulnerability is all heart — they mean well, and they truly do appreciate all that comes with family, romance, and love in general.
Pisces is a lover, not a fighter, and at their core, they only wish for peace, beauty, and loving contentment.
