The Most Progressive Thing About Each Zodiac Sign
They're set on positive change.
getty There are days where we are challenged constantly. Every step forward is greeted by resistance; we want to go further, but there are obstacles everywhere we go now.
We are now being called to rise above our differences — it is essential for each and every individual to get in touch with their best, higher self. We need to create a better world, as we've done so much regrettable damage to it already.
In a world where all we notice are the negatives, it's important for us to tap into our potential for good, for love, for health and peace. We've become so jaded, so used to being bitter, mean and defensive that we don't even consider the idea of being polite, or kind, or compassionate anymore. We just go for blood and ruination, assuming this is all we have left.
It's not all we have left. We still have our potential. Humans, at their core, are noble. We can be good, we can be phoenix-like and rise up out of the misery we've come to know as life on earth.
The worst thing humanity ever did to itself is deny its potential as good. We can be so good, but we have lost our faith in goodness and progress. We now need to concentrate on what inside us will take us to the next, most progressive, most positive stage in our evolution.
So, considering astrology and the progressive zodiac signs, what is it they do that makes them so forward-thinking?
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries uses natural talent and ability to explain, sort out and write the words we all need to read.
Aries has no intention of staying put, or sinking into the mire of negativity. They cannot accept what is wrong, and they will not remain settled in a situation that doesn't work for them.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
We've all heard about the stubbornness of Taurus. Well, this is precisely what works for them when they get a good idea — one that will take them far.
Dedicated and steadfast, Taurus will accomplish a task if they are passionate about it. Nothing stands in the way of their progress if they really want something done.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Gemini progresses slowly, but eventually. It's very, very hard for Geminis to own their progress; they start and stop rather easily.
But they do dream big, and envision great things for themselves. If anything, they dream big but thwart their own progress with indecision.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer makes firm decisions. They figure out what works for them and they stick to the plan, even though they tend to be truly unforgiving.
To progress, Cancer will step on your face if they must. But this only reinforces their dedication. In other words, nothing gets in their way — not even you.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leo is a very kind sign, and they very much want to be kind to others. Through acts of kindness, they progress, though they are sometimes thwarted by the idea of not being accepted for their good deeds.
Progress to a Leo is making everyone happy, no matter what the cost.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
When Virgo makes the effort to withhold what's on their mind, they progress. Meaning, Virgo likes to spew poison; they have a poison tongue and they do severe damage to those around them with their thoughtless words.
However, Virgo does like to rise above this behavior, and their progress develops best when they take time to think things out before speaking.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libra digs the balance, and will make their lives all about keeping the peace, pleasing the people and doing whatever it takes to live life on an even keel.
They feel they are continuously improving and that progress comes naturally to them. They know hard work leads to the goal.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpio runs as a loner, and is very much interesting in their own well being, as they should be. When it comes to self-care, they are the first ones to admit they need it, and their idea of progress is all about giving themselves over to whatever it is that makes them feel good.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
The more Sagittarius removes themselves from society, the happier they are. Progress, to a Sagittarius, is all about discovering the world, on their own, their way.
They are open to suggestions, but that window is open for only so long; they progress through introspection.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
Progress is a cut and dry event. You want progress as a Capricorn? Then you work for it. You work hard, you play hard and you do the right thing.
If you aren't about the brass tacks approach to life, you're wasting time and energy, according to Capricorn. Progress is going for it, no questions asked.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Progress to Aquarius is getting some time alone in a world where they feel everything is compromised. They are always busy, and they don't like that. Between family, kids, work, school, life — it's all just too hard at times for poor Aquarius.
What takes them up to the next level? Demanding "me time." Trust us, they need it.
PISCES (February 19 - March 10)
The most progressive thing a Pisces can do is to pace themselves. Pisces is a frantic sign; they crave meditation, relaxation and exercise. They need it to calm down.
Progress happens when the Piscean recognizes that they can release the need to do it all.
