April babies are born leaders who love to be the center of attention. They’re chatty and smart, but also impulsive.
As the fire sign ruled by Mars, Aries energy is bold and courageous, astrology expert Desiree Roby Antila tells mbg. Aries is a cardinal sign, meaning it kicks off the season of spring.
Aries
Aries is the first sign of the of the 12 zodiac signs, which one is symbolized by the creature with the most legs? and symbolized by the ram. Ruled by the planet Mars, this fiery sign is combustible, always looking for action, excitement, and a challenge. They’re on-the-go, and their impulsive, no-thinking style can make them super impatient with slow people.
A strong sense of fair play animates Aries to step in when someone is being bullied or targeted. They also give “mother bear energy” to their close relationships, Neptune says.
When it comes to love, Aries doesn’t waste time getting in and going all out, but they can bore easily (see: their aversion to sitting still). Adrenaline is their biggest aphrodisiac, and they’re beasts in the sack. They’ll never stop chasing what they want. And they won’t forgive disloyalty. Ever. They’re just too headstrong for that. They’re their own best friend, and they’ll fight to the end for it.
Taurus
The bull is a popular Taurus spirit animal, as it symbolizes strength and tenacity. Taureans are dependable and practical, and they’re not easily swayed by others. They’re also known for their love of luxury and comfort.
They may occasionally veer into stubbornness, but this typically stems from their deep-seated desire to consider every angle and possibility before making a decision. This deliberation can actually be quite helpful, as it helps Taureans avoid common mistakes like putting their foot in their mouth or getting too close to the flame.
Another good spirit animal for Taureans is the flamingo, which embodies elegance and beauty. This is important for Taureans, as they’re often drawn to finer things in life, and their Venus planetary ruler gives them gifts and aptitudes in all things related to beauty and aesthetics.
Gemini
Gemini is ruled by the planet Mercury and is associated with communication, learning, and constant change. This sign is also known for being restless and quick-witted. They often fight like they talk, with a stream-of-consciousness barrage of arguments and witticisms.
They are able to do this because of their mutable nature, and their ability to adapt easily. This is why the twins are the symbol for this sign, as they represent duality in life. Geminis are also a bit like chameleons, adjusting their personalities to fit the energy of a situation. Crows are another spirit animal for this sign because they are intelligent and curious creatures that can adapt to any environment. Similarly, dolphins are also highly adaptive and enjoy challenging themselves.
Cancer
Cancer is a water sign ruled by the moon. They’re sensitive and emotionally intuitive, but can also be moody and insecure. They tend to be homebodies, drawn to stability and routine. Traditions and the past captivate them, and they love art that reminds them of another time.
These heartfelt homebodies are devoted to their family above all else. They’ll happily treat their friends to comfort food and nostalgic movies, but their innermost circle comes first.
In a relationship, two Cancers become compassionate confidants who are always there to listen. They’ll rely on Gemini for emotional understanding and will reciprocate by offering their own perspective on the situation. But their relationship can also be tense because of their opposing personalities.
Leo
Leos love to be the center of attention. They also appreciate the element of worship in others. They’re able to find the unique qualities that make people worthy of their attention. They tend to be loyal friends.
They are lionhearted and brave. They aren’t afraid to stand up for their rights or the ones they love. In addition to this, they are also charismatic and incredibly generous.
Stardust says that Leos are best matched with fire signs like Aries and Sagittarius. But they can pair up with other signs as well, including Aquarius and Gemini. Leos need to feel adored and loved, so they need someone who can give them that. They’re also pretty good at making new friends and they’ll keep doing so even when they become a parent! They’re the life of the party.
Virgo
Virgos are born with their heads and hearts connected, and on a good day, they love life’s most minute details, are thoughtful, and innately caring. Ruled by Mercury, they process information methodically and can throw together a gasp-worthy spreadsheet like nobody’s business.
Those born under this sign are the most dependable of all zodiac signs, taking their commitments seriously and never wavering from their goals. They’re also incredibly hard-working and can turn to logic when faced with a challenge.
Co-ruled by Mercury, this mutable earth sign marks the end of summer and symbolizes nature’s bounty and fecundity that are ready to be collected and distributed. This is reflected in their nurturing and service-oriented personality traits. These folks are analytical and analytic, but can be a little bit critical. They are very careful with their words. They always listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision.
Libra
Libras are socially adept and peace brokers who want to see everyone’s point of view. Their spirit animal, the graceful crane, symbolizes wisdom and receptivity to life’s challenges. Themis, another god-like creature associated with this sign, represents higher expressions of Libra energy—such as justice, harmony and balance.
Ruled by Venus, the planet of love, pleasure and beauty, it’s no wonder that Libras crave a life that looks good—they’re also adept at turning conflict on its head by pushing for harmony or, in cases where they feel the scales of justice are off, equity. They’re the designers of the of the 12 zodiac signs, which one is symbolized by the creature with the most legs? and are always eager to add beauty to a room or conversation, says Montufar. They’re prone to people pleasing, so their lack of boundaries can lead them into codependent relationships.
Scorpio
Scorpios can be domineering, and they often think they know better than others. They can also be jealous, and they hold grudges for a long time.
Scorpios are passionate AF, but they’re also loyal — to their own beliefs and their inner circle, which is why they’re the best friends to have. They’re also clairvoyant, which means they have an intuitive ESP, and they can read people very well.
They’re ruled by Pluto, the god of death, and Scorpios are comfortable with the darker side of life and love. They’re cunning, enigmatic and intensely sexual. They can be a bit of a mystery, but they’re also honest to a fault and hate dishonesty. They also prefer longer relationships over quick flings. Their Celtic spirit animal is the butterfly. It symbolizes rising from the weight of tensions.
Sagittarius
Like the ram, whose astrological symbol features a circle and two lines that emerge as horns, Sagittarius is confident and full of passion. They have a positive attitude and believe that all will turn out well, as they’re ruled by the expansive planet Jupiter.
They’re incredibly optimistic and love to inspire others. They have a sense of adventure and like to take risks. They’re also great storytellers and use universal truths to teach.
When it comes to love, they’re free spirits and enjoy making conquests until that spark of attraction flares up. They can also be a little reckless and act too hastily, especially in situations that require diplomacy or delicate action.
Capricorn
Ruled by Saturn, the planet of discipline and seriousness, Capricorns are practical and grounded. They’re natural-born leaders and thrive in positions of responsibility.
In their relationships, they love to be in charge and want to maintain a traditional family dynamic. They can also be inflexible if they feel their views are being threatened. This could happen in a relationship with conflict-averse air sign Libra or competitive fire sign Aries.
Despite their seriousness and steadfastness, Caps have a bit of an impish side to them that likes to indulge in a night of fun. They may enjoy drinking alcohol, shopping at high-end department stores and reading in their downtime. Their spirit animal is the mountain goat, which perfectly reflects their desire to climb toward success. They’re also known for their financial savvy and big-picture perspective. Their best matches are with a pragmatic Taurus, cerebral Virgo or driven Scorpio.
