Sun in Gemini, May 21 - June 20

Gemini. My fellow Air sign. I once read that Gemini and Aquarius are the best match out of the entire Zodiac. My sister and best friend are both Geminis; I can vouch for the truth behind that statement. Excellent communicators with a penchant for jumping from one thing to the next, they're natural leaders and great friends.

Sun in Aquarius, January 20 - February 18

Aquarius is the sign of the Zodiac that I'm most closely attached. My Sun (February 1), Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are all in Aquarius. Because of these strong placements, I've always felt like a true Aquarian. A common misconception with Aquarius, because it is the sign of the Water Bearer, is that it's a Water sign; in actuality, Aquarius is an Air sign (along with Gemini and Libra). 

Those with Sun in Aquarius or heavy 11th house placement in their chart may possess the following characteristics:

• Progressive
• Intellectual
• Unique
• Independent
• Tech Savvy
• Futuristic

Sun in Capricorn, December 22 - January 20

Other than having Neptune placed in Capricorn, I never related very much to this sign. To be quite honest, the stereotypical Capricorn is not someone who I'm naturally drawn to. I've always been a dreamer and Capricorns are rather pragmatic. It wasn't until the past year that I even had any close friends who were Capricorns. However, as I continued to study the houses in Astrology, I learned that I actually have Capricorn on the 7th House cusp. The 7th House rules partnerships, relationships and marriages. Many who share this placement find love later in life or are slow to settle down. I like to use this as one of the excuses as to why I haven't found Mr. Right.

Those who have Sun in Capricorn or strong Cap placement in their chart may possess the following personal attributes:

• Serious

Sun in Sagittarius, November 22 - December 21

I have Saturn and Uranus placed in Sag. While I don't generally pay too much attention to the outer planets, I'm an Aquarius Sun. Being that Aquarius is co-ruled by Saturn and Uranus, I do have a powerful Sagittarius connection in that regard. My Jupiter (which rules Sagittarius) is also in my Sun sign of Aquarius. A bit confusing but lots of ties back to Sagittarius.

My Dad is a Sagittarius as was as my beloved childhood dog and some of my best friends from college. Next to Libras, I've always found Sagittarius to be one of the most popular signs of the zodiac. You can always count on them to be fun-loving, full of energy and outgoing. They make some of the best friends you could hope to have.
