What to Love About Your Zodiac Sign
As I was brainstorming on this week’s blog, I was thinking about each sign and how the qualities get mixed up in the world, each bringing a unique viewpoint and flavor to life. All of the zodiac signs have qualities that are considered positive, beneficial, and helpful.
And all the zodiac signs have qualities that are considered obstacles, difficult, and at their worst, destructive. In late November, the United States celebrates Thanksgiving, a time to give thanks for what we are grateful for in life. I thought it would be awesome to give thanks to the qualities I admire in each zodiac sign.
Living overseas has given me the opportunity to expand my network of colleagues, friends, and clients to an eclectic international mix. I must say that having friends from all over the world is one of the things I am grateful for in life. It has expanded my understanding and experience of the world. My language and cultural norms have diversified, and my interest in world affairs has more meaning.
I don’t think I would have been able to embark on such an adventure if it wasn’t for the strong family foundation I was raised in. I feel very blessed to experience both an international community and a close-knit family unit.
Living overseas in an ancient city that hosts international travelers and students from all over the world has shown me that no matter where you come from, we are more similar than different. I have met and made friends with people from every continent during my time here in Rome.
Life has so many positive sides to it, things to experience, and people you share life with. Some people pop in your life for a short period, others long, and some for life. Whether you know it or not, you have encountered every single one of the zodiac signs through your interactions with others, and of course through your own horoscope.
I wanted to take some time to talk about what’s positive, beneficial, and helpful by zodiac sign. Below are the things I am grateful for that are unique to your sign. Remember that each of these zodiac signs has a part to play in your birth chart, a wheel of all 12 zodiac signs that shows where the planets were in the sky on your birthdate.
Some signs will be more dominant, and others may be more in the background. You can only know by having your chart read. Remember that sometimes what is super amazing about one sign is significantly different than what is amazing about another sign, as in opposite. Which is totally what we experience in real life, right?
When those differences come head to head there is friction. Some of us want to do things quickly, while others are more comfortable taking their time. Some like fast food and others slow food. Hard rock or Jazz. Beatles or Elvis. You get the picture. There is no right or wrong, our traits just are. We fill the world with diversity and try to make our way through it together.
Today, I ask you to be open to how each of the beneficial qualities of each sign has its place in the world. Maybe even grateful for the positives those traits bring, even if they are not yours. Even if some of the signs have qualities you don’t possess, want, or appreciate, they can be beneficial.
Here’s what I love, appreciate, and am grateful for in each of the zodiac signs. With love, from your professional astrologer:

Wrap Up
I hope you get lots of chances to tell the important people in your life what they do that you are grateful for. Or how a particular characteristic or quality impacts you in a positive way. As humans, we need to hear this positive feedback from others. We need to know when we do something that impacts another in a positive way.
All of the positive traits I listed above are experiences I have had with people with those signs. These qualities are real.
To my entire community, thank you for being part of my tribe. I am grateful that you are interested in what I have to say, and are part of my growing community that wants to live an authentic life.
