The 12 signs of the zodiac are:
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Symbol: Ram
Element: Fire
Compatible Signs: Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces

Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Symbol: Bull
Element: Earth
Compatible Signs: Cancer, Virgo, Pisces, Capricorn
Traits: Nobody loves change, but those born from April 20th – May 20th may be particularly allergic to it! As the bull symbol may suggest, the Taurus sign is strong-willed and stubborn. But, their stubbornness also fuels their great inner strength and stability.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Symbol: Twins
Element: Air
Compatible Signs: Aries, Leo, Libra, Aquarius
Personality traits: Picture the life of the party, and you probably just called to mind a Gemini. This fun-loving sign is balanced out by an insatiable curiosity and hunger for knowledge. Gemini-born love variety, and hence, switch things up often.

Cancer

Leo
July 23 – August 22
Symbol: Lion

Element: Water
Compatible Signs: Cancer, Virgo, Capricorn, Pisces

Compatible Signs: Aries, Leo, Libra, Aquarius
