1. Aries ['eəriz]

Key phrase: "I am"

Aries people are brave and energetic. They will never stop if they have decided to do something. As the first Zodiac sign they are born leaders and tend to be bossy. They like to tell other people what to do. In addition, they are quite impatient as they don't like waiting.

Key phrase: "I think"

Being talkative, friendly and sociable, they enjoy being with other people. They are also intelligent and curious. They are good at understanding difficult ideas and their curiosity drives everything! However, they can be forgetful at times which makes them unreliable as well.

Key Phrase: "I feel"

Cancer people are imaginative and creative. They enjoy creating beautiful worlds from their imagination. They are often shy and reserved [rɪˈzɜːvd].

Key Phrase: "I will"

Leos are kings of the jungle gym. They are active rulers of this world. They are confident as they always know what they are doing. These big cats are courageous— they are real brave-hearts.

Energetic and optimistic, they are the sunshine of the world! Being cheerful, they always have a smile on their face and a song on their lips.
