< PreviousFREEDOMIt’s also true that we can experience freedom in various aspects of our lives, and the opposite of freedom, which we could call limitation, in others. How is the concept of freedom expressed by the individual signs? The way that Aries craves and experiences freedom is quite different to the way that a Libran would - the Aries, for example, would be constantly seeking freedom of expression and thefreedom to be unencumbered by others or the society she lives in. On the other hand, a Libran would typically wish to experience freedom through eliminating injustices, for herself and forothers. By understanding how each Sun sign loves best to experience freedom in life, you can gain some deeper understanding of what motivates each person by understanding what will give them the highest experience of liberty and through that, expansiveness and happiness. Freedom can be experienced in many ways, and for each of the Sun signs in Astrology this is completely true. March 21-April 20 Cardinal Fire Ruled by Mars Aries loves nothing better than the freedom to be truly herself, to take risks and show the way as the leader that she is. She will not tolerate being caged, or told what to do. While some view her as being reckless, she is more than capable of looking after herself.May 22-June 20 Mutable Air Ruled by Mercury Gemini loves the freedom to change her mind, to state her point of view eloquently and unequivocally, and she also loves the freedom to exert her independence. She detests limitation of any kind and is quick to find away to slip out of any tricky knots that others may try to bind her with, be they mental, emotional or physical. Variety is key to her feeling of freedom.April 21-May 21 Fixed Earth Ruled by Venus When it comes to freedom, one could be forgiven for thinking Taurus is lacking in this area. She loves to dig her feet into the earth and feel the steadiness and dependability of physical security, which may seem to be the opposite of freedom and liberty. But look at it this way - Taureans love the freedom afforded by a full purse, a full stomach and a full heart - that is true freedom to the Bull! AriesTaurusGeminiJune 21-July 22 Cardinal Water Ruled by the Moon Freedom to the crab means the ability to avoid tedious or claustrophobic gatherings and instead to gravitate towards the comfort of home - for her the ultimate freedom is in her safe home environment. She desires to have the freedom to express the full range of her emotions, without judgement. While she wants to keep those dearest to her heart by her side,she also wants what's best for them and will let them have their own freedom - just don't stray too far!August 23-September 22 Mutable Earth Ruled by Mercury Here is another sign for which freedom does not sit comfortably. The Virgin is so invested in serving humanity, whether it's her family, co-workers, community or humankind in general, she does not seek freedom at all - what would she do with all that time and energy that could be put to so much better use? The key for Virgo is to embrace the freedom to serve where her heart leads her.July 23-August 22 Fixed Fire Ruled by the Sun The Lioness is a great lover of freedom - especially for herself. She is happy to afford others their own freedoms as long as they are duly grateful and show their appreciation for her generosity and love. She has a heart as big as the Sun itself for those of her subjects who are most loyal. As the Monarch of the Zodiac, she expects to enjoy more freedom than anyone, and the irony is that, as many Queens before her have discovered, the price of monarchy is actually a loss of freedom. Finding balance for her is key.CancerLeoVirgoSeptember 23-October 22 Cardinal Air Ruled by Venus The Libran is much concerned with freedom, for herself and the greater good. She needs to have the freedom to choose what moves her heart and mind. An Air sign ruled by Venus, she really does need the freedom to express her sensual nature that is not tied down with the morals or attitudes of others. While she is a peacemaker, she is nevera pushover, in fact she may tell you what you want to hear while planning her escape so don't be fooled!Mutable Fire Ruled by Jupiter Sagittarius is the epitome of the freedom lover - she loves nothing better than to trot all over the globe, loosing her seeking arrows far over the horizon and bringing back allof the knowledge available in the world. She will never be tied down, so the secret to having the Centaur stick around is to give her more freedom than she seeks, not less. She will base many decisions on the amount of freedom afforded by her options. October 23-November 21 Fixed Water Ruled by Pluto The Scorpion is the Alchemist of the Zodiac and can transmute base emotions into gold, so the idea of freedom to her is the freedom from social niceties that cover up the truth, which she is never afraid of looking in the eye. She is the one likely seeking more emotional honesty from those who cross their path. Being close to a Scorpio is like having someone see straight into your Soul and burning away what she doesn't find worthy. LibraScorpioSagittariusDecember 22-January 20 Cardinal Earth Ruled by Saturn As Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, you might expect her to be completely uninterested in freedom. But you would be wrong. The Sea Goat is an enigma, at once representing freedom and bondage. The Goat is a prisoner of the craggy mountain and the Fish is the seeker of freedom. She knows that in order to create the most freedom for herself, she must create her own opportunities, buckle down and do the work, and she does it all with great humour, patience and grace.February 19- March 20 Mutable Water Ruled by Neptune You could say that Pisces is the ultimate free sign. As the Fish, she is slippery and hard to pin down, as those who have tried have discovered to their detriment. While she is a gentle, mystical Soul, she is no pushover. The Fish hates to be mistreated and misunderstood, so it is surprising how often this actually happens to her. She will have you thinkingthat she is stuck in her misery but turn your head for a moment and she has made her escape. Her Ruler is Neptune, the Great Dissolver, so be warned - nothing is as it seems.January 20-February 18 Fixed Air Ruled by Uranus Even though Aquarius is a fixed sign, her ruler, Uranus, is the lightening bolt that brings instant and dramatic change. Freedom is her middle name. She is always ready to go with the flow of change and if she finds herself too stifled by convention, she will create her own thunderstorm in order to experience the freedom from drudgery which she craves. Not one to be tied down, expect the unexpected and don't be complacent.CapricornAquariusPiscesPERHAPS, THERE IS NO SUCH PERSON WHO CAN BE CALLED TRULY FREE, BUT ONLY THOSE WHO CAN BE DEEMED SO BYCOMPARISON abcdefghijkl―© 2013-2017 Smart Healthy Women Magazine.
