Whether you are a Cancer, Gemini, or Virgo; there are always stereotypes that come along with your sign. Some of them may be good, while some of them may have people saying "Oh you're a Taurus..."

There are twelve zodiac signs in total, here are some common stereotypes for the first six signs.

Aries

March 21st - April 19th
Aries is a fire sign ruled by Mars. When many people think of Aries, the first thought that my come to mind is that they are aggressive and short tempered. Aries also have great qualities such as a sense of independence. They can be competitive and adventurous people.

Taurus

April 20th - May 20th
Taurus is an earth sign ruled by Venus.The stereotype I hear far too often for Taurus are that they are lazy and stubborn. Taurus are very generous and loyal friends.

Gemini

May 21st - June 20th
Gemini is an air sign ruled by Mercury. The most common negative stereotype we hear about Geminis is that they are two faced. Because Gemini are a mutable sign they are able to adapt to any situation, which may be the reason people view them as two faced.

Cancer

June 21st - July 22nd
Cancer is a water sign ruled by the Moon. Many Cancers are described as crabby. Which is ironic since their symbol is the crab. However Cancers can be very emotional people, they have a motherly instinct to them.

Leo

July 23rd - August 22nd
Leo is a fire sign ruled by the Sun. Many view Leos as narcissistic and vain, however Leos can be some of the most generous people out there. Leos have a sense of confidence that is very admirable, it can also intimidate others.

Virgo

August 23rd - September 22nd
Virgo is an earth sign, like Gemini it is ruled by Mercury. Virgos are often stereotyped as nerds and clean freaks. Every zodiac post I read about Virgos depicts them as uptight. On the positive side, Virgos are analytical and are reliable, they are there whenever you need them.

Just because a zodiac sign may have certain qualities, it does not mean we all fit under that category. Astrology is meant for fun and to have a better understanding of yourself, it is not meant to change who you are to fit your sign's description.
