How Each Zodiac Sign Wants To Change The World
One person can make a difference.
getty We all want to leave this earth a better place and we want our lives to have meant something. What is it that you do to create a positive impact and change the world? Do you do volunteer work or charity events? Is giving money to good causes more your thing? Do you focus more on the environment or on helping to cure illness, find solutions to the homeless problem, or are animals your priority?
My fight is different than yours, and yours is different than the next person. And in astrology, each Zodiac sign has their own way in which they want to change the world.
There are many ways to make a lasting impact, both large and small. You might have a job that’s all about helping others such as a doctor, nurse, or social worker, or you might live your life as environmentally conscious as possible with your intent of leaving a very small carbon footprint. Politics may be your main focus, and you spend time trying to change the system and work towards eliminating corruption.
Any step you take has a rippling effect, and when those steps lead to the improvement of our planet, you are making the world a better place. But just how do the zodiac signs take it upon themselves to change the world?
ARIES (March 21 - April 19)
Aries are energetic leaders who aren't afraid to fight for what they believe in. They will be extremely active when it comes to a cause. If they think that something is wrong or unjust, they will take action.
There is no greater fear for them than the fear of doing nothing and watching as an issue gets worse. Aries don't like to lose, so they will give their all if they're campaigning for a cause or a political office. An Aries doesn't just say that they're going to change the world — they do something every day that makes a positive difference.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
When it comes to changing the world, Tauruses are focused and they make sure they're heard. When they're committed to a cause, there's very little that will deter them. People look up to and respect Taurus, so their words and actions add gravitas to an issue.
If a they are backing a cause, others will start to take it seriously. This is especially important when something is in its initial stages and hasn't reached any kind of popularity. Taurus' endorsement is extremely valuable to any person, movement, or issue.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20)
Geminis change the world by fully being a part of it. Geminis volunteer, they march, and when they're not working for change, they're being the good friend, spouse, child, and human.
Geminis connect with all kinds of people — they're friendly to strangers, bond with old people, and work with kids as Big Brothers or Big Sisters, foster parents, and will even give money to charities that help kids from all different socioeconomic statuses.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
Cancers change the world by focusing on those who are closest to them — their family and friends. They do best when they really connect with people face to face. Cancers are great at canvasing neighborhoods for a candidate that they believe in, environmental causes, and by being the room monitor at their children's school or coaching an after-school team.
They conserve water and electricity, and are diligent about reuse and recycle for they want to do what they can to ensure the world is still livable for their children's children.
LEO (July 23 - August 22)
Leos are natural leaders, so whatever cause they feel is important, they're able to get people to join their cause. Leos set an example by using alternative forms of transportation, buying locally, and having a gift for looking at the bright side of things and convincing people that things aren't as terrible as they may seem.
Leos are fighters, and that fighting spirit is intensified when the cause is something they feel strongly about. They want a positive change.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22)
Virgos use their big brains to help change the world. Virgos are the ones who figure out the science behind the issues and they come up with solutions. Virgos work hard to fix things, even when it seems as if they're irrevocably broken.
They make sure that the foundation for change is sturdy and they will work intensely for the causes they believe in. Virgos are social justice warriors and it isn't part of their personality to just sit back and let others fight.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
Libras can't tolerate things like racism, prejudice, injustice, and misogynist attitudes and behaviors — basically anything that is unfair or unjust. They'll stand up for those who don't have a voice, and alongside those who do.
They're supportive advocates, and they will keep a positive attitude even when they're exhausted and starting to feel defeated. They work so that everyone has the respect they deserve and is treated with decency and humanity.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21)
Scorpios are extremely present, and they pay attention to what's happening around them and in the world. They believe that everyone should know what is going on and they're fanatical about the truth. They use their skills to illuminate issues, and once the word is out, Scorpio will do whatever needs to be done.
They march, they volunteer, and donate to charity. There is no one thing that Scorpio does because they're intuitive enough to know that things change all the time, so they create a positive change by doing many things all the time.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
Sagittarians want to change the world by learning all they can about it and by working to show the similarities between people, not the differences. They're also very interested in helping the environment and making sure nature isn't completely obliterated by climate change, pollution, and people who abuse it.
Sagittarius will take on unpopular causes, even if it puts them in a bad light, because they're passionate about the things that they believe in.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19)
It's the little things that Capricorns do that cause the biggest changes. They pay things forward because they know how life-changing it can be to get a boost when you most need it. They give to charity and when they dedicate themselves to a cause, they will focus all their energy towards making a great change. P
eople trust Capricorns, so when this zodiac sign is advocating for someone or something, people will start to take notice. One thing about Capricorns: they're determined. And when they want a positive change to come about, they will do whatever needs to be done so there are results.
AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
Aquarians are one of the most dedicated of the zodiac signs. They use their immense creativity and brainpower to help bring about positive change. They will work just as hard for animal and environmental causes as they will for humanitarian ones.
Some of their methods may be controversial or progressive, but sometimes one must be bold to get people to become aware of a problem. Aquarians may push the limits but it's only to bring about the greatest change.
PISCES (February 19 - March 20)
Pisces imagine the world as a better place and do what they can to help make it happen. Pisces doesn't need to be in the spotlight to bring about change — they're fine with supporting others. They're especially sensitive regarding homeless causes, battered women, children, and animals.
They're extremely sensitive, and if they didn't do something to help change the world, they wouldn't be able to live with themselves. Because of their creative gifts, they're often able to come up with unique solutions to problematic situations.
