One
way to get to know yourself better through
astrology is to ask which signs you tend
not to like, or have problems with. There
will always be something very important about
that sign which you are jealous of (usually
unconsciously) or have a personal difficulty
with. Astrology can help us take responsibility
for our own issues, rather than becoming
a convenient way to believe that the problem
is with "those darn Leo's" (insert your favorite
scapegoat)
1) Ask yourself which sign or signs you tend to not like
or have problems with. Read the characteristics given
for each sign and ask yourself which of those abilities are
things you need to work on. If you can develop these
capabilities yourself, you will find your attitude toward
that sign miraculously improved.
2) Read each sign, thinking of people you know who embody
those signs. Reflect on anything about those people
that you may have a hard time with and what that may say
about parts of yourself that could be developed.
