Hands up to the Sky with Astrology

Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Carmen Turner-Schott, author of the new Sun Signs, Houses & Healing.

Carmen Turner-SchottIt was twenty-five years ago when I started working with victims of trauma. Throughout the years, I realized that within each individual there are personality traits that help them overcome the most tragic life experiences.

Every sun sign is born with resilient traits. Resiliency is the ability to bounce back stronger after life knocks us down. When we experience abuse, the death of a loved one, heartbreak, divorce, career problems, or health issues, we face uncomfortable emotions. Change and transformation help us grow. There is a fire that burns inside each person and the sun sign personality sheds light on those gifts.

Sun Sign Resiliency
Aries: Independent, passionate, and enthusiastic, nothing keeps Arians down for long. They are the most resilient sign because they have the strength to move on quickly. Self-centered traits actually help them overcome many challenges.

Taurus: Strong-willed, practical, and persistent, Taureans overcome challenges by being patient. They are resilient when they utilize their calm and stable energy. Releasing the past and overcoming stagnant emotions inspires resiliency.

Gemini: Natural communicators, intellectual and sociable Geminis are mentally strong and are able to think through and analyze problems. Intellectualizing emotions and humor help them bounce back fast.

Cancer: Natural caregivers, protective and caring Cancerians are able to withdraw into their inner self to find strength. Using their intuition helps them find answers. Pushing forward comes easily when they feel needed. Taking care of their own needs bolsters resilience.

Leo: Charming, playful, and self-assured, Leos are natural leaders and strong individuals. Strength comes when they can have fun, focus on the positive, and get their mind off their problems. They use their courage and confidence to become more resilient.

Virgo: Perfectionistic, observant, and efficient, Virgos like to see results. They overcome challenges by keeping busy and taking care of others. Making to-do lists and controlling worry and anxiety helps them become resilient.

Libra: Artistic, social, and diplomatic, Libras need companionship. Having harmonious, peaceful, and supportive relationships makes them strong. Being content not being in a relationship builds resilience.

Scorpio: Intense, secretive, and deep, Scorpios are phoenixes. They overcome challenges by forgiving others and cutting ties with the past. Tapping into their emotional strength brings resilience.

Sagittarius: Philosophical and adventurous Sagittarians are optimistic. Seeing the positive side of situations helps them overcome difficulties. They adapt easily to the unexpected and their faith makes them resilient.

Capricorn: Responsible, hardworking, and ambitious, Capricorns are loyal and dependable. Their practical nature helps them overcome emotional challenges. Controlling pessimistic tendencies helps them find resiliency.

Aquarius: Independent, original, and intelligent, Aquarians are freedom-loving. They enjoy coming up with new ideas and are innovative. An ability to detach from emotions helps them solve problems.

Pisces: Idealistic, emotional, and compassionate, Pisceans are self-sacrificing. They overcome challenges by developing boundaries and making time for solitude. Finding a spiritual path brings greater resilience.
