It goes like this: When a trauma occurs, our bodies make a physiological change to better manage the stress. If our grandparents, for example, were traumatized from living in a war-torn country—explosions going off, people getting killed, the rattle of gunfire close by—they could pass on a survivor skill set to us—a body on hyper-alert, reflexes to react quickly to loud noises, and other such protective responses....

In my mid-20s, I was working as a marketing director at one of the biggest banks in Australia. I would spend all day working tirelessly at my job, then stay out late partying, rarely giving my body any kind of rest. I was fairly good at what I did, but I don’t think I ever loved it. Then, about three years into my career, one question kept popping into my head: “Is there more to life than this?...

According to the AstroTwins, this midseason placement makes these signs the “workhorses” of the zodiac that help get us through this season, whereas the cardinal signs get the ball rolling at the start of a season, and mutable signs are akin to the “editors” at the end. You can think of these four signs as the project managers, the twins say. They want to keep things organized, keep the momentum going, and take over an idea or project once a cardinal sign has passed it off to them, so to speak....
