They behave a certain way, and their behavior is determined by a lot of things, including their families, environments and influences. In this regard, they aren’t able to act like their true zodiac sign, because each zodiac sign is characterized by its own set of characteristic traits.

Positive traits: True Aries people are headstrong and determined. They are driven towards a goal and nothing can deter them from their destination, no matter what it is, when they set their mind to it. They have a no-nonsense attitude, and like to get to the point immediately. When it comes to the matters of the heart, they however, don’t hold back on the romance and passion.
Negative traits: Even though Aries tend to be so headstrong, this can sometimes become arrogance and selfishness. They tend to think of their needs before others, which can isolate them. When they don’t get their way, they can become quite aggressive and throw a tantrum, so make sure you consciously avoid doing these things.

Negative traits: Perhaps this is a side-effect of being creative, but Gemini are also very fickle-minded. They are indecisive and unpredictable and can be difficult to handle when they get into a bad mood. They also lack insight into themselves because they are too busy imbibing the world outside, which makes them a little dazed and confused.
CANCER (June 21st – July 22nd)

They can also be over-sensitive sometimes and over-indulgent, without being able to tell the right decision from the indulgent one.
