(#11) Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)
Although sometimes temperamental and aloof, Aquarius is also the most progressive of the zodiac signs. As a highly intellectual member of the zodiac, Aquarius focuses most of their energy on humanitarian efforts. They can't stand to see injustice or mistreatment. To fight the evil that takes place in the world, Aquarius dedicates their time to helping others and creating lasting change. They would fit most comfortably in the historical Victorian Era.
Taking place almost in conjunction with the First Industrial Revolution, the Victorian Era marked the reign of England’s Queen Victoria from 1837 until 1901. While the Industrial Revolution brought changes in industry, the Victorian Era focused on political and social reform. The British Empire abolished slavery, the people called for a more democratic sytem of government, and the government used a firmer hand in controlling the activity of its citizens. While the era saw a rise in technological advancements, the humanitarian reforms focused on creating a better quality of life for British citizens.
Aquarius would fit right in with the Victorian Era. A sign with a gentle heart and a desire to fight for what's right, Aquarius would relish the opportunity to make real and lasting change.

(#8) Scorpio (October 23 - November 21): The Scientific Revolution
Scorpio is perhaps one of the most difficult zodiac signs to understand. Emotional and passionate, this Water sign hides all their feelings under a calm and aloof demeanor. Although you can never predict their next move, one aspect of their personality stands out - they're a research-driven sign. With a tendency to be suspicious and distrustful, Scorpio won't believe anything unless they have hard evidence that backs up a claim. Simultaneously resourceful and stubborn, you can count on Scorpio to have all the information you're looking for.
When it comes to historical time periods, Scorpio is definitely the Scientific Revolution. In the 16th and 17th centuries, there was a huge shift in scientific thought. Instead of the abstract logic of earlier periods, the Scientific Revolution stressed common sense and structured thought. It was during this time the first scientific method was invented. People chose to focus on quantitative facts and questions that could actually be answered, rather than philosophical theories that could have a variety of responses. The discipline of science rose in popularity, leading to a utilitarian viewpoint that dominated the world during that time.
While Scorpio certainly has strong emotions, they also believe every question has an answer. They will research until they find out the truth of a situation, using their decisive, rational point of view to find a solution. Their mindset perfectly fits with the analytical nature of the Scientific Revolution.

(#12) Pisces (February 19 - March 20)
Another Water sign, Pisces is emotional and gentle. They’re acknowledged for being selfless and empathetic, but they're also known for their artistic abilities. Pisceans are thoughtful people and they love finding new ways to express themselves, whether through music, art, or anything else that emphasizes their talents. Pisces would be most at home in the Renaissance era.
Following the Middle Ages, the Renaissance marks the period from the 14th century to the 17th century. It was a time focused on artistic, cultural, political, and economic reform. Great thinkers and artists, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Hobbes, Dante, William Shakespeare, Donatello, and Michelangelo, dominated this time period. It was an era of art, self-expression, and significant advancements across all areas of society. Most importantly, it embraced the idea of focusing on the individual human and honoring their achievements in many forms.
Much like the Renaissance, Pisces focuses on the value of the individual. Pisces sees each person as their own being worthy of love and support. They have a special appreciation for art and self-expression that not all zodiac signs can relate to. Pisces would thrive in the creative energy of the Renaissance.

(#6) Virgo (August 23 - September 22)
There's no zodiac sign quite as analytical and practical as Virgo. Methodical in every detail of their life, Virgos will examine and reexamine everything they touch about a million times simply to ensure they didn't mess up a tiny detail. While they have a soft heart, they much prefer to ignore their innermost feelings in favor of a sensible, realistic approach to the world.
Virgo is definitely the Age of Enlightenment. Starting in the late 17th century and ending in the early 19th century, Enlightenment, also known as the Age of Reason, focused on rational thought above all else. Enlightenment thinkers questioned the systems that had been in place for years, and argued that progress could be made most successfully through the application of reason and logic. While Enlightenment took different forms in different areas of the world, each Enlightenment movement focused on questioning the world and its established traditions, analyzing the efficacy of accepted systems, and applying reason to find improved solutions.
Enlightenment and Virgo are practically one and the same. Both appreciate a methodical, well-structured approach to the world. Both believe that everything can be solved through intellect and reason. Both have a tendency to get too caught up in the details, often missing the larger picture in favor of trivial facts. There's no other historical time period that captures the essence of a Virgo quite so well.

(#10) Capricorn (December 22 - January 19): The First Industrial Revolution
Unlike other signs who focus on emotion and feeling, Capricorn is all about discipline and progress. Career dreams and professional advancement drive the ambitious Capricorn. They focus on moving forward and using their practicality to pursue their goals. They're very responsible and think they know best, often refusing to listen to other perspectives. While they're traditional and polite, progress and improvement are their primary goals, often above relationships and emotional needs.
If Capricorn were a historical time period, they would definitely be the First Industrial Revolution. Marking the second half of the 18th century, this movement saw a rise in innovation. Products that were once made by hand were now created by machine. While the technological advancements were impressive, the new birth of industry changed the landscape of many rural towns into thriving urban communities. The slow and steady life that many were used to transformed into a fast-paced environment focused on results.
Capricorn would thrive in the First Industrial Revolution. A sign focused on progress and improvement, Capricorn would relish the opportunity to pursue professional advancement and live a fast-paced life. Capricorns aren't meant to exist in small, rural towns. The busy, chaotic environment of the First Industrial Revolution would be a welcome change for them.

(#4) Cancer (June 21 - July 22)
Cancer is certainly one of the most emotional zodiac signs. Always looking inward to find the answers, Cancer thinks that a person's innermost thoughts and feelings are of the utmost importance. Although they're often too willing to give in to every emotion as they feel it, leading to some moodiness and selfish behavior, Cancer's focus on their inner emotional patterns gives them an ability to empathize with the suffering of those around them. Everything is about emotion for Cancer, though they'll often hide their soft inside under their hard outer shell.
Cancer is definitely the Romantic era. Also known as Romanticism, this time period stretched from the late 18th century to the middle of the 19th century. Moving away from the prior focus on rational, provable behavior, Romanticism reignited a passion for the individual. In literature, painting, music, architecture, art, and many other forms, people began to emphasize a person's innermost thoughts and feelings - the things that can't always be discussed through logic. Emotion took the place of intellect, and the inner struggle was examined once again, in all its forms.
Cancer is practically the embodiment of the Romantic era. A sign that values feeling over fact, Cancer embraces the ability to focus on their feelings and ignore all sense of logic and reason. While letting your feelings run wild isn't the smartest option all the time, Cancers would certainly thrive in the Romantic era.
