(#9) Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)
While some signs are content to be homebodies, Sagittarius is the exact opposite. This sign aches to travel and explore. Sagittarians are free-thinking people with a fiercely independent streak. They don't like to be held down. Instead, they yearn to experience new things and satisfy their desire to explore. Very little scares this open-minded zodiac sign. As such, they would fit most perfectly in the historical Age of Exploration.
The Age of Exploration stretched from the mid-15th century to the mid-16th century. During this time, Europeans, who had primarily stayed within the small bounds of their world, were encouraged to explore the earth beyond their own continent. The Age of Exploration began with Christopher Columbus's voyage west. Although he believed that he found a quicker route to India, he actually landed on an entirely new continent. Other explorers followed in Columbus's footsteps, leading to a massive push West that saw European citizens touching down on never-before-seen lands. Though they had no idea what they would find, their sense of adventure encouraged them to give it a try, often without knowing when or if they would return home.
Who would understand this daring mindset better than a Sagittarius? Leaving home with no idea when they'll return is a deed this zodiac sign would embrace wholeheartedly. Beyond the excitement of setting out on a new trip, Sagittarius would welcome the independence of exploration in a way most zodiac signs wouldn't understand.
(#3) Gemini (May 21 - June 20)
Although Geminis are most often known for their two-sided personality, there's so much more to them. They definitely deal with a bit of moodiness, but they're generally sociable, excitable, and full of energy. They're desperate to explore the world around them. They often feel they don't have enough time to experience everything they want to see in their short life, so they're apt to have as much fun as possible, whenever they possibly can. What historical time period captures Geminis' fun and flirty nature? The Roaring '20s, of course.
An age of massive change in the United States, the 1920s saw people breaking out of their old molds and embracing a culture of celebration. Young women could finally vote, work, and participate in the economy, and the total wealth in the nation nearly doubled. With more money to spend, people brought new technology into their lives, particularly the radio and the automobile. They went out more, both to movie theaters and to clubs, where they danced the night away to the hottest jazz music. They ignored the prohibition of alcohol and drank in secret speakeasies, using their extra money to entertain themselves and engage with the people in their community.
The Roaring '20s was a time of curiosity and exploration. People were tired of doing the same old thing and finally felt that they had the freedom to explore the world around them to the best of their ability. Adaptable and fun-loving, Geminis would certainly fit right in to this time period.
(#2) Taurus (April 20 - May 20)
Taurus is a stable and reliable sign. While some would consider Taureans to be stubborn, others realize they're simply devoted to the task in front of them. They refuse to get distracted and will follow through on every task to its full conclusion. However, their dedicated nature also makes them inflexible and closed off to any kind of change. What better historical era to describe them than the steadfast Middle Ages?
Also known as the Medieval Period, the Middle Ages represent the time between the fall of the Roman Empire and the start of the Renaissance, stretching from about 476 CE to the 14th century. Sad as it sounds, it was an era that brought no significant advancements whatsoever, not in science, art, or leadership. In other words, it was a stable period of time, one in which the world remained fairly static. It certainly had its areas of complexity, such as the Crusades and the Great Plague, but in terms of actual progression and improvement, well, let's just say this wasn't the era for moving forward.
Much like the Middle Ages, Taureans' uncompromising nature makes it difficult for people born under this zodiac sign to grow. They want to enjoy the world around them and reap the benefits of their hard work, but they're often too stuck in their own ways to see the best way to move forward. While they're not as static as the Middle Ages, they certainly have some of this era inside of them.
(#1) Aries (March 21 - April 19)
Aries-born are aggressive and competitive. Unwilling to settle for anything less than first place, Aries is always looking to expand their influence and show off their many skills. They're all about action and will often move forward before they even consider their final destination.
If Aries could be explained through a historical time period, they would definitely be Ancient Rome. Beginning in the eighth century BCE and ending in the fifth century CE, the Ancient Roman period encompassed the rise of the Roman Empire, which grew from a small town on the Tiber into a power that spread across most of Europe, Britain, northern Africa, the Mediterranean islands, and western Asia. It was a time focused on expansion and the spread of Roman power, by any means necessary.
The aggressive and vicious nature of this era mimics Aries’s own desire to conquer their enemies. If they had the power, Aries would happily extend their influence everywhere and make it known that they're the best, despite what anyone else might think.
(#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.
(#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.
