Capricorn, Aquarius, & Pisces: Which is the Superior Winter Sign?
Each astrological sign has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and some astrologists would argue that all are equal. We disagree. Some signs are simply easier to handle, and have more desirable traits than other signs. Some weaknesses may he detrimental to success, while some strengths may guarantee it.

Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces are all winter signs. Capricorn is an Earth sign, Aquarius an air sign, and Pisces a water sign. The fire element is the only element not represented in the winter months, which makes sense—their fiery nature has no home in the coldness of winter!

As of 1890, children born on December 22nd (the second day of winter!) are born under the sign of Capricorn. Capricorns are known for their headstrong nature, business acumen, and their perceived cold-hearted ways to handling conflicts. Like all Earth signs, they're considered to be grounded, appreciate stability, and stubborn. Children born on January 20th of 1891 will find themselves born in the sign of Aquarius, which by all means is considered the most unconventional of the signs. Aquariuses are often said to march to the beat of their own drum, and their unique or progressive ways may conflict with society's traditions at times. At the core they are an individualistic, intellectual, and idealistic sign, and are some of the greatest thinkers in the zodiac. Finally, children born on February 22nd of 1891 through March 20th will fall under the sign of Pisces. A water sign through and through, Pisces are known for their empathy and ability to tune into the world around them. They are the creatives of the zodiac, and are often known by their kind hearts and gentle demeanors.

What society members were born under each sign?

Evander Darrow, born on January 20th, was born in a year when his birthday fell under the sign of Capricorn—and wouldn't you know it! Mr. Darrow is known for his committed, dutiful ways; he took in his orphaned niece at the beginning of the year, and is the responsible counterpart to his brother, Mr. J. Alfred Darrow. He leads the Improper Use of Magic Office, an office suited to any Capricorn concerned with adhering to the rules and traditions of the magical world.

Samuel St.John-Black, American liaison to the British ministry but better known as the scorned fiancé of the now Mrs. Reuben Crouch is, unpredictably, an Aquarius. Despite his job, which is best-suited for a Capricorn, we think, Mr. St.John-Black is best characterized as a stoic, patient, inscrutable person who is set in his own ways. While not the best example of the sign, he is a good example of how Aquariuses are their own unique people.

Mrs. Ophelia Devine, born in mid-March, is a Pisces. While she may be seen as a shallow socialite upon first glance, sources say that her true Pisces shines through when she grows to care about someone. She gets easily invested in the lives of others, which may be a good reason for her shallow mask. Surely if she became invested in every person she met she would be faced with disappointment!

So which sign is best?

Although we cannot guarantee that each and every person born under the sign is a gem of a person, we at Witch Weekly have agreed that Capricorn is surely the superior winter sign. Their ambitious, grounded, steadfast ways make the most reliable husbands, and their dutifulness makes them the perfect wives. As a caveat: those born under air or fire signs may not agree with our evaluations, as Capricorns are said to best get on with those born under water or other Earth signs! Still, whether choosing a business partner, a mentor, or even a husband, everyone should always consider the Capricorn.

Mrs. Ophelia Devine—an expert at hiding her inner Pisces?

Mr. St.John-Black—an awful Aquarius? Or merely a good example of their individualism?
