The Meaning Of Dolphins In Astrology And The Zodiac
Those who believe in primal astrology might know that there is a dolphin zodiac. Those under this sign are adaptable, lovable, playful, and active. They are curious and sociable people who are loved by most people. Some of the worst traits of the dolphin are their nervousness and can easily get overwhelmed by extension making them nervous.
They can find it tough to balance life, but when they are focused, they have the potential to be amazing as well as balanced. The issue comes when they second guess themselves and their own intelligence, this doubting nature, can cause certain things in their life to crumble. Dolphins can get too focused and burn out easily, which can make them resentful. Once again, the main issue with this sign is their difficulty finding balance.
On the flip side, the dolphin is very energetic and adapts to their surroundings easily. This helps them to feel confident even when they are having a tough time with something. Dolphins tend to have many projects going at the same time, this is because they get bored quite quickly and have something to move onto when they tire of one project in particular.
Those under this sign need fun in their lives, and cannot be truly happy if they are with someone that does not support this part of them. They are sociable people and are always looking for someone to hang out with, sometimes in larger groups and sometimes in smaller, more intimate groups.
Finding true love is tough for the dolphin, their attractive personalities mean that they have a lot of potential partners interested in them. Which is why they have a tendency to be quite promiscuous when they are young. Finding their soulmate can come later in life, this is because they try to hold onto their youth longer than many of their friends.
