These are The Gifts From The Gods To Each Zodiac Sign
It was believed that Zeus, the king of all gods and goddesses, bestowed a gift, a unique power that could help them in their lives, upon every human being.
As a result, the king of Olympus blessed each of the zodiac signs with their own unique gifts. It is said that Zeus has such a deep love for people that he is constantly looking for new ways to assist them on their journey.
The Myth behind each Zodiac Sign
There is a story that serves as the foundation for the history of the 12 zodiac signs. This fascinating myth was either made up or assigned to each zodiac sign in order to represent the real qualities that enrich those who are born under them.
This is how the ancient Greeks explained how the gods and goddesses bestowed a divine gift upon every human to assist them in navigating this life.
This can be viewed as both a blessing and a curse in some respects. You have to accept the gift, but also learn how to develop through it.
A blessing can sometimes turn into a curse. An important lesson that teaches us that we should always try to learn more and live our lives with dignity and respect for those around us. Read on to find out your gift:
Aries – Honor
The myth of this zodiac sign:
The story of the Fleece of the Golden Aries, which is said to be older than time itself, is associated with this sign.
According to ancient historians, Jason and the Argonauts embarked on a long journey fraught with a multitude of challenges in order to recover the Fleece of the Golden Ram, which had been hidden and kept in a mysterious land far away.
Jason never loses faith, and he always finds a way to achieve success through teamwork while “sacrificing” himself for the greater good.
As a token of his gratitude, honors Jason by transforming the Golden Fleece into a bright constellation. Honor is the gif that the gods have given Aries.
Enthusiasm and, at times, “blind” faith are the compass points for you. A voice keeps telling them that everything will be fine. It's belief, not optimism.
That implies he trusts the gods, which is why they are honored by them. Even if they don't get to enjoy the fruits of their work, their creative nature won't let them stop transforming the soil into a green, fragrant garden.
Taurus – Power
The myth of this zodiac sign:
The legend of the hero Theseus inspired Taurus' story. He volunteered to be the one sacrificed to the gods.
Every year a young person from this city was chosen to be eaten by a terrible monster, the Minotaur.
The child, who was probably a teenager at this point, was dragged into the labyrinth where the monster was hiding.
The child will never find his/her way out of this labyrinth, and the minotaur will feast on his/her young flesh. Theseus kills the monster and also escapes from the maze that he was in.
The gods gave Taurus the gift of power. If they truly desire something, they will find a way to get it regardless of the circumstances. The source of their power is within, in their own hearts, and they must embrace it.
Love is the only force that can overcome any obstacle and their hearts long for love. The gods gave them incredible power.
Gemini – Communication
The myth of this zodiac sign:
The story of the Dioscuri, the twin brothers who volunteered to help Jason and the Argonauts in their search for the Golden Fleece, is what inspired Gemini's story.
They truly loved one another, and together they made an amazing team. However, Castor was murdered, and Pollux was heartbroken.
In awe of the love that these two brothers shared for one another, Zeus invited the living twin, Pollux, to join him and the other gods on Mount Olympus.
Pollux politely declined, so Zeus made a plan to make sure that they could spend eternity together by turning them into two bright stars.
Communication is Gemini's gift from the gods. Their ability to gather and refine information is so great that nothing can stop them from succeeding.
You can join any social group and share valuable information with interesting people. Geminis are the kings of information and communication.
Cancer – Faithfulness
The myth of this zodiac sign:
Cancer's story was inspired by the legend of Hercules. Hercules was called upon to defeat the Lernaia Hydra, a scary snake monster with multiple heads.
Hera, the all-powerful queen of gods, felt betrayed by Zeus when he made Hercules. She then summoned the king of crabs (Cancer) in order to help the Hydra kill Hercules.
Hercules crushed the crab to death with his foot. However, Hera decided to honor the king of crabs and made him a huge bright constellation.
Loyalty is Cancer's special gift from the gods. They have an unwavering commitment to their friends, family, and their values.
This sign does its best to help others. That loyalty can be blind at times, and they could end up getting hurt, but they will always eventually be rewarded for their perseverance.
Leo – Pride
The myth of this zodiac sign:
Leo gets its story from the legend of Hercules' first work. It was capturing and executing the Nemean lion that had been terrorizing the locals.
Hercules was successful in getting rid of this ferocious beast. He skinned the lion and put a cloak on it. This impenetrable fur kept Hercules safe from blades and arrows.
Pride is the gods' gift to Leo. The fur of the mighty lion beast symbolizes its pride. This cloak is of royal origin, however, it's only a cloak. Our pride should come from within, not from the outside.
Virgo – Adaptability
The myth of this zodiac sign:
The myth of Persephone was what inspired Virgo's story. She was born to the great earth goddess Demeter. Persephone was kidnapped by Hades, the god of the underworld, and the two were married.
Demeter was so distraught that she asked Zeus to bring her back. Zeus, Hades, and Demeter decided that Persephone should remain on Earth for six months and in the underworld for the remaining six months.
Adaptability is Virgo's divinely bestowed gift from the gods.
Persephone, the queen of the underworld and Hades' wife, spends half of each year on Earth and the other half in the underworld.
This demonstrates how adaptable Virgo is. Even if you send them to the underworld, you can find a way for them to maintain their status as queens.
You are going to be successful despite the fact that it is not an easy task. Nevertheless, they should never forget who they are and not lose sight of their higher purpose.
Libra – Justice
The myth of this zodiac sign:
The goddess of justice, Themis, or her daughter, Dyke, who was one of the three Graces, the embodiment of good judgment, is said to have inspired Libra's story.
Libra symbolizes karma, which is always the balanced effect of each of our deeds. Justice is Libra's gift from the gods.
Those born under this sign have a natural tendency to judge others fairly but judge themselves unfairly. They are very strict with themselves. That is probably why they are such good judges for others.
Because of this incredible ability, they have everything needed to understand how society functions and to advance their goals.
Scorpio – Passion
The myth of this zodiac sign:
The legend of Orion, the most skilled hunter, inspired Scorpio's story. He accidentally seized the sigh of 7 beautiful nymphs, daughters of Atlas and Pleione, the Pleiades.
He was hypnotized by their attractiveness, and he immediately started to chase after them. After that, they asked Gaia, the primordial goddess of the earth, to help them.
Gaia's swift response reflected her anger at the fact that Orion, this great hunter continued to hunt her beautiful animals.
She sent a massive and poisonous scorpion that immediately stung Orion, resulting in his death. They all become bright stars, Orion, Scorpio, and the Pleiades.
Passion is the gods' gift to Scorpio. This sign is very in touch with their instinctive selves, which allows them to “hunt” and pursue anything that piques their interest.
On the other hand, Scorpio reminds us that while our instincts are helpful, they can also poison and kill us.
Sagittarius – Luck
The myth of this zodiac sign:
The wonderful legend of the King of the Centaurs, wondrous and powerful creatures that are half human and half horse, is what inspired Sagittarius' story.
This centaur was a descendant of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea. He was taught the arts of science, arts, and magic by Apollo and Artemis.
Even his students were of the highest caliber, them being Hercules and Jason. But unfortunately, Hercules once shot him in the back with a poisoned arrow by accident.
As a demigod, he was immortal. Luck is what the gods have gifted Sagittarius with. It is believed that Zeus himself blessed this sign, giving them everything they need when they need it.
The ancient Greeks did not consider death to be a bad thing; rather, they viewed it as merely an unavoidable stage along the path of life.
Moreover, this great centaur, Chiron, was blessed to have Poseidon as his father and Apollo with Artemis as his teachers. Good luck follows Sagittarius wherever he goes.
Capricorn – Success
The myth of this zodiac sign:
Capricorn's story was inspired by a lovely and faithful sea goddess, the goat nymph Amaltheia. She was charged by the goddess Rhea, who is Zeus's mother, to nurture and look after him.
Rhea hid baby Zeus from the public because she was afraid that her terrifying husband, Kronos, would kill the child. Amaltheia nourished Zeus with her rich milk and gave him lavender honey to eat.
After Zeus became the king of the gods, he made Amaltheia a bright constellation to serve as a constant reminder to everyone that one must often make sacrifices in order to make progress.
Success and abundance are Capricorn's blessings from the gods. That's not easy though. If we want to be successful, we must work hard and give it our all.
They believe that true success depends on hard work and sacrifice
Aquarius – Uniqueness
The myth of this zodiac sign:
Ganymedes, the handsome young prince, inspired Aquarius' story. He was so handsome that even Zeus couldn't resist his beauty and grace.
He sent his beloved eagle to fetch him and take him to Mount Olympus, where the Olympians lived.
Ganymedes held a special place in Zeus' heart so he entrusted him with the responsibility of pouring the cup of Zeus and the other gods, the drink of eternal youth, nectar.
Being unique is Aquarius' gift from the gods. Their peculiarity is quite interesting; it is almost as if they do not belong to the earth.
However, because of their uniqueness, they rarely feel like they belong on this Earth, which makes them feel isolated.
Pisces – Imagination
The myth of this zodiac sign:
The frightening story of a gigantic demon named Typhoon is what inspired Pisces' story. This monster chased after the Olympians, and in order to save themselves, the Olympians would turn into animals.
However, this didn't last long as Zeus defeated him. Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love, passion, and beauty, and her son Eros, the Greek god of love and passion, turned into two fish and swam in different directions when being chased by Typhoon.
Imagination is Pisces' gift from the gods. Those born under this sign are able to achieve their goals, just like Aphrodite and her son Eros did when they transformed into two fish.
They are able to create illusions, which makes them adorable. However, there is a distinction between fantasy and visualization. While the first can be self-defeating, the second can be truly creative.
They have both powers within. While sometimes their imagination can lead them astray, their vision usually helps them accomplish their goals.
