Our emotions may be formed subconsciously, but we know what we feel when we feel it, making it conscious to us at a very personal level. Although we may not share these feelings as openly as we share our traits, our traits are where we intuitively go to find comfort, inner peace, childhood memories, or where the emotions of jealousy, rage, and hate reside in our psyche. The 's placement in our charts also influences other senses such as sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch. These are all connected directly to our subconscious memories. In a sense, our sign is very important in that it helps to make us different from everyone else within our sign.
