Nurturing the seeds of creation

Still feeling creative here, with lots of Yuletide making going on. Creative energy manifests in many different ways as we travel the wheel of the zodiac. Looking at the sign on the cusp of the fifth house, as well as the sun and  moon signs can give us an idea of our unique creative self.

The fire signs are perhaps considered the most obviously creative, and are maybe most likely to see life in general as a creative process. For them the most important part of the creative process is the initial spark, the idea and the excitement it generates. Fiery people work quickly and like to see results fast, especially Aries who tend to jump right in to a project, no planning ahead or thinking through. Leo wants their creative efforts to be recognised, and often love drama, so are most likely to create with an audience in mind. Sagittarius is a seeker, searching for meaning and adventure. For them creating can be something that broadens the mind.

Earthy people like to create something tangible and useful. They thrive on steady hard work and are generally good at discipline - the earth in our chart helps us to show up each day and create even when we do not feel in the mood. However earthy types can get bogged down in routine, and may stick to the tried and tested rather than taking creative risks. Strongly earthy people are inspired by nature, especially Venus ruled Taurus who often express creativity through music and art. This is a practical creativity, especially for Virgo who often enjoy creating something useful rather than creating purely for the joy of the process. Virgo is the perfectionist of the zodiac, so they will take their time to get the end result just right. Capricorn is a sign often seen as lacking imagination, but they have an amazing capacity for hard work and will tackle an ambitious project without hesitation.

Airy people need to make connections,  and are most likely to be ideas and word focused. They need lots of stimulation, especially Gemini. Air signs may enjoy talking through their ideas with others, bring together lots of inputs. For them, knowledge, information and communication are creative. They are likely to be creative writers and thinkers, and are more likely to create something abstract like an idea or a theory than the other signs. Libra seeks to create harmony and beauty, and this is as likely to be between other people as it is to be a musical composition or a painting. Aquarians may want to use their creativity to benefit the community or even to make a political statement, so they might be craftivists or polemic writers.

Water signs need to allow imagination to flow. They are the most likely to be affected by feelings and for creativity to be triggered by emotion or mood. Writing poetry, dancing or playing a musical instrument can all be ways for watery people to explore and express their feelings. Cancer is the nourisher and nurturer of the zodiac, as likely to bake an amazing cake when the creative urge strikes as they are to paint a picture. Scorpio digs deep, and can use their creativity to express their deep truths, however uncomfortable or even confrontational others may find them. And Pisces is the sign most likely to see creating as something for which they are merely a channel, setting their self aside to access a flow of creativity which comes from spirit.
