The role your zodiac sign's shadow side plays into your romantic relationships. First introduced by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung, the shadow self refers to those aspects of ourselves we're not keen to have others know about and would rather turn away from or hide—or keep in the shadows, if you will.

In astrology, the shadow concept is no different. Each zodiac archetype is accompanied by both strengths (light qualities) and weaknesses (dark or shadow qualities)—and typically, the former can actually become the latter when they're taken too far or misconstrued.

The planets and signs of Venus, Taurus, Libra, Neptune, and Pisces especially speak to an affinity (if not talent) for creative works (e.g., the arts).

Pluto line: Many people fear the Pluto line, because it represents death and rebirth. But it's also a planet of extreme transformation, so it's the perfect place to go if you need to shake things up and come out a new person. Chiron line: Dubinet describes the asteroid Chiron as the wounded healer.
