"Barren sign In astrology, a barren sign is a sign of the Zodiac that, according to ancient astrological tradition, is not likely to possess strong powers of procreation, i.e. they are ""barren"". The signs most associated with infertility are Gemini, Leo, and Virgo. In addition, Aries, Sagittarius, and Aquarius are also believed to quite often have problems in matters of reproduction and are therefore considered ""semi-barren"". William Lilly (1647) in CHAPTER CXVIII of his book ""Christian Astrology"" described the signs as follows: Aries: By reason Mars, a sterill planet hath that for his house, and the Sun for Exaltation, is"
