Gemini

I like Geminis. I would never want to marry one but I love to talk to them. I'm sure it's because we share a ruling planet, Mercury. Virgo thought processes are a little more straight line than Gemini, but Gemini is very quick and very ingenious. They are also a lot more outgoing than the bookish Virgo. Most of the Geminis I have met have had two distinct sides or personalities, which is one of the reasons I would never want to marry one!! I also have seen a bipolar type personality in some. They aren't necessarily bipolar but they swing wildly between a manic and depressive or angry state. One of my mentors was a Gemini sun. She was very supportive of me and my art and even commissioned me for numerous projects. She drove me nuts! I loved her to death but she drove me nuts, a bit of a micro manager, she wanted her fingers in everything! She was always happy with the finished product but I was always a few handfuls of hair balder by the time I finished, vowing never to do THAT again. Of course, she always had a way of approaching a new project and I always was inclined to accept. That would be the way of a Gemini!!

Taurus

Okay, I'm a Virgo so I generally get along quite swimmingly with fellow earth types. I love Taureans, both men and women. They are earthy and probably the funniest of the earth signs. They love to have fun, sometimes their morals may be a little looser than Virgo or Capricorn but they are still Earth signs and therefore pretty moralistic. Let's face it they have their feet on the ground and know right from wrong. Now that said, being ruled by lovely Venus, they may like to spend money for lovely things. There may be problems with money depending on what else shows in their charts although I find it more typical of Taurus rising (of course, it is possible for Taurus folks to be quite good with money and have a fabulous money chart, you always have to look at the whole but if there is an indication of being a spendthrift, it probably has a lot to do with desires) They can be very hedonistic, and love to eat. They may even have the tummy to show for it! They are a friendly lot and I wouldn't give them up as friends EVER! Loyal until the end, they are fixed signs and generally want to share the good life with those they love.

Aries

Okay, before I ruffle any tail feathers, I have Libra rising in my chart and therefore I have Aries on my 7th house cusp (open enemies) and a love/hate relationship with Aries. I love Aries men and Aries women....? Let's just say I could live without them.

I am a firm believer that some signs are easier for some people than others. Aries is such a strongly masculine sign that I believe it is just harder for the well balanced Aries woman to exist compared to the well balanced Aries Man. The same philosophy works for Pisces. Pisces women are typically better adjusted (read less neurotic or damaged or even more accepted for their frailty) than Pisces men. That said, Aries is a very self oriented sign, I don't know if I would call it self centered, but the world does revolve around them. It is the first sign of the zodiac and therefore it knows no other way but to be number one. That mindset in itself is one of their greatest strengths and weaknesses. A strength because it imbues the person with an inner confidence. A weakness because the person sometimes has the inability to be empathetic and therefore forge meaningful relationships. They may have trouble putting others first even when it's necessary. I think this is another area where it may benefit a man more than a woman. Aries is generally a very action oriented sign, They like to go out into the world and have it experience them (yes, I meant to say that) They care less about what they may do for the world, than what the world may offer them. Again, I wouldn't say they are necessarily selfish although many other signs might see it that way. It is their innocence when it comes to experiencing others. You really have to look at the manifestation of Aries from the point of view of a newborn infant. They need others but as a newborn needs constant parental care so does the Aries ego. In order for their confidence to blossom and mature they need to be surrounded by those who see how fabulous they are. They need to be center, they need adulation.

Sun Signs

I apologize for a lack of posts! I have been working on my two craft businesses preparing for the holiday season and a craft show in early December so I've been a bit preoccupied with that! That and each of us in our household have fought off a wicked cold in the past 3 weeks(my baby boy's first cold in his 15 months! Poor baby!) Of course, I have also been addicted to election coverage and glued to the TV! Now that the colds are gone, election is over and I have a good grasp on my crafting, I hope to add posts on a more regular basis. I still want to delineate two more children's charts using the lessons but in the meantime I will start posting little blurbs of observations on the sun signs. Thanks for your patience!
