Stuff and nonsense

Back to normality

Thank you everyone who sent well wishes to my girl, she went to school this morning and promptly called me up to complain that it was ‘No uniform day’ and she was wearing uniform!!!

She is definitely back to her usual self. *smile*

Me Aquarian, hear me POUR!!!! (aka boring Astrology stuff)

I can totally understand if people have no faith in the whole star sign stuff, it does seem a bit loopy, so when people say ‘I don’t actually believe in that stuff’ I will say, ok, yeah, I can understand that. I just get a bit irked at those type of people who near enough call you stupid for believing in it as if they are somehow being ‘plain speaking’ when in fact they are just being rude.

Anyway, for the record when I mean Astrology I don’t mean checking Mystic Meg in the daily paper, being told that ‘Aquarians are going to be having a stressful day but by the evening a phone call will ease all your fears’ Is NOT worth the typeface it is written with.

I mean the complex system of Suns signs, Moon signs, rising signs, ascendant and descendants and all that stuff that I can hardly understand the process of but the results explain my personality to a T.

Not that I live my life around it, when I am going through a particularly stressful time I do check what is happening, or I will ask my mum and she can decipher the different coloured lines and connections that make little sense to me.

I like my Birth chart, its crisscrossing lines create a well balanced diamond-shape on the page, my daughters chart looks like a boat, not so balanced, I recall my mother saying that if your birthchart is overwhelmingly one sided like that it reflects your personality in some way, I think she is out of balanced, my daughter is all instinct and little logic so it makes sense that she is out of balance.

The saddest birth chart I have ever seen is my late Aunts’, just a small squiggle of a line, reflecting her short and unfortunate life, the second saddest one is an ex boyfriend of mine, his is almost as tragic looking and since he is an alcoholic now, well, it doesn’t bear thinking about.

My sun sign is Aquarius, it is an Air sign, my rising sign is Virgo, it is earth and my moon is the fiery Leo, I am lacking water, perhaps that is why I was born amongst all the watery females (Scorpio Mother, Pisces Sister and Cancerian best friend, my daughter was supposed to be a Sagittarius but came 10 days earlier than expected and is therefore, also a Scorpio) you could say that they all keep me in touch with my emotions, Water rules the emotions and seeing that my dominant signs could make me lose touch with reality I think that is a good thing, huzzah for the water signs!!!!

So why is Aquarius, an air sign which rules the mind (and being Aquarian, the mind is always a bit loopy, Mozart was an Aquarian as is Alice Cooper, I rest my case!!) symbol of the Water bearer? Goodness knows, according to famed 70’s astrologer Linda Goodman, it is to characterise the fact that Aquarians are not easy to understand, they can seem so changeable and eclectic, she said that our emotions are ruled by the lightening on our ruling planet Uranus (stop sniggering you in the back) and therefore we can be very calm up until the moment when the lightening strikes and then it gets frightening!!

Hehe, I must admit that is more like me than anything; I am very, very slow to anger, even when people think I am angry I am just usually just mildly irritated.
I have sometimes had people apologise to me saying ‘I am sorry that you were angry’ and I am like, ‘eh? When’? Because they interpreted my slightly vexed expression as anger, I don’t like to enlighten people though, it spoils my reputation and I especially like keeping those people at work on their toes but they have never seen me angry and to imitate a big green man (no, not the Jolly Green Birds eye giant) ‘You wouldn’t like me when I am angry’. ;o))

When it comes to relationships I don’t usually take it into account (with one exception) but I do seem to be more drawn to other air signs. I get along less well with the Earth signs, I find the fire signs exciting and been friends with lots of Water signs. I once had a profile telling Capricorn men to keep away from me, it was a very funny profile but I have forgotten what the actual text was now, needless to say I get along with one Capricorn male, he and his boyfriend even came to visit me a little while ago, not sure I could date him though…ermmm again…..
