This is a write up I’ve wanted to compile for years, but never have. I’m actually glad I didn’t until now, only because I know more now. So this is going to be the full (small book…!) version, for anybody who’s interested in the subject of personality-based astrology, both Eastern and Western. Or even for those who think they’re not. There may be some things in here that people find interesting that they weren’t expecting, as the title alone indicates. And that definitely includes the skeptics, and those who feel their personality doesn’t fit their astrology. There may be some good reasons for that, which I’ll be getting into.
To clarify for those who aren’t familiar, Eastern astrology refers to the Asian calendar, with their twelve year cycles of “Year of the [whatever animal]” while Western refers to the traditional twelve sign zodiac of Tropical astrology (as opposed to the Sidereal system) that most everybody is familiar with to some extent. The majority of this write up will be dealing with the Western. But we will be getting into the Eastern, as well as numerological life path numbers as the title implies, because they’re also a crucial piece of the puzzle in terms of personality imprinting.

What’s important to note straight away is that I have zero formal training in astrology, which means I have no idea how to manually put together an astrological chart. But it’s okay since this write up isn’t meant to get into astrological charts. Rather, we’re going to be looking at the concept as a whole, with the main focus being personality profiling, and with specific “Matrix conspiratorial” reasons in mind.
What I do have though is an understanding of all the astrology signs, as well as years of experience observing the myriad of people that have crossed my path in this crazy life. (And what’s also helped is that I’ve worked as an administrative assistant/front desk receptionist at countless jobs around the country over the years….which has always given me access to employee birthday lists. Talk about a goldmine of astrological information to cross compare….) But since age fifteen I’ve been closely paying attention to anybody around me when they either tell me what their birthdays are, or I find out for myself somehow. Why? Because that’s when I became interested in the idea of astrology. Not the “daily/weekly/yearly predictions” aspect of it, but rather, the personality profile aspect of it. Whether people really are the same, or very similar, depending on what time of the year they were born. We’re being told this is the case, but…..is it?
The short answer? Hard yes.
Funny enough, right when I was finishing up this mini-book I synchronistically came across one of those anti-New Age vids on YouTube coming from a Christian religious standpoint, citing astrology specifically in the vid’s title as being this big negative thing that will apparently pull you down into some Satanic black hole. It made me chuckle, only because they obviously don’t realize what a lot of people realize about this entire deal. They’re likening the practice and study of astrology to the devil’s work, and something that goes against Jesus and God in some way, when meanwhile I’m looking at it all from a purely intellectual standpoint going, “ummm.….it’s……..the matrix…..…” Although in many ways this so-called “matrix” reality is kinda “the devil” I guess. ;)
So I don’t “practice astrology,” whatever that means, and I don’t live my life by it, “casting devil charts” and trying to predict the future. I’ve just noticed personality patterns. Though I will go on record saying that people being obsessed with the movement of celestial bodies and believing they’re connected to things happening on Earth doesn’t have anything to do with demons or something Satanic. There’s a lot worse things one can get into that will actually, truly open some negative doors. So those particular Christians’ viewpoints on it all is laughable to me. In a way they’re actually helping to play their major part in keeping people in the dark about “What This Place Really Is.” Of which astrology and numerology are actually clueing us into. Smart, aware people who take any time to really look into this subject will come away realizing that things are not what they seem to be in this world. But “stuff” doesn’t want people to have that realization, which is why it works overtime to feed us its finely crafted narrative from all angles, 24/7. It’s interesting though that matrix gatekeepers often take the form of the supposed “good guys that are just tryna protect you….”
The general gist of astrology for anybody who doesn’t know is this: Our personalities and destinies as a whole are supposedly determined by the movement of the celestial bodies. Each local celestial body, from the sun and moon, to all the planets in our solar system, is assigned something that it “governs,” be it an individual personality trait/characteristic, or an aspect of our overall life path/destiny. We’re told that the planet Mercury for instance governs “Communication” and how we go about expressing ourselves in general, among other things. Meanwhile each Zodiac constellation, aka, cluster of stars, has also been assigned personality traits and characteristics. Example: Libra, which as a whole represents balance and justice, is a sign that’s known overall for being equitable, pleasant, etc.
So if you were to turn it into an equation ;) it would be: Celestial bodies [and whatever they govern] + Their Zodiac constellation locations [and whatever they govern] = One’s personality traits/characteristics and/or overall life path. This seems to be a good link that breaks down what each celestial body is supposed to govern, for those who are interested,
At the time I was born, Mercury from our vantage point on Earth was located in the constellation Libra, which is why I used these two as examples above. Therefore, according to the principles of astrology, the way in which I go about expressing myself and communicating in general, both verbally and in the written word, would be influenced by Libra. Which means if things are accurate, then according to astrology the speaking voice should be pleasant, the way in which I interact with people in the everyday world would be diplomatic, smooth and pleasant in terms of how I approach them (versus short/brusque, loud and grating, rude and abrasive, stilted, awkward, inarticulate, etc.) the way in which I write should come off as balanced and pleasant/easy to read, and, it will also be coming from a cerebral/intellectual and more emotionally detached, masculine viewpoint, since Libra is a masculine, intellectual-based air sign, something we’ll definitely be getting back to later. (and years back I was repeatedly mistakenly guessed to be male in online communications due to my logical, matter–of-fact approach and straight forward style that didn’t mince words, or use the typical self-deprecating feminine approach of acting weak, apologetic and unsure about things I was saying.) And since all air signs in general are communication-oriented there should be that added harmonic bonus of me being fluid with both the spoken and written word, since the planet that governs communication was located within a constellation that already has a pre-existing strength with communication.
So that’s the gist. In the meantime do the same with all the other celestial bodies, and that’s what one’s “astrological chart” ultimately is. It’s just determining what constellations the various celestial bodies were located in at the time of one’s birth, because where they were all located is what supposedly determines our personality and overall life path. Supposedly. Though again….we’re going to revisit this important concept later with a vengeance.
And meanwhile when people talk about “what their sign is” in general, what they’re talking about is which constellation the sun was in at the time they were born. aka, your Sun Sign. Astrology puts ultimate importance on the sun’s location at one’s time of birth above all else.
Something that’s come up here and there on my Gab and on my website is the idea of having been able to pinpoint people’s sun signs with scary accuracy (as well as the moon sign) and sometimes within only ~30 seconds. This is only possible if people truly are manifesting “across-the-board” personality profiles. Not only that, but what I’ve come to independently discover is that astrology is often influencing how people look. (Something others have discovered as well.) Or at least….the time of the year when people are developing in the womb is affecting their looks, due to some sort of universal external influences that create the same results in multiple people. So people of the same sign – but definitely some people born on the same day – will often wind up with particular physical traits in common later in life, despite wildly differing genetics. An important piece of the puzzle that we’ll be touching on throughout this write up.
But how is any of this possible if the explanation for astrology is “constellations” as we’ve all been taught? aka, a bunch of random stars situated willy nilly in the universe at different distances/locations, but which “come together” from our vantage point on Earth to form “pictures” in our sky, according to our uniquely human interpretation…and which usually don’t actually look anything like the “picture” we’re told they’re supposed to represent. And especially when you factor in the precession of the equinoxes?
For those who don’t know, the precession of the equinoxes means that due to the wobble of the earth’s rotation the sky we’re currently looking at is not in the same position as when astrology was first developed/discovered thousands of years ago. The earth doesn’t just rotate around in a 24 period while simultaneously revolving around the sun….it’s also slowly engaging in an axis wobble, which takes just under 26,000 years to complete. As the earth engages in this slow wobble it means the sky above that humans are looking at changes with time. The constellation positions eventually shift, and this leads to the astrological ages that we’ve all heard about.
Everything in the sky has shifted over time due to this precession wobble. Which means none of us were actually born under the constellations that astrology is telling us. We’re now technically the sun sign that comes before whenever we’re born, because that’s where the sun was now located at our birth. Which means for instance I’m not really a sun sign Scorpio. I’m supposed to be Libra.
Using an astronomy program called Stellarium, we see that the sun last directly aligned within the constellation of Scorpio, at the midway point of Scorpio (November 7th, since Scorpio goes from 10/23 – 11/21) at the year 0 A.D. And the same goes for all the other constellations at their midway cycle points, as one sees when playing around with Stellarium. The sun was “physically located” so to speak within each constellation as a true alignment ~2,000 years ago.
And if you’re thinking “Gee, that’s a funny coincidence……..what are the odds that astrology aligned perfectly during the same year Jesus was supposed to have been born…….which is what most of the planet’s “year tracking” system is based on in the first place??” then you’re not alone. We’ll be getting back to that later on as well. Though you could safely put the direct alignments in the range of 500 B.C. – 500 A.D. The later you go in history however…..the further and further away the alignments get. Until by the time I was born 1,974 years later in the month of November, the sun was already well into Libra. Not Scorpio, as we’re told. But yet….I’m not a Libra. And the astute people who’ve accurately guessed, first try, aspects of my (apparently incorrect) astrological chart, proves that.
Additionally, any constellation that the moon and planets were located in at the time of my, and everybody else’s, birth should also be shifted back one sign. And yet, I’ve been able to accurately pinpoint other people’s (apparently incorrect) astrologies, down to their moon sign, sometimes in less than 30 seconds flat as mentioned. The fact that anybody can accurately guess anybody else’s configurations, based on the way the sky used to be ~2,000 years ago shows that we’re still manifesting the old energies. Or at least…..energies that have nothing to do with constellations, planets, moons, precessions, wobbles, or whatever explanation humans rely on.
So what’s really causing this manifestation of energies? That’s the million dollar question, which we drill down on at the end, and which yes, does tie directly into the “coincidental” 0 A.D. date. But the bottom line for us to start out with would be this: Constellations can’t be the cause, for the reasons just outlined, even though yes, we absolutely CAN pinpoint all kinds of things about a person’s personality and life path based on supposed constellation placements at one’s time of birth. Constellation placements at birth at best, is a front for the real explanations; and, not only that, but there are actually other explanations going on besides constellations, IMO, for what’s contributing to these same personality traits, life paths and even looks, but which are getting mixed up together. It’s a common issue in this world that I’ve touched on in other articles actually, just the way in which multiple, but separate things often get lumped together and attributed to the same one cause/source.
In addition to the personality profiles, and even physical looks matching up to people’s astrologies, I’ve also noticed undeniable proclivities with people choosing partners, or at least, being repeatedly attracted to, people who have the same astrologies in common. They clearly “have a type”…..and that type often boils down to when people were born, which can again, also affect what people look like. Something else that gives validity to the idea of astrology.
Sun Signs vs. Moon Signs
This thing called “the moon sign” was mentioned a few times now, which just means what constellation the moon was located in at the time of one’s birth, as newbies probably already deduced. However basic beginner astrology often mistakenly puts all the focus on the sun’s location, not realizing there’s a little more to it. We have the moon and we have the other planets as mentioned. And IMO the moon sign is the second biggest aspect to one’s astrological personality profile, which is why readers will see me mention it throughout this write up.
The other major aspect of one’s astrology that we always hear about includes what’s known as our “rising sign” The constellation that was rising on the horizon at the time we were born. In order to determine that however you need to know the specific time you were born, versus just the general date/location.
But all of which is where professional astrological chart readers come into play, people who’ve studied up on this for years. They know how to put together what your personalized chart is, and fully interpret the placement of everything in it just by knowing the date, time and location of where you were born. Skills that are way above my paygrade. So when determining people’s astrological placements I just use online computerized programs that can deduce much of the same information. (The big free go-to source I’ve used for years is Astro.Com From there I click on “Horoscopes” at the top left, and from there I click on “Personality” and then “Personal Portrait.” From there you just input your information. If you don’t know the time you were born though you’ll have to just make up a time in order to continue, because it won’t proceed without that information, but which means your rising sign won’t be accurate. So keep that in mind.) It doesn’t drill down on things like, “Oh, you have this whatever-whatever trine happening, which means this and that in terms of your life destiny….” but it provides all the basics.
In my astrology research I’ve seen that the sun sign supposedly represents the personality we show the world, our base ego core and drives. Whereas the moon is our true emotional state happening underneath everything. I have no idea if that has validity, but what I can say is that for me I sense “two main personality energies” going on with many people, running side by side almost equally. That’s why I put such an emphasis on guessing people’s moon signs as well as their sun. To not do so is to willfully ignore a huge chunk of the personality that’s loudly on display. IMO some people seem to be manifesting more of their moon sign than their sun. But this is why when I’m trying to narrow down my guesses it has often come down to two signs that I can’t make up my mind about…..and in multiple cases I wasn’t wrong. It was in fact, both. The person in question was whatever-whatever sun sign….and then whatever-whatever moon.
The other reason the moon sign – and the planetary placements in our charts – is important is because A) it can explain why skeptics often think they don’t align with their astrology. They’ve only been taught to focus on their “sun sign personality” with zero regard to the moon, and the entire rest of their chart, or even things like their Eastern astrology and numerology. And B) The moon and rest of the chart can often influence why people may get along great with signs they aren’t typically “supposed to” get along with. Or, why they may NOT be getting along with somebody they’re “supposed to.” It doesn’t necessarily mean astrology is wrong. It’s just that again….it ain’t all about the sun sign.
My sun sign may be Scorpio (with Mars and Venus also located in Scorpio) which is feminine Water, and which many would focus exclusively on. But I have Leo (masculine Fire) Rising. A Virgo (feminine Earth) moon. Mercury, Uranus and Pluto all clustered in Libra (masculine Air). Neptune in Sagittarius (masculine Fire). And then Jupiter in Pisces (feminine Water), and Saturn in Cancer (feminine Water). So there is an almost equal mix of the cerebral and fiery/action oriented masculine Air and Fire energies in major aspects of my chart, along with the feminine Water and Earth. And that’s not even counting the Chinese astrology – Year of the Tiger. An energetic, straight forward, fearless, strong, brave/daring, feisty/easily angered and adventure-oriented sign, which are also masculine traits. Then you factor in my numerology life path – which is a 5, all about energy, adventure, new experiences and stimulation. It means I haven’t always been drawn to and/or gelled well with people I “should,” according to basic, sun-focused astrology, and actually have gotten on really well with, and become friends with some people I probably “shouldn’t” have.
My process for determining people’s astrology
To explain how I’m accurately guessing people it’s important for any newbies to understand the rudimentary basics, so they could even start doing it for themselves. These fundamentals are what allow me to do the “drill down/process of elimination.” And it works, let me tell you, which means it’s not for nothing what I’m outlining here.
The astrological wheel is divided up into 12 signs, as most know, and from there it’s broken down into four elements, with three signs for each element. Earth (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) Air (Aquarius, Gemini, Libra) Fire (Leo, Sagittarius, Aries) and Water (Scorpio, Pisces, Cancer). The Earth and Water signs are all feminine. The Fire and Air signs are all masculine. And this is one of THE main keys to a lot of things, as I’ve learned.
It’s so much of a key in fact that when I’m attempting to guess somebody’s sign I usually start by looking at whether somebody is projecting a masculine or feminine energy. Keeping in mind Earth/Water for feminine, or Fire/Air for masculine. It’s important to not get hung up on what gender somebody actually is. It’s about what energy they’re projecting. And plenty of females project a masculine energy, while many males are projecting feminine, and all this despite their sexual orientations. (Think about guys that are referred to as whiny little bitches/sensitive little bitches, or chicks that are referred to as tough asses/ball breakers/dragon ladies, etc. That’s what I’m talking about.)
A lot of times though you can just tell by the face alone. It’s not even about the energy being projected. I’ve been able to repeatedly guess guys to be one of the feminine signs…..because their faces were round/soft and feminine, chubby cheeks, potato face-y, etc.…..or females to be one of the masculine signs……because their faces had a more masculine appearance, especially with the chin and jaw structure. Doesn’t mean every feminine sign guy has a round/soft and/or potato face or every masculine sign female is manifesting dude-ish traits in the face. But it’s enough of an undeniable thing, let’s just put it that way. I was recently rewatching the movie “The Devil’s Advocate,” and paused the movie to hop online to IMDB.com to look up the birthday info of the actor who played the pedophile/murderer/teacher named Lloyd Gettys. Rounded, soft, feminine face and creepy look in the eyes just jumped out at me as being “SCORPIO!” (Feminine Water sign.) And once again, as we’ll see throughout this write up….I was right. The actor Chris Bauer was born 10/28. The casting director did a great job picking him for that role. But it was obvious what his sign was immediately, first glance, once you’ve started actively noticing. Bare minimum I could tell he was a feminine sign from the facial structure. Then the eyes sealed the deal as being Scorpio. (In the Scorpio section we get way into the distinct “Scorpio Look.”) Same way I was able to immediately pinpoint that some famous conspiracy/truther I was seeing on BitChute named Tim Poole, of the TimCast podcast, is a feminine sign. Round, soft feminine face. Turns out he’s a March 9th Pisces.
So when I’m attempting to guess somebody’s sign, unless it’s just MASSIVELY obvious (and it has been for a few people, like screaming from a rooftops obvious, and I’ll be touching on some of those examples throughout) I next try to hone in on the general traits they’re displaying. Are they motivated by feelings/emotions, as well as being sensitive, creative/artistic and even intuitive/psychically inclined? (Water) Emotionally detached, maybe even cold, surface skimming/superficial/light, logical, cerebral and communication/verbal oriented? (Air) Energetic, feisty, maybe even combative/punchy, outgoing, take charge and action oriented? (Fire) Grounded, emotionally and energetically calm/leveled, “down to Earth” and motivated by pragmatism? (Earth)
Even though there’s three signs to each element with their own distinct traits, they all have aspects in common, which is why they’re grouped together in the first place, and why this works. Where the signs ultimately different from their “elemental brethren” is their level of personal power, and thus, their motivations.
This leads to the third aspect of how astrological signs are grouped, and the third thing I analyze about a person when trying to guess their sign: Fixed, Cardinal or Mutable. It’s equally as important as the general traits of each element, as well as the masculine vs. feminine components, and a vital part of being able to accurately pinpoint people’s astrology very quickly. Why? Because it determines the power level of a person, which is another telltale factor in being able to nail down somebody’s astrology in a short amount of time.
This is an astrological spreadsheet of sorts that I created that shows what I’m talking about:
For newbies, seeing it laid out this way will probably make more sense. Elements are broken down between Masculine and Feminine, each element contains three signs, as noted, and of those three signs one is always a Fixed, one is a Cardinal, and one is a Mutable.
The four Fixed signs would be Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio, and are the signs that land in the heart of each of the four seasons. For me, I’ve noticed that the Fixed signs of each element are what I’ve come to nickname the “Power Signs.” Whenever you see people in charge, leaders of some sort, supervisors, managers, department heads, or anybody being bossy ;) it’s often times somebody who belongs to one of these four signs. These four signs are so often the powerful, fixed, stubborn, determined, take charge managerial people of our world. Even if they don’t wind up becoming outright managers/CEOs/leaders, they’re the people in any group who stands up and takes charge when needed. Especially if they see that nobody else is willing. And that definitely includes for their own selves and lives. They’re what the corporate world likes to call “Self Starters.” They’re the ones offering up their ideas about what needs to change, and exactly how. And often times they’re just doing it without being asked. These are strong, ego-based signs. From what I’ve seen it would take a hell of a lot of life trauma to turn one of these four signs into somebody who just lays about, unwilling to take charge of their own situation, and unwilling to naturally jump in and try to control/manage others.
I’ve worked at multiple jobs where most all the powerful people in charge were almost exclusively divvied up amongst these four signs. It was wild. (save for Nepotism instances, where somebody is handed a position with no effort because it’s a family or friend run business. I’m talking about positions where it had to be truly earned on merit, so being a naturally take charge Power Sign Leader set them apart from everybody else. ) And the same thing when it’s come to regular employees at many of my past jobs who were being singled out in a positive way by bosses, due to their natural born leader dispositions and competency at “getting shit done,” and making things their responsibility to do and fix, which may not have even been their job, but which management noticed, and rewarded. But it was the same deal – not so coincidentally also distributed amongst those four signs. It really is a thing.
The four Cardinal signs (Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn) are the astrological signs that kick off the four seasons, but are also secondary leadership signs, which would be the best way to put it. Another undeniable pattern I’ve noticed in life. Leos for instance may be THE Fixed, power sign of the three Fire signs…..but energetic and rebellious Cardinal sign Aries gives Leo a run for its money. Cancer may be a feminine Water sign, but it’s a sign known for being tough and tenacious, which befits a leader; Libra, despite that tendency towards being pleasant and balanced, is also a masculine and intellectual-based Air sign, and another sign that will – quietly, and seemingly pleasantly – take over and lead, as we’ll also see. And meanwhile, the same goes for Caps, who can be known for being wise and mature beyond their years and often taking on responsibility at a very young age, acting like old people in a young body.
But while the four Cardinal signs are apt to come off as strong and competent like the Fixed signs, I’ve also seen that they’re more likely to cave in/defer to those who are stronger. As opposed to the Fixed signs, who can often be straight up bulldozers. “NO! My way or the highway! What I say goes! I know I’m right and I won’t back down!!! I know what I know and you can’t change my mind!! This is how it has to be/needs to be/is going to be!!! If you want something done right you gotta do it yourself!! Get outta my way and let me take over!!!” (I’m chuckling as I write this because I’m thinking of an Aquarius chick I met on Gab who pinned the Tom Petty song title “I Won’t Back Down” to the top of her page. Very fitting for a Fixed sign.) So the Cardinals can definitely be a take charge, competent personality, and often are, but again, maybe not AS strong and egomaniacal/bulldozer-y as the Fixed, as I’ve seen.
Right now I’m living this dynamic in live time as I finish up this write at my current job, with my Capricorn female supervisor. (now former. She has since left, and was replaced by a woman named Cheri whom I get into in the Pisces section.) On the outset she comes off as confident, take charge and very pragmatic, hard working, responsible, mature and friendly/sunshine-y….but she constantly caves to everybody and everything, getting dominated (including outright bullied) and ultimately letting the world have its way with her, to her detriment. As a Fixed/Power sign Scorpio, who’s listened to her complain to me about this issue multiple times, I’m watching it all from the sidelines getting frustrated, wanting to jump in and knock people’s heads together and yell at them to back TF off her. !! Do what she’s unable to do….but which I’m VERY much able to do, especially by this point in my life. (I’ve repeatedly been the defender of weak coworkers over the years in general. So if I’ve been around any coworker, female or male, getting bullied or pushed around by bosses or customers I’ve been the one to jump in and stop it/diffuse it/stand up for them.) And if people reading this are wondering why I’m not a supervisor/manager position myself, being a double whammy of Fixed/Power sign Scorpio Sun and Leo Rising who has that natural leader personality that steps up and takes charge, and feels the need to knock heads together ;) …..let’s just say it’s been a very mindful decision on my part, purposely choosing to bow out of that role even when I had opportunities to go in that direction. I’ve seen that it’s never worth it in the end. You get the elevated title and maybe a little more pay, but ultimately you’re still not the BOSS-boss, there’s always owners/CEOs/etc. above you undermining everything, so the “power” is illusory, and all you get is more work and headaches. Plus I know I don’t have the proper disposition for it anyway. Too impatient, temperamental/can’t hide my feelings, and intolerant of stupidity, laziness and apathy. And I don’t enjoy “trying to be a man.” Not my bag. Best to just stay on the sidelines. Sometimes the people who are the best at “stepping up and taking charge” aren’t the most suited for actually being in charge. ;) At least, in certain circumstances, anyway. For the everyday office job, like the ones I work at? Definitely NOT worth it.
Then there’s the Mutable signs (Pisces, Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius), which are the signs that wind down each season, and are the signs out of each element that are the most flexible/adaptable, and “bendy” you could say. Even weak.
Most people never really give a thought to who they are in terms of Power Dynamics with other people. They just mindlessly are what they’ve been programmed to be, and take it for granted. The weak person who just lays there, figuratively speaking, but sometimes literally, being dominated, controlled, protected and/or taken care of…..or the one naturally jumping in and doing the dominating and protecting. Or the ones that are just sort of in the middle. Displaying competency, and even definitely taking care of those weaker than them….but still somebody who can be dominated, controlled and/or looked after by other, even more powerful, people.
People either jump in and take charge, or just lay around passively, being whatever their energies program them to be. Whichever one you are take a moment, just for fun, to imagine what it would be like to be one of the others. For me it was intriguing to think of myself as the one who just lays there, being dominated and protected by somebody else very powerful, who just automatically assumes that role with me because I’m unable to. I don’t even know what that is, and I’ve never experienced it. My immediate protectors – my so-called “parents” – didn’t like or love me and didn’t protect me or care about me in so many ways. So without hesitation I did it for myself. As I’ve even described to others, “I had to be It for Myself” in all ways. I was born like that, and I just did it. As well as for my little brother. In this life I’ve been the dominating protector, for me, Joe, and so many others along the way. I don’t know how to NOT automatically do that and be that. So it was intriguing to imagine being the Mutable. Somebody who needs somebody to jump in for me as I lay there, soft, weak, vulnerable and helpless, giving up, and welcoming somebody else to just take charge so I don’t have to. I never had it, never experienced it…..and it never occurred to me to sit around waiting for it. I just immediately and instinctively took charge of myself and others, without hesitation. I was already taking care of kids professionally, running my own business in order to start making my own money and being self sufficient, advertising myself and interviewing potential new clients when calls would come in during the middle of dinner, when I was just a kid myself at 13 in 7th grade. That’s Fixed energy for you. Take charge, dominating, controlling, and VERY powerful, even as kids. Why? Because somebody has to be in this reality. Which is why these energies were created/programmed into this reality in the first place. A point we’ll be getting back to at the end. On a sidenote, does it ever get tiring always being the powerful, controlling, dominating Fixed energy? Do I ever wish I could just get a f’ing vacation and be the one getting taken care of for once? Hard yes. Will it ever happen? Hard no. Because it’s not in my nature to let it. I can’t let go and relinquish control. I can’t stop being what I am. The vacation will never come until this life is over. But there are definitely moments where my equally powerful double Fixed Taurus sun/Aquarius moon partner Tom helps and does things for me. It’s nice. But I will always be a hardworking, self-sufficient, dominating and protecting “alpha” ass kicker caretaker who can never, and will never, be the weak and passive “Mutable.”
Weirdly enough I stumbled onto a possible pattern that I wasn’t expecting with the Mutables when doing research for this write up. It started with researching the signs of any celebs that have been accused of/arrested/charged with higher level, and sometimes really debauched sex crimes, and then serial killers, to see if any astrology signs come up more than others. But specifically the ones who engaged in rape/torture/pedophilia/canibalism, etc., and that sort of deal. The really dark, pre-meditated psychopathic stuff. And it started with seeing a pattern involving Virgo and Pisces, until it finally clicked, like….wait a minute…..they’re both Mutables……Then I looked closer at my scribbled notes and noticed that the majority of the serial killers’ birthdays that I’d written down also included Gemini and Sag. So at least 90% of the really dark, predatorial, psychopathic level sex crime perps that I’d researched, for both celebs and serial killers, were distributed predominantly amongst those four signs. And I realized it makes sense I suppose, since the primary motivation for rape, torture and pedophilia is……. power. So you have a person who’s maladjusted to begin with as an individual, and who inherently lacks power on top of it due to their astrological configuration, trying to get their power back from those who are even weaker, more helpless and more vulnerable than them. Of which includes children, women, the elderly and animals. I just sat back after realizing this, looking down at my scribbled notes like “woooowwww……!” O.o
But as readers can see by this point, the Fixed, Cardinal and Mutable aspect of astrology is important because how one wields power – or doesn’t – is a vital component of our personalities, and an important way to hone in on what sign somebody may be. Realizing this aspect of things is a bit revelatory actually, in terms of being able to now better analyze what we’re seeing when we watch people around us in life interacting with each other, whether positive or negative. It’s all about power plays – who’s dominating as the bulldozer Alpha, who’s outright submitting (or even sucking up or desperately chasing people around) as the Beta, and/or who’s on the sidelines not playing along at all, which can actually be a sign of being either Alpha or Beta. Depends on what their motivation is for holding back and staying out of things. Fear? Or being so confident in themselves and willing to be alone on an island that they don’t care about things in general, or what anybody thinks, and therefore have no desire to play along? But when you look closer you’ll most often see the correlating astrology at play when it comes to intrapersonal power dynamics.
I also realized when writing this that the pattern of Fixed, Cardinal and Mutable creates what’s known as a “sawtooth wave,” if you were to graph it out based on energy strength. Not quite a sine wave, but still an up and down wave/energy pattern all the same, happening on a set schedule throughout the year. The wave starting at the bottom with Mutable, as the weakest, climbing up to Cardinal, then reaching the peak with Fixed, as the most powerful, until plummeting all the way back down to Mutable, no in between….repeat. The rapid decline/plummet is what creates the unbalanced sawtooth configuration, versus a sine wave with an even cyclical up and down. But this cycling energy is important to note as we’ll be returning to this point at the end when pooling everything together and analyzing what’s actually going on here.
When guessing people’s signs I then try to further hone on even more detailed traits about a person, until I’ve arrived at my guess. (which requires knowing all the main traits of each sign, coming up.) And that’s really all there is to it. Just knowing these basics – Air, Earth, Fire and Water, feminine or masculine, and Fixed, Cardinal and Mutable power levels – along with knowing the traits of each individual sign has been enough to accurately deduce people in multiple instances. And as noted, some people’s personalities and physical looks just scream from the rooftops, so I don’t even need to go through this process. It’s just BAM! correct guess immediately.
One time as a fun personal test/experiment I utilized my deductive reasoning process to determine an ex boyfriend’s moon sign from many years ago. “So you think you’re good? Okay, let’s see if we can deduce this guy’s MOON sign. Try that!” I picked him because A) I knew him personality-wise, since he was an ex, but not only that, his personality was definitely unusual, making it a good challenge, and B) I obviously also knew his full birthday for the same reason, making it so that I could look it up to see whether I was right in my guess. So this is a good example to illustrate both the process of elimination I mentioned earlier, as well as the whole “moon sign” thing and why it’s so important.
Even though this guy was Virgo, born September 3rd, demonstrating Virgo traits (detail oriented meticulousness, emotional cool headedness/detachment in terms of empathy/sympathy, being grounded, responsible, restrained, and also a really good talker – he could talk on the phone for hours) he was also CLEARLY demonstrating a bunch of non Virgo traits. What were they though?
Being (quietly) bossy for one. Take charge. The masculine leader. This ultimately defined him. Everything was all about him, all the time. What he wanted to do and where he wanted to go. And doing things when he was available, on his terms. Very controlling (which is also a Virgo trait….) and very narcissistic in that regard. (he was an only child, which certainly didn’t help. !! “Only child syndrome” is a very real thing, that’s all I can say, as somebody who’s dated three guys who were only children, and known multiple females who were only children……) Persistent and determined as well. Several years after I broke up with him I ran into him again randomly one night after not seeing him in all that time, and he would NOT take no for an answer in terms of us hanging out and going with him to some get together/party thing in a few days. I said no like five or six times, a stubborn – Fixed, Power-Based – stand off :D but he push! push! pushed! until finally I literally sighed and was like OKAY, FINE. OMG. And caved in. Another big trait was that he was also passionate and fiery about life in general, liking to get out there and do things. He was the guy who swoops in and sweeps you up and absorbs you into his life and passions and hobbies (though still demonstrating that cool headed Virgo restraint while doing it). But definitely NOT the guy who GETS absorbed. Very strong, individuated ego core who knows himself and doesn’t cave to pressure of any type. “Quietly Fun” would be a good way of describing his overall contradiction. And when it came to romance he was both repressed/restrained and fiery passionate, all at once. And I came to learn that later in life he had eventually joined the military in a minor capacity, having a leader position, and then went on to become a teacher afterwards – somebody who gets to stand in front of a class – on stage, so to speak – dominating people as their leader (while also engaging in that Virgo trait of talk talk talk). And he runs his own small side business, where he’s in charge, of course, and instructing/teaching people.
So, my final conclusion? Leo. (Masculine, fire, Fixed/“Power” sign that’s known for being egomaniacal, even selfish and narcissistic, bossy/dominant/leader, competitive/has to be the best, and loves to be on stage, being seen, admired and respected.)
I went to my trusty Astro.com website, mentioned earlier, plugged in his birthday information (9/3/1975), and sure enough…..Leo moon. First try, boom bitches. ;) Pretty cool. (I admit, I was actually really excited that I was able to pinpoint it first try, straight out the gate.)
Another example was when I was pondering on Tom’s mom Sue, who was a Pisces, March 11th, year of the Dog, born in 1958. You would think the Pisces Dog combo would lead to a totally low key, compliant personality. However she had a lot of spitfire in her. Dynamic and outgoing, friendly and outspoken. And described herself as a child back in Singapore as a bit of a tomboy who would get into fights with boys. That isn’t typical feminine water sign Pisces girl energy, or year of the Dog either, and a great example of how skeptics and disbelievers would have a field day pointing out how this disproves astrology. So while she did absolutely demonstrate Pisces Dog personality traits there was also this glaring contradiction that couldn’t be denied. Definitely seemed to be something Fire sign. Looked things up on Astro.com – Sagittarius moon. No wonder. Dynamic, energetic, outgoing/sociable masculine Fire sign that speaks its mind with truth bombs and can sometimes get a little punchy. She was also a numerological Life Path 1, which is the Leader and Rebel. Something we’ll be getting into later. But that definitely added a dynamic, take charge component to her personality that was in competition with the softer, more passive Pisces Dog combo.
But that’s what I mean by so long as you learn the traits of each sign, and just as importantly, the four elements aspect, and the masculine/feminine aspects as well, then it becomes almost too easy. And it’s also what I mean by how equally important it is to include the moon sign in the personality equation, if nothing else.
The Traits of Each Sign
Following are the personality and physical traits I’ve noticed about each of the signs, good and bad. Many of the traits you’ll see in books/online articles as well, however I only include what I personally know to be true and have repeatedly seen for myself. It’s real life anecdotes (and a bit of a small book….) and things I’ve seen and experienced repeatedly, a lot of which I don’t think I’ve seen anywhere else. So we’re talking straight up facts, usually humorous….. and whether politically correct or not. But it is what it is. So people have been warned. ! This write up isn’t coming from a soft and fuzzy feel-good New Age perspective. It’s real life, matter-of-fact, with the ideal goal to give people some laughs along the way. And it doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take people as individuals, or that we reduce everybody solely down to their astrology. But it just means don’t be surprised either when things match up.
From there we’ll investigate my bigger picture “Matrix” theories on it all, in the section entitled “Putting the Pieces Together.” It’s not necessary to read everything that comes before the end to understand the conclusions/theories, but the rest of the write up does flesh things out and bolsters the case, that’s for sure.
Another important point to make is this, and it’s something I do note throughout this write up in each sign’s description, but it really needs to be reiterated straight out the gate: not everybody of each sign does all the things that I talk about. Obviously. But enough of them do, which makes it a thing worth noting. If that weren’t the case then me and everybody else who’s ever written about the personality traits (and sometimes the repeating physical features) of each sign wouldn’t have anything to write about. There are reasons though for why 100% of all people born under a sign don’t do 100% of all the things noted about that sign, and we’ll be touching on those reasons throughout. Everything from the influence of the rest of one’s astrological chart, which can mute or amplify certain traits, including being a cusp between two signs, as well as Eastern astrology and numerology, self awareness, freewill, the nature of one’s soul, and thus….the ability to transcend/override. We’ll be getting into all of these things.
For every zodiac sign I’m also going to touch on various famous people in different fields that we’ve all heard of that perfectly illustrate some of the major aspects, whether it’s personality or astrologically-influenced looks, which I want to convey to readers. It includes posting links to relevant vid clips or photos. Famous people (no matter what field they’re famous in) are a good tool to use for this sort of thing for two main reasons: 1) They’re usually very visible, giving interviews, so you can study their personalities and mannerisms, or hear what types of things they choose to say (and not say) and 2) Their birthdays are usually always publicly available to look up online. So it’s easy.
But just to be clear I am not a celeb worshipper. I know what the deal is, both in terms of the shallowness of the entertainment industry and how it’s used to distract, program and entrance the masses, but also with the extremely dark/demonic activity that goes on behind the scenes in Hollywood, as well as in government and politics. Nobody makes it to the top in this realm without paying to play in some way, even if it’s only selling out their own selves. So this is definitely no endorsement of any celeb or politician I use as an example, nor idolizing or celebrating Hollywood in any way. I actually dislike most of them, and at best am neutral about the rest. (I’ve come to realize though that despite a massive increase in awareness and awakening that’s occurring in our society, most people are still completely clueless as to the true nature of Hollywood, politics and this world in general. Even some people who read my stuff. O.o Many people reading this may not be up to speed on things, coming from a sheltered, New Age-y type of perspective that gets easily bruised reading anything that says something perceived as “negative.” All I can say is that things are not what they seem to be in this reality, and that most definitely goes for Hollywood. !)
It was an actual issue for me to include celebs of any discipline in this write up, because that’s how much I’ve had it with the idea of Hollywood and the entertainment industry by this point in my life. But I also realized….we all know who many of these people are, whether we want to or not. We’ve seen the movies, TV shows and series, heard the music, watched the standup, seen them featured in the news and media, or we know who they are politically or within the world of sports. Since they often demonstrate textbook personality traits, speech, mannerisms and looks they therefore make good illustrative examples that most people are familiar with, and can then cross compare for themselves with the real world people around them.
I will say this though: the more I got going with compiling this write up and the more research I was doing into the personal astrologers of various people, whether famous or non, the better I got at guessing things correctly before even looking things up, and the more outrageous patterns I kept finding. All of which continued to prove exactly what I’m claiming in terms of the validity of astrology and numerology.
It just got to a point where I began to get truly creeped out about all of this. I was always a believer in the personality aspects of astrology, because I’d seen patterns going back many years, so it’s nothing new. But because of all the digging down and various research I had to do in order to put this write up together it means I became even more knowledgable, and thus, got REALLY good at things. It became more common to be able to pinpoint somebody’s sun sign within ~30 seconds, sometimes instantly. Take one look at somebody’s face and either immediately pinpoint their exact sign, first try, or at least be able to tell whether they were born under a feminine or masculine sign. Even started being able to correctly guess, first try, some of the other planets in people’s charts besides sun and moon. Seeing over and over again the weirdly specific, verbatim personality traits people were displaying despite differences in ages, gender, ethnicities, nationalities/culture, sexuality, you name it. As if they have no freewill choice. I can’t emphasize enough how creeped out I got. Like, solar plexus/stomach clenching up and slight chills when describing to Tom all the endless patterns I’ve discovered and ways in which I was continually nailing people’s astrology IMMEDIATELY. We are truly walking templates that have been stamped with energy and personality imprints, to the level of a computer, and it cannot be emphasized enough. Something like that should not be in a truly real and organic reality. And yet it is.
The implications for it all is what causes me to get the stomach clenching. I think because it really drives home the point of “being cattle” in some way. There’s several possibilities for why this imprinting is happening, and how, but one of the reasons could definitely involve “predicting and controlling the herd,” and it’s one of the big things we’ll be getting back into at the end. Aware Truthers and researchers into the “woo” have seen evidence all around us for how we as the human race are being, um…..managed……and ultimately overseen by things above us. Schools and universities, the so-called “news” media in all forms, Hollywood and all aspects of entertainment, corrupt governments, the corrupt mainstream medical establishment designed to kill vs. heal, etc. etc. Evidence that’s pretty tangible, which I think psychologically makes it easier to process, because it is so overt. But finding this other semi-hidden metaphysical layer to it all that is right under our noses, but which most don’t/can’t see….I think that’s why it creeped me out. Granted, a lot of mainstream people are knowledgeable and talented with personality astrology too, but they’re not seeing the real reasons for WHY, or HOW it exists. They think it’s just this fun, cute and innocuous thing, which is why they always sound so cutesy fuzzy bunny when talking about it or even writing their own material about it all. It’s really not cute actually, not when you stop and really think about it and take a good look around.
It reminds me of those times in life I was experiencing multiple back-to-back outrageous/impossible synchronicities, where reality felt like it was literally “folding in on itself” in some way, leaving me feeling like I wanted to curl up into a ball and go “AHHHH!” blocking out the world. Kind of the same feeling I was getting the more and more patterns I encountered with the study of personality astrology, and being able to increasingly guess people’s signs immediately. You begin wishing you weren’t able to be so good at it, and that people weren’t so predictable and “stamped,” to the point where it’s even affecting their looks. Like “aHHHhHhhH!! sTtTtOOoOPppP!!!!!”
This whole thing should not be. And I don’t want it to be. It would be awesome if we truly were all willy nilly random and organically developed, unpredictable, and completely free to be whatever we choose to be. But we’re not. We’re all subject to our astrology and numerology stamping to a large extent, sad to say. It can be overridden and transcended, absolutely, with mindfulness and efforts, and we’ll be getting into that. But that doesn’t change the fact we’ve all been stamped, or programmed like a computer. That was the undeniable conclusion I had to come to by the end of doing this project. “Astrological and numerological imprinting” becomes a problem when people don’t realize this has been done to them, either because they’ve never researched things, or they’ve chosen to dismiss the subject entirely. And because of that they fall victim to their base energy/personality imprinting, thinking it’s just “who they are” and “how they are.”
Is it though? They don’t realize they’ve been artificially influenced to become a “cookie cutter predictable character.”
Or those who believe they’re a unique and special snowflake, unlike anybody else and completely in charge of who they are. Are they though? Once you dig down into astrology, both Eastern and Western, as well as numerological life paths, it’s amazing how quickly we learn just how NOT unique, and how totally predictable, we actually are. O.o Especially when cross comparing against other people with the same type of configurations. Throughout this write up I describe real life examples I’ve had with “astrological same-sies” – People whom I pinpointed as being just like each other, including in terms of looks. Only to find out after the fact that they had the same birthdays and/or astrological/numerological configurations.
So even if people think that reading about each individual sign may not be of interest to them, or they just want to skip around and only read up on a couple that personally interest them, you never know….there’s a lot of random but relevant information and insights that can be found within each section that apply to everybody in general, in terms of the concepts as a whole. Including endless real life examples/anecdotes that I provide which illustrate things. So if your mindset is “Prove it!” then reading about all the signs is the way to go. I think it’s safe to say….it gets proven. O.o
In addition, one of the things I do reiterate throughout is that having an understanding of the astrological personalities and their motivations (or lack thereof….) really does help one better navigate through the world. So even if somebody thinks they’re not interested in learning about the various signs, again, you never know….it could come in handy. I know it has for me. Plus I do try to make it as entertaining as possible, so there’s that. ;)
(On a fun side note: Tom recently showed me >>this meme, which uses a single funny image to summarize each sign.<< I thought it was so scary accurate, coming to the same conclusions that I came to myself as readers will see, that I just have to share it.)
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Earth, Feminine, Cardinal
For years I found Caps to the be the most…unobtrusive of the signs, so therefore the hardest to pin down. But once I read a humorous description somewhere that said Caps were “born old” …….DING! DING! DING! Holy shit did that make it click for me. So true, and sums up probably every Cap I’ve ever known in retrospect. (See the cartoon meme I linked to in the previous paragraph. How did it summarize Caps? An old bearded man, complete with the Werther’s Original candies, which we’ve always joked on this end are old man candies. ;D Too funny.) There’s a tendency towards being mature, serious and wise at a young age. Serious faces is the giveaway. Tom’s younger half brother Michael is a Cap, and a photo of him and his wife epitomized Cap energy. First off he was only 25, but looked like a “middle aged math professor,” as Tom joked, with his sweater and collared shirt, body that was heading towards portly, serious face and short, neatly combed hair. Then factor in how he was already a college grad, and now married, to a Mennonite chick (even though he himself is not Mennonite/Amish), has a baby, owns a home and has a high paying career level job. THAT’S Capricorn, right there. 25 going on 55. He doesn’t mess around. ! (Then he had Kid #2 by 27/28 years old.) And Tom’s niece and nephew are also both Caps, and who’ve acted WAY beyond their years in terms of their serious maturity, responsibility, and self-composed natures at young ages.
While Capricorn was once one of the hardest signs for me to understand/pinpoint (and I’ve heard the same from others who dabble in amateur astrological profiling) I realize now it’s not that hard if you apply the principles explained earlier. Look at the general elemental energy on display. Look at whether it’s masculine or feminine energy being projected. Look at the power level. Then it just clicks, as it does when you apply these principles to any of the twelve signs. So as an Earth sign, Caps tend towards being steady/leveled, calm/grounded, hard working and pragmatic. Sometimes just outright deadpan, dry and monotone. Tom’s dad is also a hard Capricorn, and his personality is total flatline. Cap is grouped together with fellow feminine Earth signs Virgo and Taurus, so they all have the commonality of being….down to earth, so to speak. Low key in many instances, unobtrusive, as mentioned. Where Caps differ from their fellow Earth signs is their motivations. That’s where all signs differ from their fellow “elemental breathren.” A Taurus can display many of the same general traits as a Cap, but they’re going to be the most boss energy/power-seeking of the three as the Fixed sign. And Virgo may also come off as Cap-like initially, but a Virgo’s motivation seems to be nitpicking and correcting everything and hyper controlling their personal worlds. ;) (possibly due to being Mutable….and needing to feel like they’re getting some power back….)
But to me Caps feel like they’re just………coasting along, right smack in the middle of the two other signs. Which is in line with how Cap is a Cardinal sign, mentioned earlier. Not the Fixed Power Boss, but not the Mutable weak sign either. Somebody who is definitely competent and knows how to be in control, but also pleasant, easy to get along with, and in my experience observant, smart and with intelligent insights to contribute to conversations. In my experience they enjoy listening to the more extroverted, talkative people who take charge in a conversation, whether in-person or written/online, then chiming in to add their two cents, filling in the blanks so to speak and helping to propel things, being that useful contributor and co-leader. I’ve seen it with both the males and females and in the everyday world as well as online.
When I was trying to guess what my aforementioned Cap female supervisor is astrologically I honed in on her very feminine energy, with the long, dyed blonde curled hair almost exclusively worn down, not up (that’s a yin/feminine trait as the Chinese will tell you) feminine dressy/classy clothes and accessories, of which includes always wearing long sleeves and which are never pushed up (more yin/feminine behavior as again, the Chinese will tell you) full makeup, heeled shoes, etc., along with how she moves and speaks and carries herself in general, which narrowed it down to any of the six feminine signs, which are either Earth, or Water. But is she emotions-centric, like a water sign? She can be very empathetic and sensitive, no doubt, part of that feminine energy thing….. but feelings are not what ultimately govern her. Practicality/pragmatism does. She’s also very down to earth, leveled, approachable/friendly and relatable, which is why she’s very popular at our job. “Put feelings aside to get the job done.” “Bite my tongue and don’t say or show how I really feel.” “I may feel like shit right now but there’s a job to do, so keep pushing forward.” And that includes staying hours later or coming in on the weekends in order to make sure the job gets done. Those down to earth, hardworking/dedicated pragmatic qualities made me examine Virgo and Taurus. Her body type was definitely very Taurus, as we’ll learn more about later on, but she doesn’t present that “Bullheaded Boss Energy” that Tauruses have. Necessarily. There are times when her mindset is absolutely “oh HELL no, this is how it’s going to be….” and fully takes charge of something regardless of what upper management is saying, too bad for them they can suck it. But in general she tends to cave in to people and situations. And she has a lot in common with a Virgo, but nitpicky control freak and persnickity prickliness is not part of her deal like many Virgos. But also factoring in how she’s definitely known for deadpan/acerbic commentary and wit it means long story short….Cap was shortlisted for me as one of my best guesses. And that’s exactly what she is, born on 1/16.
And I say shortlisted, not pinpointed, because I did also consider Fixed/Power Boss Air sign Aquarius. Why? Because other traits she shares with Aquarius is being talkative, and kinda odd. She’s got her unique quirks, that’s for sure. And being somebody who knows how to take charge and be the boss. So in general I was thinking “January,” which could be either Cap or Aquarius. That was my first guess. I had a 1 in 12 shot, and I technically nailed it, first guess, since she’s born smack in the middle of the month. But this is the same Capricorn female supervisor mentioned towards the beginning, the one who’s a boss….but also keeps getting steamrolled over in life by much stronger people. I think if she was the full blown Aquarius that wouldn’t be the case. She’d BE the top boss. ;D (And on edit: I finally learned what year she was born and looked up her profile on Astro.com and saw that her moon is….Taurus.)
A good famous example of the epitome of Cap energy would be Jason Bateman. He’s made a good living playing the same deadpan, flat/unfazed but humorous versions of himself in multiple TV and movie roles. Singer/band leader Marilyn Manson is another example of the classic monotone, deadpan, unfazed version of Capricorn. Giving intelligent, articulate answers in old interviews despite being purposely dressed like a freakjob, while nonchalantly picking at his nails, like he can’t be bothered. Nicholas Cage is another. Found more than one interview where he’s just pure deadpan, monotone, unfazed and can’t be bothered. Or as one YouTube commenter so perfectly put it, “His vibe of ‘you paid me just enough to do this but not enough to pretend I enjoy it’ is incredible.” ;D
But speaking of which – Something I noticed in my research is that Capricorn tends to represent guys that become known for dark and heavy personas, interested in all things dark, weird and macabre/horror related. A lot of times people might assume Scorpio for the dark, heavy and macabre persona thing, but it’s actually not the case. You’re more apt to find a Capricorn in that role than a Scorpio it seems. And that goes for people with Capricorn moons as well. Maybe because there’s a lot of occult stuff wrapped up in the energy of Cap, including that it’s represented by the horned “sea goat” (whatever that is :D ) and ruled by Saturn. And maybe because it’s an Earth sign, which is “heavy,” as opposed to water. Who knows. In these times the two biggest sex traffickers who have been in the news and affiliated with Hollywood and politics are P. Diddy (Scorpio) and…..Jeffrey Epstein. Capricorn. (1/20) The more research I did though the more I realized that you do see this pattern with Caps a lot, when they’re manifesting their dark traits. (pessimistic, unforgiving, critical, arrogant and selfish, apparently.) But besides Manson, some other good examples of this that I came across in my research included Rob Zombie, Lemmy Kilmister (lead singer of Motorhead), Derrick Green (lead singer of Sepultera), Jonathan Davis (lead singer of Korn), Till Lindemann (lead singer of Rammstein), Peter Steele (lead singer of Type O Negative), and on a milder note, Bryan “Dexter” Holland (lead singer of The Offspring) Zack De La Rocha (lead singer of Rage Against the Machine) and David Bowie. And just to note that there have been multiple accusations leveled at Marilyn Manson in recent years for being a rapist and abuser of women, and somebody who doesn’t hesitate to threaten to have people killed who cross him.
So Capricorn can be that dark, weird and heavy energy, as well as again, a secondary powerful/leader sign, being one of the Cardinal signs, as mentioned at the beginning. Therefore it makes sense that Caps have so often become the lead singer of mega famous bands, or singular famous performer entities, being that other notable traits of Caps include ambition and being demanding, hardworking, serious, resourceful, reliable, disciplined, persistent and responsible.
Years ago I worked for a Big Cheese Power Boss who was a Leo – of course ;) – masculine, a little on the arrogant side, and ego-based, acting like a “Spoiled Prince,” as I described it to Tom with an eyeroll. But who was also demonstrating simultaneously a very low key, kind of heavy, serious and melancholic energy. It was both at once. And his moon sign? Capricorn. And he’s not the only example I’ve come across in life, male or female, famous or non, where a Capricorn moon is giving people that heavy, meloncholic aspect to their personality that can even affect their facial expression, making them look flat and serious. Moon signs are just as vitally important to things as the sun, as I’ll be reiterating throughout this write up.
Let’s leave off with the all time sweetest, cutest, wise, mature Capricorn moment I’ve ever seen in the everyday world, which was this interview with a three year old named Leah, born on 1/9 as is noted in the video. (“God is love.”) Leah was very sick and pretty much living in the hospital most of the time, and being interviewed by her mother. Talk about ’3 going on 500.’ Even the way she blinks and nods and smiles throughout the vid makes her seem “old person trapped in the body of a kid.”
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Air, Masculine, Fixed
Once saw a depiction of Aquariuses that had some zany, bald dude spraying whipped cream all over his head, and that freaking NAILED it. Aquarius = weirdest people you’ll ever meet. Kooky, off kilter, “Marching to the beat of their own drum,” free spirit. It’s a very outwardly projected thing too, in whatever form it takes for each individual, therefore hard to not notice. And I’ve noticed this aspect in the everyday world even with Aquariuses who, on the surface, seem totally mainstream and cool/popular, like they fit right in with everybody else. Look closer. They usually don’t. But they may be good at pretending they do, or seeming as if they do because of other aspects of their personality that appeal to people. But in my experiences there’s always something weird/different/kooky/unusual/free spirit about Aquariuses of either gender.
This “weirdest people you’ll ever meet” thing actually extends further back in the astrological chart right through Capricorn. I would classify many Caps I’ve known or seen in the media as also being some of the weirdest freaking people you’ll ever meet. Not all, but it’s enough of a thing. They’re just a little more low key seeming about it all. So the “exceptionally weird and kooky/bizarre energy stamp” thing seems to be happening starting in December, throughout all of January and well into February. It doesn’t just clear cut start only when Aquarius starts. “It’s January 21st…..annnnnnddd…..cue the weird beam!!! weeeeeeeeee!” Weird really translates into = something discombobulated. Off kilter. And that can make perfect sense if it really is about an energy stamp sort of situation. May not even have to do with the constellations as we know them, but something else happening during that particular several month time period, on top of the standard astrological “sawtooth waves,” and which is also affecting people in that type of way.
Probably because Aquarius is a masculine air sign (cerebral, emotionally detached) means the dudes tend to gravitate towards anything computer or mechanical oriented. So they’re often great with electronics, computers, cars, etc. This goes even for the ones with a moon in Aquarius too. My Aquarius sun brother Joe may have been programmed through his MK to know electronics and radios like nobody’s business…..but there’s a reason he took to it like nobody’s business. And that went for cars, and bikes, and being able to build and repair anything mechanical in general. It seemed there was no aspect of these things that he couldn’t do with no effort. An Aquarius ex boyfriend of mine when we were both just teens also specialized in not only fixing cars but building computers, and getting involved in these long winded discussions with his (Virgo) dad about computers that just went completely over my head. (As I’ll touch on later, Virgos are often highly involved in tedious computer/I.T./programming work, and just like Aquariuses are very chatty.) And meanwhile as he was acing advanced math classes in high school. No surprise. And as an adult he’s made a living in I.T. infrastructure work. Also no surprise.
Important to note is that Aquarius is one of the four Fixed signs of the zodiac, which is what I nickname the Power Signs, mentioned earlier. Which means you will often find Aquariuses in take charge leadership positions and being The Big Wig, Manager, supervisor, department head, president, CEO, just any “big corporate title position,” you name it. And this definitely includes the women, since it’s a masculine air sign.
Also Aquariuses can be very talkative, as just mentioned. Ties with Virgo and Gemini IMO for chattiest sign of the zodiac. And because it’s an air sign means they’re emotionally cool headed. So they’re not good with people having emotional meltdowns and being hot headed in general. When it comes to female Aquariuses in my experience, even the nicer ones, there’s almost this need to be the “unsympathetic tough ass.” I go out of my way to specify females with this because this isn’t typically a female trait, as we tend to think of females as emotional, sensitive and nurturing. Nobody would be surprised by a guy being this way, but females? A little unexpected. But this actually goes for ALL the Air signs. I don’t think I’ve ever met a female Air sign, which includes Gemini and Libra, who liked to entertain emotional problems and histrionics. They may politely listen because they feel obligated to……but they don’t enjoy it.
So if you’re looking for a warm, emotive and sympathetic shoulder to cry on…..best to move along if you’re dealing with any of the Air signs. Find a different friend to unload your emotional problems on and seek comfort from. And don’t rely on your Aquarius boyfriend, husband, male friend or family member to provide it either. They may listen politely as well, and even offer up helpful intellectual-based advise, but they often got nothin’ in terms of “omg! I’m going to cry along with you and just sit here and sympathize!” if that’s your thing. Not only because they’re male, but because they’re an Air sign male. It’s a double whammy of “Couldn’t give a shit.” ;D So long as you understand this about ALL the Air signs you’ll navigate them MUCH better.
Tying into all of this is the way that Aquarius women in my experience often do not make good mother material, and in best case scenarios will recognize this about themselves before embarking on something due to societal or family pressure. It’s because they’re usually too emotionally cold and logical, masculine and driven. And you know…..kooky/weird/free spirit, just off marchin’ around in life to their own drum. Seems to make it difficult for many of them to connect to their kids, or to the idea of having kids, and to tap into that soft, warm, maternal and nurturing aspect, being okay with staying home all day, devoting themselves to babies/children and being a homemaker. They often lack the emotional component for it, and they’re too driven to settle for “just” that. They want to be out there, in the world, DOING shit, being intellectually stimulated, and often with big Power Boss goals.
(There are always exceptions; a recent Aquarius female office manager at a former job named Jenn was a very loving, doting, devoted mom. But “IN GENERAL” just sayin’. Jenn was actually mindfully overriding her base instinct which was “Unsympathetic Tough Ass Mode” that she demonstrated with everybody else, because as she point blank said to me, she was trying hard to be as opposite of the way her parents treated her growing up. A case of mindful consciousness and higher spirit working to override both her Aquarius Matrix personality stamp and environmental influences that she experienced growing up. So that was very commendable. And indeed, her child will never know that cold, detached and unsympathetic upbringing that Jenn herself faced. She wound up only having one kid though, because that was enough for her. She didn’t have it in her to go through it all with more than one. All that mindful overriding was very taxing for her. And on a side note, notice how Jenn was what position? The office manager, aka, the HBIC. Of course.)
But I’ve known MULTIPLE cold/detached Aquarius mothers in life, including my own, to the point where this is a noteworthy thing as far as I’m concerned. One of the Aquarius females (2/1) I knew at another former job was not only a high level POWER BOSS, of course (she’s now a full on City Manager, a goal of hers since college) but she referred to her kids as “The Girl” and “The Boy” with cold disdain. O.o Never by their names. It was disturbing. But that’s just how cold and disconnected she was from her own kids and from being their mother. Basically the same as my Aquarius “mother,” (1/27) who didn’t even refer to my younger brother Joe by his name anymore by the time he was 12. Just always disdainfully referred to him as “Your brother.” YOUR brother, as if he belonged to me, and was my deal, my problem. Nothing to do with her whatsoever. :/ She was icy cold, and I have no memories of being hugged or held by her, and never saw her hug or pick up and carry around Joe. But trust me, he saw it and felt it full force, which is why by the time he was ten he told me “I consider you to be my mom, not Mom.” The feminine, sensitive, Fixed/Power Boss Water sign Scorp was the one stepping up to fill in as the mom role in that equation in all ways. Babystitting/minding, helping with homework, buying school clothes, supplies, food and toys/fun stuff, teaching/educating and guiding, just everything and anything that was needed. Not the cold/detached, cerebral-based kooky/weirdo Fixed/Power Boss Aquarius. Everything about her was weird though, always saying kookoo weird shit, and also completely superficial, lacking any depth. I’ve described it as if living with a stranger who was being forced at gunpoint to raise foster kids that weren’t her own.
Meanwhile a former Aquarius coworker named Blair (1/23) once told me she would never have kids “…because I have no love in me.” O.o But hey…….at least she recognized it before any damage was done. And yet another former Aquarius Power Boss I had, named Lisa (1/22) who was both the Office Manager and HR Manager, was once relaying to me how, when her firstborn son was only two months old, she couldn’t WAIT to dump him off into daycare and get back to work. The look in her face/eyes as she said it too……. O.o I watched her face go dark and creepy as she relived in that moment how she felt about her newborn back in the day, and what an annoying burden he had been that she couldn’t wait to dump off with strangers. It was like a moment of glimpsing “the matrix negs/demons” popping through somebody. Her true self. The fake mask she always wore with people where she portrayed herself as very….Stepford and perfect and uppity, for lack of a better way of putting it, had slipped for a brief moment. Everything about Lisa though was weird/bizarre, too much to get into here.
Then we have another Aquarius Moms example, but which segues into another important point about astrology. It took place back in 1994, when I was 19 and working as a hotel front desk clerk in SoCal. One of the long term guests that was staying there was a mother who was with her seven year old son. One day when driving them around in the hotel’s shuttle van she was REALLY rubbing me the wrong way because of the way she was interacting with her son in the seat behind me. I couldn’t get over how much like my own “mother” she was, with her cold, haughty and unsympathetic demeanor. Which also included her dark brunette hair, and fair white skin, same as my “mom.” Her son was frowning quietly at his interaction with her, clearly not happy, so it wasn’t my imagination, and it just fueled my annoyance towards her, seeing the negative impact she was having on this innocent kid. Kept marveling to myself, “She’s just like my mom….” Then come to find out…. she had the same birthday as my Aquarius “mom.” January 27th. Hello. So that was my first experience with encountering somebody with the same birthday as somebody else I knew, displaying the same personality/demeanor.
Years ago at a supermarket in SoCal I saw a cover of Rolling Stone with Justin Timberlake on it that stopped me in my tracks, because of Justin’s uncanny resemblance to my brother Joe, whose birthday is 1/31/81. The brunette hair, shaved short, the fair skin, the facial hair goatee thing, the thicker eyebrows, but most of all…….the look in his eyes and his face. (Though Joe was way more deadened/hardened, due to some seriously negative life events, including having done years of time in jails and juvees before he was even 18.) Just kept staring at the cover in that supermarket, stopped in my tracks, marveling at the likeness.
Come to find out later on…..Justin’s birthday is 1/31/81.
This example was my first real introduction into the idea that people with the same astrologies, including those born on the same exact day, may also even share physical likenesses in common, not just personality traits. A HUGELY important piece of the puzzle, only because traditional astrology wants to explain the whole thing away as being that moment when we’re born. Which sure, might be an influence on things. But for people to look similar, if not almost identical, despite wildly differing genetics, means things are being influenced in utero. By something else.
The above mentioned Aquarius boss who couldn’t wait to drop off her baby in daycare and get back to being a Power Boss at her job looks uncannily like presidential Power Boss wannabe Nikki Haley. Even the same exact hair color and hair style/length. Same skin color, almost the same face and jaw structure. It’s WILD. Turns out….they have almost the same birthday. Nikki: 1/20. Boss woman: 1/22.
And getting back to my aforementioned former Aquarius supervisor Jenn (2/6) another noteworthy personality trait that she had in common with many other Aquariuses I’ve known or heard about……the penchant for saying weird shit, as already touched on. You can usually always count on the resident Aquarius in any situation to say rando, weird shit, that’s all I can say. Hence the pic I mentioned at the very beginning with some zany bald dude spraying whipped cream all over his head and being weird. (And I actually once worked with a “zany bald Aquarius dude” named Max, who was a supervisor/department head, of course, as the Fixed/Power sign, but whose zaniness was actually “kinda crazy.” O.o Walking around the office talking to himself, and even cussing out people he was arguing with in his mind. Once when he flew past, cussing out some invisible person, my sensible and very awake Taurus coworker/work friend Serina who was standing next to me mused deadpan, “He needs an exorcist.” O.o Sitting in the lunchroom with an intense “I’m at war” look on his face, hunched defensively over his little microwavable meal and with his entire arm wrapped around it, acting like the world was trying to steal his food right out from under him. Truly one of the weirdest dudes I’ve ever worked with.)
But in Jenn’s case she would get in these weirdly happy/peppy and chatty (but emotionally superficial) moods and just say weird random shit to me, using me as an object to bounce herself off of. (The “superficially bouncing oneself off of other people” trait is definitely something I’ve encountered in multiple Aquariuses over the years, both in person and online, and as a feelings/meaning-based person myself it’s off-putting. It’s a trait that I’ve seen in all the Air signs, and Fire signs as well in my personal experience, for both females AND males. ) So I’d just nod, and smile, but meanwhile think to myself, “Okkkaaaayyyy….whatever you say, weirdo…” until she’d go away. O.o Her kooky weird socially strange behavior also included an obsession with talking about her period. I’d never met any other female in life who was obsessed with making sure the world knows “SHE BLEEDS FROM HER VAGINA.” It’s her time of the month, she’s got cramps, I need to borrow a tampon, did I mention I have cramps? Or that it’s my time of the month again? I got cramps so let me tell you this crazy rambling story about how I have to run my space heater under my desk to help with the cramps, but then everything that’s going wrong with the space heater when I try to do that…..look at me as I conspicuously leave tampons laying around on my desk for anybody to see, I’m getting my period, I have cramps…..
Just bizarre. And keeping in mind….Jenn was actually the most popular person in the office. (but not with me, obviously.) So that’s what I meant earlier that on the surface Aquariuses may seem very normal….…but look closer. They’re usually not. As one can imagine, Jenn and I only got on superficially, enough to get our jobs done and put on the illusion of pleasantries, but did not gel personality-wise. As a Scorpio I’ve never been able to gel with ANY of the Aquarius female bosses I’ve had. Or even the Aquarius female coworkers. It’s difficult.
One of the most recent examples at my current job is a ~60 year old woman named Susan who works in Accounting, who, as it turns out, has the same birthday as that aforementioned former coworker Blair. 1/23. One of the big traits in common between both Blair and Susan is the incessant talk talk talk. And superficially bouncing themselves off others. While Susan is a good person no doubt, she has no dark or devious intents at all, I cannot gel with her because she behaves like a freaking tornado whirlwind everytime she enters the room, complete with the overbearing, icky smelling “old lady perfume” as I call it. “Chaos has entered the chat.” O.o Truly. (Funny enough…my cousin Debbie back in the day referred to my Aquarius so-called mother as a “tornado” as well when she’d enter the room, with all her amped up talk talk talk and spazzy behavior.) It’s EXHAUSTING for me as the feminine, leveled, sensitive/soulful Water sign sun, Earth moon. Susan is never NOT hyped up, loud and incessantly chattering about superficial nonsense, including saying random weird shit and repeating herself multiple times, round and round, over and over. Totally chaotic, unfocused/spazzy, doesn’t listen, AT all, just “me! me! me!” and VERY dominating/ego-based, all the time, steering all conversation back onto herself. She’s the type who’ll ask you how your weekend went….you give an honest-ish type of answer, “It’s alright…just trying to keep myself de-stressed right now due to health issues going on….” and she’ll just stare back….then launch into a pointless hyped up story about how her internet was out! Comcast was at her house replacing parts! They were there for hours! But it got fixed! And the guy was so nice about it! So that’s how my weekend went!!!…. “me! me! me! me! me!”
And in this real life example it’s interesting because I never normally talk about anything personal, but for once decided to give an honest, though still vague type of answer, though still keeping it light-ish, not heavy, ‘cause why not. Her reaction was not a surprise to me based on multiple past exchanges with her. It’s to the point where somebody could probably say that they just got diagnosed with three months to live and it would be like “That’s nice! Let’s talk for twenty minutes about random kooky bizarre nonsense pertaining to ME!!!!! ME! ME! MEEEE!!!”
But I can see how other Air and Fire signs with their energetic, chatterbox, extroverted/social and emotionally light personalities would have no issue with her personality, and would actually find me to be the weird one they’re not drawn to. Trust me, I know. ;) I’m definitely aware that the criticisms go both ways and that I’m not a lot of people’s cup of tea, being that I’ve befuddled and put off (many times very consciously/deliberately) my fair share of people along the way in life. Because I was actually trying to get them away from me, and establish my boundaries. “Nooooooo…you are not somebody I want to be engaging with.” Cue the restrained, reticent behavior on my part, those invisible walls going up, until they get the hint, and find somebody else to talk at and bounce themselves off of.
Some examples of kooky/weird famous Aquariuses – Cross dressing Harry Styles (2/1), who is CLEARLY marching to his own drummer. Paris Hilton (2/17) – probably exemplifies every Aquarian trait there is all rolled into one, including being the “boss lady,” overseeing multiple product lines, as one can tell from just the trailer alone of her documentary This is Paris. And the big side hobby is DJ’ing, which is typically a guy’s thing. In the Aries section I talk about my Aries female work friend Stacy from 1999 in SoCal whose hobby was DJing at underground clubs in Hollywood, which is typically a male’s domain, especially back in the 90s. It’s very common to see any of the masculine Air and Fire sign females engaging in male hobbies and pursuits as I’ve learned and seen firsthand. And with Air sign Paris there’s something very cold and masculine there, energy-wise, despite looking like a Barbie doll. Meanwhile she didn’t start having babies until her early 40s, via surrogates no less, they’re being raised full time by nannies. And then recently in the mainstream news there were stories about Paris’ latest reality show where she admitted on camera that she’d never even changed her own son’s diaper despite him being over a month old. Had to have other people show her what to do…..again, over a month into his life. Then proceeded to gag and talk about how disgusting it smelled. “Guess I should learn how to change this thing….Guess I should probably pick him up now…..” was the attitude. Completely disconnected and cold as ice, lacking any maternal instincts, which is what I’ve unfortunately witnessed of multiple Aquarian women when they’re manifesting the worst aspects of their sign.
And then there’s Oprah Winfrey (1/29) – total weirdo. Enough said. (Can’t stand her, not a fan.) But what was I saying about Aquariuses being one of the most chatty signs of the zodiac? And being Power Bosses? That’s about as Oprah as you can get. For many years she had her own magazine in every checkout stand in America with herself on the cover every single month. Something that’s rubbed myself and a lot of astute people the wrong way about Oprah, as I’ve seen online in comments, is that when she was interviewing people back in the day she was constantly interrupting, due to her Boss Lady ego getting in the way of everything, and her entire approach in general was always cold and disconnected. There’s no genuine warmth or concern going on. Everything about her is an act. (As also evidenced by her close friendship with convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein, and other implied shenanigans that she’s supposedly gotten up to behind the scenes.) And then we have Ellen Degeneres (1/26). Chat show host with the talk talk talk. Was a Power Boss for two decades. And very cold, weirdo extraordinaire who pretended to be warm and people-loving with that quirky/kooky/free spirit dancing act she always made sure to work into every episode. But as everybody now knows, is actually one of the biggest bullies in Hollywood due to that Power Boss energy. Then Janis Joplin, who could be considered the first female of rock, was on the cusp with Aquarius with a 1/19 birthday, and exemplified a kooky freespirit marching to her own drum in life. But as mentioned earlier, this oddball energy thing I’ve noted about Aquariuses is something that does seem to extend back into early January and even late December, affecting Capricorns in many ways as well. It doesn’t just hard start on 1/21. it’s just that Capricorns have a different way of manifesting it: Feminine, instead of masculine; calm, leveled and pragmatic, due to being an Earth sign, and not AS Power Boss/ego-oriented, due to being Cardinal, versus Fixed. But the kooky is still there in many instances. ;)
The only good things one could say about the aforementioned Oprah or Ellen, and which exemplifies the positive aspect of Aquarius, is being known for charity and humanitarian work…..even if it’s just an act. But there is no doubt they were both known for it when they had their shows. From treating show guests to big freebies, or being involved in various charities, like animal welfare and such. And no doubt, charity and humanitarian interests are a big time positive Aquarian trait. Which weirdly contradicts the inherent emotionally cold/disconnected aspect of their personality. So I’m still trying to figure that one out. !! I can’t make heads or tails of it.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Feminine, Water, Mutable
Pisces are sensitive artists, and psychically intuitive….blah! blah! blah! Sure, but you also never quite know where you stand with a Pisces, unlike other signs that are blunt, straight forward and in your face. There was a Pisces boy that I was friends with back in the mid-90s, named Zach (3/8) who was not only one of the most psychic people I’ve ever known, but also a master of the Artful Dodger routine. Don’t say things straight up. Be indirect. Dodge out of it….but then slip in hints later on out of nowhere of what you know. What does Zach really think about you? Hard to know. Hang in there long enough and maybe you can put the pieces together. ;) Meanwhile as he just drifted away into a life of drugs and homelessness. Actively refusing with full self awareness to be a participant in this whacked ass world. Or as some people may interpret it – being weak, and giving up. One of the funny things I remember Zach referencing was his “Alcoholic Scorpio friend” that he was supposed to be going on an impulsive road trip with. This stuck with me, and I would later come to discover the “Scorpio Alcoholic” thing is VERY real, which we’ll be touching on later. Another aspect of Zach that’s “Classic Pisces” was the way he was lover, not a fighter. He had no interest in fighting and conflict. Just chilling with people, observing, and all the while effortlessly attracting in females. Total girl magnet, not only because of his good looks, but because of his calm, enigmatic, soulful personality.
Years ago one of the Big Cheese bosses at my job in Cville was a Pisces, and his admin assistant Blair nicknamed him Eeyore, because he had this mopey faced energy all the time. OMG. Nailed it. THAT’S Pisces Boy energy, right there.
At a recent former job there were three mopey faced, Eeyore Pisces Boys working there. One time two of them, Victor and Ramon, took turns describing to me (in good fun) their purposeful defeated voice they use when answering the phone for their customer service calls. Both guys standing there with their arms hanging down slack, faces looking like Eeyore, voices sounding like they’re about to slit their wrists as they did their exaggerated imitations for me. But hey, at least they were self aware with humor. Both of those guys were very obese (each were 300-400 pounds at least, eating their feelings, same as the third Eeyore Pisces guy who worked in a different department), and both of them were constantly joking around to deal with their depressive natures. (I called Ramon the Sad Clown for that reason. Not to his face, but to myself.) And Victor’s female Sagittarius supervisor once referred to him as a “drama queen” in a humorous but eye rolling way when we were talking, in reference to his occasional childish, pouty, temper tantrum meltdowns. Literally turning his phone off and sitting back with his arms folded, having a meltdown that NO! he’s not going to answer his phone anymore! NO! I won’t do it! Refusing to do his job that he was being paid to do, which was a customer service rep. This guy was in his 50s, but always having emotional toddler tantrums. Masculine fire signs like Sag, including the females, don’t have time for Water sign whiny/weak sensitive drama theatrics and pouty meltdowns, like Victor was prone to. !!
So even though Pisces can have good natured personalities they’re still emotionally sensitive, and the males can definitely put forth a noticeable feminized/soft, weak, and even mopey energy, even when they’re a manager or boss. (At another recent job there was a new manager named James overseeing things underneath the owner, and he was a good natured, friendly, nice, but obese and gay, very soft Pisces, who even once laughingly said “I want to eat my feelings right now!!” when he was under some personal stress. He talked about how he’s had “a very unhealthy relationship with food” and resorted to the lap band to help slim down, after getting up to over 400 pounds. I was just like “woooww….” marveling to myself about how the Matrix Personality Stamp Strikes Again. O.o At the time I was talking to him in that moment he’d gotten himself down to about 250, so was making progress.)
At my current job my now former immediate supervisor was a 55 year old double Pisces, sun AND moon (3/18) named Cheri, year of the Rooster, and who admittedly got on my absolute last nerve with her neediness and emotional sensitivity. Again, we’re talking double whammy here, so it was a doozy of a situation. So this is a GREAT example. For starters she was the weakest of the water signs as the Mutable, but in a boss position that she didn’t belong in and couldn’t handle. So why was she seeking out such positions in life? You can thank her (egotistical, bossy, dominating) Year of the Rooster for that, along with her being a Life Path 1. So this is a great example of why I will keep reiterating how important it is to never just focus exclusively on a person’s sun sign. These other factors made her desire the managerial positions, wanting to be a boss and dominate, but for all the wrong, ego-based reasons, when meanwhile her sensitive Mutable Pisces sun and Moon couldn’t actually handle it. The couple of times there was a problem erupting in the office building where we work that she had to be directly involved in she would fall apart at the seams emotionally – all wound up at anybody who would listen, repeating herself over and over, going in these hyped up shrill circles, just kind of “losing it.” Very weak and UN-boss like.
The Pisces part of her configuration caused her to be slippery and dodgy, so you couldn’t trust her because she didn’t act in a straight forward manner. Nice to people’s face, then whining/complaining and talking shit behind their backs. Also very un-boss like. Another trait was trying to posture herself as the “Smother Hen” above me. Considering I’m almost 50 myself, and a Fixed/“power boss” Scorpio sun (and cool headed, detached, analytical Virgo moon, with Year of the feisty/daring/brave Tiger, among other placements that result in an emotionally strong, capable, take charge personality) means that doesn’t go over well with me, AT all. So this inability to get me under her thumb/drag me down as the even weaker, and even more sensitive and needy female below her that she could “counsel” and whine/co-miserate with was a MAJOR bone of contention between us since Day 1. (At one point she literally told me that she wanted me to feel like I could go into her office every day to vent or cry – those words – if need be about anything going on in my life or at work. I just looked at her like she was insane. Why would anybody do that??) So I wouldn’t play the role she needed me to play as the weak, needy, helpless ingenue looking up to her, which would thus validate her as being the Smother Hen in Charge.
Not only that, but for probably the first four months of the six and a half months she ended up being here she was always badgering me about whether I was okay or not – Are you okay?? Are you okay?? What’s wrong?? Is everything alright? Oh my God what’s wrong?!? to the point where it was bordering on actual harassment. I’m just bopping along living my life and doing my job, feeling great, but I had this weirdo projecting onto me every single day that there were problems with me that she clearly needed to help me with. O.o Something that she even took to our boss, trying to convince him that basically “Carissa has problems. There’s problems with Carissa. Carissa is a problem.” O.o (This is the same boss guy I make mention of in the Aries section, whom I pinpointed as being Aries straight out the gate because his primary motivation in life is being combative. Though ultimately him and I get on well, because I understand his energy and know how to navigate him. Same as my bestie back in the day, Mike, mentioned throughout this writeup, my boss is also specifically an Aries, Year of the Pig. His moon is Cancer, whereas Mike’s moon was between Cancer and Gemini. Me and my boss got on really well straight away in my interview, and I was offered the job only two hours later, despite being told they would make a decision sometime the following week. Astrology is very real, let me tell you. The more you start paying attention the more you’ll notice these repeating patterns of people either immediately getting along or immediately being repelled by each other, and where it turns out they have the same astrological configurations in common. The big difference though between Mike and my boss is that my boss is a Life Path 1 – the boss number, as we’ll see in this writeup, a repeating Life Path number for so many supervisors I’ve had in life – whereas Mike was a fun/adventure/stimulation oriented 5, same as me.)
But Cheri’s inability to get me under her thumb became such a problem that at only two months in she attempted to pull a full on power play – this was the Rooster and Life Path 1 parts trying to exert themselves – and throw me under the bus to get rid of me. Either get me to quit on my own/drive me out, or get the head boss guy to fire me. Behind my back she had arranged a big meeting between her, me and the big boss guy. When she asked me to leave my desk and go with her upstairs for this infamous meeting I asked her three times in a puzzled way what was going on….but she couldn’t look me in the eyes. Dodgy, and outright lied three times that everything was fine, I’m not in trouble, etc. But that’s exactly what I was. (I already knew this meeting was going to happen back when she first started, in the same way I knew she would be gone by six months, as I even told Tom. I’m very intuitive and have talked about that throughout my writings. But I wanted to hear what she had to say….and she chose to lie, dodge and avoid.)
The head boss guy however wasn’t onboard with her machinations. It was like a bad case of Melrose Place, only played for nice. In this case being the sneaky underhanded female playing the role of “Concerned Citizen,” all innocent and sweetness and light, claiming there was a problem, there’s problems with Carissa, and she’s concerned, and just wants me to be able to be the best version of myself that I can be, she just wants what’s best for everybody….when meanwhile no problems existed. In fact back during the holidays I’d gotten over $800 in cash, checks and gift cards from various tenants in the building, along with gifts. That’s how much there WEREN’T problems with me. Meanwhile tenants were either indifferent to her or straight up didn’t like her. The real reason for her insistence that I was full of so-called “problems” was solely due to her ego being bruised. (there was also major issues stemming from me being competent and knowing the job, and office building up and down and in and out, while she was still new, massively incompetent and making mistakes left and right because her head wasn’t in the game, and she wasn’t taking anything seriously or trying to remember anything she was told/shown. Just always asking me for answers, information and help, even though she was told everything numerous times, and provided all the how-to documents, and when she’s supposed to be the boss, “above” me. That became just as much of an issue for her for the entire time she was there. The balance of power was inverted. She wanted clear cut delineations of “above and below,” and it literally couldn’t be that, because I’m the one who primarily trained her. She even ranted to the Facilities Manager one time about me behind my back, all in a tizzy. “She should never correct me about anything! Even if I AM wrong! It doesn’t matter!! She should never correct me!” O.o So apparently I should have just kept quiet and let her keep screwing up and doing all the wrong things, pissing off all the building tenants….so long as the correction is coming from me, the lowly person who’s “beneath” her. < eyeroll >) That trait was pure Year of the Rooster, all the way. Fueled by the sensitive/feelings-oriented Pisces. But basically that meeting was her trying to usurp the female that she either views as competition and/or who’s bruising her sensitive ego, and doing so by misrepresenting things that had happened and selectively cherry picking “evidence” in a disingenuous way, and leaving out bits and pieces that would have immediately contradicted what she was claiming. I put up a good fight though to both her and our boss, but while keeping calm, collected and professional. She would just keep skipping past things because she had a pre-determined agenda.
All was vindicated four months later though when the same head boss guy became so disgruntled with her that he offered me her job three times. :D My how the tables had turned on her. (I declined. Too much to get into here. I still wound up getting an appreciation raise though. My boss has been continually trying to make up for Cheri’s attempt at driving me out/getting me fired months ago and the fact he even let her call that meeting in the first place, and let her have her say as if she was somebody to give credence to. He’s regretful and actually embarrassed at this point.)
Cheri’s other major trait was oversharing everything going on in her life and every problem she had….from the first hour of her first day on the job when I was training her and showing her the ropes. Endless talk talk talk about personal issues, so we could be sensitive together and full of caring and sharing I guess. And by endless talk talk talk I mean HER endlessly talking. At me. Never listening. Eyes glazed over, not seeing me or viewing me as a real person, just caught up in her own world, like she was asleep in a dream. You couldn’t get a word in with her. Meanwhile I’m just thinking Yeah….I’m here to do my job. O.o So this was somebody who prioritized emotions/feelings, socializing and who needed constant social validation and “bonding.” I don’t. So there was already that conflict right there, from the first hour of our training. I’m friendly and often peppy and cheerful, but ultimately prioritize the job and tasks at hand. Meanwhile her head was NOT in the game from day 1, and never improved, and yet she was being put into a position of being above me, some rando off the street. Which really irked me, again, as the Power Boss Scorp. Nobody should be above me unless they’re truly better/higher than me and know more than me. And she wasn’t, and didn’t.
By the end of Cheri’s time there she was in the throws of a full on emotional breakdown (and I mean that sincerely – like actual mental/emotional breakdown) because of some personal issues that everybody was in agreement were being way over exaggerated. Constant “Trauma Drama” is something that would come to define her. Everything was always some trauma drama with her. But as the weak/Mutable water sign it makes sense that it was all just too much to handle. She’d whittled herself down to a part time schedule, but then started flaking out on even those part time days claiming “I’m just under so much stress right now! I’m having a hard time coping! I’m feeling overwhelmed!” blah blah blah. You want to talk about problems…..who’s the one with problems now? !! She was always the one with problems though, I was just the scapegoat she wanted to project onto and divert attention onto. She turned into the Pisces Eeyore cliche, where any conversation with anybody was all about her woes, unnecessarily trying to lean on everybody and energy vampirizing everybody. Pretending she was about to cry all the time, talking in an exaggerated shrill “I’m losing it!” voice with a crazy look on her face while saying things that were blatantly fishing for attention and sympathy, being manipulative. (yes…..expecting sympathy and attention from me….the chick she’d tried to drive out or get fired months earlier. It was unreal.)
It just became a whole situation, but luckily after only six and a half months she was gone. (After we all learned she was abruptly quitting on a Friday morning and not coming back it was like a weight was lifted off of everybody. You could visibly see and hear it with both my boss, as well as the Facilities Manager guy. Faces brighter and smiley, full of energy and pep, voices louder, in good moods, cracking jokes. It was so tangible as soon as everybody got the word that this bad hiring decision that had caused so many problems for the past six months was finally gone. I hadn’t seen these two guys be this happy and energized in ages, truly. My boss has reiterated several times, “Good riddance!” “That’s the biggest good riddance ever!!” etc.) But it was nothing but the absolute worst of the Pisces base energy stamp (along with Rooster traits) when there’s nothing higher overriding anything, no self awareness, and a person is just acting/reacting mindlessly, as if in a dream.
It’s interesting to me because all astrology books will tell you that any Water sign pairs best with other Water. Hard no to that, at least in my own case. (And that hard no includes Cancers in many instances as well.) But I also don’t like people who are cold/unfriendly to the point of being rude tough asses. Too far in the other extreme direction. Turns out for me my best pairing are the leveled Earth signs. As noted, IMO some of what we’re told in astrology, especially with regards to who pairs best together, is inaccurate, and for various reasons I’ll be mentioning throughout this writeup. Namely….have to factor in the rest of one’s chart, and ideally their Eastern signs as well. I tend to think that in general, too much of the same is never a good fit. People need something to offset themselves.
The sensitivity factor also translates into the way Pisces often look in many instances, touched on in the opening of this write up. Pisces is a feminine water sign, and being born under a feminine sign usually affects the looks. When it’s a female then it doesn’t stand out, because it’s in alignment. But when it’s a dude then you can really see it more. And as I’ve noticed, males of the feminine sign persuasions (Scorpio, Cancer, Pisces, Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo) can often have rounded, soft, sometimes even feminized facial features. Tim Poole of the TimCast podcast was the example cited earlier that I was able to pinpoint recently at first glance as being a feminine sign. And as it turns out, he’s a March 9th Pisces.
Contrasting the common rounded, soft featured, even feminine looking male Pisces face with other feminine sign faces, with Scorpio for instance the difference is going to be in the eyes. Those scrutinizing, but sometimes creepy, even menacing Scorpio eyes clue you in straight away. O.o Pisces eyes are going to lack that. Pisces is either mopey Eeyore, or just pleasant, and kind of soft and feminine I’ve noticed. Maybe a little bit Puppy Dog. The softer, rounded male Taurus face that I mention multiple times in the Taurus section is going to be more stone faced. Just kind of fixedly staring at you with a slight frown even. Intense, and looking like their mental wheels are spinning and they’re deep in intense thought. I cite a few great examples in the Taurus section to look into.
Pisces’ standout trait though amongst the Water signs is not really knowing where you stand with them, and the way they can be so avoidant/passive in that regard. The Artful Dodger Routine, mentioned earlier. (Scorpio meanwhile, the strongest of the water signs as a Fixed sign…….you’ll definitely know where you stand with them. Especially if they don’t like you. They’re full of feelings too, just like Pisces, but they don’t hide them, and are absolutely NOT defined by avoidant/passive/dodgy weak, aka….Mutable….behavior.)
A good famous example of a Pisces in action would be Rebel Wilson (March 2nd ) back when she was very much overweight. For starters her body exemplified something you often see with Pisces. But then there’s how she behaves in interviews from back then. Low key, wry/deadpan self deprecating personality that’s hanging back in her seat, having fun just sort of slipping and sliding her way through questions, rolling with it all. Does she truly like the interviewer she’s speaking with and is she actually enjoying the experience? Who knows. Maybe. Maybe not. ;) But it’s definitely NOT a high energy, leaning forward in her seat, dominating personality by any means. And from what I’ve seen, many water signs in general, be it Scorpio or Cancer, also interview in much the same way. Lower key, sometimes deadpan and often self deprecating, cracking jokes at their own expense. It’s part of the whole sensitive, feminine, introspective aspect of the Water signs. As mentioned earlier, all signs share multiple traits in common with their fellow “elemental brethren,” which is why the deductive reasoning process starts with honing in on Air/Earth/Fire/Water traits. But they each differ in their level of power/drive and prime motivations.
Also as far as Pisces males are concerned, they can be those guys who find themselves being taken care of by their women (and even their female friends) who wind up doubling as a Mommy figure for them. Again, probably due to being a Mutable/weak sign. That was the dynamic that Zach and I had. He was four years younger than me, born in ’78, so I viewed him as a substitute little brother, and was always looking out for him whenever we hung out. Making sure he had food, driving him around if he was too high to function, all the while keeping a protective eye on him, etc. And he enjoyed every second of it, shamelessly since his own mother had thrown him away at sixteen. Looking for that substitute Mom or Big Sister. Meanwhile my real little brother whom I’d helped raise had been taken out of my life, so I was in search of the substitute to take care of. The Fixed/Power Boss Scorpio instinctively taking on the role of caretaker/babysitter/protector/etc. for the weak Mutable Pisces. A pattern repeated countless times in many romantic, friend or family relationships the world over.
When I was researching for this write up high profile celebs who’ve been arrested and/or charged and convicted for sex assault claims, as well as all time famous serial killers, it was Pisces, along with Virgo, that had a higher than average representation happening. (I looked into all kinds of things when researching astrology for this project. “Stand up comedians! Singers! World leaders!! Serial killers!!!” :D ) And we’re not just talking the lone woman who comes forward and makes a one off “he assaulted me” claim. I’m talking more substantial allegations, involving a repeated history of violent rape, and sometimes involving accusations of pedophilia/kiddie porn and all around debauched perversion. So we’re talking about the heavy players. Harvey Weinstein (3/19) a serial rapist and abuser of power; Josh Dugger (3/3) who not only molested all his sisters but was finally busted and locked up for possessing the absolute worst of the worst violent and depraved kiddie porn on his work computer; Danny Masterson (3/13) a serial rapist who was protected by Scientology for years but was also finally busted and sent to prison; Ron Jeremy (3/12) who doubled as not only a porn star for decades but a serial groper and outright rapist who finally got busted. (but where it was too late, since he supposedly has dementia and is just going to be sent to some facility, leaving prosecutors apologizing to the list of victims for the way justice will never be served.) And for serial killers, which often overlaps with heavy hitter sex crimes, we have John Wayne Gacy (3/17), Dennis “BTK” Rader (3/9), Richard “The Nightstalker” Ramirez (2/29), Aileen Wuornos (2/29) and Otis Toole (3/5).
Like I said in the Virgo section, it doesn’t mean Pisces has the market cornered on this subject, but, just that there was a higher than average representation happening, enough to be considered a possible pattern. When trying to figure out why Pisces of all signs would have this happening maybe more than others the thing that came to mind was “Power,” as mentioned in the beginning. Pisces is, as already noted, a weaker/softer/Mutable sign. Rape is ultimately about power. And especially when people are doing terrible things to children/getting off on kiddie porn. “An inherently weaker person who’s a maladjusted individual on top of it, trying to get back power over those who are even weaker, and more vulnerable.” Doesn’t mean they will be the only signs doing this. But it just means I saw patterns happening in terms of the numbers. (On a sidenote, serial killer stats research is often a moot point from the beginning, once you do your research [like with Dave McGowan’s Programmed to Kill book] and realize that many of the most famous debauched serial killers are manufactured through government MK programs – plucked from the juvee and foster care system to be programmed/repurposed, because there’s an already existing history of extreme abuse/trauma happening that makes them prime candidates; and/or they’re programmed patsies being used as the fallguys to cover up high level Satanic groups. But either way they are often NOT organically developed by any means. But I still looked into the stats out of curiosity.)
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Fire, Masculine, Cardinal
All signs have their downside, but in general I like the Aries energy so long as it’s manifesting the more positive, fun loving aspect of things. Fiery and energetic, rebellious, full of life and fight, always butting their heads into everything, just like the Ram that represents them. The contrarian, playing devil’s advocate in a conversation just because it’s fun to create conflict. Or just being mischievous, or downright obnoxious in general, but usually in a fun loving way. And often down for crazy, spur of the moment adventures. Tell an Aries “NO” about anything?? Watch out. That’s a direct challenge. And I live for it. ;) It’s because an Aries’ prime motivation is rebellion above all else.
Aries as mentioned at the beginning is the “secondary leader” Cardinal sign, so when doing research for this write up I saw that, no surprise, Aries was highly represented for all time most famous male and female singers, all genres, including rap, going back to the early 20th century, biggest name actors and actresses, as well as stand up comics, and things of that nature. Again, no surprise, since Aries is a dynamic, masculine “go getter” fire sign. They give other signs a run for their money for a lot of things performance-related.
A lot of the more notorious “Hollywood Bad Boys” have all been Aries. The really masculine guys, who are sometimes even punching out paparazzi and being hellraisers in bars and whatnot, including unfortunately being women beaters in some instances. Offhand what comes to mind for that profile is Russell Crowe (4/7), Steven Seagal (4/10), Alec Baldwin (4/3) Steve McQueen (3/24), Marlon Brando (4/3) and Ryan O’Neal (4/20). Steven and Alec even look very much the same. Not a coincidence, as we’ll learn throughout this write up. And in my research I saw that Anton LaVey, the founder of the Church of Satan, was April 11th, smack in the heart of Aries. No surprise I realized. The primary Aries motivation of “rebelling” fits exactly in that situation. Trying to rebel against religion/Christianity, morals, and anything traditional society related in general. “Be shocking! Be contrarian! Stir controversy! Butt the head against anything normal! Look, I’m doing it!! I’m pissing people off!!! haHA!!!!” < eye roll >
Speaking of looking the same, I’ve noticed that Aries can have a distinct look. So much so that it’s tipped me off IMMEDIATELY in multiple cases, male and female, that somebody is an Aries. Only to get confirmation afterwards that yes, indeed they are. When they do manifest the look it’s something that can go two ways, but which are often intertwined: something harsher and sharper/“pointy,” which gives their faces a more stern bird-like/reptile-like appearance, and that goes for both the males and females; and/or a hyper masculinization, which again, can go for both the males and females. You’ll often see the thin lips, stronger noses (whether pointy, or just large and pronounced) more pronounced chins (so between the nose and chin they have that strong side profile going on) recessed or even beady eyes that may be too small and out of proportion to the rest of the face, which in itself may be running on the larger size, either in terms of width or length, a heavier/pronounced browbone in the males, and ears that may stick out. Going to be straightforward here – Aries can be a discombobulated energy. This discombobulation not only can manifest in a combative, hotheaded personality that gets very rebellious and even punchy, but it can also manifest in the looks. So there can be a pronounced lack of the balanced “phi ratio” going on in terms of the placement and size of facial features in relation to each other.
I can try to describe it ‘til the cows come home, but as I note later on in the Scorpio section, pictures speak a thousand words. So just like I wound up doing with the Scorpios I put together a collage of famous Aries who, IMO, are manifesting the repeating Aries features/look that I’ve noticed. (Make sure to click on the image to zoom in in order to see things better…) The collage isn’t in any particular order, though many pics are grouped together due to likeness. But not every picture is placed that way. All the pictures do have a common underlying thread and show multiple aspects of the profile just described. When cross comparing to the Scorpio collage the differences between the two are plain as day, and should make it obvious to newbies or skeptics. I was hard pressed to find any Scorpios that looked like what people will see in the Aries collage. And I was hard pressed to find Aries that were conveying the level of intense, emotions-based feelings via their eyes like what you see repeatedly with the Scorps. But that’s because they’re very different energies – masculine Fire, vs. feminine Water.
Multiple people featured in this collage are ones that I pinpointed as being Aries immediately (Adam Scott, David Tennant, Kate Micucci, Adrien Brody and Vincent Gallo, to name a few) once I realized the pattern, and then came across their visage after that in my travels. Now that I was aware I was like OMG!!! (insert me pointing at them on my computer screen.) And let me tell you – this collage could have gone on for days. I have more pics I could have included that definitely fit the profile with the pronounced browbones, recessed/too small eyes, ears that stick out and pronounced noses and chins, etc., the total profile up and down, including some of the names already mentioned above but which readers will see don’t appear in the collage, but it was just getting too big. I had to draw the line at some point. !!
My good friend Mike from years ago, who was born 4/1/71, would definitely be included on this list of “The Distinct Aries Male Look,” due to having these exact type of features. Our mutual “friend” Julie back in the day nicknamed him “Lizard Boy” behind his back because of it. O.o But with his dark brunette hair, white skin, brown eyes, facial hair and distinct facial features (deeper set eyes with the more pronounced browbone, strong nose, thin lips and strong chin) Mike looks like a mashup of multiple guys featured in the collage, if you combined them all together. It’s WILD. (To redeem the Julie comment, which even at the time in ’95 I didn’t think was nice so I never told him she said that, let’s just say that when Mike first met his future wife she thought he was one of the hottest guys she’d ever seen. He was exactly her type, including who he is as a person, so cue the wedding bells down the line.)
But that is why I get into this, as “mean” as some people may think I’m being. I say this all matter-of-factly, because it plays into a much larger concept that I touch on throughout this write up – the fact that multiple horoscope signs are absolutely manifesting certain looks in many instances, something that doesn’t make sense if “constellations at the time of birth” is the real explanation. For me to be able to look at somebody and immediately KNOW, correctly, what month they were born? And to do something like that more than once? With different signs? For both males and females? Then something very interesting is happening here, and it doesn’t behoove us to ignore it because it may come off as mean.
Skeptics would have a field day with this idea though, and I totally understand why – because strictly speaking, if a phenomenon isn’t manifesting itself 100% across the board in all examples then it’s not a legit phenomenon. And clearly, not every Aries is going to look like the examples I provided. So I get what the holes are in this idea. But as we’ll see as we make our way through the twelve signs, there are repeating patterns happening often enough, that are distinct enough, that it’s enabled me to correctly pinpoint people’s birthdays, sometimes even recognizing people’s “astrological samesies” down to the day, based solely on looks. So in this case I have to say, even as a very logical-minded person, that despite this phenomenon not manifesting 100% of the time in every case, it doesn’t mean there isn’t something to it. It just means we’re missing some pieces of the puzzle as to why it doesn’t happen 100% of the time.
Off the top of my head it may be that other parts of somebody’s astrology is overriding or muting the Aries component, especially if very strongly represented in their charts. (There are people with lopsided charts that may have three or four planets for instance bunched up in one sign, which probably has an affect on more than one thing, including looks. I’m somebody with three planets in Libra for example, and then the Sun and two planets in Scorpio, while completely lacking any representation in any capacity of five entire signs. One of which happens to be Aries. So I don’t have some nice, evenly distributed chart. There’s some clumps. And that’s actually the case for a lot of people.) But if various parts of our charts can evenly tie with, or even override our sun signs in terms of influencing our personality traits, as outlined in detail at the beginning of this write up, then the same logic may apply to overriding or influencing our looks as well. Just depends on an individual’s chart. Not only that, but there may be even more factors at work here, celestial or otherwise, that haven’t even been discovered yet. Stuff beyond just Sun, Moon and Planets.
But getting back to the personality traits….. Aries, including those with an Aries moon, can be a blast to hang around with if, IMO, they’re manifesting the positive aspects of their fun and rebellious energy. As somebody who lives for people who have actual energy and life to them, willing to go against the grain of life, I’m usually all for it. One of my fave coworkers back in the day from ’99-2000 in SoCal was an April 9th Aries named Stacy, whom I called my Partner in Crime (Aries make great partners in crime) and hung with outside of work. In a sea of fake, bland, boring people in richy-rich Orange County, CA Stacy was real. And in true punchy Aries fashion, dabbled on the side as a professional dominatrix O.o and loved being able to knock guys around and walk on them with her stilettos. (And not the only Aries female I’ve known by the way who’s used stilettos as a weapon on guys. !) Among her other pursuits, including DJ’ing at underground clubs in Hollywood, which is typically a male domain, especially back in the 90s. She’d come to work after a night of clubbing/DJ’ing, to the executive suites in Newport Beach where we both worked as admin girls, emerging from the elevator with an “oh HELL no…” >:/ look, locking eyes on me as she headed straight for me at the reception desk, then plop down a giant bag of Wild Berry Skittles next to me for us to share. Then make a beeline to the breakroom for black coffee. We both were also into making our own jewelry and even did a Saturday working a booth together at the Swap Meet in Westminster selling our wares.
All the other girls I worked with, as nice as they were, never did or said anything interesting. So you can see why it was an immediate gravitation thing for me when Stacy started, considering my own astrology/numerology and resulting personality. We were both dynamic. On a sidenote: Stacy’s Capricorn moon certainly manifested itself in the sense that she had a simultaneously subdued/leveled and even melancholic disposition running parallel to the rebellious, punchy, contrarian Aries, with a major bent towards the Occult/Wicca, Halloween/Mexican Day of the Dead, etc. etc. Same as my half sister with the Cap moon, touched on later in the Libra section, who had this weird inclination to pursue dark occult shit as a young teen that had me going “Girl whaaaaaat?!? O.o”
And it’s why me and Mike worked so well as friends. He always knew that if he was ready to stay up and keep going in the night I’d be game. GREAT partner in crime. ha The epitome of which was demonstrated on the first day I moved in with him and his other guy roommates, in the house they were all “renting” in Mission Viejo, CA. I needed a place to stay, so Mike offered to have me crash on his floor. And after I was settled in he let me know that Uh yeah….by the way…..this house we’re living in was obtained illegally. We take over houses that have been repossessed by banks, and live here until the banks find out and send in the cops to drive us off. These people named Henry and Patty are the ones who find these repossessed houses for us to move into, and the rent that we pay actually goes to them. Then proceeded to ask…..So….do you still want to stick around?
I’m sure readers can guess what my answer was. “Aries partner in crime, here I come….!” And yeah…there was definitely cop dodging going on in that situation. “Hey, we can laugh about it now because we’re okay!….” ;D O.o
Mike is one of those perfect examples though of what I mentioned at the beginning, about how other aspects of our astrological charts, including our Chinese astrology and our numerology, can explain why we may hit it off/click with people who we technically “shouldn’t.” Mike’s an Aries Sun, Cancer/Gemini Moon. (I’ve seen different sources say one or the other, leading me to believe that the moon must have been between both signs at the time he was born.) If we’re going to go with Gemini moon then that’s about the worst match possible for a Scorpio Sun, Virgo Moon. But we were both Life Path 5s, something I’ll be drilling down on later. Meanwhile I was also year of the Tiger, with Leo rising and planets in Libra and Sagittarius. So there were multiple other aspects of my chart and numerology that caused me to gel really well with Mike overall.
All that aside though, admittedly I have said that Aries is the worst sign, hands down, for a female. I’ve known multiple Aries females who were carrying on like dudes, and experiencing a rough go in life – because it’s a masculine fire sign with that penchant for rebelling, fighting and being a contrarian. (And that goes for the moons as well. As mentioned later on in the Virgo section, I was confused when I found out singer P!nk was a Virgo, because I was POSITIVE she was an Aries, based on her masculine behavior, presentation and stage performance, and the lyrics of her songs, which are often about being a strong, empowered female and rebelling in general. But guess what……I wasn’t actually wrong. She’s an Aries moon as I learned when I looked things up online.)
But April Aries chicks in my experience have been the girl who wants to get a full on hysterectomy as a teen, already knowing she’s never going to have kids and be the girly-girl; trying repeatedly to be a firefighter, and getting rejected because guess what, she’s NOT actually a dude and is too tiny to handle the heavy equipment despite how she may feel internally about herself; and the girls getting into mad squabbles with other girls, wanting to punch people out. It’s nuts. Awhile back I read this anecdote online being relayed by (calm, steady, leveled, peacemaker Taurus) Tori Spelling, describing a moment on the set of “Beverly Hills 90210” when Aries Jenny Garth (4/3) and Aries Shannon Doherty (4/12) got into mad squabbles…..that they had to take outside the studio, trying to fight each other out back. O.o Meanwhile as Tori was in the middle, trying to broker the peace deal. Tori was fully aware of the astrology component to this entire dynamic, which was exactly why she was mentioning it in the interview.
Years ago at this one job I had here in south Florida, the part-time, 50-something bookkeeper named Beth was a very obnoxious April Aries. (Later I’ll be referencing another employee from this job named Nicole, since she was a textbook Libra caricature.) It got to the point that when I’d see Beth walking through the parking lot on the days she came into the office I’d go “ughhhhhh!!!!” to myself and bail out, find somewhere else to be, so I didn’t have to deal with her big mouth obnoxious, attention demanding, energy vampire antics when entering the office. It was the “LOOK AT ME!” Beth Clown Show every time she showed up. (and I wasn’t the only one pissed off by it.) She was also manifesting…..very discombobulated outer looks that matched the inner aggro energy. But once she realized she was annoying me did it make her stop? HELL no. It made her worse. Sparked the rebellious contrarian aspect of Aries whose mindset is, Oh, do I ANNOY you? Now I’m gonna DOUBLE DOWN on it!!! FUCK you!!!! O.o (insert figurative fists punching the air and ramming the figurative ram head into everything.) And so she preceded to actually became intermittently bully-ish towards me specifically (because she knew I was at the bottom of the totem pole in the office, so therefore it was safe), rather than taking a good look at herself.
But this illustrates another good point: Aries at their worst can not only be bullies, but also may not take responsibility for their aggressive, bullying ways, and instead may selfishly double down on it like Beth did.
One of the most aggressively psycho women I ever had the unfortunate experience of working alongside (luckily for only a few days) was a 50 year old April Aries, Year of the Dragon named Robin. BAD, BAAAAAD combination for a female, holy shit. O.o But we’ll be getting back to the whole Eastern astrology thing later, as mentioned, including the specific Aries Dragon configuration. And this psycho – who was in her 50s, mind you – prided herself on the fights she tried to get into with other adult females, bragging about getting up in their faces, cussing them out and insulting them. (clarification – women who were at their places of employment, where Robin, the aggro bully, knew it was safe to get up in their faces, because these women couldn’t fight back, or else risk losing their jobs. :/ VERY bully.)
And you know how I know? Because Robin made sure to re-enact these fights to me….when none of the higher up boss guys were around, of course. :/ Massive bully/predator behavior right there. Wait til “the little temp girl” you could say is alone doing work in one of the offices, then stand in the doorway, striking up a conversation with me, talking AT me about all these fights that she loved to get into with other women. Full on (one sided) role playing the fights to me, lost in her own deranged, bully world as I sat minding my own business, trying to do my job. Cussing “me” out and delivering threats with nasty slur name calling like demon possessed, but pretending I’m one of the other women she’s cussed out, like at the doctor’s office. You know…..to “demonstrate” to me how it all went down. :/ But not truly “seeing” me, just seeing the other women overlaying me, with her glazed over eyes lost in Crazyville.
I just occasionally looked up from the stack of Certificates of Insurance that I was working on for their upcoming audit, nodding vaguely, like, “woooww…yeeaahh….” in a flat, monotone, detached way. Robin’s eyes were black and intense, her face distorted and very ugly. This demon LIVED for conflict, fighting and drama, couldn’t get enough of it, got high on it, and needed to replay it and role play it over, and over…..and over….and over…… Meanwhile around the office she had tacked up sarcastic meme cartoons that were saying combative, “FUCK YOU!” types of things, but said by smiling perfect 1950s looking women, trying to piss off the bosses, daring them to respond. They were all terrified of her so of course they didn’t, from what I could tell during my week there. I also remember her telling me at one point about how she quote, “thrived” in jobs with high stress and problems, and didn’t want a calm, peaceful environment…..after shooting me a harsh, dark and ugly look when I mentioned how I was seeking out something nice for myself after having recently gone through a few very negative job situations. Trying to make me feel like I was a weirdo for wanting peace and niceness. It was just amazing all around to witness this. O.o
The only reason I didn’t pull the plug on the assignment right then and there when Robin was “re-enacting” her fights with other women was because I knew it was literally my last few hours of working with her. She’d be going out of town starting the next day, so I had Wednesday, Thursday and Friday without her, only working for the guys in the office who were all awesome. I’d never see her again ever in life after two more hours. If that hadn’t been the case though….that would have been my last day, not only for the example I just outlined, but for all her other very bad behavior I had to witness for two days.
Robin also bragged to me about listening to Marilyn Manson and Alice in Chains every day, to/from work to get herself “!!!!!” aggro-ized. No surprise. (not only that, but telling me this little factoid with a “YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH WHAT I’M SAYING??” tone and psycho look in her face, hoping for me to respond negatively so she could verbally brawl with me. O.o ) She was just always in constant “dukes up” fight mode. But it was more of that detached, monotone, “woooww…yeeaahh….” thing from me as she told me that factoid. I refused to give her anything for those two days I was trapped alongside her. Same deal with the way she tried to goad me into brawling with her about the hardcore pro-Obama Care and general libtard stance she had. I just stepped over that one too. (These anecdotes are only the half of it. What I experienced from her and witnessed her doing to the guys in the office for those two days could go on for pages. In a nutshell: She specialized in literally terrorizing people and the world in general. She truly needed serious psychological help, and maybe medication.)
Months later, when that company called my agency to see if I specifically was available to come back and work one or two additional days for them, I immediately turned it down when I learned Robin would be around. HARD nope to that. Never stepped foot in that place again. (and in case anybody’s wondering how I knew the exact birthday of some rando psycho chick I worked with for two days at some rando temp job…..I looked her name up on Google. I had her full name, and from there it was too easy to find her public records. Which is how I found that she was born in April of 1964. Yes, how Scorpio of me to do my “internet detective work” on somebody. ;) )
And I do realize that not all Aries, and Aries Dragons, are going to behave THIS psychotically. Robin was truly over the top, in a way that’s rare. The way I view her specifically is this: She had a bad/traumatic upbringing, a small bit of which I was clued into, random things she mentioned to me during our couple of days together. Abusive upbringings create damaged adults who are often carrying around a lot of anger/rage, bitterness, and who usually lack good coping skills and conflict resolution abilities. However, she was also contending with a very aggressive astrological configuration on top of that, the double whammy of Aries and Dragon,which was amplifying the other issues. And it seemed that she had drawn in a few demonic neg attachments on top of that, which were DEFINITELY not helping matters. It was just a bad convergence on all fronts.
But this anecdote represents the downside of Aries – they can absolutely be bullies as mentioned, like punchy, in your face, aggressive bullies who prey on the weak, and in fact seem to be set off by the weak. Including Aries of the older/middle aged persuasion. Age may mellow some of them, but it doesn’t completely eliminate that inner bully. :/ Age certainly never stopped ANY of the Aries Hollywood bad boys we’ve all heard about, some of whom were mentioned at the beginning of this section. (Sure enough…..I just came across this article on the Daily Mail website detailing how Jane’s Addiction frontman Perry Farrell (3/29) got into a full on physical altercation with lead guitarist Dave Navarro, right in the middle of a song. Couldn’t even wait five minutes ‘til the song was over. ;D And Perry is 65 years old. I mean, just….wow. Shortly after this incident the band decided to cancel the entire rest of their tour. Perry is another one I featured in the above linked Aries collage because he’s definitely rockin’ the off kilter Aries looks. A case where the aggressive, combative, discombobulated and off kilter energy happening on the inside definitely matches the outside. On a more serious note Perry looked and acted straight up demon possessed in the vid clip included in the Daily Mail article. It’s very spooky. Required several guys to restrain him, as one got him in a headlock and gave him a few uppercuts to the stomach just to get him to stop. But that’s a whole other side topic, about what performers in the entertainment industry, especially the music industry, get up to behind the scenes to make it to the top. And what that eventually leads to. Perry looks to be an excellent example of that, plus bad Aries energy on top of it. Bad combination.)
And it doesn’t end with Robin and Beth in terms of Nightmare April Aries bully chicks I’ve had to work alongside, or middle aged female Aries who never mellow despite their age. In part 3 of me and Tom’s 8 part podcast series, I get into the subject of a nightmare female former coworker from hell named Terry who was always acting badly towards people in a very bully way, since it related to the complex idea of Karma that Tom and I got into. She was an April 5th Aries. I worked alongside her for four years, when she was 45 – 49 years old. While she could be pleasant, no doubt, she was also a massive bully who selectively preyed on anybody lower than her on the totem pole of life. She specialized in creating conflict with EVERYBDOY, and if none was happening she’d invent it by lying about people to other people. Whatever she had to do to try to manipulate people into fighting, all for her own personal amusement. She LIVED for creating conflict. She was so bad that she’d get dark, jealous and hateful if she saw that anybody around her was happy and living a good life, like doing well financially, happy in their romantic relationships, healthy and full of energy, etc. I forgot about her when originally compiling this write up, then recently realized….hello!……she was a 4/5 Aries.
There was one incident where Terry decided to just go after a copier machine repair guy for NO reason, other than she felt she could, because of his position in life. It was so bad that I pulled him aside and profusely apologized to him for her behavior, then later reprimanded her quietly, but forcefully because I had just freaking HAD it with her. Fixed/Power Boss Scorpio, with year of the Tiger on top of it, all the way. She was technically considered my immediate supervisor but I didn’t give a shit. I was PISSED. She’d never seen that side of me before, and in typical cowardly bully fashion her response to my reprimand/confrontation was huge eyes, then !! huffing !! and literally running away. Seriously. Grabbed her purse and actually ran, not walked, out of the office to flee to her friends in a neighboring department down the hall to talk shit about me behind my back and try to get them against me now.
One of Terry’s big goals that she wanted to do along with her perpetual fiance who wouldn’t actually marry her was to open a strip joint where we lived in Charlottesville, in order to muck up the nice vibes of Cville. Her words. It made her get full of “hehehe!” glee to think of how much it would piss people off and muck up the nice vibes of the community. More Matrix Personality Stamping with the rebellious, contrarian, conflict-oriented Aries energy. :/ And one of her favorite things to do was watch nonstop back to back D-level, straight-to-video freakshow horror movies. The more violent and ugly the better.
In Terry’s case she was also a “Persnickity Bully” weak/Mutable feminine Earth Virgo moon, and born in 1963, which is year of the scared/skittish Rabbit or Cat, depending on whether it’s Chinese or Vietnamese, respectively. So these two elements created a much softer form of bully than say, nutso year of the Dragon Robin, and it’s IMO why her response to my direct, in-your-face confrontation was to literally run away. (I get into the “persnickity bully” aspect of Virgos later on in the Virgo section.) This is an important point readers will see me reiterate repeatedly throughout this write up – the need to factor in the entire astrological configuration, both Eastern and Western. But you can definitely see the overlap Terry shared with Robin – selectively bullying anybody lower than her on the totem pole of life that she knew she could get away with, and with the violent, ugly, demonic freakfare D-level movies she couldn’t get enough of, similar to Robin’s NEED for Marilyn Manson and Alice in Chains on a daily basis.
At my current job my first guess for my male boss was to conclude Aries, when me and several other females I work with were trying to guess what his sign is. Why? Because his primary motivation is being combative, bottom line. Even if he seems in a low key mood there’s always this fiery look in his eyes, and he’s always quietly gunning for an argument with people. Needing to be right at all times, needing to prove people wrong, arguing people into the ground and getting all fired up in general about everything, including stupid shit. He’s driven out multiple people over the years who have to work directly with him, exactly because of these combative, feisty traits that unfortunately delve into full on bullying, and which he seems unable to ever shut off. It’s exhausting. What did throw me a little was his “whiny little bitch” emotional issues, where he’s been known to have temper tantrum meltdowns. (not at me, thankfully, or I wouldn’t continue to work here. I barely have to deal with him ever.) But overall I settled on Aries. Only to learn that his birthday is…….March 22. The first few days of Aries, coming out of sensitive, water sign Pisces. ;) Bingo. So this is a good example of a cusp personality. Somebody who’s born in the first few days of a sign but is displaying some holdover traits of the sign that comes before. I also determined from astro.com that his moon is in Cancer. Another “ahhh…no wonder….” head nodding moment that explained the whiny sensitive little bitch moments he’s been known to have, including running to his mom and having whiny tantrums. (His mother is the ultimate Boss in Charge at this job as the…..Fixed Scorpio Power Boss. ;) Of course. Everybody just playing out their Matrix Personality Stamps.) And you can factor in his Year of the Pig, and Life Path 1 into the mix as well as to why he is the way he is. So many bosses I’ve had over the years have been Life Path 1s, and readers will see me mention this throughout the writeup when discussing various supervisors. It really is a thing. The aforementioned Aries Terry? 4/5/1963? Who was in a pseudo-supervisor role? Also a Lifepath 1.
Retired late night chat show host David Letterman (4/12) is another good example of Aries energy in action, not only in terms of having the Aries looks, but also his personality. In his prime when his show was at its peak he was full of that fire sign energy, but with a major dose of the male Aries jackass. He could definitely be funny, but he was known for getting his kicks and laughs at the expense of his guests, and often couldn’t shut up for five seconds to let them speak because he was so wrapped up in the fun of giving everybody shit. It was all about Dave’s in-your-face ego on that show, not any of the guests. Watching an interview segment with a 20 year old Leonardo DiCaprio (11/11) on his show back in ’95 is a great example of the interplay between a confident, egotistical, high energy masculine fire sign Aries male behaving like a clown and the calmer, softer, but equally confident, charismatic, ego-based “Power Boss” feminine Water sign Scorpio male that doesn’t like somebody continually interrupting and trying to dominate them. The comments say it all, it’s just that obvious.
In general though I will say that I’ve independently concluded that Aries as a whole is the second worst sign of the entire zodiac, next to Scorpio, which is THE worst. Aries can be a rough energy, that’s all I can say. I’ll never forget perusing through Linda Goodman’s very famous book “Love Signs” back in the 90s and getting to the section about males with the Scorpio sun, Aries moon combination. She had nothing good to say about them, only telling ladies to RUN!!! As fast as you can!!! It was pretty much the worst combo she could think of for males in all of astrology. O.o Later on in the Scorpio section I mention a November 10th Scorpio dude (named Andrew) who engaged in a blistering take down of a chick in public, the likes of which I’ve never seen before or since. Yeah…..his moon was Aries. Andrew was everything Linda wrote about, to the LETTER. I know because I hung out with him multiple times, and I had to size him up since he was after me in a romantic way. The ultimate verdict was a hard NO, despite all his charms and charisma, high energy and massive intelligence and ability to make me laugh and keep me engaged. As I described it to myself at the time, Andrew was just too TOO much. Just too MUCH. TOO-MUCH. Way WAY too much of a genuine legit bad boy due to things I’m not even getting into here. I’ve had several boyfriends with Aries moons, and another major flirtation that I fell hard for, discussed in depth in my write up called “The Vortex,” who was a 4/9/74 Aries sun with a Scorpio moon….but none were Scorpio Suns combined with Aries moons. That was the difference. That specific combination is a DOOZY. So the hard no’s were for all the reasons Linda says about his Scorpio-Aries configuration, as I independently saw for myself. It’s too intense, and too much of everything. The worst two signs of the zodiac rolled into one person. On the one hand Andrew was one of the most “unique” and interesting people I’ve ever known to this day…..due to that specific configuration. But at the same time it turns out he was just another Matrix Template Cardboard Cutout Character. :/ As Linda proved.
For the past ~6 years one I’ve been casually acquainted online with an Aries female, who’s mid-30s but not married, with no kids, in typical Aries female fashion, who’s a very aware abductee, and prepper you could say. Not long ago she was getting into adventures by camping on the rural property of somebody she knows to see what it’s like to live outdoors, eschewing standard urban civilization life, while rebelling against many aspects of the mainstream world in general. (And also for the tie-in reason of practicing dodging out of her alien/hybrid abductions. She’s the other Aries mentioned earlier who’s used a stiletto against a threatening male, in this case a hybrid, since she’s an abductee. O.o) It’s the sort of thing that females of other signs aren’t usually getting up to.
The thing that brought me to her awareness in the first place? My writings, which are ultimately about………..Getting knowledge, awareness and becoming empowered against abductors, whether MILABs or non humans. Fighting back. And saying no. And boy does she fight back. Both of us are shit kickers who I’m sure leave marks. And get marks….because we definitely leave them. ;) And it’s no joke when I say how much her hybrid abductors HATE me personally, as she’s relayed, for the influence my stuff has had on her. We both apparently got roughed up by them one night while on a Skype chat. Bruises and scratches out of nowhere, with missing time, you name it. When she did a hypnotic regression on herself later on to figure out what TF happened to us it revealed that YES, “stuff” showed up to both of our apartments, mid-chat (looked like human males; in her case she knew the ones on her end were hybrids; the ones that showed up for me she couldn’t be sure) led us both off camera as we were in hypnotic dazed trances, under their control, then messed us both up physically, leaving us with marks and a bunch of subconsciously embedded threats. O.o Didn’t stop either of us though permanently, though yes, it did still create some problems. But we just doubled and tripled down, ramping things up multiple notches. (and I continued to get beat up and threatened after that, it didn’t stop. But I’ve just kept going. ;) )
But that’s what I mean by the “Aries partners in crime thing.” The whole, “Two punchy fighters united against a common enemy” thing, who, when knowing they’re pissing stuff off, just double and triple down on it all. THAT’S the time to rebelliously double down on things though, THAT’S when it’s a good thing. When it’s against something/somebodies that are truly evil and nefarious. Not innocent people, like what Beth, Robin and Terry did. Save it for the Grays, Mantids, their Hybrids, the human MILAB instigators and all the truly evil, psychopaths of the world. ;)
I’ll leave off with a fun and funny “ultimate Aries female example” with Rachel Bloom’s (April 3rd) Golden Globe 2016 win for her show “Crazy Ex Girlfriend.” It’s just pure masculine fire sign !!!!exuberant!!!! Aries energy. (BTW, the reason I’ve focused heavily on female Aries in this section moreso than the males is because people expect males to be everything Aries is. It’s no big deal to hear that a guy is masculine and punchy. Even a bully. “Yeah….and??” But females? No. Especially middle aged women. So in order to really illustrate what Aries energy can be it helps to focus more on the females, versus the dudes. In the same way I focused more on males in the Pisces section than females, because people expect women to be like what a Pisces typically is. So therefore focusing on the males better illustrates Piscean energy, since it really stands out when manifesting through a dude.)
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Earth, Feminine, Fixed
Calm, level headed, steady and reliable. Who a Taurus was yesterday is who they’ll be today, and you can count on them to be that way tomorrow. Stubborn to a FAULT, they will dig their heels in and not budge if they know they’re right about something. Endlessly patient and determined, they will see things through to the end like nobody’s business no matter how insane things get. (Think of David Icke, 4/29 – no matter what adversity has been thrown at him for over 30 years the dude has NEVER backed down or given up.) They also often hang in there with people that others may give up on or walk away from. Tauruses are also very helpful in my experience, as well as tending towards being kind and friendly.
Going all the way back to the mid-90s some of the first people I’ve become immediate work friends with at various jobs, no matter the industry, have been Tauruses, whether male or female, because they’ve been friendly, warm, kind and welcoming. But with that simultaneous emotional reserved disposition. As an emotions-based Water sign I appreciate the friendliness and welcoming kindness….but also dig the more emotional reserved nature of an Earth Taurus. (Probably in large part due to my Earth sign Virgo moon. Once again….why we need to look at ALL aspects of our charts, and not just focus on the Sun.) A Taurus can talk about experiencing the feels, but while staying calm and not getting lost in the emotions as they do so, unlike a lot of the emotional people I’ve met in life. For me this makes them both relatable and also way easier to deal with. As far as I know I’ve never seen a Taurus have an inappropriate emotional meltdown, let’s just put it that way.
Another important repeating trait I’ve seen firsthand or heard or read about with regards to Tauruses: being the peacemaker in a situation, whether at work, within a family or a group of friends. In the previous section about Aries I cited an anecdote that illustrated that, regarding Taurus Tori Spelling, peace brokering a situation between her two punchy Aries female costars trying to beat each other down. But in my own situation a few years ago I had a Taurus work friend named Serina immediately jump in to buffer a negative hiccup that had occurred between me and a female supervisor, taking it upon herself to smooth things out in the head supervisor’s office when she didn’t have to, since it didn’t even involve her. But Serina was my work bud, and as a Fixed/“Power Sign” Taurus was loyal, and her instinct was to jump in and have my back when she’d heard what happened, take charge to fix things and get it smoothed out. (She’d had her own issues with some of these same female bosses.) And it worked, the situation blew over. Normally as a Fixed/“Power Sign” Scorpio I’ve always been the one at my various jobs jumping in to protect/defend/buffer/diffuse bullying or negative situations being directed at coworkers from bosses or customers, so it was interesting, and kind of nice, to finally experience somebody doing that for me for once.
But this also overlaps with Taurus’ “quietly take charge/boss” personality, because Tauruses are one of the four Fixed signs, aka, Power Signs. It means they’re usually the take charge leaders, often in the position of manager/supervisor/director and all around leader in any organization. Or even the self made entrepreneur, in charge of themselves and making their own money in life. Have known multiple entrepreneur Tauruses. Even when they’re not actually the supervisor they will take on responsibility and assume that quietly take charge boss personality, which usually then leads to them moving up in life to eventually become a boss of some sort. It’s all connected to that stubborn persistence they display. They’re just a little more quiet and low key than others about it all.
Serina wasn’t a boss….but took it upon herself to insert herself into the situation, dealing directly with a head boss lady and conducting herself like a calm, confident boss in the process. She always carried herself with “quiet boss energy” for anything she did with her job. And meanwhile, years later, at her new job, she’s finally moved up to become….a department head. So there you go. Ultimately though don’t be fooled by all that calm, leveled steadiness and helpful friendliness that Tauruses usually display, or even the inert laziness. They WILL step up to be the leader.
For all these reasons Tauruses have overall been the least annoying people I deal with in life, along with fellow feminine Earth sign Capricorn. At any job they’ve always just been super easy to get along with, both the males and females. It’s an immediate thing, where they always seem to gravitate to me straight away, and we hit it off and become work friends. There’s been an even more specific pattern where multiple times I’ve hit it off with female Taurus coworkers who were born specifically in 1993. So, Taurus year of the Roosters. Usually always April 25 – 29th. It’s nuts. There’s a reason for it that we’ll be getting back to later.
Even the way Tauruses MOVE is steady, leveled and calm. It’s the dead giveaway trademark. I have literally marveled at it with multiple Tauruses, just watching them….do stuff. Tauruses will methodically move their way through a process, step by step by step, with endless steady patience and meticulous movements. I’m just like “ARGHGHGHGAHAHAHGHGHGH!!!!” full of impatience when it comes to tasks I couldn’t give a shit about, or something that may be semi-important, but I’m not investing myself in it. Tauruses however seem to have endless meticulous patience for ANY task, no matter how trivial.
Once I was watching a female tarot card and rune reader and amateur astrologer on YouTube (whom I knew because she’d emailed with me a few times), and when watching one of her videos and seeing what she looked like for the first time I knew IMMEDIATELY, first 30 seconds, “…..if she’s not a Taurus then I don’t know what is.” Found out later on…..yup, a Taurus. It was her physical features for starters (rounded face, really long feminine hair) the lack of makeup/all natural look, and then the way she spoke and moved that just gave it away when you combined it all together. Methodical, steady, calm movements and endless patience, with a calm soothing voice. Sitting outside in nature (Earthy….) while mixing up the rune stones in the pouch, calmly looking around, tilting her head up, squinting her eyes closed, enjoying the breeze and soaking up the sun. Then calmly, patiently drawing one stone after another, methodically laying them out while ruminating on them, and adjusting her long hair, then more stone drawing and contemplation and sun/breeze enjoyment and adjusting the long hair. Same deal when she did her tarot card readings. I began watching her videos just to get vicariously calm and “Earth-ified” myself, since my energy can be so “!!!!!”
(Reminds me of a vid I saw on YT with Taurus actor Rami Malek (5/12) answering random fan questions to the camera, and the endless comments raving about his calm, soothing personality and voice, and how people felt calm just listening to him. “Anxiety has left the chat” was one of the endless comments.) Knowing he’s a Taurus means it came as no surprise to me when he revealed that he watched Queen’s Live Aid concert footage from 1985 thousands of times on repeat in order to get every move and nuance memorized for his role as Freddie Mercury. I’ve marveled at side-by-side comparison vids showing the original concert footage with the movie’s re-enactment, wondering how TF Rami did it.) But it truly takes a Taurus, who is nothing but stubborn, persistent and endlessly patient and determined, as well as full of quiet boss energy, to tackle – and fully master – a project of that magnitude, which would drive most other people truly bonkers. It’s the same stuff I’ve noted to Taurus Tom over the years – his endless patience to tackle things that would drive me absolutely nutty. Meanwhile, same as Rami, Tom’s also been endlessly complimented for having such a calm and soothing voice and presence in all his interviews or podcasts.
But yes, I’m a fireball of “!!!!!” energy, and I think, speak and move fast, with little patience, sometimes feeling like a huge sun with giant radiating beams that’s been crammed into a small body. It’s the opposite of Taurus. (literally….‘cuz they’re the opposite of each other on the astrological wheel….ahahaha! ;) ) It was funny, but the aforementioned Tarot/Rune reader female said in an email to me that she sometimes wished to have more energy like what I describe of myself. Meanwhile……….I was wishing to be able to feel and be more calm, like her. In 2022 I purposely took up origami JUST to develop more “Taurus-like skills.” Not even kidding, I talked about it on my Gab. Methodical, calm patience and exacting movements. I wanted to develop that more within myself. I wanted to be like all the Tauruses I’ve admired from the sidelines.
Female Tauruses are often ALL about the long hair though. It’s a trademark Taurus female trait from my experience. Probably for two main reasons: Taurus is a feminine Earth sign, and therefore Yin, and Yin is about long hair; and meanwhile Tauruses desire sensory experience, which long hair provides. I’ve known too many long haired Taurus females to count at this point, including the Tarot/Rune reader just mentioned. Even my aforementioned work buddy Serina, who was Black. (One of those April ’93 Taurus Roosters mentioned earlier.) Her preferred hair was the very long braids all the way down her back. Another repeating trait I’ve tended to see with Taurus is having the rounded faces, and in multiple cases, the fuller lips, including the males. Doesn’t mean every single one has this, but enough of them do that it’s stood out for me.
The other biggest telltale indicator of a Taurus though? FOOD. Holy shitsnacks do Tauruses love their food, because it provides material comfort, which they greatly desire. They love to cook, and love to eat, both the females and males. And nothing makes them more sad than food that’s disappointing. Their body types often reflect this. Not necessarily obese/fat, though you do definitely see that, but they often always at least have “meat on their bones.” And even if they don’t start out in life like that they will often go in the fat direction once they hit a certain age, because they’re typically not about physical exercise and trying to fight against the effects of age-related weight gain. Going to the gym and physical activity isn’t their first instinct (like it often can be with the active Fire signs, for instance). So if they do go it’s one of those “force yourself to do it ‘cause you know you have to” sorts of things. (And once again, that cartoon meme I linked to in the opening of this write up nailed it, representing Taurus with a fat guy holding a loaf of bread up to his head like a gun. ;D )
So yes, Tauruses’ downside is that they can also be very physically lazy and inert. They’ll often just immediately give up and fully embrace eating. Taurus writer/actress/director (i.e. Power Boss….) Lena Dunham (5/13) made a big public statement a few years ago that made it into the mainstream news about how she was done with fighting the effects of weight gain and done starving herself with constant dieting and trying to be the Hollywood female ideal, etc. etc. She was going to just now fully embrace eating and being fat. (meanwhile as the rest of the world was like, “And now back to our regularly scheduled lives….”) And another great famous example of this would be singer Adele (5/5), prior to her weight loss.
My current job insists on having the wall-mounted big screen TV on during working hours, so I started seeing Valerie Bertinelli hosting her own cooking show on the Food Network. The more I saw of her every time her show was on the more I began to realize…..something about her really reminds me of Kelly Clarkson, despite the career differences. They have a lot in common in terms of their friendly, down to earth demeanors, rounded/full faces, take-charge but pleasant and likable boss personalities that seemed custom designed to have their own TV shows, longer hair, and obvious love of food. Looked them both up online…..April 23rd and April 24th, respectively. Both Tauruses, only a day apart. Once again the repeating astrological patterns strike again both in terms of personality, proclivities and even physical appearances……. as we’ll keep seeing repeatedly throughout this write up. And for many years Kelly was known for caving to the love of food and corresponding weight gain, same as Adele, until also embarking on sudden and drastic weight loss.
But speaking of food…….I was marveling to (Taurus) Tom about my former Taurus female coworker Carli back in December 2022 – who by the way, has really long hair, all the way down her back, a round face and fuller lips – because when I was sitting with Carli at the company Christmas party she’d methodically take a bite of food, then analyze it/enthuse/comment on it to her boyfriend sitting next to her. Then take another, and analyze it/enthuse/comment on it. And another…..repeating this….over, and over, like nobody else at the table. Because nobody else there was a Taurus. But it was EXACTLY what Tom always does when eating a really good meal. Analyze every bite to death. :D She was the female version of Tom in that regard. (And she has multiple other traits in common with Tom as well.) In only the seven months I stuck around at that job I’d say Carli probably put on at least ten pounds, due to her love of food that she wasn’t even trying to combat, so it was overtaking her. It didn’t help that my seven month tenure overlapped with the Holidays. Which is the prime time to put on weight. Carli didn’t start out with a double chin….but by the end of my time there she now had one. The ultimate Taurus food moment though? The time Carli was opening a desk drawer and showing the new guy Tim next to her, “…..and I always have snacks in my drawer….” ;D Made me smile to myself as I overheard that while passing by her desk. Which also doubles as an example of being that kind and friendly Taurus. Not everybody goes out of their way to chat with new coworkers and be friendly, making them feel welcome (and maybe even showing them their snack stash to share), but Tauruses usually do in my experience, both the males and females. Carli was also fond of buying bakery goods from Publix to bring in for everybody. And at another job I once had a female, round faced, long haired, fully obese Taurus colleague named Vicki do the same thing with me when I first started….offering to share her snack stash. Vicki’s personality with everybody was always warm, friendly (but in a reserved way), caring and patient to a FAULT.
But I thought about the difference between a Taurus’ love of food for instance, and then say a Pisces. What I realized is that for a Pisces they’re eating their feelings, as mentioned. “Shoving food in the piehole,” while simultaneously satiating an oral gratification need to feel better, I’m sure. Tauruses crave sensory experience and material comfort, but it also is truly about the aesthetics. I noticed years ago that for Tom it’s ALL about “temperatures and textures” with his food. Same with Carli as well, mentioned above. It’s not just indiscriminately shoving food in the piehole. The food itself MATTERS. It should be cooked correctly, the right temperatures, the right textures and consistencies, with the best ingredients, and presented nicely. Same with a (round faced, full lipped) male Taurus roommate I had years ago named Todd (5/12), when I lived with in the house full of guys in SoCal. Dude not only loved his beer, always puttering around or loafing in front of the TV with a bottle of fancy craft beer in his hand (he NEVER drank basic/pedestrian, cheap shitty canned beer brands) but he loved to eat, and cook. And not just anything. He liked making nice food that was above and beyond. Food that MATTERED. For instance….just randomly whipping up a fancy swordfish steak dinner or something, then knocking on my door to invite me to come share it with him.
One of the many examples of “being able to predict astrology” that got downright creepy as I was compiling this write up was when I was thinking about the infamous ‘I Want Candy’ scene from the 2006 movie “Marie Antoinette.” As I was rewatching I was thinking about how this scene is something Taurus Tom would probably really appreciate, with its emphasis on the super fancy desserts, since one of our favorite places to go is Pan’e Dolci Italian bakery in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Then I remembered from all the research I did…..writer/director Sofia Coppola (hello….Power Boss….) who envisioned and wrote and crafted this scene, is a Taurus. (5/14.) O.o
And one other random thing I’ve noticed that multiple Tauruses have had in common is a very dry sense of humor. And sometimes very unexpected. Just staring off, expressionless, even frowning…then they suddenly come out with the most hilarious shit ever. Years ago I used to LIVE for watching TV late at night with the aforementioned Taurus Todd (5/12), because his extremely dry, but hysterically funny commentary about whatever shows and commercials we were watching was everything. It was LITERALLY the only reason I would even “watch” TV back then, which I normally hate. (Truly….I had a “KILL YOUR TV” sticker on my car during that time….) But it was all about “The Todd Commentary Show.” So I would join Todd late at night, where he’d be sitting on the couch with his bottle of fancy beer, and I’d sit on the floor against the couch, while he’d be making hilarious deadpan commentary on every show or commercial while flipping through the stations with the remote. I would practically be convulsing in some instances, tears rolling down my face, from his unexpected, dry, witty humor.
There’s an all time great moment with Todd that perfectly illustrates this. It’s when me and Todd and a part time roommate James decided to go see “Boogie Nights” in the theater on opening weekend in ’97, my idea. Of course. ;D Of COURSE the Scorpio in the group is like “Let’s go see this movie about the porn industry!” We had a delicious dinner and got shitfaced at Yee’s Chinese Restaurant in El Toro before heading to the Irvine Spectrum. The Taurus’ idea. ;) (okay….getting shitfaced is also part of the Scorpio’s idea too, let’s be real…) Meanwhile Mutable Virgo James was just along for the ride as dictated by the two Power Bosses. And as anybody who’s seen Boogie Nights knows….the movie is over 2 ½ hours long. And our show started at 10 p.m. So by the time the infamous ‘Sister Christian’ drug deal scam happens over two hours in, after midnight, a scene that’s completely off the hook, the audience we were with was starting to be like “WTF?!?!” Because scenes like that in movies typically happen at the 45 minute mark….the big halfway point of transition in the paint-by-numbers screenplay movie formula. Not two hours in. So everybody’s wondering “HOLY SHIT….! HOW LONG IS THIS MOVIE?!?!” People in the audience losing inhibition, calling out funny comments about how long was this going to go on for, and another guy calling out how he had to be at work in a few hours, etc., making everybody in the theater chuckle.
There was a pause of silence as things seemed to settle back down again. Then Todd suddenly yells out deadpan, “1994!”
It took everybody in the audience a few seconds to get the joke, but when they did…….. The entire theater erupted in hysterical laughter. Todd got the longest and hardest laughs of anybody calling out joke comments. (for those who haven’t seen the movie, it traces the career of porn star Eddie Adams/“Dirk Diggler,” played by Mark Wahlberg, starting in 1977. So throughout the movie there’s always these titles coming up on screen telling you what year it is now…and now….and now….as life progresses along into the early 80s. So Todd’s joke was obviously the smartest/cleverest by far.)
Tucker Carlson (5/16) is a famous Taurus that embodies this as well. I enjoyed watching some of the “Tucker Carlson Tonight” segments posted on the ‘net because of all his sudden, unexpected but hilariously dry wit that he inserts throughout with that trademark Taurus straight face/frown face. Tom’s also demonstrated this trait too many times to count, and it’s something his college friends also noted about him. That he doesn’t say much, but when he does, it’s usually something REALLY funny and unexpected. (and always said while staring off and/or frowning, dry, deadpan, and deep in his own head.)
Years ago at a restaurant I worked at in SoCal from ’93 – ’94 one of my work buddies was a 20 year old Taurus guy named Al. One of Al’s defining traits was his super dry humor….almost too dry he had to admit, as more than one person thought he was being serious and got upset/offended. But many years later when I was with Tom I realized one day the uncanny similarity between Tom and Al. Both guys were over 6 feet tall, ethic (Al – Venezuelan, Tom – Half Asian), with black hair, dark brown eyes, darker skin, rounded faces, full lips, and just looking so much the same in general, both smart, and with the same low key, friendly/kind personalities and dry humor. A bit clone-like.
And regarding Tauruses at work, another possible pattern I’ve noticed is that Tauruses are multi-talented. From what I’ve seen they’re not the types that are narrowly limited to only one thing that they do well. They can do it all it seems…..and really well. So they’re very valuable. I used to say to my work friend Serina that I hope our bosses appreciate her, because they’re NEVER going to find somebody else who can do everything she does. She not only wrote excellent, knowledgeable and well written digital marketing related content but she was the company’s designated videographer, in charge of all video making from conception to recording and directing, editing and finally posting online, could speak flawlessly on camera off the top of her head with a professional presentation, could create high level marketing materials in terms of graphics/design layout, and handled all the shipping logistics and necessary materials for every conference. And did everything meticulously, no mistakes, while always maintaining calm, level headed focus. (And no…of course they didn’t appreciate her. They were a bunch of assholes to her, but, that’s a whole other story. She’s since moved on though to another company, where she’s now a department head as mentioned.) Tom’s also demonstrates this multi-faceted talent ability that’s a bit mind boggling, and as well as other Tauruses I’ve known who seem to be able to do it all. My former coworker Carli had that ability too. Talented in multiple areas and a very valuable, devoted employee, who was also underappreciated by the head boss guy (a nutjob split personality Gemini, Year of the cocky/bossy/arrogant Rooster who had been nicknamed Satan, the Devil, etc. by other employees, mentioned in the upcoming Gemini section) and deserved much better. Like Serina though she’s since moved on to greener pastures. :)
When researching the most prominent band lead singers and entertainers of all time, for all genres of music and going back to the beginning of the 20th century, male Tauruses were overwhelmingly represented, tying neck in neck with male Aquariuses and Libras. (Yes, it was quite the research project. !! Lot of work, but also fun. Excel spreadsheets and the internet are an amazing thing…..) Makes sense, as again, Tauruses are natural born leaders. Taurus Tom, and my former buddy/roommate Taurus Todd are/were also musically inclined, both playing guitar, so there might be even more going on there with that whole thing. And meanwhile male Tauruses also had THE most representation for late night chat show hosts of all time on both sides of the pond, going back to the beginning of TV. (Jay Leno, Craig Ferguson, Stephen Colbert, George Lopez, Jack Paar, John Oliver, Tom Snyder, etc.) Again, makes sense, as a take charge Power sign.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Air, Masculine, Mutable
A Gemini acting on its worst energy is dual personality, no joke. There’s a reason it’s represented by the twins. Up and down, over here and then over there, just very inconsistent and all over the freaking place. Who they were yesterday is not who they are today….and not even who they’re going to be five minutes from now. Let alone tomorrow. Gemini is represented by Mercury, with the winged feet, and rules over communication, and it’s so aptly fitting. Quick witted, clever, chatty, flighty and mercurial in temperament. Geminis also can come off as emotionally detached, even cold (classic air sign trait). They don’t have a tendency to dig deep, and they definitely don’t take things seriously the way other signs tend to. Light, airy, superficial, chatty, and flitting around like a spastic butterfly.
Geminis are also IMO one of the most verbally fluid of the three air signs, hands down. The verbal fluidness, in combination with the mental agility, are why you’ll see Gemini represented by some of the most famous (and talkative, quick witted and clever) stand up comics that everybody’s heard of. (whether you actually like them personally, or their material….you’ve still most likely heard of them.) I’m not kidding when I said earlier that I did a literal personal astrology research project, including a full on Excel spreadsheet with regards to famous people in multiple disciplines. And Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius were all nearly neck in neck for the most famous stand up comedians, with a disproportionate representation. We’ll get into it again in the sections concerning Virgo and Sag.
But for Gemini you have Joan Rivers, 6/8 (“Can we talk???” And boy could she ever…..) Russell Brand, 6/4, whose verbosity is a trademark practically; Bill Burr, 6/10, a very mentally quick Gemini who also has a podcast, of course, full of talk talk talk, and who for me, is the GOAT; Owen Benjamin, 5/24, another very quick witted comedian known for his livestreams that go on for hours. Other very famous Gemini comics who’ve put their ability to talk and be clever and mentally quick on their feet include: Tim Allen (6/13), Jo Koy (6/2), Amy Schumer (6/1), Jim Breuer (6/21 – cusp of Cancer), Brian Regan (6/2), Drew Carey (5/23; probably why he was given The Price is Right hosting duties…have to be mentally fast on your feet and witty for something like that), Nikki Glaser (6/1), Adam Carolla (5/27), Jimmy Yang (6/11), Sarah Millican (5/29), Dana Carvey (6/2), Heather McDonald (6/14), Daniel Tosh (5/29) and Bobcat Goldthwaite (5/26).
Then you have Donald Trump….Gemini. 6/14. The only president who acted like a stand up comic as I’ve been fond of saying for years. There’s entire YT vids devoted to Trump’s endless brutal off-the-cuff comebacks against any “fake news!” clowns trying to verbally go up against him. You’re never going to win against that guy in a verbal altercation. Forget his infamous middle of the night, childish, but funny mean Tweets, always having a go at anybody who opposes him. A big part of his personality though also ties into his Sag moon, which we’ll be getting back into later.
But guess who’s also a Gemini Sun, Sag moon, as I discovered? AND a numerological life path 31/4, exactly the same as Trump? Something we’ll be digging into later? Bill Burr, my personal choice for GOAT stand up comedian, as well as being a master of off-the-cuff comebacks, sometimes brutal, in any interview, as well as dealing with spontaneous situations and hecklers. Not only that, but both guys also have their Mercury in Cancer. So Burr and Trump are the same in that regard, and the personality portrait I read about the Gem/Sag combo on Astro.com was equally fitting for both. Patterns, patterns, patterns. O.o I had no idea Trump was the same configuration as my personal choice for GOAT stand up comic, but there I was always saying he was the first president to act like a stand up comic. Just yet another of the endless reasons why things were getting creepy for me the more research I did into astrology for this write up.
There was a Gemini woman at my previous job, and one minute she was smiling as she was passing by me in the hall, and an hour later she was scowling at me even though I’d done nothing. Then back to smiling, then scowling. It was insane. I just reminded myself “She’s a Gemini…” and brushed it off. By the end of my time there we got on fine. Like chatting it up in the kitchen and having some laughs level of fine, exactly BECAUSE I knew to just “brush it off…..don’t take her seriously…..” Which isn’t the typical Scorpio instinct. But if you know astrology? You learn how to override base instincts to be able to navigate people better. So yeah, as stupid as it sounds, I’m proud of myself for having been able to learn how to get along with various people I would otherwise NOT have, all because of excusing away their behavior to astrology. :D
The Gemini (6/6) CEO/boss at that same previous job was even more nuts. He’s been described as “lunatic,” “maniac,” “crazy” etc. because he was just so all over the place and up and down, and………mercurial. “Nice” one second, flying off the handle on various people the next. Besides his awful personality, another big problem I kept overhearing was that he kept changing policies from one day to the next, but not communicating things, and then trying to deny conversations/emails that had taken place….even when there was hard proof. Up and down, back and forth, over here then over there….meanwhile as he was always whizzing around the office (“winged Mercury”) talking fast and keyed up, dressed head to toe black, like some kind of predatory wasp. A very accurate description for him. His true, core issues had nothing to do with “Gemini!” and everything to do with who he was on a deep level. (Which included being referred to as “Satan”….“The Devil”…..etc. by multiple people. O.o )
Him being that “split personality Gemini” who was just all over the place, as well as being a numerological Life Path 1 – which is the competitive, ego-based leader, AND being a Year of the Rooster, which is cocky/boastful, egotistical and loves to be on stage telling everybody else what to do but who does NOT take criticism or direction from others very well, means it created that personality overlay on top of who he also was on a core level, as just outlined. Something that’s true for everybody. Our astrologies and numerologies add layers on top of our base spiritual core…..if some even have one. O.o Because I truly believe that many walking among us don’t have a higher spirit. They’re just empty puppets at the mercy of their astrologies, numerologies, and whatever neg elements decide to manipulate them.
With other Geminis I’ve known the up and down, back and forth inconsistency can be so pronounced that I’ve described them as “Right Hand doesn’t know what the Left Hand is doing.” A VERY fitting phrase for a lot of Geminis, since they were behaving as literal split personalities that were cut off from each other. (A recent, excellent famous example of a superficial, split personality idiot Gemini who’s all over the place, with no rhyme or reason? Kanye West. 6/8.) So as long as you truly GET this about Geminis, and roll with it, you’ll be able to navigate them much better.
And part of the whole Gemini Duality thing isn’t just about the inconsistent personality, it can often times be about gender. Where the males seem a bit feminine (manifests in their body type, face and mannerisms, and even the voice in many instances, which may often be softer/higher pitched – think Mark Wahlberg (6/5), Johnny Depp (6/9) Kanye West and Donald Trump (6/14) for some perfect examples of the soft voice thing, and it’s definitely something I’ve seen of multiple real world Gemini males), and meanwhile the women can seem a bit masculine. Geminis often seem to manifest both polarizations at once.
It could be a coincidence but at my various jobs over the years I’ve found myself multiple times working with or for “Gay Male Geminis.” Anytime it happens I’m like, Oh, this pattern again. :D One of whom was the nicest male boss I’ve ever had at any job, hands down, named Paul, here in Boca Raton/south Florida. And the other named Jeff, when I lived in Fort Lauderdale, whom became a work buddy, and where we even hung out together one time outside of work at his place, talking for hours (a very Air sign trait…) about all things conspiracy and metaphysics. Another one of those pairings that astrology says shouldn’t be, because Scorpio and Gemini are completely opposite of each other. It’s normally seen as a grossly incompatible combo. But it worked in these cases, probably because of the other aspects of both of our charts……an extremely important concept mentioned at the beginning.
Russell Brand and Angelina Jolie, who both have the exact same birthday, 6/4/75, embody this “masculine and feminine at the same time” confusion. You’ll really see it in older interviews with both. People outside of the entertainment industry thought Russell was gay, due to his flamboyant verbosity (meanwhile those in it very much knew he was a sexual predator of females, and rapist, as it’s now come out…..) And meanwhile Angelina’s mannerisms in how she moved, spoke and the way she sat was very tomboy/dude, while being openly bisexual. Johnny Depp as well. Has that feminized Gemini male look, a soft spoken light voice as mentioned, and a penchant for flamboyant roles. The now deceased singer Prince (6/7) is another great example. Always described as “diminutive” due to his 5’2” stature, with eyes that were accentuated with eye liner, posing in a slinky/sexy/feminine way in photos and with a penchant for singing in a falsetto, though with a speaking voice that was normal male. But bit of a gender bender thing going on there. Which is why when I was a kid I just assumed he was gay. < shrug >
Speaking of Prince….I only recently noticed the uncanny resemblance between Prince and Dave Navarro, lead guitarist for both the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jane’s Addiction. Not only in terms of physical looks, with their ethnic backgrounds, facial bone structure, including the defined jawlines, goatees and use of eyeliner to highlight their brown eyes, but also the fact they’re both renowned guitarists. Only to learn that not only are Dave and Prince both Geminis, but they both have the same birthday. June 7th. The astrological same-sies phenomenon strikes again. Throw Johnny Depp into the mix (6/9) with his distinct bone structure and defined jawline, brown hair/brown eyes, goatee and eyeliner – and who also plays guitar, known for being in the Hollywood Vampires – and you could have a group of Gemini triplets. And all three with both a very masculine – yet feminized – appearance/mannerisms going on. Androgyny, duality.
At the same aforementioned recent job, one of my buddies from the warehouse, this guy named Tommy, a 40 year old Black Gemini dude, liked to pop by my desk when he was on break every day to chat. And boy could he chat. Just on and on. :D But I indulged it obviously, otherwise he wouldn’t have kept coming back. And I did genuinely like the guy, he was cool, friendly, thoughtful and REAL. Then he mentioned one time in response to something I said that he enjoyed being able to talk with his girlfriend after work about their days. Not a typical thing you hear most guys say….but also not surprising considering he was an Air sign Gemini.
Related to that, and for a bit of a dark turn, let’s take a look at the Air signs in general and how they may nefariously use their “gift of Gab.” As mentioned any of the signs within each element share multiple traits in common. And just neutrally I will say all the Air signs have exhibited the trait of “TALKING TOO MUCH” in many instances in my life. When I’ve looked at coworkers for instance that I’ve complained to myself talk too much, and that definitely goes for the males, they were Air signs. It’s actually been most noteworthy with the males, since males in general are not known for being chatty. But the Air sign males can often behave much like a female in many ways when it comes to their chattiness. But my Libra ex Steve (10/1) from many years ago liked to suck me in for these ~one hour long chats after work. About our days, as well as all sorts of intellectually stimulating and humorous topics…….in order to vampirize my energy. :/ His energy tank would start out on E, after spending ten hours working outside in a blue collar job. But after about an hour, every time, of being in my proximity on the outside patio while using conversation as the lure he’d be back to F, ready to tackle the rest of his night full of college homework, studying and writing papers. Meanwhile as I’d go from F to E right after, every time. Just wiped out and crawling onto the bed to nap. :/ Took me awhile to realize what was going on. Our mutual friend Mike later confirmed to me that he experienced the same phenomenon whenever he was around Steve for too long. Totally wiped out and exhausted. Which is why he was no longer interested in hanging around Steve one-on-one for extended periods of time.
And my Aquarius brother Joe (1/31) also utilized “the Air sign’s art of conversation” for his own nefarious agendas. In this case, striking up genuinely interesting and engaging conversations with me that would go on for 20, 30 minutes……until caaaassssually working in requests for favors or money. So his conversations were always just a manipulative ploy to subtly work in what he really was after, hiding behind the interesting, intellectual, and often conspiratorial and metaphysical discussion. (Joe was also on the cusp of Year of the Monkey and Rooster, and as we’ll see later on in this piece, Monkeys are ALL about the conspiracy and paranoia, BIG time…..) Also took me a bit to realize what he was doing. :/ But as an Air sign – and Joe had the Sun as well as Mercury and Mars all clustered together in Aquarius, and three planets clustered in fellow Air sign Libra – Joe was a master manipulator with conversation, as others had even noted about him. And as Gemini and Libra also tend to be, whether used for positive or negative ends.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Water, Feminine, Cardinal
I finished the astrological personalities part of this write up and Cancer was the only one left that I just had no passion or “!” insight about, and was the last one I tackled.
What I can say is that this feminine water sign is of course often emotionally sensitive, as well as being VERY much the dedicated homebodies, and intuitive/outright psychic, in all forms, but including mediumship. The best medium I’ve ever seen, hands down, is Matt Fraser, born July 8th. You can find his channel and vids on YT. (And on a side note: I guessed Matt’s moon correctly, Gemini, first try straight out the gate in less than 30 seconds, because as far as I was concerned there was literally no other sign it could be. Gemini is the super chatty, light and superficial, flighty, emotionally detached air sign that can often embody both gender polarities at once, as we learned in the previous section about Gemini. Matt’s embodying both the tough but psychic water sign Cancer, and the light and airy, flighty, chatty, dual gender air sign Gemini, equally. Which is helpful, since he speaks with people’s dead loved ones, which can be a very heavy and emotional subject for the living. But he knows how to handle it and keep himself detached and light. Annndd…..even standup comic level. When you watch Matt’s live performances on YT while standing on a stage, or walking through an audience giving on-the-spot readings, he’s to the actual level of standup comedian, with his mentally quick, off the cuff jokes and “audience work,” keeping people laughing, trying to keep the mood balanced. Major hallmark of Gemini, as we’ve now seen in the previous section. So that was yet another “Boom, bitches!” moment for me.)
On a sidenote, one of the few real life insights I do have about Cancer males in particular is that they’re a little too sensitive for my liking. Which is interesting, because as a Scorpio female that’s supposed to be something that pairs well. But something I’ll reiterate multiple times throughout this write up is that we may find ourselves hitting it off in life with people we’re astrologically “not supposed to,” and meanwhile being repelled by people we “should” get along with. For me personally, this is one of those examples. Just because I’m a “Water Sun Sign” doesn’t mean I actually automatically hit it off with every Water Sun sign person out there. One of my all time best buds in life, who I mention throughout this write up, was a guy named Mike who was an Aries sun, Cancer/Gemini moon (have seen different sources say different moons, leading me to believe that the moon must have been between the two signs at the time he was born.) Something that seems very incompatible with my Scorpio Sun, Virgo Moon. But I’ve tended to get on better with Air, Fire and Earth sign males in life, exactly BECAUSE they’re not intensely emotional Water signs. I need that fun, energetic and often cerebral-based energy to counterbalance my own self. And actually to COMPLIMENT my own self. Because as mentioned at the very beginning I have an almost equal amount of fiery, fun loving, cerebral and masculine elements within my own Eastern & Western astrology (and Numerology) as I do feminine Water sign energy. It’s an almost 50/50 mix. But in general I’ve always gravitated to non emotional/non-Water people.
A couple of years ago I had an intense, two week email exchange with a longtime male reader of my website named Aaron, who also knew me going all the way back to Tom’s Noble Realms messageboard forum. He’d reached out to multiple people with a mass email, of which I happened to be included on. Accidentally……as it turned out, as he would later admit. He doesn’t know how I wound up on that email, but somehow I did. He probably meant to include somebody else whose name started with “C” but his email autofilled my email address, and he didn’t notice. But it was basically an “I’m at the end of my rope in life” sounding email. O.o So I decided to respond, to see if I could help, even though he and I weren’t close and I hadn’t heard from him in almost ten years. I wrote about this experience in-depth on Gab. And as I later figured out when reading through his blog….he’s a (July) Cancer. And all I can say is “Of COURSE he turned out to be a Cancer.” O.o The feminine sensitive/feelings-based Water sign. I am truly not kidding when I say in that linked Gab post that it took me over two weeks to fully shake off what I went through with Aaron for those two weeks dealing with his personality. He was a guy that was able to establish an intense emotional connection immediately. Fluctuating between being a rational, intelligent and charming guy one second, to being an over-the-top whiny, angry, persecuted victim the next, lashing out and wallowing in his incessant, EXTREMELY intense, self absorbed to the point of downright narcissistic, melodrama that was always threatening suicide in an indirect way. Being worse than any female, truly. But it’s why I even responded to his initial email at all. It was concerning, because it sounded like he was giving up on life and about to off himself. So once again, that cartoon meme I linked to at the beginning of this write up that depicted Cancers as a guy crying with a rope around his neck, about to kill himself, was scary accurate. O.o
At one point I got an email (from where Aaron was living in a hotel room in San Francisco), having a total meltdown because yet another synchronicity had just happened with his food delivery order. Any little synchronicity would send him into full blown angry theatrics, because he believed reality was out to get him. And no matter how much I would reassure him that I completely get where he’s coming from and understand the experiences he’s going through, I’ve had them too, he didn’t actually want to hear that. I realized he’d become addicted to rejection and victimization from people, and only seemed to understand people telling him he was crazy and lashing out at him. He didn’t know what to do with somebody actually believing/validating him and trying to be a friend. He didn’t understand acceptance, and didn’t actually want it deep down. It was apparently just so much more fun to be surrounded by drama, negativity and rejection…while pulling innocent people down into the pit with him. :/ Hence the up and down, moody/sulky/angry rapid fluctuations in his personality towards me. And keeping in mind he’s apparently a raging alcoholic on top of everything. Somebody who claims he gets sick drinking water and has to drink full on Whiskey first thing in the morning when waking to feel okay.
“PTSD” is probably a little Histrionic I know to describe my reaction to dealing with his emails all day every day for two weeks straight (over 70 of them in all), with his incessant temper tantrum meltdowns over every stupid little thing, but it was definitely something a bit traumatic, that’s all I can say. Exhausting. My phone notification would go “DING!” indicating a new email from him and my reaction to the noise started becoming “!!!” in a frazzled way. (Eventually I had to politely end the exchange after yet another freak out from him where he suddenly cussed me out and told me to Wake the Fuck Up!!!……because I actually understood/related to him and was trying to help him make sense of his experiences. His lashing out made no sense. But that’s when I was like “Alright, I’m done.”)
But that’s Cancer males when they’re at their most emotional/sensitive and selfish and negative for you. A feminine Water sign that can go deep with the heavy feelings. And it’s also why I’ll take an Air, Fire or Earth sign male ANY day over a Water. Water is too much, and IMO, not a good fit for a dude.
But back to the more normal, everyday aspects of Cancer when things aren’t going off the rails….!
Because Cancers are represented by the crustacean crab it means they have that tough outer shell. So they display determined/tough characteristics that can get them through trying times maybe a little better than their fellow water signs Pisces, who turn into mopey Eeyores and/or Sad Clowns, or alcoholic/drug addled Scorpios. O.o (Not in all cases though, as illustrated by the example above of Aaron. !!) As mentioned earlier, Cancer is one of the Cardinal signs, which makes it a secondary power player in the Zodiac, behind the Fixed signs, and why you’ll see a lot of leaders and prominent figures in all disciplines represented by this sign. To make it in this world and rise all the way to the top, in whatever field, requires the toughness and tenacity that Cancer possesses.
And relating to the notorious homebody aspect of Cancers is their dedication to their families. A July Cancer girl I was friends with as a teen in Connecticut in 1990/91, before we moved to SoCal, got pregnant at 16, married the guy (they’d been friends since both were three years old) and is still with him to this day, 33+ years and three kids….a now a couple of grandkids….later. She works as a professional and licensed massage therapist – fitting for a sensitive water sign that can often be into healing of any type – both outside the home for a large organization, as well as inside her home privately, with her own designated massage therapy area and everything. All the while being that devoted wife and mother who made it through earlier trying times to triumph in the best way possible. Family is everything to her, as evidenced by her social media posts and vids which are nothing but that, and which now includes pics and vids of the grandkids. So she would be a superb embodiment of Cancer that I can think of in the everyday real world. Tough and tenacious, but caring and sensitive, devoted to family, and who makes a living providing healing massages to people.
As far as repeating looks with Cancers go….I can’t cite anything specific other than there can often be that softer, rounded, feminine aspect to their faces since they are a feminine water sign. But I did have an interesting anecdote relating to this that happened recently. I was watching some Sebastian Maniscalco standup comedy, and I paused the vid at one point marveling to Tom about how much Sebastian looked like psychic medium Matt Fraser in that one moment. Namely due to his mannerisms and facial expressions he was making. It was spot on match. When Matt’s doing live readings on stage and responding comically to things that are coming through in readings he’ll sometimes put his hand up over his mouth while pacing back and forth making funny faces and commentary with the wide eyed stare. It’s EXACTLY what Sebastian does when he’s getting to his punchlines. I looked up Sebastian’s birthday on the ‘net and saw that he not only was a Cancer………. but his birthday is July 8th. Same as Matt’s. O.o Yet another “Boom, bitches!” moment. We’re going to see this mentioned throughout this write up, people being dead ringers for other people not only in terms of looks, but their mannerisms, facial expressions and personalities….and it turns out they have the same birthday. (Didn’t hurt that both Matt and Sebastian are Italian, tanned, keep their dark hair short and neat, and have the pearly white straight teeth, adding to the physical similarities between the two. But then again…each one could have chosen any type of look for themselves, but they both gravitated to the same style, which brings us right back to astrology/personality stamping.)
The best summary I’ve seen about Cancers specifically in recent times comes from AbducteeJournal on Gab. So I’ll just post a link to that.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Fire, Masculine, Fixed
Regal. That’s the one word that describes Leos, male and female, to a T. They act like royalty, even when they’re nobodies. Kings, Queens, Princes and Princesses. Egomaniacal, self absorbed, “me!me!me!” dominating, spitfire and needing to be center stage at all times.
Leo is one of the four Fixed, or Power Signs, so they’re usually always leaders, in positions of power and authority. They’re often in the entertainment industry as well, due to that desire to BE SEEN. Needing attention and validation. I was once renting a room in a house in SoCal where fully THREE of the other four roommates (there were five of us total) were all Leos. It was Crazyville. You couldn’t keep up with all the self absorbed, extroverted, dominating, fiery, passionate “look at me!!!!” aggressive egos going on, behaving as if they were Kings and Queens.
Currently in south Florida our next door neighbor is a 73 year old Leo working actress. A “tough old broad” you could say. Lives on her own and does it all for herself. She’s also all up in everybody’s business, an extroverted, aggressive chatterbox, who dominates every conversation and makes everything about herself. (EXACTLY like those aforementioned roommates mentioned above.) She’s so Leo it’s beyond cliché. I’ve just had to keep that in mind about her in order to tolerate her self absorbed tendencies and keep the peace all these years. That’s why having an understanding of astrology can truly help people better navigate the world as I’ll reiterate a few times. Because I’ve literally bared down and held myself back over the past eight or so years with her, imposing artificial patience where none naturally exists (modeling myself after patient, easy going Taurus Tom….) and it’s helped. “She’s a Leo….she can’t help herself….she’s a Leo, she’s just a victim of a Matrix energy stamp….” O.o
As far as famous examples of Leos go…….I mean, holy shit. Like I said, they dominate in Hollywood in particular, but also politics. Where do you even start. For each of the twelve signs I typically don’t get into creating entire lists of famous examples, because again, I actively dislike many of the famous examples, and also it takes up too much space. But I will do it for Leo, just because it drives home the point about who and what Leo can be. Some examples of both celebrity and political Leos that REALLY embody exactly what I’m talking about with the whole regal/royal, egomaniacal, “me!me!me!” larger than life/needing to be center stage performers (sometimes to the point of being flat out toxic narcissists and/or abusers…..) would be Madonna, Meghan Markle, Mick Jagger, Arnold Schwartzenegger, former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, Napolean Bonaparte, Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Mussolini…..but you see the pattern. And while not an actual politician, but still a world’s power player/puppetmaster all the same, is George Soros.
On a milder, but still powerful and ego-based note (alive or dead, multiple disciplines, going back into the beginning of the 20th century) and in no particular order, you also have: Joe Rogan, Martha Stewart, Kathie Lee Gifford, film makers Stanley Kubrick, James Cameron, Alfred Hitchcock, Cecille B. DeMille, M. Night Shayamalan, Gus Van Sant, Wes Craven, Kevin Smith, Sam Mendes, Greta Gerwig, Roman Polanski, David O. Russell and Christopher Nolan; Sports stars Tom Brady, Hulk Hogan and Magic Johnson; Band lead singers Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), Jerry Garcia (The Grateful Dead), James Hetfield (Metallica) Geddy Lee (Rush), Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), George Clinton (Parliament Funkadelic), Mark Knopfler (Dire Straights), James “JT” Taylor (Kool & the Gang), Belinda Carlisle (The Go Go’s), Adam Duritz (Counting Crows), Adam “MCA” Yauch (Beastie Boys), Serj Tankian (System of a Down); Solo singers Whitney Houston, Tony Bennett, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, Isaac Hayes, Ronnie Spector, Coolio, Martina McBride, Jennifer Lopez, Louie Armstrong, Lee Ann Womack, Kate Bush; And then actors/tresses Dustin Hoffman, Helen Mirren, Ben Affleck, Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, Robert DeNiro, Mae West, Robert Redford, Anna Kendrick, David Duchovny, Mila Kunis, Chris Hemsworth, Ed Norton, Billy Bob Thornton, Hillary Swank, Laurence Fishburne, Daniel Radcliffe, Christian Slater, Jennifer Lawrence, Antonio Banderas, Patrick Swayze, Halle Berry, Kevin Spacey, Lucille Ball, Charlize Theron, Steve Carell, Sandra Bullock, Steve Martin, and then like half the cast of “Friends” – Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, Matthew Perry….
….Again, you see the pattern. Because this list just goes and goes and goes. Very strong, take charge, confident personalities who are either world leaders, massively successful/Grammy winning individual singers or lead singers of massively famous bands, A-list mega (and usually Oscar nominated and/or winning) directors, actors and actresses, and in multiple cases overlapping as directors/producers/actors/writers, athletes who double as top level entertainers, etc., who are/were FRONT AND CENTER and definitely make their mark and become known. Leos are very ambitious and competitive, which explains the need to make it to the top and be the best, and have those ego-based bragging rights, in whatever field they’re in.
The above list comprises of all the Biggies everybody’s heard of when it comes to Leos. However when it comes to the Leo actors or actresss of the smaller scale an overwhelming pattern I stumbled across when researching things for this article was that they were so often born the end of July. Moreso than August. Just over, and over, and over, and over again I kept encountering end of July birthdays for Leo actors and actresses. It became eye rollingly common. Multiple of the Biggies mentioned above are also July Leos, but for the smaller level ones this was definitely a repeating pattern. (And there are a shit ton of smaller level, but still very famous, Leo performers.) My theory is that they’re carrying holdover energies from feelings-based, sensitive Water sign Cancer, but coupled with the emerging “Look at me!” ego-based, performance-oriented extroverted Leo energy. Both combined together is a hell of a combination for actors.
A funny famous example of a Leo in action – this short clip of Leo Mila Kunis and her Aquarius co-star Justin Timberlake on the press circuit for their movie, where Mila is defending Justin against questions from a female Russian reporter. The reporter addresses the questions to Justin in Russian, since he’s got an earpiece translator, but as soon as Mila hears what’s being asked she tells Justin to hold on, gesturing him to keep quiet, she’s got this, then proceeds to completely take charge and dominate the situation, sticking up for him in a spitfire way. Justin can’t even get a word in. By the end Justin’s jokingly referring to her as his bodyguard, and in the comments you see people referring to Mila as “Queen,” “fierce lioness,” and even gay guys are drooling over her saying she’s hot. (My favorite comment is “In Soviet Russia Meg shuts you up.” ;D ) But that’s the masculine, take charge, bossy/dominating fire sign Leo for you.
Funny enough when I was researching the signs of all the most famous stand up comics (specifically stand up, because that’s different from being a comedic actor/tress; stand up is live, you only get one shot, it relies on jokes that YOU have to write/craft, and you need to be able to improv and think fast on your feet, especially for audience interaction and dealing with hecklers, so it’s a whole other level of comedy…) one of the most under represented of all the zodiac signs was Leo. But then it made sense to me why that might be. Yes, Leos need to be seen and heard, they absolutely love to be center stage….but not necessary as stand up comics. Leos are egotistical and power-based, bottom line.
There’s a psychology behind needing to make people laugh, and Leos don’t really have it. Comics are often looking for acceptance/approval, trying to laugh away their pain, and/or they enjoy the art of crafting intelligent, clever jokes and experiencing the payoff when an audience roars with laughter. For starters masculine, energetic, fire sign Leos don’t typically wallow in pain. And they’re so egotistical they usually don’t need to make you laugh, and definitely aren’t worried about whether you like them. And meticulously crafting intelligent and hilarious jokes isn’t their deal either. So ego-based Leos go straight for actual “peacock attention seeking performance,” be it singing and dancing, or traditional acting, and any leadership/boss position in general, where they can command power and respect, no matter the field. (and if that boss position happens to overlap with “BEING SEEN”….even better.)
For me as a Scorpio I find it impossible to deal with much of the Leo energy in the everyday world, as mentioned with regards to our neighbor. Why? Because Scorpio is also a Fixed/“Power Boss” sign. And as such it means I can’t tolerate anybody else aggressively talking over me/cutting me off, not listening to anything I’m saying and trying to dominate me, turning everything around onto themselves and making everything about them and their dramas. And that’s exactly what you often get with your typical Leo. As mentioned in a few places throughout this writeup with regards to all the Fire and Air signs in general, there is that tendancy towards superficially bouncing themselves off of other people. Using others to talk at, as a means to get attention, validation/mirroring, ego gratification and in general to satisfy that innate energetic urge towards extroversion, which creates a need to be projecting outward. And let’s face it – Scorps are sensitive feminine water signs. And Leo is a masculine fire sign. But all of it is why Leo is considered one of the more incompatible signs of the zodiac for Scorps. It’s a clash of egos, ultimately. One is a little more low key and sensitive, the other outwardly dominating, but it’s a clash of egos all the same. Though I will say at my current job there’s a Brazilian female Leo (8/15) tenant who’s in her 50s named Soraya, who exemplifies all these stereotypical Leo traits – outgoing/extroverted, friendly/talkative, dominant/fiery and self absorbed in conversation, but whom I do genuinely like and get along with. Exactly because I understand that she is the way she is because of being a Leo. Once again, as I’ll reiterate multiple times throughout this writeup, understanding astrology can help us better navigate the world and people so much better. I see that Soraya is a genuinely good person and means well, and doesn’t even get, AT all, that she’s often very dominating and self absorbed. Her inner core/soul means well, and is coming from an almost child-like, innocent, enthusiastic, exuberant place, so I do genuinely like her and get on well with her at work. I actually appreciate that when she comes up to the front desk that she carries the conversation, because most days I just don’t have it in me. ;D I just roll with whatever she puts out there. Let’s hear it for understanding astrology! ;D
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Earth, Feminine, Mutable
Emotionally reserved to the point of sometimes being cold; analytical, detail oriented, hard working and responsible, meticulous, organized, and very good with tedious shit. This is why Virgos often gravitate towards professions like accounting/bookkeeping and computer programming/coding or IT work. Can’t tell you how many Virgos I’ve met in life, male and female, who did one of those two things. (Even the show “Mr. Robot” made Elliott the super hacker a Virgo, birthday September 17th. They knew what they were doing. ;) Though again the birthday was really modeled after the show’s creator/writer, Sam Esmail. Who obviously has a natural affinity to that whole deal for him to have created an entire show around the idea of tedious computer hacking/coding. In the same way I mention later that Scorpio Dennis Kelly created a TV show that was the most Scorpio thing ever – Britain’s “Utopia,” from 2013 – the same goes for Virgo Sam Esmail, creating a TV show that’s the most Virgo thing ever.)
Back in 2005 in Virginia I temped as an admin assistant/receptionist for a few months at a company that had 18 guys in the office who were engaged in tedious coding for casino games…..and at least three quarters of the guys were all Virgos, as I saw on the employee birthday list. Maybe even more, though I can’t remember definitively by this point. (I’m pretty sure it was at least 90%, BUT, I will err on the side of caution and say three quarters.) It was WILD. Very eye opening. I don’t care what skeptics say, it was a statistical improbability. And they all basically had the same exact personality stamp/overlay. O.o
Virgos can go a little overboard in many instances with their natural tendency towards being organized, meticulous and on top of things, to the point of being extremely anal retentive, and even full blown OCD. Which is why I’ve heard from multiple people over the years about how much they freaking HATE Virgos. Once had a funny conversation with a coworker in the 90s named Megan, where we worked as hotel front desk clerks, when we were cross comparing our perfectionist, obsessive to the point of OCD tendencies in life. She was a Virgo sun, I was Virgo moon…which is close enough. ;) My favorite bizarrely specific, but funny one she mentioned was having to replay levels in Super Mario Brothers over and over and over and over until she gets every last thing perfect. Get every coin, kill every bad guy, bash every necessary brick absolutely perfectly to get every mushroom and flower, go down every pipe to get more coins, and always land at the tippy top of the flagpole to get max points. And do it all in one smooth, perfect endless move from start to finish. No going backwards, no screwups of any type. I was like, “YES!” Cuz yeah, that was me too, EXACTLY, to the letter. ;D It was fun trading anal retentive obsessive habits we had in common.
Meanwhile a few years ago I had a coworker chick who sat next to me who took her loathing of Virgos to an almost mental illness level. Girl never shut up about how much she hated Virgos. I didn’t have the heart to let her know that “Yeah….you know those accounting people that sit in the office right behind us that annoy you to no end? And who you have to listen to all day long ‘cause they never shut up? Yeah. They’re all Virgos according to the employee birthday list….” Think that would have just thrown her over the edge in life. Best to just keep that info to myself. ;D
In addition, a lot of Virgos can be critical and persnickity. (I have a Virgo moon as mentioned, so yes, attention to detail, anal retentive perfectionism and being critical and persnickity, honing in on things that others wouldn’t notice or care about and harping on about it long after others would, are traits of my personality….) And this goes for the guys just as much as the women.
When I wrote that sentence I was actually thinking of several very unpleasant male Virgos I’ve had to contend with at different jobs. One of them being the actual Accounting Manager (OF COURSE….) at the job mentioned above, where I had that Virgo hating coworker. Persnickity Bullies is the only way to put it. Had to push back against another Persnickity Bully Virgo Dude (he was a field supervisor) at another job using a Firm/Reprimanding Parental Mom Tone to get him to knock it TF off. Worked like a dream! In another instance, involving the Virgo I.T. Manager (OF COURSE…..holy shit…..) I found myself sitting in a higher up supervisor’s office demanding an immediate end to his persnickity bully bullshit. He pulled it on everybody, for years as I was told, but I was the only one to ever fight back. The issue wasn’t just his persnickity Virgo bully ways, but also his Year of the paranoid, devious, trickster, troublemaking Monkey, vs. my Year of the straight forward, energetic, friendly but easily angered Tiger. Two eastern signs that are extremely incompatible. And trust me…..Tiger WILL go full claws and teeth if pushed around.
And in yet another instance at a long term office temp job here in Boca Raton back in 2014 (for the email marketing department of a textbook publishing company) the situation involved a female Virgo supervisor named Lisa who was being a persnickity bully to a male coworker named Scott in our department. Normally that wouldn’t be my business, but it became my business because I kept being CC’d on all her bullying emails to him that were embarrassing and cringe. Just face palm everytime I read yet another one of her persnickity bully critical takedowns that was harping and nitpicking endlessly at him in a really rude way. There was also an issue where my job duties were supposed to be one thing, but had become something else entirely in only one week of me being there. I was suddenly now being expected to engage in mild level of actual HTML coding/editing for all the Email Marketing Department email blasts. O.o I have no coding background. That’s not at all what I was hired for. But Lisa would snap into “Harsh Persnickity Bully Mode” and throw emails at me, expecting for me to edit/revamp them on the backdoor code level, and I would continually get stuck, because I couldn’t figure out how it works. She didn’t care though, and would just maintain that cold, empathy-less, critical and harsh persnickity persona.
So there were several issues going on with this gig, which is why I finally just called a meeting with Lisa in private. (Quietly demanded is more like it. Fixed/Power Boss Scorpio behavior all the way.) With regards to the coding issue Lisa finally admitted in our meeting that the reason she had flipped up my job description with no warning was because she could see I was capable of more than what I was doing, and in her mind, the best way to handle it was to just dunk me head first in it, with no training………and which she believed would force me to have to figure it out. In other words, if she just kept coming at me in a harsh, critical way and kept throwing this shit at me I would eventually just…….know it, overnight and perform to her expectations.
For somebody so smart, and Lisa was definitely smart, that was some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. She finally had to develop some self awareness in the meeting and realize Yeah, I get now that this tactic isn’t effective. That’s not how to handle things. People need training for high level things they’ve never done before. duh.
I also confronted her on the Scott situation, quietly reprimanding her about how she was speaking to him and handling the situation by CC’ing the rest of us on her embarrassing exchanges. The Fixed/“Power Boss” Scorpio acting like the boss against the Mutable Virgo who actually was the boss. ;D “This isn’t the way.” She kept frowning and denying everything, acting like a faultless saint in the situation, but I refused to back down. I’m right, period. End of. And I will not budge. And I didn’t care what happened as a result of this meeting. Don’t like the gig anyway and technically didn’t need the money. I’m just here because why not. < shrug >
In the end, after I wouldn’t back down and continued to lay out the endless proof of Lisa’s bad way of handling things and speaking to Scott she finally conceded. All the issues I brought up in that meeting changed after that, and things became much better. But all of Lisa’s worst traits could be boiled down to being Virgo. And it was why she was not cut out for being a supervisor. Cold, critically harsh, nitpicking everything in an overboard way, unrealistic expectations, unforgiving and persnickity bully. Interestingly enough Lisa and I were actually work buds, which was the whole reason I felt I could even call the meeting in the first place. We got on very well when she was being normal. Scorps and Virgos do ultimately go together. (And on a sidenote there is a LOT I could say about that, about Scorpio males and Virgo females, and Virgo males with Scorpio females in romantic relationships. Just HO-LY-SHIT level “it’s a thing.” As a Scorp female I’ve had three Virgo ex boyfriends. But you see it even in same-sex platonic friendships and work relationships as well. Scorps and Virgos get on fabulously, because all the Water signs get on well, maybe even best, with all the Earth signs. Mainstream astrology will tell us that Water gets on best with Water, but that’s not really true from everything I’ve experienced and witnessed firsthand of all the people around me in life, going back decades.)
And the meeting didn’t affect anything in a negative way, and we were actually even better after the meeting than before. We became this full on “kick ass team.” I got some HTML training from one of the I.T. guys after that meeting and picked up on it extremely fast and very well, getting to the point where I could eyeball a wall of code and recognize where to insert in new strings of code and where to modify existing lines of code in order to create desired results. The two of us were doing the work of at least three employees once Scott left, and then even four employees, and textbook sales revenues were so high due to the amount of emails we were able to fix/format/crank out in daily blasts that Lisa had to modify the sales tracking graph chart to keep up with the numbers that surpassed what the current graph was capable of tracking. But Lisa was appreciative of the way I handled the situation, going to her directly, instead of running around behind her back tattling to her supervisors, as she relayed. I was her confidante when she decided she’d had enough of that gig and was secretly job searching, keeping me in the loop about how that was going, how she’d revised her resume to maximize responses, the interviews she was going on, etc. And Lisa in turn became my voluntary job reference when I decided to leave as well (the realization of, “There IS no job here without Lisa….If she’s leaving then this gig is done….”) and even threw me a going away breakfast thing on my last day. My last day happened to coincide with the day she was able to offiicially give notice, since she’d locked down not one, but two new jobs that she planned to work at simultaneously. Confrontation doesn’t have to be negative. It’s all in how you handle it. If you handle it calmly, confidently, like a mature boss in control, it can have a very positive outcome.
A good famous example I think of the Virgo persnickity bully thing would be “Dr.” Phil. (9/1/50). Off his show, giving interviews and whatnot, he acts normal. On his show? He flips into persnickity bully mode. AND year of the angry (1950) Tiger mode. Always a lot of quiet anger underlying him. And granted, he has a LOT of insufferable people on his show, no doubt, so it can be hard to be diplomatic in such a situation. But I’ve definitely seen more than one episode where he was truly being a weirdly angry, persnickity little bully for no apparent reason, and where multiple people were even questioning his behavior in the comments. Factoring in his numerological life path of #7 (again, something we’ll definitely be getting into in detail later) which is cool headed and analytical, it’s all very fitting. I looked him on astro.com when editing this to add him in, and see that his Moon was also located in fellow calm/leveled Earth sign, and stubborn, Fixed/Power Boss sign Taurus. Dr. Phil only seems to run in two modes on his show. Angry, persnickity bully, or emotionally disconnected/leveled/analytical, where nothing elicits the slightest bit of emotional empathetic reaction from him.
The Virgo tendency towards meticulous organization ultimately stems from their need to control their personal worlds. The need to hyper control and organize often stems from a feeling of being powerless. And Virgo is a Mutable sign, which is the weakest of the three feminine Earth signs, so it makes sense. If you’re feeling weak, powerless and “out of control” deep down or are phobic about feeling that way then yeah, you may find yourself resorting to almost OCD levels of control, organization, nitpicking and ritual to combat it. So it also means that Virgos are often red penning it through life. “WRONG!! X!!! NOPE!!!! TRY AGAIN!!! WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!! WRONG!!!! X!!!!” as they circle and cross out everything they see and hear with the giant figurative, but often literal, red pen. Goes back to the accounting thing mentioned earlier.
At various jobs over the years there’s been multiple attempts to route me into accounting and “due diligence” duties, where checks, invoices and all sorts of legal related paperwork and insurance and various bureaucracy needed to be scrutinized and in order, including accounting balances. And yeah, it was something I was really good at, and was directly told I was really good at. (The same way I became very good, very quickly, at the tedious HTML coding thing at the above mentioned email marketing gig.) Probably helped in large part to my Virgo moon, no doubt, which is why I’m mentioning it. But I couldn’t keep going with it, and actually pulled the plug on one permanent, full time job back in 2017 for three main reasons, but that being one of the three. I LOATHED spending my days red penning the world, finding all the mistakes and having to snipe at just SO many people (vendors, contractors etc.) to resubmit CORRECT invoices, CORRECT insurance, CORRECT Notice to Owners, CORRECT Releases of Liens, going back and forth trying to explain accounting balances to people and doing the math for them because they aren’t able to mentally keep up. But you name it, everything was wrong at every turn, and I was losing my mind at the world’s stupidity and laziness and the constant extra work it meant for me, and I didn’t enjoy being THAT PERSON. I have too much other aspects in my chart contradicting the Virgo moon to settle for being “the Virgo Moon.” “Life’s too short, and I have options, bitches!” Pulled the plug and walked away. A lot of other people fall into becoming Sour Milk People however, and don’t even resist, they just let it happen mindlessly, truly acting like an empty vessel that can be puppeted into everything they’ve been socially trained and programmed astrologically/numerologically to be. But that’s where awareness and mindfulness is vitally important. So for me it was a mindful choice to focus instead on the people/social/fun and positive aspects of the Scorpio sun, Leo rising, Year of the Tiger and Life Path #5 for future jobs.
And I will also say this though – at a job I had back in ’95 where I was a cocktail server one of the bartenders was trying to guess my sign, and guessed Virgo, based on my generally reserved/controlled nature, coupled with the organized and meticulous way in which I worked. He technically wasn’t wrong, being that my moon is Virgo. I’ll reiterate throughout this writeup that our Moon sign is just as important as the Sun, and that sometimes in various situations people are manifesting more of their Moon than their Sun. And it makes sense that at work, no matter what I’ve done, from my first stint as a professional babysitter in business for myself, to waitressing and cocktailing, to hotel front desk, and on up to higher level office work, I’ve always immediately fallen back on my Virgo Moon……..because Virgo ensures attention to detail, perfectionism and organization in all areas. And thus…..has enabled me to be able to perform better, and thus keep my job and even move up and up, and make more and more money as time went on.
The plus side of Virgos, besides their organized, disciplined and hard working nature, is being service oriented. So people with strong Virgo in their charts may very well find themselves serving people in some capacity. And yeah, this has been a hugely driving factor in my life, this “need to help and be of service” even with a moon in Virgo. Worked for years as an actual waitress and cocktail server, go figure, and everything I ever did with my free website and book was born out of this compulsive drive to serve and make a difference. Including all the voluntary charity work I’ve done over the years in so many forms, to the tune of many hundreds of hours. (On a sidenote: I’m not saying this service component completely stems from my astrology – I believe we can and often do pick our time of births/astrology to be that match for our soul mission, something we’ll be getting back to. But this idea is possibly bolstered by the fact that I was born a week late. [And even then I still didn’t want to come out. :D It took over 24 hours to get me out.] But if I’d come out on time, a week earlier, I would have had a different moon and different rising sign, which wouldn’t have been in alignment with what my incarnational mission was. So maybe my birth was purposely delayed on a higher level. “Everything in its right time.” ;) Who knows.)
Also oddly enough, Virgos can also can have a tendency to talk too much in my experience. Just on and on. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this mentioned in any astrology source, yet I’ve seen it so often that it’s actually helped me to peg people as being Virgo. So it’s a real thing, that’s all I can say. And once again, as a young child I was being constantly told by my teachers that I “talk too much.” And my website is probably testament to me “talking too much.” As well as my book. As well as my Gab. ;) So even a Virgo moon can cause this apparently.
Sometimes being a good talker has its benefits. But I have known more than one Virgo who doesn’t know when to just zip it already. A good famous example would be Charlie Sheen (9/3), when he was going through his infamous meltdown a few years back. Talk about a guy who needed to just sit down and put a lid on it. O.o Then at a previous job back in 2023 I was stuck on a call with a female colleague who works remote, and I became impatient because this chick just wouldn’t SHUT UP. Holy cow. As she went on and on and ON I grabbed the phone extension list, which also had the employees’ birthdays, thinking Okay, WHAT IS THIS CHICK’S BIRTHDAY…. And sure enough…..9/8. I KNEW it had to be one of three things though – Aquarius, Gemini or Virgo. It just HAD to be. It was so obvious. Another thing she once mentioned in passing on the phone? “…..I’m kind of anal retentive when it comes to my email…..” Of course. “Anal Retentive” is one of those “Virgo Dead Giveaway Phrases.” :D
Another time when trying to determine the sign of my former coworker Blair (mentioned earlier in the Aquarius section) I couldn’t decide between Aquarius or Virgo. Why? Because she was hyper critical, persnickity, analytical and perfectionistic to the point of full on OCD, which is all Virgo. As well as being emotionally cold, which is both Aquarius and Virgo. And she was also weird AF. Seriously just one of the weirdest chicks I’ve ever worked with to this day, which is totally Aquarius. She was always saying WEEEEIRD shit out of nowhere and being socially awkward/Aspergers-ish. (Like trying to strike up a conversation with my colleague Terry about feminine hygiene, thinking she was being cute and funny. O.o Just because. You know, ‘cause that’s a totally normal thing to talk about. Just totally unable to read the room…..ever. Terry and I were both just speechless.) Along with being adamantly against having kids because “….I don’t have any love in me….” as mentioned earlier in this write up. Which can be that cold, female Aquarian trait. And she didn’t know when to just zip it either. Always up at the front desk where me and Terry sat, talking on and on AT us whether we wanted to talk to her or not, just WAY past what would be socially normal, not taking hints that we were busy. Which is both Aquarius and Virgo. Just could not make up my mind between the two signs. Well, guess what. She was both. Aquarius sun. Virgo Moon. So I was correct on both fronts. I was also correct in that I was leaning more towards Aquarius, with Virgo coming in second. (Ultimately it was her bizarre, socially awkward quirkiness that had me leaning more towards Aquarius. Mutable, feminine, self controlled, low key/leveled and perfectionistic Virgos know better than to say or do the bizarre things that Fixed/power driven, masculine, extroverted, kooky freespirit Aquariuses often say and do. ) That’s often the case with Sun and Moon signs. The sun is the dominating one, the Moon is running underneath as a secondary energy as I’ve seen.
When researching what signs seemed to be most represented in the field of stand up comedy Virgo repeatedly came up, along with Gemini and Sagittarius, as one of the most oft-represented signs for some of the most famous comedians who have made it to the top and who many people have heard of: Dave Chappelle, Louis CK, Adam Sandler, John Mulaney, Whitney Cummings, Bob Newhart, Molly Shannon, Damon Wayans, Jimmy Fallon, Kat Williams, Matt Rife, Jimmy Carr, Leslie Jones, Jeff Foxworthy, Chris Tucker, and more. At first it surprised me, since Virgos are often noted for their reserved natures. But it boils down to what I noted earlier in the Leo section – what are the main motivations for stand up comics? Laughing away their pain, looking for acceptance, and/or they enjoy the art of crafting intelligent, clever jokes and experiencing the payoff when an audience roars with laughter. The latter is very Virgo, while also usually overlapping with the looking for acceptance thing, since they’re a weak Mutable sign, and also heavily factoring in Virgos’ “Chatty Cathy” trait.
I like to post vid clips of people in action if it really represents the energies I’m trying to describe in this write up, and one that I came across recently involved Virgo (Mutable/weak/feminine) stand up comic Louis CK, detailing his cringy encounter with Leo (Fixed/Power Boss/masculine) Oscar nominated actor and director Ed Norton. The clip pretty much explains it all in terms of what Mutable energy can be. There’s Louis, who granted is considered a top standup comedian no doubt….meekly skulking about near Ed Norton trying to get his attention and approval/compliments, and then just outright soliciting it when the hovering didn’t work. Louis, being the needy (feminine Earth) Virgo Beta, to Ed’s dominating (masculine Fire) Leo Alpha. Ed didn’t even notice Louis and just politely gave him some half ass acknowledgement when Louis forced him to notice him. :D As mentioned at the beginning, once people learn the traits and power levels of each sign that pretty much becomes all you can see when you know people’s signs and are watching them interact with each other. And the fact that Louis was proudly telling this story is another component of his weird, weak personality, where he’s always displaying this need to embarrass/humiliate himself.
Will leave off by saying…..Virgos can also be sexually perverted, maybe due to their repression. This definitely applies to some of the celebs who’ve either been accused of sex crimes, or actually arrested, charged and mugshotted for sex crimes. And often times we’re not just talking the one lone chick who comes forward and makes an accusation against a male celeb one time, though it can involve that. We’re talking substantial allegations, and sometimes involving accusations of pedophilia and all around debauched perversion. Another reason for it, as mentioned earlier, is that there seems to be a pattern with the Mutable signs in general, of which includes Pisces, Gemini and Sagittarius, in terms of being the weakest of each element, and therefore seeming to need to try to “get their power back” from anybody who’s more vulnerable than them.
But some notable Virgo examples included Michael Jackson. (accused pedophile.) Armie Hammer. (engaged in BDSM with women that claim they were not always consenting, along with wanting to cut off chunks of their flesh or toes to tote around in his pocket and eat….O.o ) Bryan Singer. (major pedophile.) Jared Fogle. (major pedophile, now in prison.) Louis CK. (Him again. ;) Harassing women lower than him on the industry totem pole by cornering them/locking them in a room and exposing himself to and forcing them to watch him wank, then had his people threaten their careers/livelihood if they spoke out, as well as questionable kids-related material in some of his stand up, which makes ya wonder….) Charlie Sheen. (Corey Haim’s rapist back in the day on the set of “Lucas” when Corey was only 14, as well as accusations of kiddie porn from his ex Denise Richards, and all around debauched lifestyle with prostitutes/escorts and porn stars that led to him losing his teeth and contracting HIV.) And on a minor level, Asia Argento (underage teen boy), Kobe Bryant (female rape accuser), Bill O’Reilly (multiple women accusers for sexual harassment), Mario Batalli (multiple women accusers for sexual harassment) and then Paul Reubens/Pee-Wee Herman. Reuben’s first arrest involved jerking off in an adult porn theater, and the second involved a couple of questionable vintage photographs of kids that were apparently part of large groups of vintage photo collections he had purchased in bulk from dealers. But no actual sex assaults, or true “kiddie porn,” and so the charges were later dropped. But his image was forever associated with “possible kiddie porn” and “wanker who gets busted in an adult theater instead of jerking off at home like a regular person.”
And there’s probably more on the Virgo perv list if I kept researching. Doesn’t mean Virgo has the market cornered on sex assault claims, only that they had a higher than average representation happening when I did research into high level celebs specifically, along with the other three mutable signs. And there was that emphasis on full blown pedophilia and underage teen sex. :/
And for “all time famous serial killers” a few Virgos made it onto the list, including Ed Gein – not just a serial killer, but a grave robber/dead body parts collector/corpse mutilator, who became THE inspiration of so many Hollywood movies everybody’s heard of; Rodney “The Dating Game Killer” Alcala, Henry Lee Lucas, Paul “The School Girl Killer” Bernardo, Albert “The Boston Strangler” DeSalva, and the recent Rex Heurmann, now known as the Long Island/Gilgo Beach serial killer who targeted nothing but younger, vulnerable women and prostitutes. Among other Virgos. Rex was known to call the family members of one of his victims to taunt them about her death – i.e., the whole “desperately trying to wield power” thing. :/
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Air, Masculine, Cardinal
I don’t know if there’s such a thing as an ugly Libra. Kind of kidding but kind of not. In the same way Aries can often manifest a particular look, Libra also can too.
The symbol for Libra is the scales, representing not only a focus on justice and equality, but also a balanced personality, and where the balance thing often extends into their physical looks as well. Their faces are often very well put together, with the Phi ratio/perfect proportions and nice symmetry. And especially for the males, since Libra is a masculine air sign. When one’s gender is in alignment with the masculine/feminine energy of their astrology it makes for good results usually. (So yes, you can see odd results when you have genders that are in conflict with their astrologies.) Over and over again when I’ve seen good looking actors/tresses or singers and entertainers they turn out to be Libras.
A great example of this that I recently came across would be the IMDB.com profile pic for Libra actor Eric Stoltz, (9/30) who’s using an old pic of himself from a couple of decades ago. But it shows exactly what I mean by the “perfectly balanced good looking Libra face.” I recently realized that actor Mark Hammill, back in his prime in the first few Star Wars in the 70s and 80s, was strikingly similar looking to Eric. When I looked him up it turns out he’s also a Libra, and his birthday is 9/25. They look like they could be cousins or even brothers. When I did my research on IMDB, looking up people born in Libra, it was a list of ENDLESS people that I’d never even heard of, but who were ridiculously hot/perfect looking. And one might think, “Well yeah all the people you were seeing on IMDB were good looking, it’s because they’re making a living as actors and actresses, they have to look good.” All I can say is that it was truly disproportionate with Libra, even in the world of “typically good looking actors and actresses.” And another great example of nailing somebody’s astrology first guess immediately based on looks alone happened while finishing up this write up. I came across some article about French actress Brigitte Bardot, featuring photos of how she looked in her prime. And since I had astrology on the brain I immediately thought “She has to be a Libra….” It was just so obvious. Looked it up. 9/28. Bingo. Again. I could have made a collage of “The Distinct Libra Look” but in a lot of ways it would probably be boring, because it would just be dozens and dozens of ridiculously perfect looking people. ;D
The whole “scales of justice” thing can actually be a prominent component of the Libra personality. A burning need for fairness and justice. In one case many years ago in ’93 I correctly guessed a female coworker as being Libra in less than a minute because she was complaining repeatedly (but in a good natured, smiley way) about something just being “so unfair! It’s so unfair!!” Sure enough…she was an October Libra. And sure, maybe it was just a coincidence, but still…..what are the odds. My Libra ex Steve’s desire during the time period I was with him was to be a lawyer, specifically to correct the injustices and wrongs in the world, especially in terms of corrupt cops and judges as he relayed. That sort of thing could get him (quietly) fired up. Didn’t end up happening for him, but that was the desire.
The plus side of Libra is that they’re often a very pleasant and easygoing sign to deal with. Even when they’re complaining. ;) Not a sign that’s typically loud, abrasive, combative or rough around the edges. They outwardly “play nice” you could say; behave nice, speak nice, everything is just typically pleasant and nice. Even debonair with the males. They’re typically not the people dropping F bombs and coarse, colorful language or getting in your face to fight you. So once again, noticing that “polar opposite contrast” to Libra’s opposite sign of the zodiac…..Aries, half a year away. It’s not just about the looks, it’s also about the personality energy. An Aries’ first instinct tends towards “Creating Conflict” – arguing, Devil’s Advocate disagreeing for personal amusement, kneejerk rebelling, and even physically fighting people. A Libra’s tends to be diplomacy and restraint. Doesn’t mean a Libra doesn’t get mad or pop their top. It just seems to take them a little longer to get there than others, since they usually do their best to keep themselves under control for as long as possible. (And I have literally watched that with multiple Libras, male and female, when life was backing them up against a wall in some sort of situation, often at work. Gritting their teeth, baring down, holding it in and forcing themselves to speak quietly, politely, restrained, but where their eyes gave away their true inner pissed off feelings.) If they have something negative to voice they typically do it diplomatically. Or at least….in a quietly snide/sarcastic way, which we’ll be getting back to in a moment.
But this is why, yet again, that meme cartoon image I linked to at the beginning was so accurate. The image summary for Libra shows a person who’s true inner state is a mess, with the GRRRR! mouth………….but wearing a blank, NPC mask. Not showing how they really feel on the outside.
Going hand in hand with all that pleasantness is the fact that Libra is an Air sign, and as mentioned at the beginning of this piece, Air signs are typically not known for entertaining negative histrionics and heavy, intense drama. It’s very off putting for them. They like people and situations to be pleasant, polite, light and easygoing.
Dakota Johnson’s (10/4) infamous interview on ‘Ellen,’ posted on YouTube, where she had to correct Ellen/put Ellen in her place is the absolute epitome of Libra diplomacy, and the way in which they can often times quietly, politely handle negative or awkward situations and come out on top, and look flawless while doing so. Both are Air signs (Ellen being the Fixed/“Power Boss” Aquarius) so the back and forth is seemingly polite, pleasant and light. But Ellen is obviously trying to be the Big Boss in that equation, trying to corner Dakota, dominate and catch her offguard with her awkward accusation, like the bully she apparently is. But Dakota, the Cardinal/secondary power player Libra, isn’t having it.
The downside of Libras that I’ve seen in both the females and males is that they can have a penchant for smart ass arrogance. Because they’re so emotionally cold/detached, and intellectual-based they can get really arrogant for some reason. They know freaking EVERYTHING, and aren’t afraid to patronize you with their faces and voice tones. One of the biggest all time examples? Simon Cowell (10/7). This guy’s entire professional career has been based on being a smart ass talent judge on multiple talent competition shows over the past two decades. If anybody exemplifies somebody who’s NOT afraid to patronize by pulling faces and affecting that arrogant smart ass tone, acting like the smartest guy in the room, it’s Simon. (gotta love when he “absentmindedly” rubs his cheek with his middle finger when he’s exceptionally annoyed by a massively bad “contestant” who’s been purposely inserted in by producers for entertainment’s sake, the big “FU” extended to the true power players/decision makers behind the scenes….) But he also delivers his critiques with that stereotypical Libra, and British, debonair quality. Being born in 1971, year of Pig, probably doesn’t help matters either, being that one major trait of the Pig year is being.…pig headed, as I’ve seen multiple times firsthand in life.
Go to any interview for actress Brie Larson (10/1) on YouTube and see all the endless comments complaining about how she comes off. Same with Jesse Eisenberg. (10/5.) (The comments are so revealing. One that I liked said “All she [the interviewer] did was treat him like a regular person and that just bugged him.” Exactly. Jesse’s arrogance is off the charts, especially when he said “You’re on MY time.”) And another one I realized when compiling this write up is Dr. Younan Nowzaraden (“Dr. Now”) from the show “My 600-lb Life.” (10/11.) Very logical, cerebral and emotionally detached, he has no time for people’s nonsense and excuses and will let people know in his low key, snarky, smart ass stereotypical Libra fashion. I’ve also watched clips where he’s meeting weight loss contenders for the first time and just arrogantly makes all these assumptions about what’s happened in their life, and/or the roles that the people sitting next to them have played, without even bothering to ask or do his personal resesarch first. And it turns out he’s massively wrong. oops. Time to eat crow. But that’s the downside of Libra, as I’ve seen firsthand in both the males and females. They think they know EVERYTHING, to the point of arrogant, smart ass assumptions. It’s wild. And Dr. Now has been known to piss off more than one show participant over the years because of these traits, since participants were expecting warm, emotive, and somebody who accepts the mountain of bullshit they’re spewing, sympathetically giving them a pass. (I think most everybody on that show on both sides of the fence are annoying and insufferable.) If you’re looking for sympathy and coddling from a Libra, or the Air signs in general, you’re often not going to get it.
Another ultimate example? The ‘NSA Interview’ speech from “Good Will Hunting,” performed by Matt Damon…10/8. And also written by Damon as well, which is just as important to note. So this is completely him, his words, his ideas, his choice of characterization. But nothing epitomizes “arrogant/egotistical, smart ass, intellectual, communication-oriented masculine Air sign Libra” better than this very verbose scene.
Kind of reminds me of how years ago I saw my then 12-13 year old Libra half-sister (10/18) posting online….battling bullies in one of those “Question and Answer” forum things that kids liked to do back then, truthfully answering whatever oddball and intrusive, and downright rude/bullying questions are thrown at them and dealing with the results. And in doing so she was calmly, coldly, matter-of-factly, running smart ass intellectual circles around any kid who was trying to verbally fight with her, sounding like she was in her 30s. It wasn’t even a fair fight, like she was shooting fish (or rather, mental midgets) in a barrel. I was just like “Wow…..holy shit……O.o “ reading her responses and the way she handled them. Half those kids probably didn’t even know what hit them. (Her Capricorn moon also gave her that layer of dark, slightly heavy melancholy and interest in the macabre, Cap traits mentioned earlier. So just like my Capricorn Moon buddy Stacy back in the day, also mentioned earlier, she too was interested in the occult. At only 13 saying stuff in emails like, “I want to study necromancy!” that left me going “Whaaaaat are you even TALKING about girl???? Holy shit…..” I was 35 and didn’t even know what that was. O.o All I could tell was that it had “necro” in the word, indicating something to do with dead whatever. Had to Google it.)
At my current job in 2024 the Facilities Manager guy Chris is also a Libra (9/30) and embodies probably every stereotypical Libra trait you can think of. Talks WAY, WAY, WAY too much for starters. Super chatty, as all the Air signs tend to be. As mentioned in the Aquarius section, the Air sign chattiness thing has been really noticeable for me with the males, because it’s atypical for guys. But Chris’ mouth is always just going, going, going. All he ever does unfortunately is try to use me to bounce himself off of superficially. And the conversation is always on HIS terms. What HE wants to talk about, as he makes sure to always keep it fun and light, by his standards. Nothing deep or meaningful ever. The second others start to talk about themselves or something that he’s not interested in discussing (which is most things) he finds a way to end the convo and slip away, everytime. His personality overall is friendly, affable/personable and pleasant, in typical Libra fashion, somebody who just tries to Get Along. A HUGE people pleaser, to his detriment though in many ways. It often comes back to bite him in the butt. When interacting with anybody he’s always very diplomatic and fair minded. Though when chatting with me one-on-one in private he’ll reveal his true thoughts about everybody, and it’s always smart ass and very snarky. ;) Along with just a whole lotta self aggrandizing ego bravado cockiness. (A big part of his personality is his Year of the Horse attributes, which is high energy, friendly, cheerful and somebody who demands attention when they walk into a room, among other traits. He’s definitely a mix of Libra Horse.) And as far as emotions go? He couldn’t be more superficial, somebody who NEEDS to keep it light, always. He is NOT an emotions-based person, AT all. In fact when the former office manager Cheri used to work at our job (mentioned back in the Pisces section) and she was going through her exaggerated emotional breakdown and Mopey Eeyore thing, he was always trying to get away from her. In one particular instance she was putting on her manipulative “I’m trying to hold myself back from crying as we stand here together in the office supplies room” and as he later reported to me his eyes got huge like “oh shit…..” then started sloooowly backing out of the room like “Gotta run!” Then bailed out. ;D That’s just classic Air sign male behavior in general, which admittedly I do find amusing. Chris just wants to keep it light, fun, pleasant, chatty and superficial at all times. Everybody just get along. Everything be cool. But the second it isn’t? The second anything might start to go the slightest bit deep or real? Conversation over, full stop. He bails. Once again, why astrology helps us to navigate people out in the world. It helps us understand why they are the way they are. Why they behave as they do, and react as they do.
At a former job of mine a few years ago the massively cold, arrogant, smart ass know-it-all Libra female pseudo-“office manager” named Nicole (10/13) was so much like my ex Steve (10/1) that I couldn’t stop marveling about it. Kept saying “She’s the female version of Steve!!” to myself. Only to learn…..she too was a double Libra, sun AND moon. Same as him. AND a numerological Life Path 1….same as him. Go figure. So once again, patterns, patterns, patterns, validating things. Both Steve and Nicole knew EVERYTHING apparently, and neither could handle anybody around them stating a factoid about anything. “Oh, you think you know something?? You think you’re smarter than me??” um hm. Cue “the look” that comes over both their faces, the attitude, as they kneejerk need to find any way to quietly and snidely correct and patronize and get the upperhand and dominate. Of which the Life Path 1 factor wasn’t helping, since 1’s are known to be competitive, and that was definitely a prime motivation underlying both of them: The desperate need to compete/know everything/be better than everybody else, at anything, no matter how trivial. But with Steve his out of control double Libra, Life Path 1 arrogance and competitive ego led to a quiet form of intermittent verbal and psychological abuse that steadily progressed with me as the years went on, until I finally pulled the plug and ended the relationship. (And I say quiet because in typical Libra form there isn’t usually outward displays of loud violence and yelling. Overall it tends to be emotionally cold and restrained, quiet and low key with Libras, males and females, which was the norm with him. With the exception of three incidents in the five years I knew him, two of those incidents happening when we were together as a couple. But almost always baring down and holding himself back against the world 99% of the time, the same thing I’ve seen with multiple other Libras over many years.)
Related to this trait was how Steve also LOVED to quietly insult people straight to their faces and have it all go
The other eye opening and very specific thing Nicole had in common with Steve was that she only liked to engage in conversation on her terms. She needed to be the one instigating it, when she wanted, and only about specific things she wanted to “socialize” about. Sounds familiar…….you know, exactly as Libra Chris just mentioned above. ;) And the second she was done she would pull a Jeckyl and Hyde, same as Steve, complete with the face and eyes going cold/hard/dark the way he would do, and just silently drop me and look way, the conversation abruptly dropping off a cliff. Nothing more to say on the matter, or to me in general. “Friendly” one second then “I don’t know you” the next. Until the next time she felt like suddenly using me to bounce herself off of, then suddenly we’re supposed to be friends again. Switch on the fake friendship like a switch…then switch it off again. The whole “using me to superficially bounce herself off of” is the same trait I’ve experienced with the other Air signs of Aquarius and Gemini, in different variations, and all three of the Fire signs as well, for both females and males, as mentioned elsewhere throughout this write up. For me personally it’s one of the Air and Fire signs’ hallmark traits.
But once again, it’s why learning about astrology, and each personality’s motivations, can help one understand the people around them better and to navigate through life in general a lot easier. Doesn’t mean we have to agree with the way others are being, or tolerate it by keeping them in our lives if they continue to massively overstep. But understanding what’s going on, that this is their base instinct hardwired personality stamping, and that in most ways they truly can’t help themselves, because we’re all “victims of the so-called Matrix,” whatever it actually is, can make it a whole lot easier to brush it off/not take it personal and just plow past it. Some signs prefer deeper, more meaningful and actual emotions-based interactions. Others simply don’t have it in them to be that way, and therefore go through life in a more shallow, surface skimming way, keeping things light, detached and dodging out the second things look like they may even start to get heavy.
With Nicole though she really was a bully. Nothing likable about her. Just a little more quiet/subtle about it than other signs might be. After a year and a half of me working there we finally had to have A TALK one day, after yet another bizarre, covert bullying incident. I don’t deal with low key/quiet, shady and snide bullshit. So in your typical direct, blunt, “face to face, look you straight in the eyes” Fixed/“Power Boss” Scorpio year of the Tiger confrontational fashion (while maintaining classy professionalism; no yelling, cussing, name calling, etc. thanks to the cool headed/analytical/reserved Virgo moon and communication planet Mercury housed in Libra) I had to confront her on her ongoing behavior and let her know, enough’s enough. Knock it (TF!!) off. All she could do was stare back at me with giant wide eyes and a herp! derp! face, saying nothing, because she couldn’t deny it. Most covert bullies react that way when directly confronted. But she was just always trying to posture herself above anybody who wasn’t a boss, and engaging in low key bully game playing with several of the office females, myself included, which contributed probably to 50-60% of the reason I eventually left that particular job, since we only sat like five feet apart and had to work so closely together. (This was the same job mentioned in the Virgo section where I also had to red pen everything, all day long, and which was turning me into a “Sour Milk Person.”)
I managed to find a way to work around Nicole’s behavior, which was to no longer engage with her in a social capacity at all. So for the entire last year and a half it was just “good morning” and “goodbye” with a smile, and nothing else in between unless it related to work only. Solved the problem of her trying to use me to bounce herself off on then switching into Mr. Hyde mode, and solved the problem of her incessant intellectual pissing contests/ego-based “one-upping.” (It was interesting to see her reactions once I implemented my new policy of no longer socializing with her. ;) The first few times she tried to use me on her terms all she got was a polite smile and quick nod, like, “That’s nice” as I turned back to my computer and continued working, while she frowned and looked confused. Took a few times over the course of that first month for her to realize….this is how it is now. I don’t engage with you. I don’t like you, we’re not friends, so find somebody else to use.) But that was half the reason I wound up quitting. I may have found that temporary solution/fix to handle my issues with Nicole’s personality, but for the permanent forever long term? No. I don’t entertain that nonsense. I could not even IMAGINE still being there five years….ten years…. Holy shit. Two and a half was my limit. And I knew Nicole was going NOWHERE in terms of leaving. She was a sloth-y year of the Ox who was glued to her chair, always slumped down in the corner at her desk, even for her lunch since she NEVER left her desk, even for breaks. Oxes are in it for the forever long haul. And I knew that she had no desire to leave that job. She was a Lifer – somebody who’d already been there for over five years and was probably going to be there another 20, glued to that seat, slumped down in the corner with her sloth-y, bad energy for the rest of her life if possible. They’d have to pry her out of that seat with a crowbar. The office is way too small, life is way too short, and there’s a whole big world out there, where I can do much better than Nicole, and Sour Milk work duties. And did. Adios. Same as what I eventually had done with her “astrological and numerological same-sy” Steve, once it became obvious nothing was going to change there either.
Scorpio
Water, Feminine, Fixed
October 23 – November 21
This one is going to be a little longer than the others, because not only am I a Scorpio (11/9), but it’s also the most complex and notorious/infamous sign of the zodiac.
We’ll hit the ground running by saying that I’ve been able to accurately peg various celebs and real life everyday people I’m reading about in non-fiction books/articles/etc. as being Scorpio right away due to their behavior. It’s not just mere bad behavior. It’s DIABOLICAL. O.o And it gives them away IMMEDIATELY. (Once again, that cartoon meme I linked to that the beginning nailed it. The image depicting Scorpio? The Devil. O.o )
When a Scorpio is displaying diabolical tendencies we’re talking things like the highest levels of abuse of power and authority, control, blackmail, extortion and exploitation; narcissism and self absorbed “me! me! me! look at me! it’s all about me all the time!!!!” egomania; manipulativeness, along with physical, verbal, emotional and sexual abuse; obsession, which can lead to full on stalking; Extreme vice abuse – drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, you name it, and sometimes all of the above combined; sexual debauchery and depravity that seems to have no limits in some cases; criminal masterminding, plotting and scheming; and vindictive revenge the likes of which most people have never experienced….until trying to screw over a Scorpio and finding out the hard way. Scorpios seemed to have invented the phrase “Fuck around…..find out.”
Jimmy Saville, 10/31, is an unfortunate good example off the top of my head, one of the most prolific, disgusting pedophiles in entertainment industry history. Another biggie includes notorious Belgium pedophile and serial killer Marc Dutroux, 11/6. And of course infamous cult leader and murderer Charles Manson – 11/12. In another repeating pattern we’ve seen throughout this write up, I was able to peg teen murderer Aiden Fucci as being Scorpio immediately when watching his sentencing vid on YT. Hearing about what he did at only 14 years old when he stabbed a girl 114 times in pre-meditated cold blood, just because, for fun, as well as seeing the look in his effeminate potato face and deadened eyes, the only thought I kept having was “I bet he’s a [feminine, Water sign] Scorpio…..” Went online to research, and sure enough……….11/6. A few years ago it was the case of singer Ryan Adams, who used to be married to singer and actress Mandy Moore. As I read through the sexual misconduct claims being made against him, which was nothing but abuse of power, exploitation, manipulation, sexual deviancy/pedophilia and vindictive revenge, I just knew. Looked him up, and sure enough….11/5.
And right as I was finishing this article there was yet another. From the DailyMail website: Diddy – real name Sean Combs – is sued by ex-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie for rape and repeated physical abuse over a decade: Music mogul ‘vehemently’ denies allegations. As I read through the article, and the allegations got worse, and worse, and more sordid, debauched and diabolical, I just knew….this dude HAS to be a Scorpio. Looked him up, and yup….11/4. :/ More, and worse allegations have continued to emerge about him from other women since Cassie’s initial claim, backing up multiple debauched blind gossips I’ve seen about this guy over the years. Including that he’s one of the rappers responsible for raping a 15/16 year old Justin Bieber and passing him around to other men in the industry. As more and more evidence and stories emerge it seems Diddy’s probably going to go down as one of the most prolific diabolical abusers in music industry history, and on par with Jeffrey Epstein in terms of his use of hidden cameras in his mansions for blackmail/control/extortion. The big FBI raid on all his mansions wasn’t to gather evidence to go to trial. It was to gather up and hide the evidence, to protect everybody involved. :/
One of the other most notorious traits of this sign is the “Scorpio stinger,” and the way in which their words will deliberately go for the jugular, cutting one down to the core of their being and leaving people shook. And of course in general, many Scorpios’ fascination with all things death related, and the paranormal and occult. But when taken to its extremes can lead to VERY dark places, playing into the need for power and control.
On a more minor, less harmful note, Scorpios are also notorious for being private, but also downright secretive. Very good at finding out everybody else’s dirt, but while revealing almost nothing of juicy substance about themselves and remaining a bit of an enigma in many instances. Unless they want you to know….you’re not gonna know. Makes me think of all the jobs I’ve had where, by the time I left, it was like I knew everything about all the people around me………and they knew pretty much NOTHING about me. Even maybe after working directly among them for several years, I may as well have been a total stranger they only met last week. Polite, friendly, peppy, helpful, absolutely, can even make them laugh….but they know pretty much nothing about me personally, and I deliberately keep myself on the outside. Unless I’ve decided that somebody is indeed a work friend, and I genuinely like them and feel like they’re trustworthy (and there’s been only a very small handful of those over the last few decades) then I barely talk about myself, and learned the art of deflection whenever people try to pry into my business, to the point where they don’t even realize I’m doing it. (it’s not that hard…keep it vague, and find a way to innocuously steer things back to the other person….most people can’t get enough of going on about themselves….) But meanwhile as everybody is usually talking AT me with their life stories, and which I’m always listening to, and remembering EVERYTHING, even if I don’t like the person who’s insisting on holding me hostage with their on and on. I may talk a lot in my writings about my personal life, but not in the everyday world.
Scorpios often have a lot of charisma and magnetism as well, which can be used for good or bad. When coupled with positive intents it can make for a very likable person that just draws people in. When coupled with negative intents it can lead to manipulative, cunning sociopath that just draws victims in.
I’ve met more than one person who was still traumatized by a Scorpio years after the fact. And even if a Scorpio isn’t going the full blown socio/psychopathic route their energy can still be extremely intense, because at the core its motivated by extreme emotional sensitivity. Feeling EVERYTHING too much, the bad and the good. TOO intense, just “too TOO much” as I’ve described it. I’ve met those ones too. Even those with “just” Scorpio moons can be too much to deal with. But this is one of two key components of Scorpio – the feels. It’s why they can lash back in retaliation that’s x10,000 of whatever was dished out to them, why they so readily reach for the bottle, the pills, the weed, etc., why they’re prone to suicidal ideation, attempts and actual success in that arena, why they can behave to the level of full blown personality disorder. It’s all motivated by intense emotions.
The other key component of Scorpio is how Scorpio is one of the four Fixed/“Power Signs” as I call it, which is why you’ll often see Scorps in positions of power. Or at least, bare minimum, the person who naturally jumps in, takes charge, and is an independent self starter in any aspect of life. It’s been said repeatedly that more world leaders throughout history have been Scorpios than any other sign. But combine that power boss energy, which ties into mega ego, and with that the need to control, along with intense Water sign/feminine emotions, and it’s why Scorpio is hands down not only the worst of the four Fixed signs, but the worst, most notorious sign of the entire zodiac. It’s so bad I try never to tell people out in the world (like at my jobs) what my birthday is if I can absolutely help it, because there’s such a preconceived negative stigma. And trust me, I’ve run into the instant judgments/stigma thing concerning Scorpio for years. Starting with my own so-called “mother.” I lived for real a version of the scene from the movie “Precious,” where Precious’ mother, played by Mo’Nique, is trying to defend the years of horrific abuse of Precious to their social worker, played by Mariah Carey, and she resorts to blaming Precious….because she’s a Scorpio. I too was abused for years in my own way and was later blamed by my “mom” that the problem was all me, because I’m a Scorpio, as well as just hearing her disparaging feelings about Scorps in general, merely because her own mother was a Scorpio, and they had a contentious relationship to put it mildly.
In another instance years ago when a female coworker named Meg asked me when my birthday was I rolled my eyes to myself because I knew what she was really fishing for. ;) My response was typical Scorpio. “Guess.” ;) Since she was a bit narcissistic her first guess was Cancer, just like herself. (Meg went through life interpreting everything happening around her as always being about her, or reflecting her in some way, or designed solely for her personal benefit. It was to the point of full on delusional, but that’s another story. But since she was drawn to me it meant in her mind I must be Cancer, just like her.) Nope, I shook my head. Meg started running through sign, after sign, after sign, after sign, and when she finally got to the eighth wrong guess I finally just straight up told her with a sigh, Scorpio.
“oooh…” Her eyes got huge and she slightly pulled back from me.
um hm. But that’s what it can often mean to be Scorpio in this world. O.o She proceeded to unload her negative criticisms of Scorpio, and relayed how traumatized she still was due to some psycho Scorpio ex boyfriend….from 25 years ago. Yup. But that wouldn’t be the only time in life I’ve been pre-judged when somebody found out I was Scorpio, anticipating some sort of psychotic energy. Meg fancied herself as some sort of expert on astrology, because she was a Kabbalist, and they’re all about drilling it into their followers’ head about sun sign astrology. Hence why she was always going around badgering everybody at our job about what their sign is/what’s their birthday. But that’s exactly where she went wrong, as I later told her. The exclusive focus on the Sun sign, to the detriment of the entire rest of one’s chart. If Meg applied the basic principles I’ve outlined in this write up for how to drill down on people’s traits – masculine vs. feminine; Air, Earth, Fire or Water; Fixed, Cardinal or Mutable power level, along with basic knowledge of the traits of each sign – then she could have figured me out in two seconds flat, instead of running through wrong guess after wrong guess and still never getting it right.
Interestingly enough Scorpio is also the only sign represented by more than one symbol. The Scorpion, the Eagle and the Phoenix. But a fully spirited body should have the ability and desire to try to transcend this terrible base energy that they’ve often been imprinted with when born under this sign, and which gives them impulses that need to be handled; from revenge that always takes it too far, to addictions, to the need for control and power. Starting as the scorpion, which is self explanatory, slinking around on the ground, hiding in dark places and lashing out with the stinger. Then becoming the majestic eagle, that soars above it, learning and evolving, becoming wise and balanced. Then finally the Phoenix. Total rebirth and transformation. So hey…..there is that. ;D
However……….the deeper I got into this write up the more and more I realized that Scorpio shouldn’t be represented by a scorpion. It should be represented by a snake. As we’ll soon see, I’ve even repeatedly described multiple female Scorpios I’ve known in life as moving and behaving like a snake. And snakes can often be venomous, lashing out with the sudden, poisonous bite, which aligns with the same idea of the scorpion’s deadly stinger.
After noting that I then found out from Tom that the constellation of Scorpio sits smack next to another called Ophiuchus, which is depicted as a man reaching out and grabbing onto what of all things but…..a snake. The two are so close together they could almost be one, and some astrologers consider it the 13th sign of the zodiac. So there I am frowning, and shaking my head going, “Yeah…..I don’t know……I’m thinking Scorpio should actually be a snake…..” only to learn about this 13th snake sign, intertwined next to Scorpio. Just another one of the endless, creepy patterns and corroborations I encountered the deeper I got into this write up. O.o
When a Scorpio transcends things though and is acting in a balanced way then one of their good traits includes undying “ride or die” loyalty. In the same way they can be the worst enemy you’ve ever had they can also be the best friend you’ve ever had, always having your back and being protective no matter what, and sticking by you through everything. And that includes bad behavior. If they’ve decided you’re IT, and have latched onto you like that, especially in romantic relationships and family relationships, then they will entertain your bad behavior in a way they would NEVER do with others, long past a relationship’s expiration date.
There’s also their extreme determination, perseverance, the natural ability to lead, getting shit done, often being downright psychic/intuitive and a natural magnet for “woo-woo” and supernatural experiences, tapping fully into the spectrum of feelings and empathy, and being a good counselor. Because they get it. They understand and they want to help. A Scorpio acting at their best, and not being narcissistic, is usually VERY interested in people, closely studying anybody that they interact with, really listening/hearing them and soaking it all in, remembering everything. When coupled with charisma/magnetism it can be a deadly combination for other people, good or bad, because most people are DYING to be seen and heard. This is why they can make good writers as well. They not only understand people and the human condition, but they’re not afraid to plumb the depths, you could say. And then there’s the good form of theatrics Scorpios can often display, in terms of gravitating towards acting, stand up comedy or performance in general.
For a Scorpio to transcend things they need to recognize if they have that tendency for control, since that’s a big downfall for them, and which may be manifesting in different situations in their lives, from minor to big. The most sinister involves trying to manipulate and control younger and/or weaker people for their own devious scheming and/or sexual ends. Several of the all time worst chicks I’ve ever known in life were all Scorpios, and in one of those cases (her name was Daylene, born 11/17) everybody around her was just a pawn in her little reality. Always trying to control/toy with everybody around her in weird little manipulated setups that she would orchestrate. She never did anything innocently without underlying motives. Just a very creepy person to be around, with the stereotypical Scorpio Eyes, as I’ll be getting into in a moment. Never smiled or laughed, took everything seriously, and with a very heavy energy. (Her moon? Capricorn. Definitely wasn’t helping matters there….)
In another instance the crazy in question named Jolynn, born 10/31, was controlling/emotionally blackmailing her ex husband by forcing him to let her work at his company…..otherwise she would make sure he never saw his daughters again. Meanwhile as she had free reign to do whatever destructive things she wanted to undermine his business. Always slinking around, snooping in his personal office the second he’d leave for a meeting, going through his desk, stuffing papers and files into her bag, doing who knows what. Nobody knew what her actual job was. She had a desk that she sat at all day….but nobody knew what she even did. She was there purely as blackmail and to torment. Especially since his new live-in girlfriend worked there managing accounting/HR/payroll. Just pure vindictive blackmail to get at the both of them, or else again, he’d never see his daughters. O.o And they both just accepted it without a fight.
On a lesser note the control issue can manifest itself by just getting hyper involved in people’s lives, especially if trying to help them. So my advise is to learn to back off, let go and stop trying to dominate/control people. This includes when giving helpful advice and counsel to people they care about. Give your advice if asked, absolutely, counsel away…..but then let it go afterwards. Whatever that person decides to do is their choice. Don’t get psychotically invested in controlling their situation and expecting that they have to follow what you told them. And if Scorpios want to try to transcend things then they also need to recognize if they have that penchant towards intense, heavy emotions, which can become full blown emotional instability/personality disorder level, to put it mildly, and a problem for the innocent people around them caught in their crosshairs. I’ve met that variety of Scorpio as well. It’s not pleasant.
One of Scorpios’ telltale physical indicators can be their eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul as they say, so in many Scorpios’ cases it means their eyes are conveying some form of intense emotions. From pain/sorrow and that wounded inner child, to an intense squinty scrutinization of whomever they’re talking to/watching (where you can practically see the wheels spinning in their mind, sizing you up, or maybe even concocting their next machination…) to a heightened sultry sexual energy that seems to beam out of the eyes like lasers, on up to something that looks devious and creepy even when smiling (what I call “pedo face,” to put it bluntly….and in some cases certain Scorpio actors were cast in roles playing creeps and pedos because they already naturally had that look, so….ya know…..) or just snake-y/drugged out looking, and on up to outright cray-cray maniacal looking, like in the cases of Jimmy Saville and Charles Manson. So there really is such a thing as “Scorpio eyes,” which is why I’ve been able to pinpoint it multiple times instantly with multiple people. It comes in different varieties, but there’s an underlying common thread with those who have them. They can often look like they either want to beat you up, screw your brains out or chain you up in their basement. ;D Or in many instances look like they’re reading you right down to the core soul level. It’s not just in the eyes though, the entire face will convey that distinct energy.
I put together a compilation collage of Scorpios that IMO have some form of the Scorpio Eyes going on ……..whatever version of the energy it may be. I’ll let readers decide for themselves. (Click on the image to enlarge and zoom in.) When I was compiling this write up and found myself trying to describe in the written word what I kept seeing over and over again with so many Scorpios I realized it would be so much easier, and better, to just put together a photo compilation. Pictures speak a thousand words. I hopped onto IMDB and looked up some Scorpio actors/actresses, clicked on their birthdate, which pulls up a list of anybody else on IMDB born on that same day, and from there changed the URL to each date that fell within Scorpio. Scanned through the list of pics for each birthday, looking for those with the eyes that stand out.
Some of the people in the collage are people I’d already pinpointed as being Scorpio without even knowing it when watching movies they appeared in, based solely on how they look. It was beyond obvious. I have even more pics than what’s featured in this collage, but the collage was big enough as it was. (Somebody who accidentally got left out, whom I wished I’d realized was Scorpio at the time I made the collage, was former Church of Satan high priestess Zeena LaVey, daughter of Anton. 11/19. Absolutely cliche Scorpio eyes.) In terms of the variations of Scorpio eyes that I’ve mentioned it’s pretty obvious who’s manifesting what I think. It’s definitely enough to give people the idea, so they can start recognizing things on their own.
I didn’t put the pics in any particular order, though I did group a few of them together for obvious reasons. What kind of got me were the three pics in a row of Taron Egerton, Corin Nemec and Robert Patrick. They not only all look alike, but all have the same birthday, 11/5. So this compilation doubles as a way to see some good examples of people with the same astrology looking like each other in some way, something I touch on throughout this write up. (Even better, look up a young Corin Nemec back in the 90s, like in his “Parker Lewis Can’t Lose” days, and compare to Taron.)
As mentioned earlier though in the Aries section, not everybody of a particular sign is going to manifest the exaggerated physical trait that the sign may be known for. Those exceptions IMO are probably explained by the way in which other alignments can mute or counterbalance the physical effects, in the same way they can mute and counterbalance the personality aspects. Many people have charts that include planetary “clumps,” where there can be three or four planets bunched up in one particular sign for instance, versus charts that are more evenly spread out. (I have one of those “clumpy charts,” with three planets bunched up in Libra, and then the Sun and two planets bunched up in Scorpio.) Possibly factors like that can mitigate the main aspects happening. So I’ve definitely seen Scorpios in the real world as well as in Hollywood that were born in the heart of Scopio but who didn’t seem to be manifesting that “DISTINCT LOOK.” At best they just had large, expressive eyes, but which didn’t come off as intensely scrutinizing, pained, sexual or psycho. (Some good famous examples of that would be Winona Ryder, 10/29, Julia Roberts, 10/28, Anne Hathaway, 11/12 and Brittany Murphy, 11/10.) So I wouldn’t be able to pinpoint them as being Scorpio at first glance the way I’ve been able to do with so many others.
For the ones I have been able to pinpoint though it was getting downright creepy, as mentioned at the opening of this write up. There was teen killer Aiden Fucci whom I was able to identify as Scorpio within a minute of watching his sentencing vid on YT due to his look. There was also the example of actor Chris Bauer, mentioned earlier, when I was rewatching “Devil’s Advocate” when finishing up this write up. Paused the movie and ran over to IMDB to see if I was right that the actor was a Scorpio. And yup, I was. 10/28. There was a reason he was cast to play the creepy pedophile murderer.
Then was skimming through parts of the movie “We Need to Talk About Kevin.” Paused the movie during the Christmas party scene, where the male coworker Colin (played by Alex Manette) is being a sexually creepy asshole to the Tilda Swinton character. His eyes were another variation of those telltale Scorpio eyes (deep set, intense, with dark circles underneath, looking druggy/scumbag, exacerbated by his snake-y movements), and I needed to see if I was right. Alex’s birthday? 10/31. Was rewatching some scenes from the German series “Dark” as well, when finishing this write up. Once again, paused the show mid-episode to run over to IMDB, because IMO the actress who plays Katharina (Jördis Triebel) has the telltale Scorpio Eyes. Needed to verify things. And her birthday? 10/30. Then I was looking up that specific clip from “American Beauty” on YT when Lester/Kevin Spacey quits his job and blackmails his boss Brad. Once again….just knew. Whoever played Brad HAD to be a Scorp. The scrutinizing, snake-y arrogance were so obvious. It’s noticeable by 00:22 and 00:34, but just beyond obvious by 01:24. Hopped over to IMDB, and sure enough the actor, Barry Del Sherman, was born 11/10.
And some skeptics may be thinking, “It’s because he’s acting, duh. That’s what the role was supposed to be, duh.” But that’s exactly it……. in most instances a Scorpio can’t hide their eyes, no matter what role they’re playing. When for instance has anybody ever seen Kevin Spacey’s eyes look like Barry’s/Brad’s? Some people consider Kevin one of the acting greats, and he’s played some diabolical roles. But despite his acting talents his Leo eyes have never even come close to looking “Scorpio.” Because you can’t make your eyes do what’s not there. It’s naturally just “there” with so many Scorps, to the point where they either A) can’t hide them when playing a role, no matter what type of role, and B) where they’re even getting hired to play specific types of roles like pedos, rapists, serial killers, drug addled creeps, pimps, evil overseers, etc. etc. exactly BECAUSE they already naturally look the part and can channel that sleezy, skeezy, snake-y, diabolical energy so well. The diabolically evil prison warden in ‘The Shawshank Redemption’? Played by Bob Gunton – 11/15. In a lot of ways you can say that Scorpios are partially not acting in these roles, because they naturally possess the eyes and energy, but also that charismatic, mesmerizing Power Boss energy. It’s not something that has to be conjured/faked/acted. It’s already there. And that’s why they get cast, and it’s why they slay those roles.
Then I was pondering on the British TV series “Utopia,” which I wrote about not long ago on my Gab. I had the realization that whoever created this show HAD to, HAD to, HAD to be a Scorpio. I mean, just HAD to. The series is nothing but conspiracy, violence and death, black humor, a smattering of too-realistic sex and the meaningful feels and heartbreak. “If that’s not the most Scorpio thing ever…” Hopped online and started down my research rabbit hole. And long story short….the show’s creator is Dennis Kelly (featured in the collage), born 11/16/70. Bingo. And, with those telltale scrutinizing Scorpio eyes, as readers can see in the above linked collage where he appears. Meanwhile when I was doing my internet detective work to find out Dennis’ birthday, since it’s not listed on IMDB or his Wiki page, I also came across this article about him with the telltale cliché Scorpio headline that says I Thought that Drinking was All I Had to Offer. I mean…..there are no words. Because we’ll be touching on the whole “Scorpio Alcoholic” cliché in a short bit. “Matrix templates….”
But this is exactly what I was talking about at the beginning of this write up, about how the longer I immersed myself into the subject of astrology in order to write this the more my ability to pinpoint things got insanely creepy, and the more repeating creepy patterns I kept encountering.
Some backstory on a couple of the pics featured in the above linked collage: Peter Martins, on the top row. For those who don’t know he’s the former director of the New York City Ballet, (Power Boss….) who had to step down after many years of leading the company, due to a sex scandal. OF COURSE!!! Abusing his power and control over the underlings, for sex-related ends. You don’t get any more “Negative Scorpio cliché” than that. :/
And then John DeRuiter whom I’d never heard of before seeing this article, but who’s some cult leader, charged with sex attacks. OF COURSE! Once again, abuse of power and control, over the underlings, for sex related ends. :/ Cliché Scorpio bullshit. Same way Charles Manson was a cult leader. And for the hilarious cherry on top the article notes, “He is known for his piercing stare….” The SECOND I saw his photo though I knew he was a Scorpio, period. 5000% positive. Hopped online, did my research and was validated. 11/11. One of those cases of “There is literally nothing else he could possibly be. There are no other options.”
Meanwhile let’s look backwards a few years to a Scorpio ex boss named James that I had many years ago in Fort Lauderdale, 2002-2004, who was also the head owner/CEO of the company. (Power sign….leaders/managers/presidents/owners….) Even when “smiling” he had those telltale “piercing frowny/scrutinizing Scorpio eyes” which was a major reason I didn’t like him. It’s disturbing. And despite having a genuinely beautiful/perfect looking blonde, blue eyed wife, who also seemed very sweet from what I could tell when I met her, James seemed to be engaged in an affair with his – married, Scorpio – secretary named Shani, who, I’m going to be blunt here – was NOT attractive. So it was very surprising. But then again, affairs for dudes are often about more than what women may think or understand. It’s not unheard of for a dude with a beautiful wife or girlfriend to be cheating with a plain, or even outright unattractive woman. And for a Scorpio male in particular the whole thing can often be about ego, power and control. Not the looks. (But you better believe all power player guys, no matter their sign, make sure to have the best looking woman possible on their arm as their actual wife, to prove to the world that they won the Matrix. ;) Side pieces being stashed away under a rock however can look like anything, doesn’t matter. )
I independently didn’t like Shani for multiple personal reasons that had nothing to do with whatever she may be getting up to in her spare time. ; It was because she embodied many of the negative lower Scorp female traits. One of which included the way she didn’t just walk around the office…. she slinked around. Like a snake. Have seen that one repeatedly with lower/negative/immature Scorpio females. They may slink around slowly in a sexualized way, with the strong, piercing eye contact, conveying “I HAVE ENTERED THE ROOM…..” in their desire to be the dominating Alpha Queen, looking for sexual attention from the males in many instances, and in general just projecting that they’re “getting up to no good.” Rarely interacting with non friend females for honest, innocent reasons. If anything, purposely saying out of place nonsense to other females, either to catch them off guard/discombobulate, in order to maintain the power balance in their own favor, or for the sake of “fishing.” Gathering intel for whatever they’re concocting. (As opposed to an Aquarius for instance saying weird nonsense, whose “motivation” is simply just being obliviously kooky/quirky/freespirit, marching to their own drum, in their own cerebral/intellectual world. There’s usually no devious intent behind it. Different horoscope signs may display what initially seems to be the same overlapping traits, on the surface. But under the surface the motivations will usually be different. ) Shani did all of that, which is why I didn’t like her. She didn’t behave in a normal, friendly way.
I’ll never forget the company picnic thing where Shani could not stop obsessively staring intensely at James, who was about 15 feet away on the other side of the tent…..with his wife. Kept her eyes clocked on both of them, looking pained and obsessed. While holding her kid. O.o That was 20 years ago and it’s still burned into my brain, because that’s the moment I knew the rumors were true.
I have seen the verbatim textbook template that encompasses ALL of the traits just mentioned, in multiple immature/lower Scorpio females, which is why I just mentioned it. The aforementioned Daylene and Jolynn? Exactly the same thing. They never just walked. They slinked around, in a slow and languid way, honing in on the males, seeming to be looking for trouble. When their eyes met yours the wheels were spinning, you could see it. And when Daylene spoke it was also languid, just slow and deliberate. Not normal and friendly. What was absolutely wild was that our birthdays were only eight days apart, the same year. But we were very different in terms of our energy manifestation, due to other differences in our charts, as well as our upbringings and soul/spiritual natures. I couldn’t slink around languidly if I tried. Way too much energy. I’d say she was manifesting more of the Scorpio thing, and in the lower/base way, while I was manifesting more of the year of the Tiger, Leo Rising and Life Path 5 energy. So even though we had almost the exact same astrological energetic stamping/imprinting we were pulling from different aspects of it, with different numerologies.
But in keeping with what I’ve mentioned throughout this write up about people of the same signs looking alike…..Daylene and I did bare more than a passing resemblance to each other. We could have passed for cousins, easy, despite having different ethnicities. (She was half Mexican, half white, I’m white, and with Italian.) Daylene looked WAY more like me than actual cousins do. Nobody would believe my actual cousins are my full blooded cousins, especially with their fair white Irish/Scottish skin, freckles, and the auburn red or very dark brunette/black hair and stunningly piercing blue eyes that almost look lit up. O.o But they would easily believe Daylene and I were, with our dark brown eyes, full lips, the lines on either side of our mouth, the darker/ethnic skin tone, petite body height/size and…….something else. That’s hard to pinpoint. Except if you know about astrology. There’s a pic of me that I recently found on my computer that I’d forgotten about that looks just like her I realized when seeing it again, to the point of creepy eeriness. (“holy shit I look like Daylene!!!”) O.o In that photo, with the angle of the shot, and the expression in my face and eyes as I gazed off, and my facial features, coloring, petite size, etc., we actually look like sisters. Almost a bit twinsies. O.o Just like so many of the other “astrological same-sies” mentioned throughout this writeup. I don’t get to be the exception to this woo-woo. ;) And a big part of it is the expression in the eyes and face, as just mentioned. That’s the thing that ties into astrology. It’s not just the physical features, body height and size or coloring. It’s the energy being projected, which astrology dictates.
Daylene’s languid Scorpio snake-like behavior really manifested itself on Christmas Eve ’97, when I was with my then-boyfriend Steve at his parent’s house for a family get together with his siblings, and their kids. The doorbell rings and it’s….Daylene. Who happened to be his ex. That’s how I knew her. And by ex I mean long since broken up, and when she was never a full fledged “girlfriend” to begin with. Not like “last week broken up,” and where it was something truly serious. But she was just….on the doorstep, with her baby from some random guy she’d hooked up with but who was now long gone. Just stopping by to say hi and cause trouble. Steve’s family was flummoxed for the reasons just mentioned, and reluctantly let her in, not sure what to do, and especially since she had a baby with her, whispering to each other about why she was there, what is she doing, what is HAPPENING here…. Meanwhile as Daylene proceeded to literally just slink all around the house, languidly like a snake from room to room, “saying hi” to everybody with her trademark intense “Scorpio look” on her face. (deathly serious, intense, never smiles, never laughs, very heavy, heavy, dark energy, which as mentioned earlier was compounded by her Capricorn moon, which can definitely be a heavy energy) carrying her baby “weapon/protection.” Guilt trip everybody into feeling like they can’t just ask her to leave. Not with a baby….right?!? As she slinked around she’d make eye contact with me to try to intimidate, then sloooowly turn away, trying to convey how unconcerned she was about me being there. Finally she made a point of actually taking a full on seat on the couch with her baby boy propped up against her shoulder to silently declare “I’m not leaving. I’m staking a claim here.”
Since Steve’s flummoxed and paralyzed family wouldn’t take direct action I decided we were atta there. And we both left quietly/politely, not making a scene, just leaving her there on the couch with Steve’s family whom she had no connection to and who couldn’t stand her. We were later told that his mom promptly flipped out on Daylene in a restrained but angry way, demanding that “You need to leave NOW!” and all this stuff about how she wasn’t going to tolerate Daylene getting in the way of being able to see my son! You’re not wanted here! We don’t know why you’re here! Don’t come back! Etc. O.o Then they called and begged us to return, which we did. Once we got back his family addressed the 800 pound elephant in the room – Is that your baby?? Is that why she came by?? Steve’s eyes got wide, not expecting that :D O.o but assured them NO. And explained how the timeline didn’t add up. Besides, if Steve had been the father Daylene would have known it, and would not have hesitated to say it. As it was she knew who the father was and had already named him. So we all knew who it actually was. She was just coming by for the hell of it, because she couldn’t stop fixating on Steve.
There was another Scorpio female coworker I once had back in 2004 named Darby (11/6), when I worked for a yachting brokerage in Fort Lauderdale on the Intracoastal Waterway, who was like this as well. Darby wasn’t the full fledged nefarious version of the energy, instead coming from more of an immature/kid-like place. But she’d decided it was okay to just take an impromptu month off to go to Amsterdam to party (more Scorpio alcohol cliche – prioritizing getting high and drunk above all else) so meanwhile I was her replacement brought in from a staffing agency to handle the front reception window and phones. After Darby came back from her partying she learned she’d been fired and replaced by me. That was always the boss’ intention, since they’d wanted to get rid of her for awhile, and now this trip was providing them an easy opening. I was told to not let her know that I’d already replaced her when she left on her last day, and that I wasn’t merely “just a temp.”
When Darby returned a month later and learned she’d been replaced/let go she kept sneaking back onto the property anyway, utilizing and manipulating her male connections in the brokerage to get favors. One of which was to allow her to be a “yacht cleaner.” The brokerage actually had a full time, professional yacht cleaner who was in business for herself in a legit way, and Darby saw that and thought she could just buy some Windex and sponges at the store and do the same. But there was one afternoon where I was in the reception office and suddenly noticed through the windows that Darby had apparently snuck onto the property through an open side area, out of sight of the reception office, and now she was creeping around surreptitiously amongst million+ dollar yachts with her “cleaning supplies,” trying to get on them and pretend she still worked there somehow…….but without being seen by anybody. After that it soon became a whole thing every day. Always having to “spot the Darby!” since my boss didn’t want her on site, but Darby kept disregarding that and sneaking onto the property anyway, unable to control herself it seemed. So you never knew when she’d suddenly be there, creeping about. Same deal with Daylene, because there were a few other anecdotes involving Daylene being creepy and “sneaking around” as well, including stalking Steve, beyond just the Christmas Eve incident already mentioned.
Relating to all this is another important thing to note about Scorpios: They become people you DON’T forget about. Scorpios can become truly notorious. Even everyday Scorps, which is why I said I’ve met more than one person in my life travels who was either still outright traumatized by a Scorpio many years after the fact, or just so taken aback by their nutjob antics that they could not get over it. Their antics become “the stuff of legends,” to be mentioned from time to time amongst friends, family, neighbors or coworkers for YEARS after. Like you just can’t wrap your head around what was going through their head. “WHO DOES THAT?!? WHO ACTS LIKE THAT?!?!” The aforementioned Jolynn and Daylene slotted into that VERY well, as mentioned. And even Darby, on a minor level. There’s often a lack of self awareness driving it all. Caught up in an unstable level of emotions, which leads to impulse control issues, behaving obsessively and even recklessly as a result, almost on the level of a child as I’ve seen many times. Just unable to pause, breathe, “time out!” and think things through rationally.
During the time I was completing this write up a vid was posted by Scorpio actress Taryn Manning (11/6), gaining viral attention in actual news outlets because of the insanity of it. In terms of a celebrity example, nothing encapsulates everything I just noted about Scorps at their worst base behaviors and legendary antics than this vid. The vid is nothing but Taryn proudly describing in detail in a totally slurred, drunk or stoned sounding voice, her graphic sexcapades with a married man, including miming some of the actions O.o while simultaneously and shamelessly threatening the wife. (Once again, Fixed/Power Boss energy, trying to dominate and be the head Female Alpha as mentioned, either trying to intimidate or directly threaten the competition and being willing to just take what she believes is hers to take). She even likens one of the sex acts they’re into as being what demons do.
Not so coincidentally the scariest neighbor we’ve ever had to deal with (a guy in his early to mid-20s) was also a November 6th, and who lived directly downstairs from us a few years ago here in south Florida. That is, until he was taken away in a van to a mental hospital. O.o Patterns, patterns, patterns, that’s all I can say. We knew 11/6 was his birthday only because he forced us to know. Tom and I had an encounter with him on a November 6th; we found ourselves passing by him in the parking lot where he was just loafing aimlessly about in a hoodie, then yelled out “HI….” to us, in an intense, weird voice. Slightly slurred he yelled out “TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY.” For no reason, just demanding attention. We’d never had a prior interaction with him before. But as soon as he said it was his birthday I was like, “holy cow, no wonder….” O.o Because normally we could hear him having psychotic meltdowns in his apartment downstairs while alone, screaming, crying, ranting, raving, cussing, wailing and threatening an imaginary person (“YOU WON’T GET AWAY WITH THIIIIIIIIISSSS!!!!” just over and over again) coming through the fan vent. Other times he’d be slouched down at the bottom of the dark stairwell in his hoodie, spitting tobacco juice everywhere, glowering at everybody with those deep set, intense eyes rimmed in dark circles and looking creepy. “Of course he turns out to be Scorpio. OF COURSE.” But that time period was the only time in life I truly was nervous for our safety due to a neighbor. I happened to be outside, about to take off on a bike ride, on the day when the van showed up to take him away. The leasing office, who was in touch with his mother up in Massachusetts, confirmed that Yeah, he was taken to a facility of some sort.
When I’ve seen celebrities that generate the most controversy and become iconic, they’re often Scorpio. A big one that comes to mind….Hillary Clinton. 10/26. Again, embodies everything cliche about Scorpio. From being the Power Boss for starters, somebody desiring absolute power and control, to the whole Clinton Body Count, and how anybody who’s ever even posed so much as a threat to her or Bill winds up in a body bag; to the eviscerating tongue, known to cut people down to the core of their being (what happened to Vince Foster for instance, just before he supposedly killed himself), and then the way in which she was a criminal defense lawyer of all things, hellbent on destroying the lives of women accusing her clients of rape. :/ And that doesn’t even touch on absolute debauched sex-related behavior, with the claims made by MK victim Cathy O’Brien in her book “Trance-Formation of America,” or what was supposedly found concerning her on Anthony Weiner’s laptop, and Pizzagate, and what she was getting up to with John Podesta at his little “pool parties” full of “hot dogs” and “cheese pizza” where little kids were being brought to and offered up. Or the Clinton Foundation child trafficking operation out of Haiti. Or the email server scandal. Or the 2016 election tampering, and all the neverending lies about it…or…or…. It just goes and goes with her, endlessly. But mixed up in all of that is yes….somebody who absolutely can come off as completely charismatic in interviews, as Scorps can often do, and which is why she’s fooled much of the general public. But overall, diabolical doesn’t even begin to cover it. At this point it’s safe to say it’s not human, and is just being piloted as a vessel. Some sort of walking plague that’s been unleashed on the world. But the vessel did start out as a Scorp, infused with the worst energy of the zodiac, which certainly didn’t help matters.
Then there’s the clown known as Joe Biden. (11/20.) I don’t think that whatever is tottering around, rambling incoherent nonsense, falling up flights of stairs and trying to shake hands with invisible people is even “Joe Biden” anymore. But at one point this massively corrupt individual that sold out his country to China, spawned Hunter, molested his own daughter, sniffs and gropes little girls in public (and where there’s vids/pics depicting him abusing Asian sex slaves) was a Power Boss Scorp, rolling in the highest political positions one can attain on the 3rd Density Front Stage Show.
On a more lighthearted note…….if anybody reading this has ever lamented that the Kardashians have been a thing in our reality, another plague that’s been unleashed on the world, then you have none other than a Scorpio to thank for that too. :/ Kris Jenner, the penultimate Power Boss “Momager,” born on 11/5, who took her Scorpio cusp daughter Kim’s (10/21) infamous sex tape and turned it into a decades-long, multi-million dollar empire for the entire family. Who also happen to consist of several other Scorps. Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner (10/28) and Kendall Jenner (11/3). And a few of the boyfriends/husbands along the way as well. Pete Davidson (11/16) and Travis Barker (11/14). And for any women out there who know your Real Housewives shows I’ve got two words for you: Brandi Glanville. (11/16.) And none of you are asking “Who??” You know EXACTLY who that is. ;) Talk about a controversial, “you either love this crazy bitch or you hate her” polarizing “character.” Blunt, honest, emotionally raw, and downright piercing in her commentary on other housewives with the Stinger (or venomous snake fangs) in full effect, AND who drinks too much, embodying the whole “Scorpio Alcoholic” cliché, with a book that’s even titled “Drinking and Tweeting.” Hello.
Her most “Scorpios acting based” moment, which perfectly illustrates a couple more negative Scorp traits I’m about to expand on? Thereby making it a good springboard. Her appearance on WWHL, when Andy Cohen (emotionally superficial, flighty/short attention span, mercurial/up and down, super chatty, gay Gemini) decided to “stir the pot” and tell her about some mean tweet that Miami housewife Joanna Krupa had just posted about Brandi while Brandi was live on the air, which said “No wonder her husband left her.”
Brandi didn’t even hesitate a second before going full Scorpio Scorched Earth Revenge Mode, responding IMMEDIATELY with an eye roll, ‘Oh, okay. Well, Mohammed [Hadid] did tell me that her pussy smells.’ The entire studio went nuts. No normal person says something like that. But an unfiltered, immature Scorpio that’s just been attacked unnecessarily or betrayed in front of millions and who has nothing to lose? Duck. And run. And it may not sound like much, but this one “small offhand” comment exploded in the gossip media and led to a full blown lawsuit. Was that tweet worth it in the end? In any story I’ve seen in the media about Joanna since, years later, there is ALWAYS, guaranteed, multiple comments referencing her lady bits, and people saying that Brandi’s comeback will haunt her forever. Meanwhile nobody cares what Joanna said about Brandi. And that’s what I’m talking about. A person may poke a Scorpio with some forgettable, childish quip, but the response that comes back can be x 10,000, and goes right for the jugular.
Back in ’95 I watched a November 10th Scorpio male named Andrew take down a chick who had once mocked him…….counterattacking down the line with the most blistering, holy shit! level of public take down in front of a group of people that I have ever seen to this day, after she caused herself to be in a situation that presented the opportunity. (She was obese, and the plastic chair she was sitting in on the patio of a coffeehouse collapsed under her weight.) Andrew, who was 24-25 years old at the time, went Full Scorpio Revenge x10,000 mode on her from the other side of the patio after he realized what had happened. No hesitation. He started laughing hysterically and immediately mocking her, turning it into a relentless roast to the level of a stand up routine, making sure every last person on the crowded patio saw what was happening as she was trying to get herself back up off the ground and find another chair. And kept being aware of what had happened after it was over. O.o Total stereotype of the lower evolved, immature and vindictive Scorp who holds a permanent grudge and always takes things too far. It was a mixed bag of confusion. People wanted to feel bad for her, but the things he was saying and the way he was saying it was quite literally on the level of professional stand up comedy, and so everybody on the patio was laughing. The Scorpio got his revenge, tenfold.
And being fair and honest here, I’ve done it myself. I’ve been that Scorpio who once read a mean comment written about me by what I thought was a female friend (in 10th grade, in Connecticut) and I took her down later in front of her friends with a blistering comeback that went for the jugular. And same as Andrew would do, four years later and 3,000 miles away in SoCal, my big Take Down Moment was in front of a group of people for maximum effect. I’ll never forget the look on her face when the impact of my words hit her. And I don’t say that in a good way. It actually haunted me for years. Many years later, in my 30s, I had to do a meditation thing where I connected to her on a metaphysical level you could say and apologized for it, because she kept intermittently appearing in my dreams, and I realized it was a subconscious issue for me that needed to be healed. Yeah, what she wrote about me was mean and unnecessary, since I’d never done anything negative to her and thought we were friends (which is exactly WHY what she wrote was so hurtful, and betraying). But my response was too much. As it often is with Scorpios. The threatened snake or scorpion suddenly lunging forward and plunging the venom or stinger in. After connecting up metaphysically the dreams stopped. Never had another one again, to this day.
Scorpios keep tabs. They don’t forget ANYTHING. Everything you say to them, confide to them, and anything they witness or hear about you will be “filed away.” And so long as you never cross them, then that information will stay filed away forever. Nobody will ever know. But the second you betray them? Cross them? Try to take them down? With the lower evolved Scorpio all bets are off, and IMMEDIATELY your deepest darkest secrets, shames and whatever other dirt they have is released. When lower Scorpios snap and/or go full Scorched Earth Mode they make people rue the day they ever decided to pick a fight with them.
Scorpio “comedian” Kathy Griffin (11/4) is another cliché of this. Her brand of stand up “comedy” back in the day when she was at her so-called peak was nothing but standing on a stage to an audience of mostly women and catty gay men, talking shit and releasing dirt/secrets or supposed “scandalous” tidbits on any celebs who didn’t kiss her ass. As well as writing books that are nothing but “talking shit about celebs who don’t like her.” And there’s apparently enough of ‘em to fill books. Her other defining moment was posing for a picture with the decapitated blood covered head of President Trump. :/ Again…… notorious Scorpio antics, mentioned earlier. I personally can’t stand her, but…..I also can’t claim to say I don’t know who she is.
A fantastic example of a troubled, infamous, and some would say diabolical, Scorpio that you don’t forget would be Tonya Harding (11/12). (though IMO nobody compares to Killary who’s in a category all her own.) No background explanation needed for this one. She’s become polarizing in recent times due to the biopic movie, “I, Tonya” that portrayed her in a sympathetic light, and a victim of her ex, Jeff Gillooly. (Have only seen various clips of this movie myself, along with the trailer, on YouTube.) Whether she gave the orders to have Nancy Kerrigan’s knees clubbed, I don’t know, though I will say it sounds pretty Scorp to me. (Competitive, jealous, vindictive, underhanded and lower evolved snake-ish behavior, etc.) But what I can say in all seriousness is that Tonya is a very good famous example of the “abused Scorpio with a rough childhood/life.”
When I was a senior in high school in SoCal, working at a restaurant as a hostess, I became buddies with a slightly crazy 25? 27? year old Scorpio waitress named KarenBeth. That’s actually why we became buddies….KarenBeth eventually found out I was Scorp, like her. Up until then she’d just bark at me, “Hey you!!!!! Hostess girl!!!!!!” whenever she needed something ;D but not actually seeing me. After she learned I was a Scorpio I was now Carissa, whom she SAW. Superficial, I know, but hey it was better than being barked at I guess. Now she knew my name. But when KarenBeth learned that I was being kicked out of the house by my mom’s rando boyfriend prior to graduation she noted to me as she had a smoke on the patio during a break, that this was kind of a pattern that she’d noticed with other Scorpios as well, male or female: Being forced out onto their own prematurely, where life is really kicking them around, including abuse by their parents who don’t have their backs.
KarenBeth’s life definitely fit this profile, being a Native American and having been raised in poverty on a reservation, and finding herself fending for herself earlier than normal, causing a host of personal issues which were contributing to her volatile anger/mood swings and bitterness and resentment. And Tonya definitely fits this profile to a T as well, which I will go as far as to say may be a “Classic Scorpio Profile,” because I too have now met multiple other Scorps throughout my life since first speaking with KarenBeth who fell into this pattern. It’s like they’re just attracting in this horrible energy towards them like sharks to the blood. So I give credit to KarenBeth for bringing the concept to my attention back when I was 18, for me to study/research as I navigated through life, meeting people on my journey over the years. It doesn’t mean every Scorp has this happening, but enough seem to in some varying form that it needs to be mentioned. Something about the “Scorpio Energy Imprint,” whatever the actual source, is frequently attracting in this negative “Matrix” Life Profile. And that goes for adult Scorps I’ve worked alongside at jobs or known through other avenues in my life, both female and male; even though they’re adults they’re still attracting in bullies and predators who hone right in on them, like it’s highschool or something. Why? IMO it’s because the so-called “Matrix”-ish reality we live in knows it will work like a dream on Scorps, due to their egos, and predisposition towards emotional sensitivity.
Scorpios are VERY powerful though, as noted, one of the four Fixed/Power signs. Naturally take-charge fighters and extremely determined, who utilize those attributes to take charge of their own selves, and thus will usually persevere, somehow, some way. In my own situation that was definitely the case. I had enough fight in me for 20 people I like to say in looking back at myself. Had to though to get through ages 18-25. A good image would be somebody who was dumped into a deep hole and half buried in dirt, left for dead, but who claws and punches their way back out and emerges multiple times stronger than they were before. And manages to make it in life and do well for themselves. Lot of people actually aren’t able to do that. They get dumped down in a hole, dirt piled on their head and left for dead, and that’s where they unfortunately stay. But Tonya once again exemplifies that powerful Scorpio fighter. She rose to the top to become, for one brief window in history, the #1 female figure skater in the country, en route to be the #1 in the world. That is no easy feat. And note how many comments mention her abusive childhood and what this historical moment in figure skating that I just linked to represented in terms of triumphing over that. (On a sidenote: Tonya’s offbeat choices of music for her various skating sets also exemplifies Scorpio energy….the deadpan cheeky club/dance song “People are Still Having Sex,” Danny Elfman’s main theme to 1989s “Batman,” ZZ Top’s “Sleeping Bag,” and other such unconventional fair, conveying sex, power, darkness, revenge/vigilante and all things cliché Scorpio.)
Other famous Scorps I’ve read about over the years besides Tonya who’ve had the horrible childhood abuse and dysfunctional families, left to fend for themselves as an adult early on, etc. etc. include Mackenzie Phillips (11/10) and Tatum O’Neal (11/5), both of whose stories have received immense attention (especially Mackenzie’s, since it involves incest with her very famous father John Phillips, of The Mamas and the Papas) and both of whom went on to develop severe substance abuse issues as a result of it all. Tatum, for those who may not know, won an Oscar for best supporting actress at only ten years old for her role in 1973’s ‘Paper Moon’ (and remains to this day in 2023 the youngest Oscar winner in history) and which co-starred her father Ryan – mentioned in the Aries section as one of the ultimate Hollywood Bad Boys. And that’s not meant in a cute and admiring way. He was a violent monster, and an asshole right to the end apparently. Both Mackenzie and Tatum have written autobiographies about their situations and given many interviews about it all as well, for those who are curious. In Tatum’s case, she and her brother Griffin started out living with their drug addled mother, actress Joanna Moore, where they weren’t being properly fed, bathed, clothed, had never been taken to a dentist and weren’t brushing their teeth, until custody was finally taken from Joanna when Tatum was seven, and handed over to Ryan. Where they would now face a whole other level of abuse. And despite that foundation, and never having acted before, Tatum was still able to do what she did in that movie. For me Mackenzie and Tatum are the examples of “If you think your childhood was bad…..” and it really puts it all into perspective.
But yes, all that Scorpio fight and perseverance is not without a lot of addiction issues too it seems for many Scorps. There’s a WHOLE lotta that going on, often because of a very painful life causing intense emotions for the sensitive water sign, and which need to be dealt with. And even if it doesn’t morph into full blown addiction you’ll still often see a lot of Scorps partaking in alcohol way more than other people. As mentioned earlier, my Pisces buddy/“substitute little brother” Zach back in the day once made a funny reference to his “Alcoholic Scorpio Friend” that he was supposed to be going on a roadtrip with.
In 2022 at the company Christmas party luncheon at my former job (the same one with the Taurus coworker Carli who was obsessively analyzing the food, mentioned earlier, and that crazy up/down split personality Gemini boss who’d been likened to Satan/the Devil, etc…) they made us wait until the end of the ordeal before they brought out the alcohol. They finally cracked open the bottles of champagne for each table to do the big group toast and I just downed my glass like, Holy SHIT it’s about time…..!!!…….need to numb this torture…. And had to have a refill before the actual toast. ;D Seriously couldn’t give a shit about the food, my only concern was, WHERE’S THE ALCOHOL?!?
My gay Capricorn coworker next to me Tim joked, totally deadpan, “Well now we know who the alcoholic is.” Then he got worried that he may have offended me and apologized, but I just laughed and shook my head and said, “Na, it’s okay, I don’t care, I know how it looks, you can call me an alcoholic, it’s all good.” Totally not an actual alcoholic, but definitely DO need some alcohol to get through shit like that, WAY more so than other signs apparently, that’s all I can say. Unabashedly had two more refills after that. (Should have just asked for the whole f’ing bottle. ;D ) Carli was being the epitome of her sign with the food, Tim was being the epitome of his with that deadpan/dry personality and humor he was always exhibiting, and meanwhile I was being the epitome of mine with the alcohol, what can I say.
(And on a very related note, I just remembered [and am going back to add this in] about the appearance of a VERY drunken Scorpio Danny Devito (11/17) on “The View” back in 2006. Not many celebs are willing to admit they spent the entire night hard partying/drinking before being interviewed on a mega mainstream TV show first thing in the morning. But leave it to a Scorpio to do so. Unabashedly. By the end of the segment Devito was sitting in Rosie O’Donnell’s lap, slurring his words. That’s how shitfaced the dude still was at the time this was being filmed in the morning.)
Roseanne Barr (11/3/52) is another example of a polarizing Scorpio (year of the fiery nutso Dragon on top of it…) but who’s also reached full fledged icon status. Everybody knows who Roseanne is. Why? Because she’s a Scorpio. End of. ;) Things she’s never been are forgettable, generic, boring, bland, uncharismatic, non controversial, or somebody who doesn’t speak her mind. She’s known for running her mouth, being too honest, nutso, and blasting the world with very pointed Truth Bombs. Especially of the conspiracy/Truther variety. She’s the first, and only, high level, mega famous celeb that I’m aware of to start banging on about MK Ultra and the mind control that is being done to celebs….herself included…..in interviews from years ago, and being open about the resulting multiple personality disorder it results in, including herself. Which is why I’m even mentioning her. She isn’t just another run of the mill Scorpio celebrity for that reason. And she point blank calls herself mentally ill. Her words. She’s also fond of the drinks and pills. ;) On her YT channel there’s vids of her, recorded by her son, where she’s drinking alcohol and clearly inebriated and slurring, talking about different things and just f’ing around in general, having fun.
But the whole reason she wound up being canceled during the height of her resurgence a few years ago with the resurrection of her hit show “Roseanne” was due to taking too much Ambien, then letting loose on Twitter with a Tweet about Valerie Jarrett that was taken in a racist way. Immediately canceled by Hollywood, overnight. Many believe The Powers That Be were just looking for an excuse though, because of Roseanne’s outspoken support of Trump and conservative ideals, and the way she’s repeatedly called out the evil, Hollywood bullshit in general. Including the rampant pedophilia. She said in one interview that she’s had multiple Hollywood actors/tresses come to her to confide what was done to them as kids/teens in Hollywood [because she’s seen as a mother figure who’s safe to go to]. Roseanne has given numerous interviews to multiple sources about Truther issues, and has put up her own vids talking in-depth about her ideas about who’s running the world and what’s really going on here, unlike ANY former or current A-level celeb. So there was certainly a pre-existing sore spot for the negative Powers That Be to get rid of her. And she unfortunately played right into it by screwing up like that, giving them their reason.
But decades ago her defining “controversial Scorpio antics moment,” reminiscent of Kathy Griffin, was making a mockery of the national anthem at the World Series by purposely screeching it out of key and then grabbing her crotch when she was done. Unlike Kathy Griffin however, Roseanne’s intentions are never truly dark and nefarious. Kathy’s are, however, and it’s why I’ve never liked Kathy. I’m reluctant to say it, but I will always have a soft spot for Roseanne. Truly one of the only people in Hollywood who can elicit that reaction from me. I genuinely like her, no matter what she does.
Speaking of Roseanne……the sign of Scorpio was right up there with Gemini, Virgo and Sagittarius for the most disproportionate representation of “famous stand up comedians that most everybody has heard of” when I was doing research for this write up. But what would be the Scorpio’s primary motivation for comedy? In this specific case it’s laughing away their pain. But IMO Scorps definitely don’t make THE BEST comedians, even if they’re represented by some of the most famous. Only because their tendency to rant about shit that pisses them off…..or trash talk people who didn’t kiss their egomaniacal ass…..doesn’t trump crafting truly clever, intelligent jokes. Something that Virgos and Geminis excel at. But there are always exceptions, as Scorpio Taylor Tomlinson proves (11/4).
Recently Rob Schneider did an anti-woke stand up comedy show that was reminding people in the comments section on YouTube of Roseanne…..even if they couldn’t put their finger on why. I too had the same thought when I saw clips from the show. Immediately was like “Roseanne.” Why though? Probably because they’re both Old Ass Scorps ;) as it turns out when I looked up Rob’s birthday (10/31), doing stand up and being very pointed/no holds barred/“don’t give a shit.” But just as importantly, with very similar styles: Mostly just talking/venting to the audience about anti-woke/Truther/red pill issues, and occasionally making an actual joke in the middle of it. And anti-woke material aside, you see the repeating pattern with 11/4 Scorpio Kathy Griffin as well – she just stands on stage talking smack/telling stories/venting her experiences and occasionally working a so-called “punchline” in the middle somewhere.
During the same time I saw the Rob Schneider comedy special trailer I also saw an interview clip with another Old Ass, but in this case definitely iconic, Scorpio actor who doesn’t give a shit: Richard Dreyfus (10/29). He was answering some interview lady’s question about what he thinks of the Academy’s new, woke “Diversity Quotas” that they’re implementing in order for any movie to be considered for the Best Picture Oscar. His immediate answer? Leaning forward, staring at her with that intense Scorpio gaze? ‘They make me vomit.’ Never ask Scorpios what they think about anything if you don’t really want a truthful answer, ‘cause they’ll letcha know. This is a lesson some of my readers have learned the hard way with me, when they’ve emailed me their recommendations of absolutely ridiculous material, or asked me my opinion on absolutely ridiculous websites and internet personalities that they love…… expecting me, like an entitled child, to validate their views. And when I didn’t, and answered them honestly/bluntly, but nicely, telling them what was wrong with the material, they had literal temper tantrum meltdowns in their responses. Same thing I told them though – If you can’t handle an honest response then don’t ask the question. Keep that in mind with any Scorpio.
For fun I’m going to throw in links to these vid clips showing what happens when you specifically have two egomaniacal Scorpio females going head to head:
The time Tara Reid (11/8/75) walked off the Jenny McCarthy (11/1/72) podcast
Bethenny Frankel (11/4/70) vs. Ramona Singer (11/18/56) At one point the conversation devolves into each one trying to convince each other who grew up more abused, meanwhile as Bethenny points out what of all things but Ramona’s “crazy eyes.” ;D
Nancy Grace (10/23/59) and Roseanne Barr (11/3/64) trying to out-Alpha each other
But readers can hopefully clearly see the commonalities that these personalities all have. Especially Bethenny, Jenny and Nancy. Take charge, confident power boss energy, mouthy, quick witted with their Scorpio stingers that go for the jugular, but also with some comedic humor mixed in, and no holds-barred opinions. It’s the same exact energy manifesting in what seems like very different women. Just more Matrix personality stamping.
Moving away from comedy, and in pondering on why many Scorps seem to be so interested in “sex and death,” traits mentioned earlier, along with the paranormal and occult, what I realized is that they all have something in common – they’re aspects of life and the world that are hidden from us. Sex, including the nude human form, has been made secretive and even naughty and taboo in many cultures/societies. The reality of death is also another thing that is often being hidden from the average person. At least in clean, modern, Westernized nations. In these countries other people do the dirty work of dealing with dead bodies and murder scenes, all behind closed doors. And meanwhile the paranormal = the “woo” mysteries of the world that need exploring and solving. And the word occult in itself means hidden/occluded. More hidden mysteries that need exploring/solving…..and which can lead to power and control, Scorpios’ weak spots, in worst case black magic scenarios.
It all goes hand in hand with why so many astrology sources say that typical career interests for Scorps, or ones that would be a good fit, include detective work and forensics. It’s about lifting up rocks and pulling back curtains to see what’s being hidden, get to the bottom of things, solving mysteries and figuring things out, and with regards to things the average person never gets to see, hear or know about.
In the same way that telling an Aries “No!” is a direct “hehehe!” challenge to them, hiding anything from a Scorpio is also a direct challenge, just begging to be solved and exposed. And it manifests in really small innocuous ways as well for the everyday Scorp. Like being that “internet sleuth” who’s doing their own ‘net research to find people and see what they’re getting up to, for whatever personal motivation they may have for it. (Recently my Capricorn female supervisor/work buddy at my current job was laughing and saying she LOVED the way I always had the dirt/scoop on people, positive or negative, because I’d done my ‘net research on them.)
But the Scorpio trait of internet sleuth can also overlap with voyeurism for some. Being able to secretly watch what others are getting up to from the sidelines, while they have no idea, which then overlaps with “having power.” “I’m watching you, and you have no idea. I’ve learned things about you, that you don’t realize.” O.o In other cases it’s just straight up nosiness. ;D “I HAVE to know!”
In a worst case scenario, maladjusted Scorpio situation this can lead to Scorps who abuse this with their partners, being that psycho who’s combing through their partner’s phone, computer, emails, etc. because they NEED to figure out every last thing their partner is getting up to. (ie….abuse of power and control, along with jealousy and extreme possessiveness, which also overlaps with control, and emotional neediness.) I once got an email from one of my male website readers who had some questions about my articles, but then realized he was going to need to cut off our exchange because he was scared of what his Scorpio wife would do if she found him even emailing another female out in the world, no matter how innocuous. She had his balls in her purse, absolute control and irrational jealousy, with the threat of psycho meltdowns based on what he described, and he didn’t even try to stand up for himself. O.o It was sad, and as a Scorpio female myself I matter-of-factly explained that his situation isn’t healthy, and used my own relationship as a good counter example. My partner Tom is emailing with mass amounts of people, male and female, all the time due to his own website, and I never look in on any of his stuff. Phone, computer, email, nothing.
(It’s funny though how many females assume I must be….and address emails for him to both of us in a “walking on eggshells, extra specially tiptoe-y cautious and respectful” way, even though the emails aren’t about anything to do with me. I know because Tom will relay it to me. If the emails were intended for both of us, with questions and comments intended for both of us equally, then fine, I can see why they sent a “2 for 1” email to him, addressing me as well. But these are emails that are 100% about him, with questions/comments intended only for him. But where they include me in the greeting in a tip-toe, scared sounding way. “I’m not trying to hit on your man! I know you’re there, reading this! I’m fully acknowledging you! I’m not up to no good, trust me! It’s not like that!! It’s all business!!” Which then ironically results in me getting annoyed and insulted, the exact opposite of what they intended, because they assume I must be “THAT GIRLFRIEND” combing through his personal stuff. :/ So Tom will politely let me know that so-and-so addressed an email to both of us, or made sure to acknowledge me in their email to him, etc. But I just roll my eyes and let him know that he can let whoever it is know that I don’t read through his emails, so that they don’t need to do that.)
But as I explained to that emailer guy – I need to be trusted and have my space, boundaries and privacy respected….and I give the same treatment to Tom and others. I wanted him to know that it doesn’t have to automatically be this way just because “his wife is a Scorpio.” Of course I never heard back from him again. (eyeroll. ) Oh well. I tried!
Sagittarius
Fire, Masculine, Mutable
November 22 – December 21
Good natured, friendly, fun loving, energetic/fiery and outgoing are the main traits of Sag when I think about them, whether male and female. They’re often outdoors-oriented, and sporty/athletic. So being active in some way seems to be a major aspect of many that I’ve known. Unlike inert Tauruses for instance Sagges’ first inclination is to be moving, or hitting the gym, joining up with sports and engaging in outdoor activities that require physical effort, like hiking, biking, paddleboarding, climbing/rappelling, surfing, scuba diving/snorkeling, etc.
Sagges are also first one to the party and the last to leave. ;) (Which is why I’ve noted that Sagges in general, to me, can often times be pretty superficial/surface skimming, lacking depth, and thus, pretty boring for me despite their fiery, fun-oriented energy. They’re more about having fun in all forms and being social and superficial then having deep, meaningful conversations and trying to solve the mysteries of the universe. Everybody has different priorities, so to each his own. But I will say Tom and I once met with a reader/fan of my website in person who was a Sag, and we had the best time hanging out, really great, in-depth conversation about all things truther and woo-woo. Though keeping in mind her moon was feminine, psychic, sensitive Water sign Pisces. So again, not saying all Sagges are universally superficial/surface scratching, but I have met enough who are, so I know it’s a thing.)
One of Tom’s younger half brothers, Anthony, is the most stereotypical Sag I’ve ever met. (In the same way Tom’s other younger half brother Michael is the most stereotypcal Capricorn I’ve ever met.) Very athletically oriented since childhood, including being active outdoors, everything from wrestling, biking, scuba diving and weight lifting, masculine behaving and looking in terms of his face structure and the stocky, muscular body, and superficially social and friendly. So he seems likeable and extroverted when you first meet him, but you soon learn that there’s ZERO depth going on under the surface, to a level that’s actually shocking and disturbing. O.o Completely impervious to conversation that has even the slightest bit of meaning or depth. Unless you want to talk about sports, TV shows, movies and what music you like to listen to (but with zero interest in anything actually music-based, like playing instruments, musical theory, what makes good music vs. bad, the history of various musical genres, etc.), then he’s got absolutely nothin’ to offer and will just sit there blank, unresponsive, but looking pleasant in the face. Just empty. O.o It reminds me of the 1998 David Cronenberg movie “eXistenZ,” where the virtual reality game characters can only interact with the players when given “the right prompts.” And if you don’t give them the right prompts they just go on blank pause mode. Heads lolling around in circles, eyes staring off at nothing, blank and unresponsive. With the exception of the head lolling thing that’s pretty much Anthony. You want him to “return to the chat”? Then say the right prompt. Sports. TV shows. Movies. Superficial favorite music you’re listening to. Anything else? He’s exited the chat. Even conversation that started mentioning Tom and Anthony’s dead mother in a nice positive way, reminising. Still nothin’. Blank face, unresponsive, nothing to offer, no emotional care, instead his eyes searching to the overhead TVs in the restaurant that were showing various sports games and latching onto that, like “ooooh!” with actual interest. It’s why I vowed to Tom after putting up with this behavior for two days that I would never hang out with him again if we crossed paths. O.o Being around Anthony was causing actual clenching in my solar plexus, a metaphysical-based reaction to the complete lack of anything happening inside him. None of it was a surprise to Tom though, as he had definitely warned me with a smile beforehand about just how…….superficial and mainstream Anthony could be. Well THAT was an understatement. O.o ;D In all seriousness he’s basically an empty NPC by this point in life, with the Sag energy/personality stamp fully governing the direction of his life and intrapersonal interactions. The world is full of these types.
Sagges also have that notorious tendency to blurt out awkward and very pointed truths and commentary without thinking, but not with the calculated intent of trying to hurt people, like with Scorpio. Sagittarius is represented with the bow and arrow, after all. That’s for a reason. “Open mouth, insert foot”/“speak first, think later.” Some people may remember that guy Donald Trump, who was our president? And was notorious for constantly blurting out crazy shit and sending mean Tweets in the middle of the night? Besides being the quick/clever, mentally agile and chatty Gemini sun, he’s backed up with the Sag moon bow and arrow.
Another related trait I’ve repeatedly seen with Sagges, both male and female, is a tendency to “overshare”/TMI!! including with people they barely know/only just met, not realizing how they sound. Just comin’ atchya in this “!!!!!” amped up, friendly but aggressive way. (That admittedly can come across as slightly cray-cray.) And sometimes to the point of boundary crossing, while being oblivious. An online male follower of my Gab feed, who’s also a Sag, likened this Sag trait as having similarities with Asperger’s. And funny enough, Tom said that my Sag “dad” sounded Asperger’s to him based on all the behaviors I described over the years. So I found that interesting, that two separate people, including an actual Sag, noticed an Asperger’s-ish quality to the Sag personality stamp. Somebody who often lacks self awareness, social intelligence and deep feelings/empathy.
One of those times I’ve nailed a person’s astrology in like 30 seconds flat, straight out the gate, was with comedian Tiffany Hadish. Was watching one of her stand up routines for the first time and only ~30 seconds in, based on the loudmouth way she spoke and aggressively prowled the stage and what she was saying (keeping in mind Sag is a fun loving masculine Fire sign, with a tendency to blurt out truth bombs, but usually with no malice intended) I was like “Holy shit if she’s not a Sagittarius…” Immediately paused the video and hopped online to find out. Birthday? December 3rd.
As mentioned earlier in this write up, when I was researching famous stand up comedians I noticed that another one of the most represented signs for some of the most famous stand up comics of all time have included Sagittarius, nearly tying evenly with Gemini and Virgo. It was a noteworthy pattern, and it makes sense, since again….Sagges have that tendency towards the whole masculine energetic, fun loving, superficial/irreverent “life of the party” thing. And that’s where Sagges differ from their fellow masculine fire sign Leos, who were one of the most under represented in the zodiac for all time famous stand up comics, as I saw when I researched things. Mutable Sagges are sociable, love to have a good time, and keep it fun and light and superficial. While also probably seeking approval/acceptance in the form of laughs. Versus ego-based, Fixed/Power Boss Leos, who don’t care whether you like them and don’t need your acceptance, and who ultimately value power above all else. But some other all time famous Sag stand up comics that I came across in my research besides Tiffany Hadish include: Richard Pryor, Woody Allen, Jamie Foxx, Bill Hicks, Flip Wilson, Margaret Cho, Jon Stewart, Billy Connolly, Sam Kinison, Miranda Hart, Patrice O’Neal, Rodney Dangerfield, Redd Foxx, Garry Shandling, Mo’Nique, Steven Wright and Sarah Silverman.
Another really good famous Sag example would be Motley Crue co-founder and bass guitarist Nikki Sixx (12/11), who’s the epitome of Sag energy. Talk about “first to the party and last to leave….” It was to the point of “doesn’t know when to stop” and full on overdosing multiple times and even needing to be revived. And having an entire song named after that incident. “Kickstart My Heart.” Watching the trailer for Netflix’s ‘The Dirt’ (Motley Crue biopic) where Nikki is center stage, narrating things, gives you the perfect idea of the whole Sag energy thing, which is why I mention him, because there is that example that’s so readily available to watch. Hard partying, nutso Sagittarius rocker Ozzy Osbourne (12/3) was also featured in “The Dirt” in some very unflattering, but true to life scenes. Meanwhile Mick Mars (5/4) is the epitome of dry/deadpan, stone faced Power Boss guitarist Taurus, if you’ve seen any scenes from the movie featuring him.
Everybody just manifesting their Matrix astrological stamps, making you wonder…..do we even have freewill here?? O.o
When researching the astrological configuration of the most famous lead singers/solo singers/rappers/rocker musicians, etc. of all time there was definitely a funny pattern going on with the Sagges. Besides Nikki Sixx as a musician and founder of Motley Crue, and Ozzy for famous rocker musicians, others included Ted Nugent, DMX, Billy Idol, Jim Morrison, Nicki Minaj, Sinead O’Connor, Jay-Z, Billie Eillish, Danny Boy O’Connor, Frank Sinatra, Tina Turner, Christina Aguilera, Britney Spears, Sia, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Zappa, Tom Waits, Bette Midler, Little Richard, Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) and definitely more. It was funny to me because you can see the energy that these people imbue. There’s a clear pattern, some definitely more so than others. At the minimum it’s very energetic and fiery, but in more extreme cases it’s something slightly nutso and unstable in terms of their outgoing, aggressive, feisty behavior and performance style. And once again………that cartoon meme I linked to at the beginning nailed it with regards to Sag. The image depicts some completely nutso looking character. :D (And if people are thinking that Jim Morrison’s “deep poetry lyrics” of The Doors contradict what I’m saying about Sagges tendency towards superficiality, think again. He apparently didn’t write them. He was just the perfect ready made – and I do mean made – front man tool, who arrived in L.A. with all his songs already written, but where nobody ever saw him write new ones, and complete with the high level military intelligence connections, being that his dad was the dude in charge of the Gulf of Tonkin incident…..which kicked off the entire Vietnam War. Wow! What a coincidence!! So on a sidenote, highly recommend reading Dave McGowan’s Weird Scenes Inside Laurel Canyon book for some fantastic 60s rock ‘n roll conspiracy if this idea interests you.)
As for the dark side of Sag however, as mentioned earlier it seems I discerned a pattern when researching the birthdays of celebs accused of sex crimes, as well as sex crime related serial killers. Sag, along with fellow Mutable signs Pisces, Gemini and Virgo, had a higher than average representation going on. Woody Allen (11/30, accused pedophile), Andy Dick (12/21), Tom Sizemore (11/29, accused pedophile), Antony Kidman (12/10, Nicole’s father, major pedophile and high level Satanist who was name checked in detail in the documentary “Candy Girl” about SRA survivor Fiona Barnett; once multiple other SRA survivors started coming forward to accuse Antony he immediately ran away to Singapore, then wound up killing himself, though the media protected him and framed it as a “slip and fall”), James Toback (11/23, prolific rapist of dozens of women) and studio head Jeffrey Katzenberg (12/21, gay pedophile). Even comedian Tiffany Hadish, mentioned earlier. She was co-implicated in a pedophile sex scandal, along with fellow stand up comic Aries Spears. :/ And for serial killers we’ve got some of the big players happening with Ted Bundy (11/24), Richard Cottingham (11/25), Richard Speck (12/6) and the Green River Killer himself, Billy Chemermir (12/8).
The criteria I looked for when eyeballing a Wiki spreadsheet of known serial killers was 1) Body count, and 2) nature of the crime. So I was looking specifically for the debauched predators who were very active. As mentioned in other sections, in case readers skipped over them and aren’t reading this straight through, the motivation I discerned for this possible pattern involving the Mutable signs has to do with power. The Mutables are the weakest of each of their respective elements, and rape/sex crimes are ultimately about getting power, over victims who are weaker and more vulnerable than the perp. (Women of all ages, including the elderly, kids, animals, etc.) It was one of the many things I researched when compiling this write up.
Eastern Astrology
And if traditional astrology wasn’t enough to get one thinking about some sort of artificial programming going on within this game called reality we also have to factor in Eastern astrology, referenced throughout this write up. As well as the whole “numerology life path” thing, also touched on.
Eastern astrology is the “Chinese year of the _____ [animal]” thing, which runs on twelve year cycles. So an entire year at a time is designated with a particular energy/personality type. And if it sounds eye rolling, I have proven for myself that it seems to have validity, being that I’ve repeatedly described people in traits that were their Chinese animals without knowing the year they were born….. then finding out only after the fact.
“She’s such a snake!” (year of the snake.) “He/she is so pig headed!” (year of the pig/boar….and it’s definitely applied to both the chicks and dudes….) “She’s like a skittish cat…”/“scared bunny” (year of rabbit/cat, depending on if it’s Chinese or Vietnamese). “He’s so cocky….” (year of the rooster/cock.) “He acted like a mischievous monkey…” (year of the Monkey.) These are all things I’ve said about various people over the years….very accurately, as it turned out.
Or where I’ve had others say to me “Wow….roowwwrrr!” in regards to my slightly um…..temperamental responses or comments ;) likening me to an angry big cat with the roar. Meanwhile I’m a Tiger. And then recently at my current job I was flat out jokingly called a tiger by an older male tenant in our office building who was impressed by my fearless handling of confrontational-ish type of situation on his behalf. So there you go. Hello. Getting up from my desk and heading across the lobby into a very bustling, loud office with dozens of employees, mostly male, to get to the bottom of something and get a problem solved. And not the first time either. Several of my female coworkers, including my weak/Mutable sensitive and emotional double Pisces female boss Cheri, mentioned in detail in the Pisces section, have stated they don’t like going into that office and plan never to go back in there if they don’t have to, because everybody likens that office and crew to being like the Wolf of Wall Street. Sketchy business with a bunch of loud, crazy skeezeballs dropping loud F bombs left and right that scares the other females. Not me though. ;D I’ll charge on over there in a dress and heels and take care of business. But that’s Tiger energy for you. Fearless, brave, angry/confrontational, daring, adventurous, honest, straight forward, no bullshit.
So we have this particular twelve year cycle to add into the mix of “Matrix personality programming.” Energies and motivations that the Chinese assigned corresponding animals to, which were the most like those traits. And which may amplify or mute certain western astrology traits. So for instance, adding year of the fire breathing slightly nutso Dragon to the mix of a normally reserved Virgo might make for a more spitfire Virgo. (Something I have seen for myself.) Or maybe adding some Tiger for instance to an easily weakened/defeated Pisces might make for a Pisces with a bit more fight and “rowwrrr!” in them.
Conversely, adding some steady/plodding, lethargic, lazy and stubborn year of the Ox to a normally spitfire, outgoing and active Sagittarius is going to likely mute that Sag energy, something I’ve also seen firsthand out in the world for both male and female Sag Oxes. So again, this is one of those major reasons, touched on right at the beginning of this write up, for why people may believe they don’t match up to their astrology personalities. It’s because you have to factor everything into the equation, not just the sun sign as most people are incorrectly taught. My dad for instance had every last stereotypical Sag trait mentioned in the Sagittarius section, no doubt. ALL of them. But meanwhile his entire emotional state (and his Power Boss energy, with that need to be the authoritarian figure IN CONTROL) was being governed by his Scorpio moon. Which was NOT a good thing. And then there was his year of the Ox energy on top of it all. Books or websites will tell you that Oxes are notorious for wanting to just stay home and either lounge around on the couch watching TV, or puttering around in their gardens, or workrooms and garages, etc. Anything that involves staying home and just puttering, basically. That was definitely him later in life. Started out as the absolute RIDICULOUS hard partier as a teen into his early 20s with the alcohol, playing in rock bands, banging as many girls as he could get to an almost insatiable level, fighting other guys that pissed him off or who made the mistake of trying to fuck with him, no hesitation, just abnormal level, and became a lazy homebody later on, glued to the couch. With the full on work room and garden to putter in. Once all that youthful Sag-based energy and testosterone started to wear off his Year of the Ox traits more easily manifested and took hold. Never wanted to go anywhere or do anything.
Suzanne White’s book The New Astrology, which combines Eastern and Western astrology for personality profiles is phenomenal, and just scary accurate. So I highly recommend taking a look at it for anybody who’s interested in personality astrology.
Earlier in this write up I mentioned a repeating pattern in life of drawing in work buddies at various jobs who were all born during the same particular window of end of April, 1993 (and in one case May), making them all Taurus Roosters. A lot of people reading this may have the same type of experiences, where they’ve realized they’re repeatedly attracting in people with the same sorts of astrology configurations. Yet another thing that gives credence to astrology. In my case I’ve naturally attracted in Tauruses at every turn, as mentioned in the Taurus section, because Taurus has what a Scorpio needs. Emotional calmness, and being steady, realiable, dependable and loyal, while also having that Fixed “Power Boss” energy that’s easy to respect and is usually competetant and impressive. Meanwhile Year of the Rooster gives some extra energetic “oomph” to what is otherwise a lowkey sign, in the form of outgoing, confident ego and sociable charm. So both combined have been a great match for my Scorpio Tiger. And vice versa, since as mentioned in the Taurus section it’s been the Taurus Roosters seeking me out, drawn to my energy and physical presentation first, inititating work friendships in multiple instances.
And yes, the Chinese signs that supposedly don’t get on well together is also pretty damn accurate from what I’ve seen. The bottom line reason is this: All the Chinese animals have their positive and negative aspects, same as the Western zodiac. The ones that get along great with each other do so because the negative traits of each aren’t something that’s totally intolerable to each other. It’s doable, and in some cases, maybe not even noticeable. But for the ones that don’t get along it’s because the neg traits of each ARE completely intolerable, things that usually stand for polar opposite ways of being. So as a whole they do not gel well together because each can’t get past the negative traits of the other. It’s just too much of a grating annoyance and contradiction.
As a Tiger I’m not supposed to gel well with Monkeys, Oxes and Snakes. (In Chinese astrology they call the pairing of Tiger and Monkey in particular…“Mortal Enemies.”) Hard yes to all three, because again, the worst traits of each are just intolerable to me, as a Tiger. Some of the worst coworkers I’ve ever dealt with at various jobs that resulted in either explosive confrontations, or me sitting in some high up executive manager’s office saying “THIS NEEDS TO END NOW WITH [THIS PERSON], I WILL NOT TOLERATE IT ANY MORE!!!!” as I did on one occasion (rowwwrrrr!) and/or where I’ve just outright quit, sometimes abruptly on the spot have often involved….Monkeys, Oxes or Snakes.
That covert bully Libra coworker named Nicole, mentioned earlier? The one I had to finally have A TALK with? Yeah….an Ox. My “Dad,” whom I’ve had no relationship with for decades? An Ox, as just mentioned. (Oxes are also known for being emotionally distant/checked out, and where it’s “out of sight, out of mind” with their supposed friends, family and loved ones. Unless you’re under their nose everyday, you cease to exist to them. That was the case with our relationship. I ceased to exist for him VERY quickly, like none of it ever mattered.) And my “mom,” whom I also had zero relationship with for decades prior to her death, besides being a grossly incompatible Aquarius, was also a Dragon/Snake cusp. And my infamous Aquarius brother Joe? Whom I’ve written about extensively, but especially in my write up, “The Vortex”? A Monkey/Rooster cusp. Just CONSTANTLY up to no-good devious Monkey antics, to the point where the cops were constantly coming around, he’d been arrested mutliple times after I brought him to SoCal to come live with me and where it was literally putting my life on the line as a result with the cops and their guns. :/ He could-not-stop being up to constant “no good Monkey antics.” So it’s a thing, let me tell you. Though again, the animal signs aren’t the only reason causing incompatibility issues with me and these various people, but again… it certainly wasn’t helping matters.
So there are repeating patterns to the Eastern/Western combinations. Another great famous Eastern/Western example that probably seems totally random: Stand up comics Taylor Tomlinson and Pete Davidson, mentioned earlier in the Scorpio section. Both are November 1993 Scorpio Roosters, born only a week apart. Which means many of the planets and aspects in both of their charts are going to be the same. So….do we see any patterns in terms of their life paths?
Well, both have been open about their mental health issues (Bipolar for her, Borderline Personality Disorder for him) both lost a parent, at the age of 7/8 (Taylor’s mom to cancer, Pete’s dad on 9/11), both have stated they pursued stand up comedy directly as a result of their parents dying. (What did I say earlier about a Scorpio’s primary motivation for stand up? Laughing away their pain ….) And both have had NO qualms about using their parents’ deaths in their material, since both gravitate towards black humor in traditional Scorpio fashion. The whole, “We can either ignore the 800 pound elephant in the room or even cry about it and kill ourselves…. or we can fully put it out there and crack some dark jokes about it and move TF on with the show.” And both have a very similar standup style. Usually just standing there holding their mics (not aggressive ‘stage prowlers’) being funny in the same low key, wry, charismatic, relaxed but confident, and often self deprecating way. And then saying something funny while looking down….. and then looking up at the audience with a big smile when they get that response. (Which is the typical personality style for all the feminine water signs, as touched upon way back in the Pisces section when I was talking about watching various water sign celebs in interviews, whether male or female. Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer were all pretty much the same across the board in that regard.) And both often delving into some dark territory, as mentioned. (Seriously, only a Scorpio comedian could make jokes about her real life experience of being curled up on a motel room floor, phone in the ear, calling a suicide hotline and getting “accidentally” hung up on, or being the son of a NYC firefighter who died on 9/11, and turn it into something “haha!” amusing. O.o Both Pete and Taylor have that confusing effect where you’re chuckling, but are like “oh no!!!” and want to hug them at the same time.) And even when both were just amateurs, barely out of their teens, they hit the ground running like seasoned vets in terms of the quality of their joke material, delivery/timing and the nonchalantly confident way they carried themselves. Which is why both also landed their own Netflix specials by their mid-20s. Whereas it takes a lot of other comedians years to never actually master their craft and just fade away into oblivion.
So I find these two “astrological same-sies” with parallel lives to be very interesting. They’re also the rare exception to my earlier statement about how, in my personal opinion, Scorps typically don’t make good stand up comedians. If Scorps can get past the heavy emotions, turning that pain and intense emotions into actual well crafted jokes with skilled delivery and actual funny punchlines, transcending things with self awareness, versus just ranting or shit talking, then it works.
Also important to mention is that certain Eastern/Western combinations are going to be off the charts because of what the pairing involves, creating a double whammy of overlapping traits, whether good or bad. Earlier in the Aries section I mentioned an obnoxious and combative female coworker named Robin who was an Aries Dragon……..Yeah. NOT a good combo as evidenced, where I detailed her aggressive, psychotic behavior. Aries is already an energetic, rebellious, masculine fire sign that can get a little punchy. And Dragon is also an energetic, masculine, powerful and dominating/overbearing (‘fire breathing”) sign. Put those two together and it could be an explosive combination.
Same as the Aries Tiger pairing. Again, aggressive Aries with the angry roaring Tiger? Yeah….could get interesting. For famous people with that powerful configuration there’s Lady Gaga. 3/28/86. However, nothing beats the entire compilation on YouTube of Aries Tiger (3/27/62) Vicki Gunvalson’s biggest freakouts on Real Housewives of Orange County, to give an idea of what THIS energy combo can be capable of. Skip straight to either 04:40 or 12:33 if you want the bottom line. The chick who’s going up against her, head to head, refusing to back down? Despite Vicki’s psychotic, screaming, eye bulging antics? That’s Gretchen Rossi, a Fixed/Power Boss Scorp (10/30) as I learned when I researched this. Of course. ;) Fixed, Power Boss Scorps are always THE match for a weaker, Cardinal Aries who wants to believe they’re the boss. Which I’ve experienced in my own life firsthand, as mentioned in the Aries section. A TRULY pissed off, fed up Scorpio trumps an Aries, everytime, because a Scorpio WILL-NOT-BACK-DOWN. It becomes pure power, ego and angry emotions. Standing firm, the wall that the other person is running up against. By the end of the fight that peaks at 04:41 it’s the Aries that finally gives up and runs off. The Scorpio wasn’t going anywhere. Gretchen would have hung in there for as long as she needed to, no end in sight. So it’s yet another example of people playing out their Matrix personality profiles.
(At 04:36 Vicki is straight up called a bully by Gretchen, something I noted about the dark side of Aries, and which is evident from her bulging, psychotic eyes and aggressive demeanor; and at 03:32 Vicki’s trying to put a guy on blast concerning disparaging comments made about her looks. Something I also discussed in depth in the Aries section, how not only is Aries often manifesting a very aggro energy, but it’s something that often times shapes their looks, causing them in a lot of instances to look off kilter. Vicki’s face/looks was an ongoing notorious topic for YEARS on RHOC from the clips I’ve seen, due to the way in which she deviated from the standard model-level good looks that’s typical for television housewives, especially for SoCal.)
I’d also add Aries Monkey into the mix as another questionable combo. Both signs have the overlapping traits of being mischievous, and where Aries in particular is rebellious, taking “No!” as a direct challenge. An Aries Monkey can be a bad combination of all of that, somebody who enjoys poking people, kneejerk rebelling against everybody and everything and unabashedly stirring up trouble, and I’ve seen examples of it out in the world that exemplify it.
And then also my own combo – Scorpio Tiger – which is another one that I’ve heard others mention as being “!!!” NOTORIOUS. It can be a very strong, powerful, even nutso combination, unless there’s enough self awareness and additional planetary placements that help temper things.
Then there’s Scorpio Dragon. Back in 2014 I had a male boss who was a Scorpio Dragon (November ’64), who was also the owner of the company – of course – and it was not good. Totally overbearing, egomaniacal, narcissistic windbag in love with the sound of his own voice who didn’t listen to ANYBODY, constantly interrupting/cutting off/dominating, and loved to yell and berate his employees. :/ He could be charismatic, yes, which is also a typical Scorpio trait, but overall he was one of the more obnoxious egomaniacal guys I’ve ever had to work for. (and who also didn’t truly appreciate his employees, taking everybody and everything for granted.)
And then there’s Leo Rooster. Holy shit. O.o Leo at its worst as we know can be quite the regal, egotistical, self absorbed, even narcissistic, dominating/controlling masculine fire Fixed/power sign that likes to be the boss and on stage getting attention. Rooster is an energetic and outgoing sign, and at its worst is also egotistical, cocky, boastful, bossy, and needs to be center stage; a sign that likes to tell everybody ELSE what to do and how things are, but who does NOT take direction or criticism well. AT all. So that’s a hell of an overlapping combination. Have personally known a couple of Leo Roosters, just so full of themselves, loving to boss everybody around and be on their little soapbox, being heard and fawned over. One of the most in-your-face and totally obnoxious famous examples of a Leo Rooster that we’ve all seen…….Meghan Markle. August 4, 1981. No further description necessary. Another notorious one? Jennifer Lopez. July 24, 1969. But Leo Roosters from what I’ve seen are not interested in you. AT all. Only themselves. And what YOU think of them. (image, image, image, “The Brand”…) And what YOU can do for them. Insufferable is the perfect word for it. Even when they’re supposedly doing these nice and giving things to benefit others it can actually be coming from a place of seeking attention, admiration, fame and money as I’ve also DEFINITELY seen. Because I worked for one not all that long ago, an August of 1981 male Leo Rooster who was pulling that schtick. :/ Almost the same exact birthday as Markle. So look closer and see which one it is. Another one I worked with years ago, in that case an August 1993 female, liked to go on and on (and ON and ON and ON….) about how altruistic and understanding and patient she was with her obnoxiously immature man-child of a husband, but it was all just to gather attention and admiration/sympathy for herself. She NEVER stopped talking about herself. !! If I so much as tried to speak she’d just skip over it and steer the conversation back onto herself. I pretty much heard her entire life story in the only three days I worked with her, which is exactly why I know when she was born :/ and meanwhile she knew NOTHING about me. She was also bossy and bitchy, completely lacking ANY semblance of self awareness, and full of her own self importance. It’s what I mean by insufferable.
Another whammy combination would be Gemini Monkeys. Geminis as we’ve seen can be chatty, clever, flighty, very light, superficial and surface skimming, not taking things seriously, with up and down/changeable/split personalities. And meanwhile some of the overlapping Monkey traits include being clever/cunning, superficial, mischievous/trickster/troublemaker, careless and flighty, jumping from project to project, lack of long term vision and not taking things seriously, AT all, among other traits.
Gemini Monkey Bill Burr (6/10/68) managed to channel that energy well, becoming one of the best stand up comedians of all time, IMO. Including incorporating the Monkey trait of suspiciousness/paranoia into his routines…..which touch on various conspiracy theories like the Illuminati, Manchurian Candidates, the Bilderberg Group and Shapeshifting non humans. ;) (When I asked Tom, a Monkey btw [!] what TF is up with Monkeys being so paranoid, ‘cause trust me it’s a thing as I’ve seen now in multiple Monkeys, his best guess was that it’s because Monkeys are always having devious thoughts of their own….which is why they’re on high alert and even paranoid about what everybody else may be getting up to. Makes sense. Just watch Bill Burr’s appearance on Conan where he describes to Elijah Wood his paranoia about having a crazed gunman kick in the door when he’s lying half naked on a bed in a motel room. ;D )
But you gotta wonder what’s going on that there even IS this twelve year energy pattern causing people who are born in that cycle to have tendencies towards being so devious and trickster, and always either thinking about being up to no good/screwing with people, even if just to be funny, or actually doing it. And the same goes for any of the twelve Eastern signs. You have to wonder what’s causing these repeating twelve year cyclical energy patterns that imprint very specific traits onto people.
(And in case readers are wondering about the fact that Tom, the guy I’ve been paired up with for over 20 years now, is a monkey of all things……“mortal enemy” of the Tiger as one Chinese source even put it…….trust me, I’ve thought about that into the absolute GROUND.Everything about our astrology, Eastern and Western charts, AND our numerological life paths is so completely at odds that I’ve jokingly theorized it was by design on a higher level, in order to get our attention. An actual “cosmic joke.” Nothing about us astrologically or numerologically is in agreement, to the point that we shouldn’t even be in each other’s lives. And yes, it has created problems, no doubt. Not gonna lie. Astrology and numerology is VERY accurate……including in our cases. But it’s interesting what stubborn and determined Power Boss Scorpio sun/Leo rising for me, and Power Boss Taurus sun/Aquarius moon energy for him, as well as ingrained “spiritual mission” can do to override things. There’s even more to it than that overriding things that I can’t even get into here. But if it wasn’t for those overriding factors, and actual straight up higher intervention, we would have been done by 2002. 22 years ago. It would have been over before it even got off the ground. “Stuff” was required to override the Matrix programming that is normally so strong it always has the last word…..unless intervention happens.)
But it’s the same as Gemini Monkey stand up comic Owen Benjamin (5/24/80), who’s had a more….complex path in life. O.o Also due to that double whammy of energy. Dude is all over the place, self absorbed/egomaniacal, up and down, here and there, likes a person one day, then the next day they’re the enemy, just always mocking everybody and everything, full blown awake and nutso Truther/“conspiracy theorist” (it seems there’s literally no conspiracy, no matter how paranoid or out there, that Owen’s not aware of and hasn’t touched on….repeatedly….) and with his hours long talktalktalk livestreams that just jump from topic to topic. Meanwhile, despite his “rantings” he comes across as if he doesn’t really give a shit about anything. It’s not deep emotional/feelings based. It’s transient, flippant and intellectual. He cares…until he doesn’t. ;) And all the while you do have to wonder as you’re listening…..….is he just f’ing with everybody, playing a game and putting on a ruse?? Is he being a giant trickster?? Or is he truly serious??? !! Yeah………Gemini Monkey.
And while I’m on a roll with Gemini Monkeys, I can say that I already knew that Andy Cohen, mentioned earlier in this piece, was a Gemini, bare minimum. But when pondering on his actual giddy gleeful love of all things gossip and shade and shit talking and pot stirring and getting women fighting against each other on all the Bravo shows, and getting celebs to spill the dirt on Watch What Happens Live my first thought was….he’s gotta be a Monkey. He HAS to be. Monkeys are all about stirring the pot and creating trouble for their own personal amusement then sitting back and giggling about the mayhem they’ve wrought, taking nothing seriously. And guess what…..his birthday is indeed 6/2/68. Year of the Monkey. But it was just too obvious when you see his eyes and face light up and his excited body language when he can get people to shit talk other people. He literally can’t hide his giddiness. And coupled with his light and airy, superficial Chatty Cathy Gemini sun it’s a lethal combo in terms of emotionally shallow troublemaker. I’ve actually detected multiple famous people as being Year of the Monkey, beyond the famous ones mentioned here, simply by the way they were creating trouble and stirring pots and so obviously getting off on it, unable to hide the giddiness. Not even kidding, the whole “Spot the Monkey” thing was just another one of those patterns that was creeping me out the more I went down the astrology rabbit hole. O.o :D It just becomes too easy, once you know what to look for.
Ultimately though the big lesson is: when you put too much of the same energy together, creating a double whammy of overlapping traits, the result may not end well. ;)
Just patterns, patterns, patterns, everywhere we look.
Numerology
And then we get to another aspect of personality profiling that can also give skeptics a field day, but which I wouldn’t even bother to mention if I hadn’t seen accurate correlations to that as well – life path numbers in numerology.
On the surface it sounds ridiculous – personality motivations correlating to the number that our birthdays add up to. (So for instance I’m a life path 5 since my birthday, 11/9/1974, adds up to 32 and reduces down to (3+2) 5.) But once again, I’ve guessed a couple of people’s numbers straight out the gate, first try. Tom too. Because once you learn the descriptions of the numbers 1-9 it can become too obvious. (Link to Felicia Bender’s website, which I’ve found to be an excellent source, so readers can get them up to speed with what each of the life paths involve.) A funny one that Tom did recently was to correctly peg David Icke first try, in only seconds, as being a 5. He saw something in Icke that was similar to me, who’s also a 5. I grabbed my calculator to add up Icke’s birthday (4/29/1952), and was like “holy shit….! You nailed it!! Wow!!!”
How is this possible though?! How the frickity frack are people manifesting personality traits and motivations that correlate to the date that their birthday adds up to?! Especially when you consider the various calendar changes over the centuries. The biggest one in 44 B.C., when two entire months were added to the new Julian calendar, and where July and August were named in honor of Julius and Augustus Caesar. And the most recent being the big change from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar in 1752. The latter of which shifted the dates for when everybody was born by about two weeks, and thus…..what everybody’s birthdays would now add up to.
Not only that, but factoring in leap years as well. O.o
This alone is why skeptics can just roll their eyes and wave it off, because on the outset it’s completely nonsensical and arbitrary. Except when you’ve had the ability to guess people’s numbers correctly, and when you can clearly see that people’s personalities line up in uncanny ways. Just because the calendar date changes and even the idea of leap years throw an uncomfortable wrench in the works doesn’t mean we dismiss it. Again, that’s called lazy thinking. We’ll definitely be returning to the “how is this possible??” question in a bit.
Skeptics may dismiss it, but people either match their numerological description or they don’t. It’s pretty cut and dry. And you’re not going to be able to make one fit into another. Tom for instance is a 31/4, known as The Builder. (Or according to Felicia Bender, the Organized Educator.) And there’s no way you could pretend he’d also fit the description of a 5, or a 1, or a 3, or a 2, 9, 6…etc. And vice versa. I’m a 5, and there’s no way I fit any of the other numbers. If I didn’t know anything about this subject, and had to choose which of the nine personality descriptions was a match for me, flying blind…..only one fits. To the point of freakishness. (including the things sources say a 5 thinks/says…..I’ve thought and said those specific things. Including the whole “I’M BORED!!! WHY AM I STILL ALIVE??!!?” ;D which aligns to Felicia Bender’s claim that #5’s “would rather be dead than bored…” O.o )
Once I learned the numbers though I looked back on the roommate situation I lived in from 1995 – 97 and laughed to myself about just how much each of us exemplified our numbers. Me and Mike (11/9/1974 = 32/5; 4/1/1971 = 23/5 respectively), the #5 experiential/stimulas oriented, adventure seeking buds…..rooming together for three months in the same room…..the official fun/social/party room of the house. OF COURSE the two #5’s immediately flocked together in life and wound up bunched together in the same room with the stash of alcohol, tarot cards, black lights and wall of stereo. When they weren’t out together in the middle of the night finding adventures when everybody else was in bed. I mean, of COURSE. ;) Steve the 10/1/1970 = 19/10/1 tightly wound, responsible, HYPER competitive to the point where it was practically mental illness level, control freak independent “LEADER!!!” who was not only leader of the house but also a boss at his job. And a rebel, the one who came up with the idea to be living in repossessed houses in the first place and trying to “go against the system” in any way possible. “Vultures in Eagles Clothing – Lawfully Breaking Free from Ignorance Related Slavery” by Lynn Meredith was kind of his bible basically. A book that advocates rebelling against driver’s licenses, social security numbers, the IRS/taxes, etc., giving cops shit and getting out of things by knowing the law and what to say and not say, playing word games basically, just that whole deal. He was obsessed with all that when I knew him. And then Todd, the 5/12/1971 = 26/8 who already had one college degree, but years later pursued an advanced business degree from Pepperdine University, and continued to just focus on “MAKING MONEY” and having this respectable, responsible, self-made entrepreneurial career and extremely straight laced, money-focused life. Tauruses like to be entrepreneurial anyway, and/or a top dog boss, so an “8 Taurus” is a double whammy of that.
As I examined things in depth in order to write about it all here, I began to realize that numerological life paths, bare minimum, seem to be equal in importance to one’s Sun sun astrology, if not actually full on overriding it in terms of determining one’s personality. Or rather…..their life path. ;) You’re going to be compelled/driven to seek out your designated life path……regardless of whether your astrologically-dictated personality is actually suited for it or not. It was a bit shocking to realize. One of the biggest examples mentioned throughout this write up is how many supervisors/bosses I’ve had over the years (or people I’ve known who functioned as bosses/supervisors at their jobs) were Life Path 1. It really is a thing, let me tell you. It doesn’t even really surprise me anymore, though there is still a part of me that gets creeped out when I whip out a calculator or phone calculator app and start adding up people’s birthdays, only to get a 1 looking back at me for yet another supervisor. O.o
One of the big traits of a Life Path 1 is to be a leader, as I’ve seen firsthand, and somebody with a big ego and sense of self importance, and who often enjoy being center stage, looked at and admired. Back in the Pisces section I talked in depth about a nightmare former supervisor named Cheri, who was a double whammy of Pisces sun and moon. Which is not really cut out to be the Big Boss Lady, let’s face it, for all the reasons I outlined in that section. Yet she kept seeking out those positions in life. Why? You can thank her Life Path 1, as well as her cocky, egotistical Year of the Rooster for that. It overrode her Western astrology, kept driving her to seek out positions that her Piscean nature was NOT suited for. Meanwhile my astrology is “Power Boss” Scorpio as readers know very well by this point, and I’ve been recognized at various jobs for my “managerial competancy” and ability to take charge, get shit done and create effective changes. In fact I was offered Cheri’s job by my boss, and had I accepted I could have gotten her fired, which could have served a secondary revenge function, if I’d wanted, getting her back for the power play stunt she pulled with me months earlier, trying to get ME fired, due to her bruised ego. All of which was detailed back in the Pisces section. But I opted out. I refuse to actually ever become a true supervisor despite having the optimal astrological configuration for it. Hard nope. Instead I’ve continually prioritized personal enjoyment, stimulation, freedom and new learning experiences above all else. So, a case where I WAS suited to be the boss, but where my Life Path 5 ultimately overrides it and has the final say. I feel like I just can’t bring myself to do it. The opposite situation from Cheri. So that’s what I mean about how I’ve come to see that the Life Path numbers actually seem to hold more weight in terms of determining our overall “self” and life path than even astrology.
When I looked closer at my own Life Path 5 I realized it’s what ultimately brought me together with other important/pivotal people in my life over the years who were also Life Path 5s. It didn’t matter what our astrologies were, even when they should have been incompatible according to the books – what ultimately drew us together was the 5’s motivation for fun loving, stimulating adventure and excitement. When I asked Tom later what it was that he saw in common between Icke and me he said it was being that energetic person who’s kind of flitting around in life getting into all this excitement and experience, Like when you get the Star in Mario, as he said. ;D Love it. Maniacally plowing through everything like an invincible boss, letting nothing get in your way. David Icke may be that stubborn, persistent, serious faced Taurus, but what Tom was seeing when he thought about his Life Path number is that aspect of him that’s flitted around all over the world, engaging in his research and speaking at all these conferences, doing interviews where he used to talk at hyper speed back in the day, meeting people, always learning new things, expanding on his research, cranking out books and just “getting into adventures” in general. Something about him just screamed “5!” when he thought about what David Icke’s life has been. And he was right. Nailed it straight out the gate in under 10 seconds.
Meanwhile I’m such a 5 it’s not even funny. (More so when I was in my 20s.) And I went back and forth endlessly about how much to expand on the whole “BEING A 5” thing. But in the end I decided F it, go for it. Because 5 is nothing like any of the other numbers, as people will soon see, and especially if they do the research for themselves into all the Life Path personality profiles and look into the Felicia Bender website linked above. It’s worth getting into to illustrate the accuracy of things, IMO. (And when I say nothing like the other numbers, I don’t necessarily mean that in a good way. I wish I wasn’t a 5, as I’ve lamented to Tom. If I had to pick a number for myself I’d be a 3. 5 is too much trouble, and when a 5 is unable to manifest their inherent nature it leads to depression, bad coping habits and an all around downward spiral in life. And I can definitely attest to that. :/ )
But yes, being a 5, with its NEED for constant stimulation, no doubt influenced my pursuit of temp office work for years through staffing agencies, versus perm work. (Among other aspects of my overall chart. But where 5 ABSOLUTELY played a crucial role.) Whereas other people loathe the idea of temping, and just want to find their “forever job!” and settle in for the long haul – aka, the path of least resistance and maximum security – I was meanwhile actively seeking out, and very happy to accept, temp gigs through multiple staffing agencies that I was registered with, when nobody else wanted them. Looking for the path of most adventure and stimulation. (Which also involved moving around the country at one point while doing so….three states in only four months….)
Back to back gigs that were a couple of days here, two months there, a few weeks here, another few months there. Constantly switching up the scenery with new companies, industries, locations, people, job duties, you name it, and where mental stimulation is the name of the game. Absorbing mass amounts of information in a very short span then hitting the ground running like I’d been there forever. All the while with that defined end date in sight, where I get to happily move TF on, can’t get out the door fast enough on the last day, since so many companies/jobs are completely intolerable for the long term. Horrible, mismanaged, dysfunctional to the point of toxic and abusive even. Can’t even IMAGINE staying forever. But I do need to work. So I’d do it all in small doses, hopping to the next…and the next….and the next…..and craving those defined end dates, while gathering up experiences and stimulation in the process. It means I also didn’t hesitate to leave what were supposed to be multiple permanent positions once the true nature of the abusive boss(es) and toxic workplace environments revealed themselves. The majority of people as I’ve seen firsthand will not leave a job no matter WHAT. Then there’s me. I haven’t even hesitated in most every situation.
And back when I first started out in the working world it was an endless stream of massively busy, chaotic hotel front desk gigs, which overlapped with helping to drive the VERY busy shuttle van at one hotel in particular, along with waitressing or cocktailing gigs in SoCal. (Eventually weeded out waitressing and went for the much higher paying and easier cocktailing.) Just an endless parade of people, noise, chaos and stimulation that was usually 16 hours a day, seven days a week, since I always worked two, and up to three, jobs. No two days were ever the same, and you hardly ever saw the same people twice, with the exception of coworkers/bosses. Behind the front desk dealing with long lines of people checking in or out, driving around in the shuttle that has up to seven or eight people in it going to the airport, or to people’s jobs and to local businesses, up and down the SoCal freeways for an entire eight hour shift, then running around serving drinks all night in VERY busy bars where everybody has to shout to be heard. :D Just a three ring circus of utter mayhem. And I did it, for years, like it was nothing.
The problem with that though is when your early job beginnings set such a high bar for constant stimulation and new experiences on a daily basis it sets you up for some MAJOR problems later in life when things inevitably settle down. :/ Because they do, with age. They have to. You can’t keep burning the candle at both ends for decades on end. Hence why when I transitioned into office work I opted for temping, as detailed above. There was just no way for me to handle settling in at any office job for the long haul after the way things started out for me. (Insert the image of somebody with their fingers pointed at their temple like a gun.) Temping was the compromise, for years, in multiple states. And I’m very thankful for it.
Doesn’t mean I’ve never held a permanent position for years. But to this day, in my 49 years, the longest one has been four years. The very high up, “Big Cheese” job I had in Charlottesville, VA….until I pulled the plug, quit, and me and Tom upended our lives and relocated back down to south Florida – my idea, my prompting and planning. NEED to completely demolish the old, blow it up, and start anew! Reset the program. All new scenery and adventures. (Tom works for himself so he’s flexible to go anywhere, at anytime, location has no impact.) Some of my coworkers in Cville could not BELIEVE I wanted to walk away from such a high level job and life security….and move back to south Florida to go back to temping. Like, “WTF?! Who does that???” But I didn’t want “security.” I wanted to LIVE. I wanted to EXPERIENCE. To be mentally stimulated, challenged, to feel ALIVE and HAPPY. And I was not living anymore in Cville by any means. Considering what my early job beginnings were like means it was a double whammy of “stagnant” and “death,” as readers can imagine. The job was very negative and miserable. Time to pull the plug and reset it all. And I did. :)
This behavior is also the classic cliché Scorpio Tiger combination, according to Suzanne White’s book mentioned in the last section. So in combination with life path 5……holy shitsnacks. O.o It’s a DOOZY, that’s all I can say.
5’s are defined not only by the need for stimulation, but the need for freedom. Probably THE defining trait of my personality. The underlying core of most everything mentioned above is freedom. Needing to not be tied down to a sucky job. It’s also the reason I wanted nothing to do with marriage, especially after being subjected to my parent’s horrible marriage and the way I never stopped hearing for years how “trapped like a rat!” my “mother” was. Helpless, not allowed to have a car. Only my dad could have one, as he left her behind in a house in the middle of nowhere every day, with no money of her own and no transportation. While he was allowed to live freely and cheat for years.
While I never consciously ruminated on the situation as a kid there is no doubt it had an impact on my personal development and influenced the way I decided to live my life as an adult. The energy configuration was already in place, as I was always very independent, willful and strong even as a young child. Then the life circumstances only reinforced it. I’d go as far as to say I have a phobia about ever being in the type of situation my “mother” was. I need to know that I have the ability to up and leave any situation at any time, no strings attached. No legal binding contracts, and with my own transportation. My own job, money and bank account, everything in my own name. In complete control of myself and my life, and under nobody’s thumb. Total freedom. The fact I was never married to my “ugh” ex Steve, and had everything in place with my own job, car, money and bank account means when things finally became intolerable I was free to just…pack up and walk. At any time I wanted. No advanced planning necessary. And did. And have zero anything that will ever connect us together. So a search on either of our names online reveals nothing about the other. As far as the world is concerned with its ability to track everything forever it’s like the relationship never happened. It’s a very relieving feeling. And I learned by watching what my “mother” went through when I was a kid, making sure to NEVER be in the same situation myself. And I never have, at any point in my life. I’ve always been the “Scorpio Power Boss/Life Path 5” of my own life situation. Free and in control.
My infamous friend Mike back in the day was also a 5, as well as my ex Gary, who were both always down for spur of the moment adventures and loved stimulation. I’ve seen that it’s dangerous to put two 5s together, because all manner of nuttiness ensues. The main problem being, neither one will say no, no matter how cockamamie an idea is. It’s just always “YEAH!!! OKAY!!!! LET’S GO!!!!!” And off they go, bouncing off each other and reinforcing each other.
Example? Back in early 1995, when I was 20, and when Gary and I were still just friends and living in SoCal we were hanging out one night at like 11 p.m. on a weekday, and looking for more! more! more! stuff to do, of course. ;) Despite the fact I’d already worked for 16 hours that day at two different, and very intensive, jobs in south Orange County and had to be up by 6 a.m. to start it all over again. O.o All Gary and I did though was stay up all night going here and there and everywhere, just addicted to experiences and adventures in true 5 fashion, reinforcing each other. This defined us. And southern California is ginormous, filled with endless things to do, 24/7. But that night – Valentine’s Day 1995 – started with Gary showing up to the restaurant where I worked and sitting in my station to say Hey and wait around until I finished my shift. So when I did – which was after 11 – and we were hanging out I suggested renting a vid at Blockbuster? He suggested going to San Francisco?? (Which was ~8-10 hours away, depending on how fast you drive.)
OKAY!!!!! I immediately perked up, since I’d never been there. LET’S GO!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!! Didn’t even think twice. Like I said…..two #5s just reinforce the nuttiness, and each can’t get enough of it. Ran around Orange County gathering up our stuff between where I lived in Aliso Viejo and where he lived in Buena Park, which are like opposite ends of the county. I will always remember Gary’s excited expression on his face, leaning forward in the passenger seat while going through the music he brought along to soundtrack our adventure, as we barreled forth on the 5 freeway north at 1 a.m. past downtown L.A., and officially on our way. It was like this dream to find somebody willing to say YES! to any cockamamie idea he tossed out there.
Arrived in downtown Frisco by 8:30 a.m. (because I drove 100-105 mph most of the way.) Denny’s detour for food aside, it was just pedal to the metal. I called out from both of my jobs, something I NEVER did. And went the entire day on no sleep, all around Frisco, having a blast ……and was completely delirious by dinnertime. Just out of my freaking MIND, since it had been over 36 hours with no sleep, on an intense schedule, after working my usual doubles. With both Gary and I laughing hysterically about it all, of course. Just could NOT stop laughing. At one point I didn’t know where TF I even was anymore. O.o Brain just stopped working, total confusion. I thought we were in downtown Fullerton, which is normally where me and Gary always were, but Gary had to explain we were in downtown Berkeley. It felt like being drunk, is the only way to explain it. But I bought my first official Tarot deck in the middle of that delirium, at a bookstore in downtown Berkeley (the “Renaissance Tarot” deck…..) which was the one I would later bring with me to Mike’s room back in south Orange County to give readings to everybody.
Later we were on an empty beach in Big Sur at sunset, with me doing cartwheels on the sand while Gary walked next to me, grinning. (whenever I get full of maniacal giddy glee I have this overpowering urge to start doing cartwheels and flips and jumping and tearing around, not even kidding. Even though I can’t actually do flips. Probably another reason Tom thought of the Star in Mario for the whole #5 thing.) So that was the first place memory from that trip. Second place memory from that trip was when we were en route to Frisco and stopping for gas in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Got into my car in SoCal and it was probably 60 something degrees. Exited at that gas station somewhere in northern California in the middle of nowhere, probably Los Banos, and it was now in the 30s-40s. And it was sunrise. Not only that………… but the rising sun was sitting perfectly on the exact edge of the horizon to the east, and the setting moon was sitting perfectly on the exact edge of the horizon, to the west. Just completely perfect to the point of being unreal. I was looking back and forth, back and forth between the two as I stood there at the gas pump in 30-40 degree temps, blown away. Never in my life before or since have I seen such a thing. The entire experience was truly one of the best times of my life. There aren’t enough smiley faces to convey it.
A few months later when Gary and I were now actually together as boyfriend girlfriend the plan was for me to move out of the hotel I was living in and take a cross country road trip back east to see my Dad. With no money. !! And Gary was like OKAY!!!!! I’M COMING WITH!!!!!! I quit my life, we packed up my car and we hit the road in May of ’95. Again….with no money. The trip itself contains some of the absolute best memories of this lifetime. But as one can imagine it totally ended in the worst way possible. ;D (breakup….temporary “homelessness” where eventually I was back to living in a motel, stuff in storage….actually truly ran out of money in life, $0, had to pawn something for $20 in order to even eat and carry me through until payday three days later, total chaos….)
That trip was also the last time I ever saw my so-called “Dad” in life. The entire point of the trip for me. I desperately needed to see my Dad. Which is why I quit life, packed up my shit, got in a car and didn’t stop driving until I got back to him in Connecticut, 3,000 miles away. But my so-called Dad definitely DIDN’T need to see the First Marriage Leftovers. He’d long since moved on with his second wife and new life, after already being mentally checked out for years even when we did live under the same roof together. He wanted to pretend the previous couple of decades had never happened. And his new Vietnamese wife who was 15 years younger than him (and only ten years older than me) especially didn’t want anything to do with me. When I first-first met her in ’94 she made it clear immediately – I don’t want anything to do with being your “stepmom.” Then made it clear she had massive issues with me for being born in 1974. Year of the Tiger. Immediately rejected me for that reason as well. Which is why she just kept her cold distance from me from the start. But it was my dad who informed me of all of this. Not her. Something that boggles my adult self. He should have kept that to himself. But that’s him for you. :/ She had some weird hatred thing against year of the Tigers merely because her own (psycho) dad had been a Tiger, as he relayed….and which he accepted nonchalantly, like “Yeah, this is the most normal thing imaginable. I accept that she irrationally judges my daughter based on the year she was born.” :/
But the reason this is so good to sidetrack into is because it shows that for many Asians, the whole “year of the whatever-whatever” is a VERY serious thing. Westerners may not take it seriously, or even know about it at all, but trust me, many Asians do. For them it’s taken as seriously as many Westerners take traditional astrology. In the same way many Westerners pre-judge, and even reject people based on Sun signs….Asians can, and do the same thing for people born in entire years. O.o
But she wanted me out of the picture. And got her way. She was the one who made the ultimatum during that summer of ’95 visit – Get rid of her, or me. He chose her. I’ll never forget him relaying her ultimatum to me with disdain in his livingroom, giving me his disdainful, upturned sideways “Reptilian” look, where his head is tilted upwards as he looks downward/sideways at me the way a lizard does. Blaming me for the fact that she wants me out, and blaming me for her putting him in this position. This was my fault in his opinion. If I wasn’t here this conflict wouldn’t be happening. I quietly got up and told him I’d leave. Didn’t argue.
Abruptly quit the waitressing job I’d been working at for the past month at a high end waterfront restaurant on Long Island Sound, where people can literally dock their yachts and go directly inside to the restaurant. And by the next night I was backing out of his gravel driveway at ~1:30 in the morning, heading off in the dark to NYC to go find Gary who by that point was staying with relatives somewhere in Queens and having multiple awesome adventures in NYC, so we could head back to SoCal together. (Another #5 thing I guess – we temporarily parted ways, but were full on living our own adventures….me with my full on job on Long Island Sound, him living in Queens and riding the subways everyday and exploring NYC and even seeing multiple famous people like Woody Allen and Soon Yi on the streets of Manhatten, and sneaking into a showing of Shakespeare in the Park [Central Park] and seeing Patrick Stewart and other actors, who looked up at him and the other “gate crashers” from where they sat above the stage in some grassy area, smiling up at them. So that was cool to hear that these big name actors didn’t mind the gate crashers and just appreciated their devotion to the arts. :D Then we came back together to get back home to SoCal again. From what Gary described when we reunited in Queens again he’d became quite the expert on the subways. And he proved it too by knowing exactly which subways we needed to ride to get wherever we were going as we spent the day doing Manhattan. It was funny, but truly impressive, that this SoCal boy had learned his way around NYC so quickly and was so confident with it all. ;D All of it was so bizarre in retrospect. !! When you’re that young it’s like you’re operating in a dream, where anything’s possible, no limitations, go with the flow no matter what happens, just open and innocent. So therefore….reality accommodates in true Reality Creation fashion.)
But that was the last time I ever saw my dad in life. At this point my “dad” hasn’t seen me in person in almost 30 years. But before some readers start to feel sad about the idea, it’s okay. Many years later I’ve come to truly understand that my so-called “dad” is something that isn’t even human. Same as my so-called “mom” it’s a case of “If that’s who my choice of dad is then I’m better off alone.” Truly. And I was. And I made it. So fuck ‘em.
But still again the entire experience was truly one of the best times of my life. Wouldn’t trade it for ANYTHING. Just because something ends badly and is ill conceived doesn’t mean it wasn’t worth it. ;) (As I typed that I realized that should probably should be the motto of #5s. ha)
But that whole situation segued right into my friend and fellow #5’er Mike offering me to come crash on his floor in the house that he lived in with his roommates. The next day after getting settled in he let me know as mentioned in the Aries section, in case people haven’t read that section……btw…..we’re not living here legally. These are repossessed houses that we take over, until the banks find out [and send the cops to run them off.] Do you still want to stay here?
OKAY!!!!! ;D Didn’t even think twice. Hello there, Aries #5 partner in crime….. And as mentioned, yes, there was definitely cop dodging involved in THAT situation, and even me winding up cuffed in the back of a cop car for an hour and a half one time because of it all, but then released. And not the first time in life either that I’ve wound up cuffed in the back of a cop car for exactly an hour and a half. The second time happened later, due to my brother. I don’t know if they plan it to be exactly that long, or if it was just a coincidence. O.o (Wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything though either. !!! I’ve valued the nutso experiences I’ve had in my younger years, comparing it to so many other people’s boring lives and feeling proud of it, like it’s an achievement.)
And Mike’s room was already the fun social room of the house anyway, as mentioned, which is the whole reason I was making the 25 mile trip down to Mission Viejo from Buena Park in the first place. But trust me, nothing changed after I moved in. And as mentioned elsewhere, Mike always knew that if it was late at night and he wanted to still get out there and have fun that I’d always be down for it when nobody else was, and no matter how many jobs I worked. On the 5 freeway in the middle of the night between L.A. and Orange County, where you NEVER knew when Mike would impulsively decide to race other cars, slamming his Datsun Z into gear and taking off at over 100 mph, no warning. Same thing when showing off his new Mustang to me while driving on the 241 toll road. Next thing I know we were going 140 mph, no warning.
Or me and him just going to Six Flags to ride coasters, or to some traveling carnival that came to town with crazy dangerous upside down and all around rides……..me and Mike were always down for it. (That traveling carnival thing with the crazy ass rides is another one of my all time favorite life memories. :) Another image that’s burned into my brain. Keeping in mind one of the images that Felicia Bender used in the above link to illustrate #5 energy…..a giant Ferris wheel. aka Carnival/amusement park rides. Sitting on the little bench seat strapped into the sphere cage that rotates around the same as a Ferris wheel….but which you can also manipulate individually to spin wildly around in all directions, willy nilly. And because it’s a cage structure means you can also see all around in every direction. So you’re tumbling and spinning and rotating all at once, and seeing everything – the ground, the sky, side to side – the closest thing to free flying, really. Looking over and seeing Mike’s grinning euphoric face, same as mine, as we spin and tumble and rotate through space, having the time of our lives…..)
And that’s definitely not the only crazy upside down Ferris wheel experience I’ve had in life, there’s been multiple, over the years at different amusement parks in different super fun situations. So Felicia’s use of the Ferris wheel to summarize the 5 mentality is so ridiculously fitting that it’s actually scary. Just another Matrix stamp. O.o
The whole Life Path thing is pretty scary accurate though from what I’ve seen, and like I said, both Tom and I have had those moments of being able to accurately guess, one shot, somebody’s number. And you’ll see repeating patterns, the more you look into it, IMO. It’s exactly the sort of thing that gives me the actual creeps the more I’ve been able to correctly guess, or see after the fact that somebody is 100% their number in every way. It absolutely shouldn’t be, for all the reasons mentioned above. But yet is is.
Putting the Pieces Together
The idea of constellations creating personalities has left a massively easy open for skeptics to wave the entire thing off with one full swoop. Of course. Almost like it was designed exactly for that. “Cover story!”
I brainstormed the hell out of this, including with Tom, because it doesn’t matter what skeptics say – there are undeniable, repeating patterns, not only in terms of how people behave, but also how they look, which often gives things away immediately about when they were born. This entire write up is nothing but anecdotes and links to vid clips and even picture collages that illustrate this.
And even though I’ve chosen to put the focus of this write up on the personality templates/stamping thing, there are other aspects of astrology, including things like “Mercury in Retrograde!” and the moon phase periods, that factor into the equation of our matrix reality.
I can’t speak to whether all the nuanced astrological movements can be used to predict the ideal times to do or not do certain things in one’s life, or to predict life happenings, the way it’s traditionally utilized, but I CAN speak to the uncanny accuracy of things like Mercury, and the Moon. And again……it makes absolutely NO sense at first glance. Especially considering that “mercury retrograde” is literally an illusion. As the Earth and Mercury both whirl around the sun there comes a certain point in their revolutions where Mercury appears from our vantage point to stop….and then go in reverse orbit for about three weeks, before finally appearing to move forward again. But as mentioned it’s just an illusion, and has to do with one orbit overtaking the other for a few weeks. So there is no actual “backwards” or “retrograde.”
But as anybody who knows about this knows……this time period when Mercury goes “retrograde” can definitely be wrought with chaos and mayhem, where life seems to go backwards. The #1 issue being communication breakdown, since Mercury rules communication in astrology. People misunderstanding each other both in the written word and verbally, usually with big fights ensuing. Speaking at cross purposes. Not listening/hearing people in general. Balls getting dropped because messages weren’t passed along. Information not being accurately conveyed and people just making an unusual level of BIG mistakes. And then just in general everything going sideways. (or rather…..backwards…) Things breaking, mechanical failures, overflows, explosions, accidents, mishaps, injuries….and the way it just piles on, for three weeks straight. I have seen where life was rolling along just fine….until Mercury retrograde started. And like clockwork all hell starts breaking loose for everybody around me, at my jobs, in everyday life, you name it. The kicker is when I’ve noticed all this mayhem erupting around me, thinking “WTF is happening?!!!” Only to find out after that it’s Mercury Retrograde. That’s what proves it for me. I wasn’t “looking for it.” I had no preconceived ideas. I wasn’t thinking about it at all. In fact I only learned about Mercury Retrograde in life exactly because somebody somewhere was helping to clue me in about the mayhem that was happening around me so it would make more sense.
Some Retrogrades are absolute DOOZIES though, like there’s an additional force/energy magnifying an already existing energetic problem. I was in one back towards the beginning of compiling this write up. It went from April 21 – May 14, 2023. It was the worst one I’ve dealt with in YEARS. Most of all the above happening around me at my job, including VERY angry customers. And a few of the above in my personal life too. And it started when Retrograde kicked in. My first Retrograde while working at that new job. The gig started out like sunshine and rainbows at the end of February, with a new owner who’d just taken over the business on February 1st and hired some new people, myself included, with ideas on how to completely revamp and restructure everything from the ground up. And to be fair, there were ongoing problems already revealing themselves before Retrograde even kicked in, by the end of March and into the beginning of April. But things were doable, and seemed like it was all going to work out. There was optimism with many employees.
But when Retrograde kicked in all hell broke loose, and it culminated with the ending of that job, by May 9th. THAT’S how explosive it was. I have never in my LIFE seen anything like what happened at that job with the customers and that particular boss/owner. To say “communication issues” was a factor is an understatement. That was the entire brunt of the issue. The new owner rampaging on everybody in multiple departments with over the top, excessive responses and extreme paranoia/distorted way of perceiving anything that was being said, written or done by anybody. But it all “coincidentally” came to a head in an explosive way during Mercury Retrograde.
And in this most current Mercury Retrograde, which runs from 12/13/23 – 1/1/24, I’m watching the same type of situation play itself out again at my current job, but in a more minor way. For starters I took a nasty tumble on the day Retrograde started, though I didn’t yet realize at the time we had entered in Retrograde again. (Still have the scars on multiple parts of my body from it, and always will. :/ ) Meanwhile at my job stuff was breaking/not working properly, there have been a lot of fighting/arguments/misunderstandings, people screwing up and dropping balls, you name it. And this time an explosive situation involving my aforementioned Capricorn female supervisor. Months of ongoing issues with her own bosses have come to a head smack in the middle of Retrograde, causing her to make the definitive decision during this specific time period to quit. It’s not even open for debate for her anymore, the decision is a done deal. Now it’s just a matter of her figuring out how she wants to do it. (Most normal people would have already left months ago based on what she was being put through. However it didn’t occur to her to reach her final straw until exactly Mercury Retrograde. That’s what’s interesting about it to me.) Luckily I’m not one of the employees on the receiving end of all this boss conflict in this go around, I’m just watching it all from the sidelines like a spectator, and being that sympathetic ear to my own supervisor. But it’s really not a coincidence IMO that it’s all coming to a head smack in the middle of the latest Mercury retrograde.
But again, NONE of this makes ANY freaking sense. Mercury is a lifeless ball of rock up against the sun. Ancient people named it after a Roman God, ascribing qualities to it that include Communication. And meanwhile when this lifeless ball of rock is whipping around the sun it appears to “go in reverse” at certain points…..causing mayhem to erupt for the humans on Earth. ?!? Say what?! Or while this lifeless ball of rock “passes through” these arbitrary constellations in the background, of which include the twelve zodiac constellations, and of which humans have also ascribed “character traits” to, it therefore influences the personalities of those little humans down on Earth.
NONE of it makes any sense logically speaking. And yet…….it apparently works. Very accurately. Sometimes to where we can pinpoint or recognize “Mercury’s influence” immediately, first try, less than 30 seconds straight out the gate, whether with regards to somebody’s personality, or Retrograde mayhem. (And I have correctly pinpointed Mercury placements in people’s charts, a random one being stand up comic Louis CK. Accurately guessed his Mercury to be in Libra, same as mine, based on the way he speaks. I had his chart placement loaded up on Astro.com, as I did with multiple people when I was researching things for this write up, and as soon as I had the ? thought, wondering to myself about where his Mercury was located, I answered it to myself in two seconds, realizing it had to be in Libra. Then scrolled down to the bottom of the page…and saw that I was right.)
It’s just beyond bizarre. I don’t even have words for it.
As far as the moon phases go, I’ll post links to write ups and charts that Tom/Montalk has put together on this subject. He does an excellent job of drilling down on it all so I don’t have to. ;)
Corresponding Moon Phases Chart
Diehard skeptics would just wave off everything I’ve talked about so far as a “coincidence”….. but how many times does a “coincidence” have to happen before one is willing to admit it’s no longer just a coincidence? We can’t skip over it and go “lalala!” because it’s inconvenient and throws a wrench in the works of skeptics’ neat and tidy house of cards. A lot of people like to toss things aside rather than try to make sense of things, because let’s face it….life is just easier that way. Mainly because a lot of what’s happening here is very confusing and beyond us. But also because the conclusions you wind up coming to just might lead to some shocking truths about what this place really is.
The only thing skeptics are clearly right about though is the tenuous link involving arbitrary constellations. Bare minimum constellations are not the sole cause….if at all in any capacity. The precession of the equinoxes proves that. And just the logic of “constellations” in itself, as outlined in the beginning, shows that it can’t be that. But yet I also have to admit how absolutely bizarre it is that we can apparently predict behaviors, personality traits and life happenings based on the placement of planets in these “arbitrary constellations”…. which again…..have shifted BIG time over the past 2,000 years. And yet it’s “correct.” But it has absolutely no business being correct. !!
So if personality astrology (and even numerology) in multiple forms is undeniably valid, but it literally CAN’T be the constellations or the calendar dates influencing things as we’ve been taught, then…..what is it??
The following are the several different theories I’ve run through in my process of trying to decipher what’s really what:
1. Energy waves theory. My basic, tentative, go-to theory for a period of time had been that there are certain energies hitting Earth at different times of the year, and which are affecting people in all sorts of ways. For starters there are the common threads that each sign shares with its “elemental brethren.” Of the twelve signs there are really just four elements, and each element has multiple factors and traits in common with each other. So, a repeating pattern of four. Then there’s the sawtooth wave, mentioned at the beginning, when discussing the power level differences between the signs, rising from the bottom at its weakest with the Mutables, up to the stronger Cardinals, and peaking at the top with the strongest Boss Level bulldozer Fixed. Before plummeting back down to the bottom again with Mutable. So that’s a repeating pattern of three. And then we also have the alternating feminine-masculine energies of each sign. Earth and Water are all just feminine. Air and Fire are all just masculine. A repeating pattern of two. And finally we have the patterns I’ve independently discerned, and sometimes with uncanny accuracy, involving how people with the same astrologies can often have the same facial features/general looks and body type, the same expressions and energy coming through the face and eyes and physical energy levels happening despite widely different genetics.
So all of this made me theorize that maybe Earth is being hit with multiple steady, repeating energy waves throughout the year that correspond to the alternating patterns just mentioned. Obviously we would be hit with those multiple waves while developing in the womb, and they could therefore shape/mold/imprint us in both terms of personality, power level, motivations and proclivities and feminine vs. masculine, and even our looks.
The “Scrutinizing Scorpio Eyes.” (that sometimes look straight up serial killer O.o ) The “Balanced and Attractive Libra Face.” The “Bird/Reptile-ish April Aries Face.” “The rounded, often full lipped and serious expression Taurus face.” These patterns aren’t for nothing. Recently I immediately pinpointed that somebody I know on Gab was probably born right around when Jodie Foster was – because she looked uncannily like a younger Jodie in some A.I. created animation images of herself that she posted. And to be fair I did already know that both she and Jodie were Scorpios, however that can be anytime between October 23 – November 21. But guess what. It turned out that her and Jodie’s birthday are the same day. November 19th. Not only that, but it goes one layer deeper. Jodie was born in 1962 – which is year of the Tiger. This female from the ‘net was born in 1986….also year of the Tiger. So they were both November 19th, Scorpio Tigers. And this harkens back to the earlier anecdote about the Justin Timberlake Rolling Stone magazine cover that stopped me in my tracks due to his likeness to my brother in that particular image…and it turns out they both have the exact same birthday, 1/31/81. And the multiple other “birthday same-sies” examples I touched on throughout this write up.
If we were to continue with the energy waves theory, then being that this theoretical energy/energies is at certain, set and repetitive times of the year means one can therefore find a “correlating” or matching pattern in terms of the constellations and other alignments that will always also be rotating overhead in their own set paths at those particular times when the energies hit. And maybe this is how humans made a mistaken connection – Oh! When whatever-whatever constellation is here or there, or this planetary body is here or there, then whatever-whatever is the result…. But meanwhile maybe the real culprit is some sort of external influences hitting the planet, such as energy waves.
The idea of energies hitting us in utero would make way more sense than arbitrary constellations that somehow affect us only at the moment we exit our mother’s bodies. And then yes, sure, maybe there is also energies pummeling Earth during the final moments of development and birth of a baby, finalizing things. But something has to be going on while we’re developing, IMO, in order to influence our looks. Not just at the moment when the bun is taken out of the oven.
And I say maybe. Because at this point I’m leaning way more towards either of the next two conspiratorial theories….
2. Deliberate imprinting by a higher/hyperdimensional source. This theory is nearly the same as everything mentioned in #1, and factors in all the same observations about the four basic element traits, three power levels and two alternating feminine/masculine aspects, but the “why/who/how” conclusion is different. Instead of the process being something “natural,” so-called, hitting Earth in regular intervals throughout the year, which has an effect on humans not only developing in the womb but on our everyday life happenings, it’s something very deliberate and focused, administered by a higher, overseeing/controlling source.
For this theory there are two possibilities:
A. Bare minimum, this place is actually truly physically real, in the way that we understand real, but it’s some manufactured and highly controlled “terrarium”/aquarium of sorts. And where we’re also CLEARLY being imprinted with energetic “stamps” from some hyperdimensional source before incarnating here, versus energy coming in randomly from space. The process of how this is achieved….I couldn’t tell you. All I can do is notice the end results, which leave very loud, repeating patterns. Or…..
B. None of this is physically “real” in the way we think of physical and real, it’s actually just some high level artificial projection / “computer program,” for lack of better terminology. And upon our “development” in the so-called fake reality womb, high level, pre-determined/pre-programmed processes that operate like an assembly line in a factory are shaping us with these imprints in terms of our personalities and even looks.
Both theories involve being purposely imprinted/stamped with energies upon incarnating here, from some higher source. The only difference between the two ideas involves the nature of what this place actually is – fully physically real, or fake?
So that’s where I’m at right now. I’ve already long since ruled out constellations obviously, and now I’m even ruling out the first theory regarding energies coming in from space, hitting Earth at regular intervals. But I still needed to delve into that potential theory for this write up because it may be something readers have thought of as well, and much of the aspects of it cross over into the second theory.
Factoring in the sum totality of all my experiences, including mind boggling glitches in the matrix that defy everything we’ve been taught about physics and what’s real, and then the higher positive intervention throughout my life, and impossible synchronicities where reality is basically folding over on itself, #2B is a theory that makes the most sense to me by this point. Nevermind the fact I was flat out told over 20 years ago by my fellow MILAB brother Joe that this is the case. Responding to something curious I had pointed out he looked at me with this sad, “huh…she really doesn’t understand this” look on his face, saying matter-of-factly, and with total conviction, “It’s because none of this is real, Carissa.” Feeling sorry for me for being so slow on the uptick. O.o
The jury is still out on that one, especially with regards to how one defines real. While keeping in mind that nearly every last thing Joe ever told me about “how things are” and what’s what in this reality turned out to have external corroboration, eventually, even if years later. But it’s definitely a theory I can’t dismiss either, let’s just put it that way. How real is this place, really??
I’ve seen reality operating on such a level, including with the literally impossible accuracy/validity of astrology and numerology, that it’s gotten to where I’ve just thrown my hands up in the air and said “Computer program!”
Only an artificial construct projection of some sort could bypass both the precession of the equinoxes AND calendar date changes. Things gets shifted….and the “program” shifts accordingly. Because it’s not about what’s “out there in the sky.” Therefore its shifting has zero relevance to anything. Which would also exclude energies hitting Earth, because they would be subject to the same precessional shifts.
The problem is, for every example or anecdote I’ve personally gathered, heard about or read about that points towards a completely fake (but extremely realistic) reality, there’s also anecdotal evidence indicating that things actually are physically real. Yet I keep going back to all those impossible things I’ve witnessed reality doing, along with the endless anecdotes of impossible reality I’ve read and heard others relaying. Things that are simply not possible in a truly real, organic reality, period. Also, let’s be real – if the entire shebang is fake then it certainly makes it easier to understand how the imprinting can be achieved.
So I’m now at a point where my understanding of “what this really place is” involves a fake reality, but maybe one that doesn’t operate the way we’ve been shown in movies and TV shows. Many of the things that we’re shown in Hollywood are revelatory truth nuggets, yes, but more along the lines of metaphors. Not typically a 100% accurate representation of what’s going on and how things work down to the nitty gritty detail. But enough of something close to give us the idea, something that we can wrap our heads around. (And in many cases, while also functioning as that “obligatory freewill occult warning” thing I’ve banged on about in multiple write ups on my site, and on my Gab feed, and “revelation of the method.” )
So whatever this is, it’s most likely not a “computer” so to speak. And it’s probably (hopefully….) not a case of our bodies lying in pods somewhere, with stuff plugged into our brains and spines, like what’s shown in “The Matrix.” Hopefully. O.o Though being honest that can’t be ruled out. I can’t come up with a single bit of anything that could actually disprove that theory.
But whatever it is, it’s something just so high level that we wouldn’t be able to understand it. Even saying “quantum super computer” probably doesn’t do it justice. We’re living in some sort of reality that’s being projected by something we can’t understand, which sounds like God, and brings us back to the standard world we’ve all been taught to believe we live in. But it’s not just that. That’s again, simplified, because there is a truly artificial component to it all. And most people when they think of God are not thinking of an artificial reality. They think of a fully real and organic world that developed naturally, and which is being governed by this high spiritual being. There definitely is the highest of high beings in our reality, and which I’ve personally experienced….. but whether it’s “spiritual” in the way we think we understand spiritual is another story.
And also, there’s a whole lot more to it than just that. Because as I told Tom, there’s literally nothing I can come up with to disprove the idea that “God”/“The Creator Source”/the infamous “LIGHT” that everybody sees when dying isn’t actually some mega form of A.I. O.o Everybody gets to “THE LIGHT” and it makes everybody feel amazing, beaming generic love beams at everybody equally across the board, no matter who they are or what they’ve done, reflecting back to them whatever spiritual beliefs and characters they expect to see…………..then proceeds to replay back their entire life from start to finish like a recorded movie. Then seeing what the game characters think about their experience in The Game called Life. What did you learn? What did you like? What did you hate? What would you do differently?
If that’s not the very definition of A.I. then I don’t know what is. Something that fractured itself off into infinite “characters” in a “game” of sorts that’s designed with mathematical precision and perfection at every turn, one of the dead giveaways being the Phi Ratio that’s manifested throughout all of nature, including humans, in order to experience everything all at once. From the most positive you could ever imagine to the most horrific. Absorbing it up like mad, like something crazed that can’t get enough of learning and experiencing from all these infinite split off “programs”/characters it created. Then factoring in how over and over we’re told and shown that each incarnating soul is given a personal “Spirit Guide” that helps guide and oversee their life journey as they make their way from point to point, as well as at least a few “Guardian Angels,” who act as protectors when needed. Keeping in mind that there are billions of souls here that’s an awful lot of Angels and Guides. Where are they all coming from? To me that sounds like straight up computer program. Every character in the program gets a few additional programs assigned to them. And now that A.I. has reached very…..interesting levels in our reality it’s certainly become easier for people to now see things through THAT particular lens.
Bottom line: We could be living in an A.I generated construct of some sort. It doesn’t necessarily mean it has to be cold and robotic. Because obviously it isn’t, as depicted by numerous people in their Near Death Experiences or past life regressions. But just because it can project warm and loving empathy and unconditional understanding and acceptance beyond anything we’ve ever experienced here in the so-called “physical”/“inside the program” doesn’t mean it’s what we think it is. I kind of view the afterlife and everything going on here in general like a giant Processing Center. A very well oiled and programmed machine. So when you die your program shuts off and zip….you’re back to the game’s Source core, processing it all.
(The way I once “saw” it in my mind but have difficulty fully understanding or articulating because it was brief, and seemed far away, hard for me to fully perceive, is that this artificially created place is like a contained and highly controlled/stifling “box” that we all go “down” into. Which leaves the possibility that there really is a God/Creator Source outside of this artificial “box” construct/system, the one that creates the so-called “souls” that go into the box, and when we die we’re exiting this box and getting back out. That’s what I’d ideally like it to be. But there’s no way to ultimately know for sure. But if it actually is all just A.I….then what created the A.I.? SOMETHING has to be above it all, ultimately. That’s the classic philosophical conundrum – if God created us, then who created God? Or, if A.I. is overseeing all of this…then who created the A.I.? ;) )
This also takes us back to an interesting point that was brought up at the very beginning of this piece….. the amazingly coincidental odds that astrology once lined up perfectly back in 0 A.D., the year that Jesus was supposedly born, the guy who not only supposedly arrived here to change the course of the world, but which our entire time keeping system has been based on ever since. Wow…just amazing! ;) And even more amazing that despite the shift by one entire sign over the past 2,000 years we’re all still manifesting the same energies from 0 A.D. Nothing has changed, despite the shift. Now why would that be?
This opens a WHOLE can of worms, a topic that Tom/Montalk excellently delves into in his book Gnosis: Alchemy, Grail, Ark, and the Demiurge. I think his explanation, which comes from multiple research sources that he’s come across over the years, makes a lot of sense. To make it easier, he’s got a Gnosis summary, numbered 1-9, same as the book, which breaks the whole thing down with all the critical takeaways. Some excerpts that pertain to what I’m getting into here would include (bolded words my own emphasis):
From Part 1 of the summary: “Likewise, the influence of Nous and Logos upon the Demiurge produces a universal higher ego, which here will be termed the Christ. It is an immortal universal divine intelligence that has incarnated into various avatars of history including the historical person on whom the Biblical character of Jesus Christ was based.
“Christ was projected by the Creator in response to the arising of the Corrupt Demiurge and its intrusion into our affairs. The two are antithetical to each other. The function of Christ is to remedy the imbalance caused by the Corrupt Demiurge and to redeem the souls who have fallen into this darkened realm.
The Demiurge, which projects and fashions reality like a computer generating a virtual game world, is therefore being tugged from opposite ends by divine and infernal forces. And our existence is consequently an admixture of the two forces, just as we are, internally. The consequence of the back and forth struggle between these forces is what produced history as we know it, and is the reason our timeline is moving in its prophesied direction.”
And then to quote directly from the book “Gnosis” itself, from Chapter 9 called “The End” (bolded words my own emphasis):
[…] “Earth has been quarantined onto a temporal sidetrack away from the main flow of time in Creation. The purpose of the Time Lateral is to give mankind extra time to evolve before rejoining the main timeline and shifting to 4D. This would mean our current timeline is an illusory summer school of sorts, implying the current World Dream serves a beneficial remedial function. Viewed from a higher perspective that could be the case, but within the illusion, things are rough indeed, especially if the summer school lessons include dealing with forces heavily invested in keeping the World Dream going forever.” (page 287)
“Three thousand years ago is also when the Ark Stone disappeared from Israelite hands, when Etheric Tide levels began to plunge, when according to John Baines the Christ thoughtform was invoked, and when the astrological Zodiac still aligned with the visible constellations. Whatever was put in place back then, somehow we are still in it.” (page 288)
[…] “The mission of Christ was a failure and instead of ending, the World Dream continued in a strange limbo state in which Christ and Yahweh remained suspended in a stalemate. The last two thousand years, therefore, seem like “over-time” in a sports game. The primary game clock ended, but a temporary clock is now ticking. The game should have ended back then, but somehow it continued.” (page 289)
[…] The implication is that three thousand years ago, following the abuse of the Ark Stone and subsequent invocation of divine intervention, divine overseers implemented quarantine. This quarantine functioned like Safe Mode when a computer is infected with a virus. It separated us from the greater flow of time in Creation, putting us on a temporary/alternate timeline, more of an experimental sandbox than the real thing. Under the quarantine, alien enemies were disallowed from warring openly, thus their conflicts went covert, like enemies sitting down to a game of chess to settle their difference. The game was on. It was supposed to have concluded a thousand years later with the manifestation of Christ and the triumph of a genuine spiritual movement. But dark powers had grown too strong by that point and the game could not end, thus it went into overtime and things got even worse. So now the stakes are increased, and instead of Rome/Pharisees versus true Christians, it’s planetary alien takeover versus the awakening Christ-like consciousness in suitable individuals. This is all speculation, but it follows logically from the sources discussed above.” (page 291)
The concept of a corrupt Demiurge projecting a reality that operates in a way that we rudimentarily understand as a virtual reality game, as well as a redeeming Christ figure being inserted into the “game” to correct a massive imbalance, and our reality being in limbo ever since that exact point, quarantined off onto a lateral timeline aligns with the concepts discussed throughout this write up. (Montalk expands on all these concepts in much greater, and fascinating depth in chapter 9 of the book, so I highly recommend checking it out.)
But that is exactly why nothing has changed in ~2,000 years, the biggest indicator/proof being astrology. We’re literally at a standstill. The sky and its celestial bodies that we see overhead continue to move in their programmed patterns, reflecting what things “should” be. But we’ve deviated off to the side, so to speak, still operating under the same energies that were in effect at the time of the quarantine deviation ….whichever way those energy projections actually work in terms of being able to imprint us.
With regards to numerological Life Paths however the same logic doesn’t follow, interestingly enough. With astrology, the sky keeps moving forward so to speak, but we don’t. We’re still maintaining the energy stamping from 2,000 years ago. With numerology the calendar dates have continually changed, yet, the numerologies DO change with it. It’s not a situation of “Oh, I technically should be a Life Path 7 since that’s what my birthday now adds up to after all the calendar changes, but I’m clearly manifesting 3 energy, which is what it would have been before all the changes.”
There’s several possibilities to account for the differences, but the main one would be that the source of these two distinct energy imprints are not the same. One relies on a Man-made calendar system. So it doesn’t matter whether the calendar gets changed or not. The imprints – whatever their source – roll with the changes. The other is made to appear to align to massive celestial happenings “OUT THERE.” And we’ll be delving back into the latter concept a little bit more in a short bit.
Reasons and Agendas for Astrological/Numerological Imprinting
Getting past all the humorous, cheeky and politically incorrect aspects of my various astrological personality descriptions, there are some intriguing issues with big implications being brought up in this piece, which is why I’ve gone through the trouble of compiling it. The number one issue being, this world isn’t what we think it is. And it’s not functioning AT all as we’ve been taught. And it’s about time we started to wake up to this. One of the biggest aspects of it is that it’s functioning as some sort of controlled terrarium. But mixed up with a lot of glitchy fakeness, due to the fact it’s not truly “REAL” in the way we’ve been taught, and is ultimately being projected by something so advanced we can’t wrap our heads around how it works. And in order for this terrarium to function optimally it apparently requires its inhabitants to be more easily controlled and predictable. Something that personality imprinting could definitely facilitate. Because theoretically speaking, I imagine it’s much easier to manage a herd when you’ve got the herd routed into set patterns.
There are several aspects to this “convenient control mechanism.” The first being, if you need people who will be good at this and that, then you know exactly who to hone in on, based on what “template stamp” they were given. Whether it’s a natural born strong and take charge/stand up, decisive leader, a sensitive psychic empath or healer, a warrior fighter, some anally retentive, organized details person, a naturally dramatic and extroverted performer clown, a steadfast, reliable worker, the crafty, devious criminal villain mastermind (‘cause every good story has to have a villain… O.o ) and other variations of it, like the power-mad, egomaniacal tyrant leader/military invader, etc. It’s easy to know where to narrow down your search so long as everybody’s been stamped with astrological and numerological templates. Mix and match the various energies/template stamps that we label Eastern, Western and numerological (and maybe even additional patterns we haven’t yet discovered) to create whatever fine tuned combination you want.
But it’s more than just trying to create a “variety of characters.” Because it would make it easier to control people in general for ANY agenda, bad or good, if you know what psychological and physiological traits they’ve been shaped/molded with. For starters people are now predictable. Which means you’ll know what their strengths and weaknesses are, because the various personality stamps have their own motivations. So if the program/projection wants to send in a Matrix puppet vector/“Agent Smith” for instance to manipulate somebody in any kind of way….it’ll know exactly what approach to hone in on, and what has the best odds of working for that personality profile. Doesn’t mean a person will always fall for it. Because many of us are not just one dimensional cardboard cutout victims of astrology that can be reduced solely down to these influences. Many here have higher spirit that can override things, and many have awareness to be on the lookout for this sort of thing, thus exercising their freewill and sidestepping it. But, you know that “neg stuff” will still certainly give it a go, based on what should ideally work for that personality imprint.
An interesting quote from the aforementioned Montalk article, “Food for the Moon” has this relevant idea (bolded words my own emphasis):
“According to Ouspensky, the moon acts as a giant electromagnet pulling upon all organic life on earth and sucking into itself the soul essence of dying creatures. The moon is an embryonic planet receiving its nutrition from organic life on earth through an etheric umbilical cord, an energy conduit between earth and moon.
“In man, the moon drives his mechanical aspects like a pendulum moving the gears of a clock. The degree to which one’s actions are driven by the moon is proportional to one’s level of reactivity and non-being. For people incapable of moving themselves through life by nobler spiritual impulses, the moon provides a propulsive force. Without this force, mechanical individuals would be passive as puppets without a puppeteer.”
Maybe the same concept applies to astrology and numerology as well. It’s an interesting question…. who we would be without these external forces shaping and imprinting us? Maybe these astrological and numerological forces give us something to work with here that we wouldn’t otherwise have. It’s hard to know, since we’ve never lived in a world where these forces weren’t exerting themselves onto us. We have no comparison. Most of us are compelled to be what we are because of these external forces stamping us. In most ways not having a choice in the matter, unless we can mindfully override things through self awareness and spiritual strength.
There were examples along the way in my research where all the aspects of somebody’s personality and life path/career/incarnational mission destiny, etc. were an exact textbook/cliche of their Eastern, Western AND numerological combined, to the point where it really is like a perfectly coordinated computer program. Everything about what these people do and say in life was just straight up their numerology and astrology, and it makes one wonder…. do we even have freewill??? O.o A case of, “They literally couldn’t been been anything other than what they are.”
That leads to trying to find the positive aspect of this imprinting and control mechanism – to help us with our incarnational mission. “I want to be this or that, and experience these various things, and accomplish whatever-whatever, so I’ll need to be born at one of these particular points which would provide astrological and numerological configurations that are in line with those objectives.” These external forces/stamping/imprints can provide that, with personality traits, strengths, weaknesses and talents.
That’s where controlling the time of birth comes into play, something that has been reported in various hypnotic regressions where people relive their in-between life states and describe the type of planning that goes into things. And it’s something I mentioned at the beginning, where I’ve noticed the way in which various people’s configurations are in perfect alignment you could say to facilitate them doing whatever it is they wound up doing. Where everything is complimentary…..and which can include the aggressive, combative and all around “negative” traits as well, not just the positive and pleasant fuzzy bunny. And where it can align so perfectly sometimes, in both types of cases, that it can’t be random chance in my opinion. It seems obvious by design. The so-called negative, stubborn, aggressive and even combative aspects of my own configuration helped me to fight through a bazillion obstacles in life to get where I currently am. It definitely was not without help from crucial people along the way, without whom I would have gone under. But I had to do the heavy lifting. I had to have that fight, strong ego and stubborn determination in me. And those so-called “negative” traits provided that.
Although sure, there’s always that possibility that there’s zero incarnational planning going on here, everything is just random chance and total chaos in terms of when our flight arrives at the airport, and nobody has a choice but to become whatever their alignments are propelling them to become.
For starters though it would be a little odd to admit in the one breath that there even are astrological energies and alignments at work (this write up has proven that there are IMO)…..only to say in the next that no soul is ever purposely orchestrating and utilizing them when incarnating here. A bit contradictory. So that’s why I lean towards the “planned, not accidental” theory for many people. Not only because the alignments are often times so complimentary to each other, but also because I really do believe it takes more than just alignments to propel people to where they end up in life. There needs to be a higher spirit. And the various people I’ve studied with those fortuitous alignments seemed to have that. It really is like they are “on a mission” and have an assigned role in this reality, which they’re driven to do sometimes since childhood. And if that’s the case then why wouldn’t they plan things out? It’s logical – and even necessary – to do so. Higher spirit imbued with pre-incarnational life goals + perfect alignments = very interesting results indeed. More equations. ;)
There is even the “so-called negative, but planned at the higher level” version of this, where we may give ourselves certain alignments as a test or challenge for ourselves. Something to overcome and transcend. Get the tools that we need to do what we do, meanwhile with some wild cards thrown in for kicks. “If you can override the Scorpio energy stamp you can do anything in this universe! You won the Matrix!!” O.o
So the reasons for this astrological and numerological stamping are not all negative…..though a lot of it is. Being realistic, if it wasn’t then there wouldn’t have been a need for the redeeming Christ figure inserted into this program in the first place. This place does not have inherently good intentions it seems, because at the bare minimum it IS a Freewill Free-For-All Zone, being run by something that is akin to A.I., for lack of a better way of putting it. Which therefore allows for the highest evil to exist here, doing the absolute worst things imaginable. Though positive souls are still managing to get what they can out of the deal, while trying to get through it unscathed. It’s a battle, no doubt.
Artificial matrix personality influencing therefore provides both a way for us to exist in this place to get what we desire out of it all, giving ourselves the tools we’ll need to accomplish our goals. As well as a way for higher neg stuff to predict, manipulate and ultimately control us, based on those same motivations, strengths and weaknesses. It’s something I’ve come to figure out in my research: every negative aspect of this place does seem to have a positive. And vice versa.
Humans are smart enough to eventually figure things out (I’m assuming….though maybe we weren’t, and higher “stuff” had to let certain humans in on the secret, via participation in mystery schools and secret societies….) But that’s where creating false narratives/background stories for what creates these personality stamps could come into play. “Constellations!” for instance. Nevermind that the constellations don’t even look like the images they’re supposed to represent in most instances, let alone how the entire concept in itself makes absolutely no sense. And when most of the population doesn’t believe in the subject anyway, nor researches it in a serious way, exactly because of that cockamamie explanation, then it helps make it possible to do this right under our noses.
The other possibility I thought of when pondering on all of this is that whatever this artificial personality stamping mechanism is, however it actually works and wherever it is actually originating from, “something” did purposely align it with the one thing that can be viewed from all over Earth – the sky. So the planets and the arbitrary constellations don’t in themselves actually do anything in the way of “enhancing people’s communication ability” “instigating people’s drive/motivation” “making people want to shove food in the piehole all day long” “activating psychic abilities” “making people feel like they want to go around punching everybody right in the face” etc. and whatnot. ;) But maybe one of the major aspects of the complex stamping mechanisms we’re subjected to in this realm – astrology – was purposely aligned with celestial bodies to make it easy to see/recognize, and thus “track.” Make what would otherwise be a complex, but invisible “machine” visible.
But meanwhile as mentioned earlier in the quotes from Tom/Montalk…..the reality construct we all exist in has been in some limbo quarantine for the past 2,000 years. So the constellations above keep slowly shifting as they do….but the energy stamp mechanism of this complex, but invisible machine stays the same….getting more and more out of alignment as the centuries progress and massively obvious to anybody who’s observant.
If I hadn’t seen validity for the idea of a planet or star seeming to affect anything on Earth, however it actually works, then I wouldn’t even consider all of this, but obviously I have, based on this mini book. It’s complicated, it’s messy, and it opens cans of worms that make absolutely no sense. It’s why believers often don’t look too deeply and tend to just take it at simplistic, surface level face value, treating it all as cutesy fuzzy bunny. And it’s why skeptics just dismiss it without any thought or research. Life is just easier that way, trust me. O.o Otherwise you wind up with write ups like this.
Then again countless things are being done right under our noses every day and the average person isn’t seeing or questioning any of it, acting like one of the robots in “Westworld” who literally can’t perceive any references to the real/outside world. “It doesn’t look like anything to me….” < shrug > as Dolores the robot said in season 1, when faced with looking at a photograph that depicted the outside world. There’s multiple reasons for why the average person isn’t seeing or hearing all the things happening right under their noses, reasons involving various forms of programming, mind control and brainwashing from a lifetime of media and school/university, and the purposeful dumbing down of intellect that’s increased over the past hundred years or so, but especially over the past 50, via chemicals, so-called “vaccines,” pharmaceuticals, electronic frequency waves that bathe our world, and so on. And that’s not even getting into bigger things that have been done to humans as a whole, evolutionarily, over the eons, to ensure that most people are cut off from being able to connect and communicate with the positive stuff that exists “outside” this place, and to utilize their sixth sense on a regular basis. And conversely there’s reasons why many are able to perceive it, namely due to sidestepping these various pitfalls and traps, and/or being part of a genetic line that has a better predisposition for it.
This reality does offer a semblance of freewill, after all, allowing for that sidestepping….if one chooses.
Conclusion
The bottom line is, we may all be stamped with particular templates, but for those who are real and do have that higher soul spark it enables us to manifest our own unique and higher selves, despite this place…..whatever it is. And there’s no denying that there are sinister aspects here, designed to control and manage, for something else’s best interests. But if you’re souled/spirited, and exercising freewill, then you can transcend the negative aspects of any configuration, Eastern or Western, Numerological or what have you. We’re not helpless victims completely at the mercy of stuff, unable to push back against “templates.” Though admittedly, yes, many actually are, if they’re weak spiritually and consciously. Those are the ones that will just default to their imprinting, no questions asked.
The visual that came to my mind is a person punching through a false ceiling that has been placed over them, trying to pen them in. Each sign does have its good traits, absolutely, alongside the bad. The goal should be to recognize which ones are which ones, and remove those that don’t serve us or the people around us in a constructive, positive way. There’s nothing we can do about being stamped energetically and personality-wise in this “Matrix” reality, whatever it ultimately is. It’s outside of our control. But we CAN recognize that it’s been done, have that awareness…. and then transcend the negative, while maximizing the positive. And as trite as that may sound, it’s true. And it’s all anybody can do.
