In the Race
Now, here, you see, it takes all the blogging I can do to keep in the same place. If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that! You see, I'm in the Red Queen's Race...
What's your sign?

With my friend Kevin Fischer announcing it was my exciting day yesterday (thanks, Kevin!), I thought I would ponder the question....
Do people still ask, "What's your sign?"
You know, like a guy in a bar using it as a conversation ice breaker?
Are there those of you out there who look at your horoscope everyday?
Do some of you really live by those words?
When I was a teenager, which according to Kevin wasn't that long ago (thanks again, Kevin, I'm flattered) I did have an interest in that kind of thing. I even went so far as to learn how to map out a horoscope (took a class). Just a fun thing to at the time. I can't remember how to do it now.
I'm an Aquarius...the Water bearer:
Aquarians basically possess strong and attractive personalities. They fall into two principle types: one shy, sensitive, gentle and patient; the other exuberant, lively and exhibitionist, sometimes hiding the considerable depths of their character under a cloak of frivolity. Both types are strong willed and forceful in their different ways and have strong convictions, though as they seek truth above all things, they are usually honest enough to change their opinions, however firmly held, if evidence comes to light which persuades them that they have been mistaken. They have a breadth of vision that brings diverse factors into a whole, and can see both sides of an argument without shilly-shallying as to which side to take. Consequently they are unprejudiced and tolerant of other points of view. This is because they can see the validity of the argument, even if they do not accept it themselves. They are prepared to learn from everyone.
Both types are humane, frank, serious minded, genial, refined, sometimes ethereal, and idealistic, though this last quality is tempered with a sensible practicality. They are quick, active and persevering without being self-assertive, and express themselves with reason, moderation and sometimes, a dry humor.They are nearly always intelligent, concise, clear and logical. Many are strongly imaginative and psychically intuitive. When some cause or work of philanthropy inspires them, they are capable of such devotion to it that they may drive themselves to the point of exhaustion and even risk injuring their health.They need to retire from the world at times and to become temporary loners. Even in company they are fiercely independent, refusing to follow the crowd. They dislike interference by others, however helpfully intended, and will accept it only on their own terms. In spite of the often intensely magnetic, forthcoming and open personality of the more extrovert kind of Aquarian, and of their desire to help humanity, neither type makes friends easily. They do not give themselves easily - perhaps their judgment of human nature is too good for that - and are sometimes accounted cold. But once they decide that someone is worthy of their friendship or love, they can exert an almost hypnotic and irresistible mental attraction on them and will themselves become tenacious friends or lovers.
Aquarians work best in group projects, provided that they are recognized as having a leading part in them.
Okay…I can live with that.
I think most of it rings true.
How about yours?

I always wondered what it would be like to put a room full of one "sign" together.
Have they ever tried that at an Astrology convention?
Separate "sun signs" in each conference room for Be Heard! sessions.
This room is all Taurus ..... a whole room full of stubborn people.
That would have to make for interesting conversation.
