Astrology

My mom has always been really into astrology.  I remember her reading my horoscope aloud to me from the tv guide when I was little.  Most of the women in my family pay attention to horoscopes.  I can, in fact, tell you the sun sign of nearly every member of my family. 

It's no surprise then that my best friend, Sam, who has a blog you should visit, is also into astrology.  I am sitting at her house right now (she's at work) reading her numerous astrology books and giggling hysterically because most of what these books has to say about me seems to be true.

I'm an Aries (if you want to get all technical about it then I was actually born on the Pisces-Aries cusp--but most astrology books etc. don't get into the cusps....but I do have one at home that does and it's pretty amazing). 

If you google 'Aries keywords' here are some of the words you get:
  • Independent
  • Impulsive
  • Impatient
  • Courageous
  • Generous
  • Short tempered
  • Moody
  • Assertive
  • Leader
  • Energetic
  • Competitive
  • Self-Involved
Now all of those words or phrase are not glowing compliments.  I could have omitted them, but I didn't.  I am impatient and short tempered and competitive, and yes, I can be self-involved.  I admit it.  For the most part these are pretty right on.

Now let's look at some of the lengthier descriptions:

"People with Sun in Aries are direct, straightforward, and uncomplicated.  They expect the same from others, and are baffled when they don't always get it." -- Cafe Astrology

"Calling [Aries woman] a 'man's woman' is a gross understatement, as she is far more like-minded and at ease with the opposite sex than with her own.  She goes where men go, she does what men do--no double standard, no questions asked." Sextrology by Starsky and Cox

"She doesn't plan to fall in love--in fact, she often tries her hardest to avoid doing so." Sextrology

"When a Ram is angry, the whole neighborhood knows." Love on a Rotten Day by Hazel Dixon-Cooper

"This sign doesn't do 'we'll always be friends.' Aries feels if you are stupid enough to let them get away, you are too stupid to hang around with." Love on a Rotten Day

"Aries are kings and queens of the five-minute *&@#.  ....The good part is Rams also recover in about five minutes, so you are in for multiple sessions of hot, albeit quick sex. ...Aries is all about action."  Love on a Rotten Day

"[Aries] jump[s] at the opportunity to try anything fresh and interesting." Choose Your Lover Carefully by Cass and Janie Jackson

"Your greatest objective in life is to win." Choose Your Lover Carefully

I'm not going to comment on the above statements--make what you want to out of them ;)  I think my favorite description of Aries woman went something like this "Aries woman is smoking hot in elegant evening attire, but she looks just as great in her signature tee and jeans."  Okay, so I'm paraphrasing because I can't remember where I read it but it said something like that and I do tend to live in jeans and tees. 

I like astrology.  I think some of it is truer than most of us would like to admit.  What's your sign?
