Togi remarks on Teenager Shoes:

“My Aries step dad wears bowties and bells on his sneakers so they jingle when he walks. So embarassing. What is that all about? Notice me, notice me!”

Togi, yeah it’s “notice me” but I have a different slant on this. Leo is here to entertain.  Even if you do nothing but laugh at me, you are still ENTERTAINED and since I have Venus in Leo, I think entertainment is freakishly important.

When I dated a painter, I dressed all the time. I always looked as if I just stepped out of a painting and also thought this was important as I was an addition to the landscape. Must we all dress down, the same, similar? I don’t think so because if it were, Venus when it got to Leo would just skip over. Same with Aquarius!

In regards to your step dad, yeah it’s embarassing but no more so than tattooing messages all over your body or getting humongous fake breasts put on your chest.  I think you just don’t like the guy!

Loonsounds on Dining With Taurus:

“I am Taurus Sun, Leo Moon…vanity will not allow a lot of weight gain…”

Well, sure as long a you’re not lucky.

I have Venus in Leo and have a vain streak a mile wide however I have managed to gain 50 pounds to many not once but twice. I chock this up to the other blog today… Jupiter in the first house which does tend to expand a person.

I guess I would say that Jupiter is going to override vanity because you just feel so damned good about yourself.. you are so inflated, who cares if you’re fat!

Bottom line, I don’t think anything keeps Jupiter down for long outside of more Jupiter - that is sport! If I did not exercise, forget about it. I am going to grow and grow and still have a vanity streak a mile wide.
