From 2008. Clumping people by sun sign, denial and projection!

I was talking to satori about the Mechanic who does the tech stuff on this site.  “I thanked him,” she said. “I thanked him for the boards.”

“Yeah, he built them. He also built the entire, Astro Dispatch and that was no easy feat!  That thing in incredible and he doesn’t even know any astrology. Can you imagine?  400 astrologers benefit from that thing, at least and they don’t even know his name.  All this work and it’s thankless.  Want my advice?  Whatever you do, don’t be a Virgo.  You know. If you are ever being born and someone says, wanna be a Virgo?  Say no.”

What sign would you advise against being?

I am working with a Pisces who has to defend herself. I want her to understand that if she offers a hard edge it will empower her opponent. Pulling this up for her benefit but other people can apply.

It’s just very hard to fight a hologram, see? Hard to fight something that does not have form. A “virus” comes to mind. They still can’t do a damned thing with the common cold can they?

Last night the soldier and I were talking about astrology and t-shirts…

“It doesn’t work that way,” I said. “People who try to market using astrology do not understand astrology. They make a uniform number t-shirts, the same number of each sign and they are never going to sell them. They fail to understand that no Capricorn is going to walk around with Capricorn on their shirt. Really, there are only about 3 signs you can sell merchandise to, I’d say. In any quantity anyway. So pretty much anyone who tries to do this winds up losing their ass.”

“Well I wouldn’t wear my sign,” he said. “I’m not going to walk around with a bull on my shirt.”

I laughed because he walks around with a rhino on his shirt most days… it’s his favorite. “No, I guess not,” I said.

“But I would wear a scorpion. I like a scorpion as a symbol,” he said.

“And you could get away with that because you have a Scorpio Moon. Or you can wear whatever the hell you want but you see the problem here. People by and large are not going to wear their sign on their chest so marketer after marketer fail with their zodiac lines because they don’t understand this. I am quite sure it will always be this way.”

Would you wear a T-shirt that broadcast your sign? Why or why not?

Is your lover really gone for good?

Dumped by an Aries You find yourself alone, standing amidst blowing dust and flecks, strips of black tire tracks, heavy gasoline fumes, and very little else. Slowly, slowly, the sound of the roaring engine recedes, thundering silence taking its place.

Dumped by Taurus You offer extravagant food, they say they’ve lost their appetite and when you turn away from them in bed, they just turn away from you in the opposite direction (instead of poking you with their horns). Taurus: Either they’re all over you, or they’re gone.

About a week ago, Vidroid started digging a hole in the backyard alongside the soldier working on his giant sawhorses. Later the soldier told me that Vid said he was digging to the center of the earth.

“Yeah?” I said. “I had the same ambition when I was a kid.  Confidence and delusion, it runs in the family.”

He just stared and then 3 days later, Vid’s friend was over and they were digging some more. Keep in mind my grandfather dug a hole in his yard big enough to make an underground house… with a shovel! The soldier reported in:

“They made plans,’ he said. “They have a list of things they’re going to take.”

I recently experienced a very hard time terminating a relationship. I kept thinking that I terminated it, but no…he’s baaaaak. Then, after a day, I find myself thinking, “What on earth is this person doing in my house, and, really, where was my head when I let him walk in the door yet again?”

I thought I could use some help in this breaking up thing, and maybe you can too, so I have broken it down by sign on the DC in order to throw out some ideas for clearing out the riff-raff. Here they are:

A reader asks:

“Any suggestions on Valentine’s Day gifts for various signs?”

Though it is fine to shop by Sun sign, personally I shop for Venus in a person’s chart because this shows what appeals to them. For example, with Venus in Leo I am not interested in candy. Come get me in a chariot if you don’t mind, which in my case means a motorcycle or a TRUCK. I don’t like traveling in normal vehicles unless undercover. ;-0

What sign are you, where is your Venus and what would you like most for Valentine’s Day?
