After helping a friend of mine move this evening, we went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant and chit chatted about this and that.

I found that our conversation kept returning to that of our astrological signs. We were 2 Geminis, 1 Capricorn and 1 Aries ~ and it was SO interesting because we all certainly were being just exactly what might be expected of each sign.

I love talking about astrological signs and contemplating what kind of real significance any of it has. I think it has a lot of significance. My dad, however, doesn’t think much of it at all.

If there is no significance, then why are Cancer men all so similar? And why does it seem that many Capricorn women are a little sneaky? And that I love Libras of either sex and that I really like Saggittarius men (although I’ve never dated one).

It can’t simply be coincidental.

I think my astrological chart is so telling…

I’m a Gemini:

You have a quick, bright and agile mind, but an extremely short attention span. You love the external, kaleidoscopic aspects of life, but you tend to avoid (and even fear) deep, close emotional involvements. As such, you seem to enjoy travel and sightseeing and generally being “on-the-go.” You get quite listless when things around you become static and dull, but your excitement returns whenever you are stimulated by a new idea. Chatty, inquisitive and quite playful, you enjoy practical jokes and games in general. Your moods change quickly and often — you are very restless and constantly in motion. You are known for your versatility and adaptability. Your vivaciousness enlivens any social gathering.

with Virgo moon:

You tend to be serious-minded but cheerful for the most part. You need tasks that engage both your mind and your hands. A careful worker, you enjoy making things. You are neat and orderly, and are very concerned with good health habits. Fastidious to the extreme, you cannot tolerate messes and will immediately clean them up. Reserved, shy, and very self-critical, you tend to be very hard on yourself. You usually will go out of your way to be helpful and useful to others. Practical, reliable, efficient and conservative, at times you are a bit of a prude. You are known to lead a simple, uncomplicated, frugal, methodical and unemotional lifestyle. You are devoted and caring to those you love.

and my Rising sign is in Taurus:

Calm and deliberate, you hate to move quickly or act hastily. Very practical, every effort must count or you can’t be bothered. Patient, persistent and steady, but very stubborn — you can’t be pushed or pressured into anything. You seem outwardly self-assured because you tend to repress your inner tension and turmoil. You exude an earthy warmth, friendliness and charm. You demand comfortable surroundings and appreciate the good life. Be careful of a tendency to be overly self-indulgent. At times, you are lazy and difficult to motivate. Overcoming inertia is a problem for you and, because you are not by nature a self-starter, it is often necessary for you to receive stimuli from others in order to get moving.

And if you know anything about me at all, you’d know that this really hits close to my nature…wouldn’t you say?
