Onto Writing Something Every Day (like the film, Adaptation?)

To reclaim or reject, and the abundant opportunities for trying again: Linda Goodman's Love Signs: A New Approach to the Human Heart.

Sun: Sagittarius; Ascendant: Scorpio; Moon: Cancer. How appealing to find one's personal portrait written there, in this manifest uncertainty of living while thinking. When the conversation crawls away, and just before each recoils onto the hereto unrealized dream the other person mysteriously assumes a role in fulfilling, there is astrology, and links such as these. File under really surprising magazine articles, last semester's multiple choices...the things that lead us to false conclusions?

"The first thing she learned after she shocked herself by loving him, was that she didn't make a mistake in forgetting all about caution when they met. Because this man possesses enough of the stuff to supply, not just her when she runs low on it, but the entire British Commonwealth. An endless source. She'd be happier, she discovers after a while, if he'd forget about some of his own caution--but not all of it. She kind of likes the way his caution keeps her steered in the right direction when she's sometimes tempted to be overly reckless (it's nice to be saved from yourself by someone who really cares about you) but a little of his caution goes a long way with the girl Archer. Too much of it can cause her to feel closed-in, smothered, therefore--restless. It's never a good idea to make the Horse end of a Centaur restless" (452).

"But not all casual observers are astrologers. If they were, they'd take care not to underestimate Scorpio's subtle, long-range strategies, the power gained by keeping motives hidden, the effectiveness of a surprise attack when it's least expected" (515).

"Likewise, Scorpios are so gifted with the subtle talent of of appearing to give in without actually giving an inch that it may be a while until Leo recognizes the situation as another Waterloo" (517).

"She's usually unaware of the cool poise and inner wisdom she projects to others with just a deep, deep look. Most recipients of her gaze simply cringe and look away immediately, to avoid--they're not quite sure just what--they're only positive they want to avoid it. Not so the brave, stalwart Lion. Her gaze fascinates him. Sometimes he feels he's drowning in the cool, placid waters of her eyes, sometimes he feels he's learning mystical secrets by an unspoken transfer of knowledge. At other times he feels dangerously close to being swept into the storm of churning, lashing waves behind her Scorpio stare, and to a Leo that's not spooky or Halloween-scary--it's downright exciting.

Being a Water Sign herself, no matter how much she may desire otherwise, the warmth she feels translates itself into some degree of detached coolness, even with those she loves the most" (521).
