Lies

Horoscope readings hit me hot and cold, and I believe in magic.  Sometimes, I read something and I can make it fit and it is powerful. Other times the fit isn’t something I am ready to feel or it just lands stilted somehow.  It seems that I am much more likely to believe one stereotype about certain signs and then know nothing else.  I also seem to deeply connect with readings of people I know, love, work with, loathe… But reading my own often leave me feeling defensive or feeling seen in a way that often makes me defensive – like dog chasing his own tail.

So – let’s diver deeper here.  I know that I attract Scorpios, but only if they choose to like me. When they choose to not like me there isn’t anything I can do about their choices.  Sagittarius folks tend to be very intriguing and dangerous for me so my “safety first” self reminds me to keep my boundaries with this sign and I find myself watching “them” in awe of their messy casserole style.  Capricorns, evidently are the only sign that Virgos can trust on many levels and I do find myself surrounded by these ladder climbing, persistent, stubborn, work-acholic goats.  Cancers all become my first girlfriend in my mind, emotional homebodies surrounded by plants.

It is so easy to know a few details about a few signs and forget that this isn’t a science I believe in, yet when I meet one of these signs, I seem to already know what to do (or not do) to feel safe and prepared.  If someone is a sign I don’t know anything about then horoscope patterns seem dumb and limiting.  Until I need a decoder ring so I google and like a heat seeking missile, dismiss all findings until my opinion is validated.

People often tell me about being a Virgo.  I hear things like – great legs and big bellies, knit picky and judgmental, detail oriented, fastidious, neat freaks.  Depending on my mood depends on how much I want to believe these things about me or not.  I do spontaneity by the way, I just plan ahead when those fly by the seat of my pants moments can exist and how lng they can last

I challenge you to think about the stereotypes that you operate with and the tools you use to know when to question the limitations of putting yourself or someone in a box as well as the feeling of being safe and prepared to begin to engage with another person.

All are needed all of the time.  Feeling safe and prepared are important to all people, not just Virgos!  And recognizing the patterns you need to feel safe and prepared are your responsibility because you may not be accurate.
