[Miscellany]

Well, we all know just how accurate horoscopes are, don't we? I don't read mine everyday but I *do* read them sometimes (for the whole staff at morning tea - yeah, we're sad like that) and let me tell you, I take great joy (if not amusement) in reading them. I am a psych major and I fucking love personality assessments! LOVE THEM! I know horoscopes aren't exactly psychological assessments (more celestial ones..err, not quite sure how it all goes together) but they read like 'em eh? I don't always agree, of course - but bang on for trying. So, as you know I am on holidays and while some may say I did fuck all today others (clinically insane people) may argue that I was assessing my personality through thorough research and statistical analysis. In otherwords I googled "Aries" about 50 billion times and came up with a little bit o crap about me. Here it is - I even bolded the bits I REALLY agree with and added my own comments in a purpley colour. You should do the same (if you know what's good for you). Gowarrnnn it's fun!

The spring equinox, March 21, is the beginning of the new zodiacal year and Aries, the first sign, is therefore that of new beginnings. The young ram is adventurous, ambitious, impulsive, enthusiastic and full of energy that really depends on whether I'm 'up for it' or not - if not, you can forget it. The Arian is a pioneer both in thought and action, very open to new ideas and a lover of freedom. They welcome challenges and will not be diverted from their purpose except by their own impatience, which will surface if they don't get quick results.Tell me about it!

Aries subjects are courageous leaders with a genuine concern for those they command, being responsible people, it is rare that they will use their subordinates to obtain their own objectives as leaders, but occasionally it does happen. They do not make very good followers because they are too "take charge" it's not so much that, more that I don't really trust anyone else to do the job, sorry. They may be unwilling to obey or submit to directions for which they can see no reason, or with which they disagree lol, uh yeah. Am actually quite happy to submit in certain situations but only to a worthy party whom has proven that they are the king of the castle. They are much concerned with self, both positively and negatively - self-reliant but also self centered (sometimes) and concerned with their own personal advancement and physical satisfaction. Their immense energy makes them aggressive and restless Okay, caught. Sometimes I will poke and prod in order to pick physical fights with people - not seriously aggressive but I do like a bit of tussle. I tend to do it more if I'm bored or restless. Worse luck for you., argumentative occasionally I do tend to pick fights, just to see what will happen. I love people who will engage with me in this manner, headstrong, quick tempered, easily offended and capable of holding grudges if they feel themselves affronted. I actually do not hold grudges for much longer than a tea break - though I don't forget things too easily. Having said that I never let my judgement of certain actions stop me from being empathetic or 'liking' someone. I am seriously one of those people that you can tell *absolutely anything* to and I will understand where you're coming from - even if I don't totally agree with what you're saying.

As the first sign in the zodiac, you, as an Arian (as you are referred to), is to simply "get something started finishing up is a whooooooooole other issue though. Very bad at that part... and lead the way". The Sun in this zodiac position gives your will free rein to express itself. You could be doing this in the form of some leadership role, or by forcing others to look at themselves in a new way. You can accomplish this by knowingly carrying out a deliberate act in the name of some cause that moves you. A negative effect of this sun sign is that you could sometimes unknowingly make it hard for others to relate to you, as you really are.Sometimes am misunderstood - I do always mean well, I promise!

In your personal relationships Arians are frank, direct and candid, and make enthusiastic and generous friends. You are liable to have a high sex drive and make passionate but fastidious lovers. err..is it getting hot in here? There is, however, a negative side to your associations with other people. You can easily be irritated by slowness or moderation in your companions and, though yourselves sensitive, ride roughshod over the sensitivities of others. Okay, am guilty of all this. It's just that I hate those slow methodical people. You know that scene in "When Harry Met Sally" when Sally is looking at each letter before she puts it in the post box to make sure the address is on right? Well, in that scene I am Harry who grabs all the letters in frustration and just shoves them all in at once. T-t-t-today junior! The intensity of your sexual urges can drive you to promiscuity and a Don Juan-like counting of conquests of the opposite sex. No, I abhor seeing people as conquests actually. It can also trick you into early unwise marriage which may end disastrously. I hope not. I *am* pretty impulsive. Arians are highly devoted to their children, even to the point of laying down their own lives, so that they might live. You will not find a more defensive and loving parent in all the zodiac. I thought leo would be the most defensive parent, considering the whole protective lion thing? But anyway, I am not a parent but I know this to be true already. In fact I've already thought of the scenario (as ridiculous as that sounds). Would definitely offer own (rather pathetic) life in exchange for the lives of those I love - that's highly true.

It is preferable to be aware of your pioneering spirit and not disregard it. For in acknowledging it you not only enjoy life more, but you avoid being pushed around by others. Your nature is usually push or be pushed, with little middle ground. Absolutely true. If I'm not leading the way I'm waiting for someone to give me a kick up the arse. I welcome the people who do. I need strong people in my life who offer challenges. Having said that expect a fight on your hands before I relent. This can at times be objectionable to others, but you must have the freedom to act, rather then just thinking about it, getting pent-up in the process. At all costs you need to avoid negative emotions such as resentment, regret and self-pity, for they would deny you what is essential to your nature: straightforwardness.

Mentally Arians are intellectual and objective I'm actually very good at being objective - even though I do rant on a bit. Sometimes what I say and what I think come from different places., but can be in rare situations bigoted and extremist in religion and politics. Extremist is the wrong word, but I can be a bit fanatical when it comes to some forms of politics and if you don't agree with me I'll blow you up. err. They are good champions of lost causes and last-ditch resistance. They are quick-witted but sometimes foolhardy and over optimistic, lacking thoroughness and the ability to evaluate difficulties in the undertakings into which they often rush impulsively. The great need of Aries natives is to exercise an iron self-control, to discipline the qualities and tendencies of their character to the advantage, not the detriment, of the society in which they move. What the hell? Well, I haven't had a cup of coffee in over a month but I went straight back to chocolate like an alcoholic to scotch.

As an Arian, you like a challenge that will stir you to action. This challenge may just be frustration; or at a more controlled level, you may have clear direction and know what or whom you're fighting for. If your direction is not clear, then ask yourself and listen to your inner voice. You will come up with an answer. An Arian without a direction in which to go, or a without a cause to fight for, would be against your nature and make you more a "sheep" then a ram!

Arian, do not be afraid to be forceful, for this is the very core of your nature. If you feel fear in your heart, then look for a history of negative events in you personal history, such as violence or abuse from others. Being fearful may also indicate a household in childhood that negated independence and personal initiative in you. okay, this is getting quite scary now. This could have inhibited your natural urge to go forward into life as the leader and champion you were born to be. Conversely, such bad influences could also have led you to be overly forceful, or to be unsympathetic to your own need and sensitivity.

You make good athletes and climbers, doctors, explorers (of new ideas as well as uncharted territory, the latter in these days including adventuring into outer space), soldiers, sailors and airmen, and leaders, though awkward subordinates, in industry and politics. What? No teacher? I would be utterly crap at holding a gun - am scared shitless of them. Though would love to fire a cannon. Do they still use cannons in wars? I'll have to go fight for a 3rd world country that is still using cannons me thinks. Ones that have a wick I can light and then put my fingers in my ears while it goes *boom*

Much as you are the Ram, there is still the little lamb in you am all talk, which means that at times you would attain your goals more easily by gently giving in without resistance to the demands of a given social situation, rather than getting your horns entangled in something larger and more powerful than yourself. Now you tell me! This is a talent akin to knowing the difference between what you can change, and what you cannot. This of course takes patience, the acquiring of which is definitely your greatest achievement, along with your sense of your own inner softness.
Possible Health Concerns...

Aries governs the head and brain, and Arians are said to be prone to headaches, particularly migraines how often to I complain about headaches?! , sunstroke, neuralgia and depression. Indigestion and nervous disorders are also threats to you, and your rashness, impetuosity and wholesale physical commitment make you liable to accidents and physical injuries. Well, I'm a bit clutzy

You like extremes. Physical, emotional and mental, and benefit profoundly by experiencing them; but if your extremism goes too far beyond social acceptability, then expect to be extremely lonely. Should I put the paddle away? :(

Taken from here

Do you read your horoscope? Do you do it secretly when noone is watching? Do you believe in it? What star sign are you? Are we compatible (no, it doesn't have to be lurve) or are we going to kick eachother in the groin until one of us wins?
