Istijlál (Majesty), 18 Sharaf (Honor) 175 B.E. - Thursday, January 17, 2018
Do a bit of research on your Zodiac Sign. What are the associated characteristics of people with your sign and how do you exhibit those characteristics? https://www.horoscope.com/zodiac-signs I was born on a cold December night in Oklahoma. A Capricorn, whose fate the stars do not dictate. If I read my horoscope, it is either for a laugh, or to goose my muse. Detail-oriented bordering on obsessive compulsive, especially when it comes to rhythm and rhyme. Intelligent: No argument or smart ass remark here. Hardworking: I think this should be changed to hard-wording, because I love to discover new word, similes, and metaphors. Element: Earth - Of course, I was born on Earth, if I were born on Mars I would expect my element to be Mars. Polarity: Negative - I suppose this could explain the depression I sometimes descend into. Under normal conditions (whatever normal conditions are) I'm a half-way positive person; especially when the sun is shining or there is a full moon. Quality: Cardinal - I hope this does not refer to my singing voice. I'm tone deaf, and can't carry a tune in a silk handkerchief. Ruling Planet: Saturn - Sounds like a nice place to visit, but I'm not sure I would want to live there. Ruling House: Tenth - I haven't lived in ten houses yet. In Blackwell, Oklahoma, I lived in two. Since moving to Las Vegas I've lived in five houses. Spirit Color: Dark blue - Traditionally blue is the color of a healthy soul. I don't know how dark a blue my soul is, at present. I suspect that the darker the blue, the healthier the soul. All though the opposite could be just as true. Lucky Gem: lapis lazuli - I like the crystal blue color of the stone. This stone is supposed to help with good judgement and wisdom, so it is a stone I would wear or carry with me just to see if it does help in these areas. Flower: Pansy - I think pansies are pretty flowers. However, I prefer either roses or hyacinth. Love Match: Virgo - I don't think I've ever dated a Virgo. In fact, I've never heard the pickup line "What's your sign?" |
