Gold Dust Woman-Fleetwood Mac

...tonite during a discussion with a pal about a friend's hell-bent-on-agony actions...the subject of astrological signs entered the discussion...the hell-bent friend was a fellow Gemini...coming from a difficult past, big family with religious overtones...i identify with this younger, female version of myself in many ways...

...in response to the question i was posed, "does that make her two face?"...i began to think about that query...and all that it entails...each zodiac sign has it's own set of duality's...for instance the Scorpio is made up of three distinct stages...the grey lizard, the scorpion and the eagle...the Gemini isn't so much two-faced as they have many different facets of their personality in a life-long attempt to belong...Gemini's have to learn to integrate these different sides of their person into one fully-realized person...it takes time...

...we begin malleable and motivated by "shiny objects"...somewhat easily swayed and fully ready to be absorbed by and subsequently absorb the world around us...and then there is the communication...Gemini's have this need to communicate...and since we are often in the throes of struggling to belong, we will say what we need to...to belong...

...breaking a friends confidence, for instance...i had a friend who was also a Gemini, who would tell people that he lost his finger to a shark...as if any one believed it or was impressed by it...but somehow this allowed my friend to feel like he belonged to something bigger than he really was...

...while discussing these things and thinking on these things...it just sounds so bleak...and remember you Aquarius or Capricorn out there, for instance, every sign has it's bad side...sometimes two or three bad sides...and i am almost defaming my own sign warning people to stay away...hardly...

...as i have grown i am more and more myself...not yet fully realized but realizing that being fully realized would make my life more manageable...i am less and less malleable...i have my own ideals and beliefs and am not easily swayed...i know when a friend deserves and needs their confidence held on to...and when people are just spreading idle gossip...

...every person regardless of their sign, has a need to belong and takes a while to work out the many kinks in our operating systems...but we each deserve a little patience and forgiveness, because we may need each other one day...the way the zodiac works is that all the signs work and go together to benefit the whole...in our finery we are complimentary and enlightened...but for now we just struggle to belong while longing to rise above...

...tonite from a fellow Gemini i give you...Stevie...
