#53 Gemini

Post by Bratty »

Gemini per the book-

Lessons

"When manipulating Gemini, always keep in mind her astrological symbol: the Twins. In other words, she has two identities - maybe more. No wonder she can do two things at once. She can also do two people at once. But thats not a problem unless you are married to her.
Lesson: Whoever Gemini is today, she'll be someone else tomorrow. Gemini may be versatile, but your stuck with her foibles. Here's what NOT to expect:

Dont expect stability. Gemini uses his two personalities to dat around so fast, you couldnt push his buttons even if you could find them. He doesnt just move and think fast. He also talks fast enough to leave cat-skids.
Lesson: Expecting a Gemini to be stable is like counting on a politician to keep promises - naieve and a complete waste of time.

Dont expect commitment
Say you want to pin Gemini down about something important. The conversation will go something like this:
You: So, Gem, what do you want to be when you grow up? If you grow up, that is?
Gemini: (eagerly) Well I thought I'd ...(She breezes inot an answer with such eloquence that she talks herself hoarse.)

When Gemini is finished, do you feel satisfied she's given you a firm answer? You shouldn't. Gemini just spent the whole conversation wriggling, squirming, and speaking in a very learned way that hides the fact she hasn't committed to anything at all.
Lesson" To Gemini, words are to be climbed over, hidden behind, and threaded into hooks as bair. So you're going to have to learn to use her own bait against her.

The Verbal Arsenal

You can get your way with Gemini - if you're good with words. Here's the best way to use your words when psyching out the Twins. Or, to translate into twin-speak, how to be verbally expedient in achieving your goals with Gemini.

Use words as weapons

Gemini uses words as verbal darts, and he expects you to throw a few back. Entice him with words like quick, temporary, and flexible. And you can really blast him into the stratosphere with words like long term, routine, and stable.

Know the Gemini Vocabulary

Do your palms sweat at the sight of a dictionary? Do you tremble when touching a thesaurus? You can still get your way with Gemini by relying on words - her words. Memorize these definitions from the Gemini dictionary.

Clock - a primitive torture device used to force Geminis to be on time ; believed to have been invented by the Maquis De Sade
Commitment - A State in which one is pinned down; often leads to boredom and certain death
Job - An endeavor that pays small amounts of money in exchange for sacrificing huge amounts of free time; usually requires a commitment (see earlier definition)

These words are no nos. Do not use them.

Beware Gemini Bullshit

Gemini is dangerous. How can that be? you ask. She's so agreeable. And charming. Not to mention nimble and persuasive.
That's why she's dangerous.
Gemini will dazzle you with tricks while she weasles her way out of trouble and into your confidence. Watch out!

Beware the Gemini Charm

The Twins are slick. Cagey. Clever. They can talk a guy into leaving his wife before he's even gotten married. They can also talk you into doing things you had no intention of doing.

Lesson: Gemini is expert at saying things that sound vague but in reality are meaningless. He can slant, fabricate, and improvise with the zeal of 1000 Hollywood agents. This talent for felicious phrasing has given Gemini a reputation for insincerity. This, as any Libra will tell you, is unfair. You don't have to sneer at Gemini glibness. But you don't have to fall for it, either.

Beware the Gemini Sideways Shuffle

Lightning fast Gemini may seem to dark around indiscriminatoril, but she is capable of great focus. Especially when you want to focus on something important. The Twins can sense a serious conversation a light year away. For example, may youd like to have a little chat about the hundred dollars Gemini owes you.
Gemini is perfectly happy to talk it over. She sits down.
You: I hate to be a nag, but do you remember the time I loaned you money when you had to replace a tire on your car?
Gemini: (smiling brightly) of course, and I was so grateful. You know how i hate to be stuck in one place for long. Speaking of, do you remember when I visited Pague and was stuck there for three days?

Then Gemini regales you with a rambling conversation about foreign currency exchange rates, the stability of Eastern Europe, and what fun it would be to travel in South America.

Gemini (glancing at her watch 10 minutes later): Is that the time? Wow. It was great talking to you. Lets get together real soon.

She wriggled out the door before you can reel her back in.

Lesson: A Gemini can change subjects as fast as she can change identities.

Beware the Gemini Promise

You: Will you pick up my dry cleaning?
Gemini: Ill be happy to.

You wait patiently, but dont wait too long. By the time he makes it to the laundry, your clothes will be out of fashion.

And its no good being pissed off. he really meant to do it. Something just distracted him on the way.

Lesson: The Gemini motto is "Promise anything, then forget to do it."

Beware the Gemini Euphemism

If you want the relief of forthright communication, debate an Aries. The linguistically limber Gemini communicates indirectly. Forwarned is forearmed.

Gemini's Achilles' Heel: Change

Craving it. Changing it. Creating it. If youre around a Gemini who wont change, youd better check his pulse and sell byu date. He may very well be dead.
Gemini's changeability is one reason its so hard to keep him from flitting all over the place. you can still get your way, though. Heres how to get him to flit in the direction YOU want him to go.

Make boring things sound exciting

To Gem, boredom's the result of restriction. And restriction reminds her of jail and other depressing places that effect reception on her cell phone. try this when sending Gemini on a cramped ten hour transatlantic flight.: "Just think! You have all that time to read and watch movies!"

Set Gemini's clocks forward

A moronic technique, but its the only way youll trick gemini into punctuality.

Derail Geminis plans

Gemini loves to make plans - so he can break them. Say youre on a shopping trip with Gemini. He plans to browse the electronic sstore, but you want to look at clothes. Pretend you're dying to look at the latest HDTV. But as soon as you approach the window of the boutique, stop and say, "Look! Isnt that a cunningly constructed mannequin?" Walk into the store. Dollars for doughnuts, Gemini will follow you.

The Sultan of Subterfuge: The Gemini Lover

Are you frightened by fickleness? If youre involved with a Gemini, get used to it. Sometimes hes so fickle, hes promiscuous. The Twins idea of an intimate relationship is to have a deep thing going with two or three really witty people.
Ill say no more in the interests of astrological impartiality, but you can at least be sure of this.

Lesson: One twin will be faithful to you at all times.
Gemini more than any other sign is attracted to people like himself. Thats because Gemini is a dual sign, and hes used to seeing his own reflection - even when hes alone and without a mirror.

Selling yourself to the Gemini Lover

Be flirtacious.

Gemini likes to flirt even more than Scorpio likes to have sex. Gem will flirt with you, your grandfather, and the cop who ticketed her for speeding. If you don't flirt back, shell think your not interested.

Be unpredictable

The only thing Gem hates more than boredom is routine. Try changing plans at the last minute. Go to a new resteraunt. See a movie in a foreign language. Dye your hair. Change your address. You get the picture.

Be fun

Addicted to misery? Dont trash your Gemini love affair with it. Share it with a Capricorn: he won't even notice. Be playful to keep Gemini tuned in. Have you bored him to yawning point? Hell dissapear before you ever seen him yawn twice.

Adopt a Gemini persona

Because Geminis such a quick change artist with his multiple identities, shes also into multiplicity in love affairs. Yes Gemini can be into multiple affairs but theres an easy way to satisfy this urge without the interference of other lovers. Indulge in a sexual roleplaying: As long as Gemini wants to make love with different people, why not make all of them you?
Lesson: Try on various personalities when bedding down a Gemini. If you try on different personalities, Gemini might try being focused on you.

Be sexually adventurous - mentally.

a Gemini lovers idea of adventurous shouldnt scare you. He doesnt necessarily expect you to explore romantic opportunities outside of the relationship. he does, however, expect you to explore places beyond the boundaries of your imagination. Are you normally private about your fantasies? Embaressed even? Then your in luck wiht a Gemini lover; you can feel okay about having fantasies AND talk about them.

Gemini likes the idea of kinky sex but not necessarily the reality. If youve ever wondered what it would be like to install a trapeze in the bedroom, dress up in leather undergarments, or raid the erotic literature section, just talk to Gemini about it. The great thing is that you wont actually have to follow up on it.

Stofsk wrote:What tips do Scorpios get?
Ooooh, my achelies heel, personally. At least those that personify the stereotypical Scorpio, aka Shadowlord, whether they are or are not. They are complicated, intense, sexual, and secretive. For a Virgo, at least Virgo, they are like a project that is never done, always working. Scorpios are the cool. Alas, they are so hard to keep. Silly bad boys.

Per the book:

"Lessons:

Beware the Scorpio Lie A Scorpio will lie about anything she considers none of your business. Like her name, sex and phone number. If you ever find out somebody lied about her birthdate, you'll know she's a Scorpio. Some take this self - protection to extremes. Like Andy Warhol. Only an astrological imbesile would've thought Warhol was a Leo. Just look at the guy: he wore black, he lied about his birth date, he made dirty movies, someone shot him.

Beware the Scorpio Disguise Scorpio is never what he appears on the surface. Or just below the surface. Never ever.
If he reads the "Wall Street Journal" on the commuter train, he reads "Domination Digest" before he goes to bed. If he wears overalls and sports a buzz cut, at home he reads Shakespeare sonnets and watches PBS. If he chantsw mantras and rattles tambourines for the Krishnas, he actively supports the abolition of free speech.
If he ignores you, he wants to screw you.
So you want to take charge of Scorpio. This is tricky, risky even, because Scorpio's so good at taking charge of everyone else. He's been craft and cunning from the time he wore diapers, so he knows what move you'll make even before you make it. Maybe even before you think it. The chances of beating him at the manipulation game are low, and the cost of failure is high. If you get caught, that is. And you will.
Imagine this: You've got an itch for your Scorpio friend's lover. "Ill ask her out," you say. "The worst she can do is turn me down." She turns you down. So what?
So this: Scorp always thought you were out to get him. Now he knows. What'll happen? Don't ask. Just hand him a riding crop, drop your jockey shorts, and bend over.

What not to do with a Scorpio:

Dont flatter Scorpio. Or try and bribe Scorpio. "Dont flatter?" you say. "Dont bribe?" Go ahead. Try it.

Your Scorp husband won't take the nint about buying a new car. So you cook his favorite dinner and wear your naughtiest lingerie. Over a candle-lit dinner, you say, "You really are a peach of a husband."

In the morning, you feel smug about the sweaty night's work you put in after the lights went out. When you wake up, the garage is still empty. So is your bed. Don't worry, he hasn't run off to Bermuda. He's in the kitchen steam opening your mail.
Lesson: Flatter a Scorpio, and he'll think you're plotting against him.

Don't bullshit Scorpio If you're feeling the seduction of social bullshit, do the party circuit with a Gemini. With Scorpio, you'd better be yourself, even if you're afraid she won't like what she sees. Especially if you're afraid she won't like what she sees.
Scorpio (confirming a date): Are we still on for the play tonight?

It sounded like fun a week ago. But now all you want ot do is stay home and pick fleas off your dog. But you're afraid to offend. So what do you say?

You: It sounded fun a week ago, but all I feel like doing tonight is picking fleas off my dog.

Lession: Scorpio was born with a natural bullshit detector, so don't try and be smooth.

Don't tell Scorpio you're secret weapon is astrology.
Lesson: Scorpio assumes astrology was invented just so other people could figure out how to snatch his power and invade his privacy.

He may not believe in astrology, but he'll get nervous if he thinks you're using it to learn how to handle him. A nervous Scorpio is an unsafe Scorpio.

Practice this:
Scorpio: Let's say a person's born in November. What sign does that make him?
You: Umm...Virgo?

Scorpio's Achilles' Heel: Sex

Its the only thing about himself a Scorpio can't hide. You won't have to surreptitously sneak around looking through Scorpio's bedroom drawers to discover her sexual secrets. She'll broadcast them loud and clear - in stereo. Scorpio lives for sex. Radiates sex. Is sex. And if you want to bond tightly with Scorpio, get used to buying condoms by the case.

Luring the Scorpio Lover
Lesson: The universal Scorpio aphrodesiacs are power and mystery.
To attract her, you'd better have plenty of both. But be careful how you show that power and mystery. Something that impresses other signs will probably piss off a Scorpio.

Scorpio Turn Offs
Posers. The Plutonian dislikes phonies. After all, if you're a fake, you must have something to hide. Scorpio is suspicious of and bored by the electronic props of power - like cell phones, PDAs, pages. Leave your poser-phone at home.
Invasions of privacy Scorpio makes a religion out of privacy. Remember that the next time you're temted to snoop through her mail, eavesdrop on her phone call, or look under her bed.
You might guess from all this she detests crowds. How can a person be private in a crowd? If you see her in the middle of one, you can be sure she's on her way somewhere secluded. Intimate even. Leos have a problem here: In close quarters, there's no room for the Leo entourage. Send the entourage on vacation.
Flightiness Scorpio can't stand surprises. If he can't predict something, it means he can't control it. A flight or unpredictable person will send him running.
If you are a typical Aquarius, you better pretend to be a Taurus.

Handling a Scorpio Once you've Got one:
Never fool around sexually Why would you do that anyway? There are reasons to flirt with carnal exploration. Maybe you're sick of multiple orgasms. Or tired of never getting to be on top. Go ahead and experiment. But make the lover a good one - it could be the last you'll have.
Be secretive It's hard to keep secrets from Sherlock. Try, though. He'll get bored if he thinks he's figured you out. Make up a few secrets to keep himinterested. Try locking up your address book, and then watch him turn into amateur safe-cracker.
Play sex games Things getting too routine? Try this.
You: (calling your Scorpio girlfriend at work) Meet me at Chelsea Hotel in two hours. Bring the economy-sized box of condoms, some electrical tape, and a video camera.

Don't do this often, you'll find yourself manacled to a Scorpio without a job."

There is more, like how to deal with a Scorpio boss, detecting a Scorpio, etc, but above at the highlights. the cool :P
Scorpio, right here. Does not describe me at all.

How do we say this? Ah yes.

Will post cancer as well.

It is all in fun, deary.

And according to astrological signs, my husband and I, both Virgos, should be happy together, but our relationship should reflect more of a business arrangement or proposition. Instead it is incredibly passionate and adventurous. ~grins~ The debate on "accuracy" is in the Science and Arcadia thread.

There's nothing wrong with different mixs, they simply take a bit more patience to work out...

trust me... my best friend falls across the color wheel, in Sag (sorry Impy, but you're family, and you're my sister and this is an example). We get along like two peas in a pod. *won't go into mischief that's in the middle of right now until figures out how to clear it up*

#64 Libras

Post by Bratty »

Libras per the book : (this one goes out to Josh ~smootch~)
Lessons:

"Libras are the persuaders extraordinaire of the zodiac. Libra gives the appearance of being balanced. He's so pleasant, so refined, and lovely to look at. Libras have nice smiles and beautiful voices. This is to disguise their steely determination and razor-sharp minds.
It is said in astrological circles that Aries as cornered the market on leadership. Because of their forthright manner, Rams just appear to be in charge. Aries are really the frontmen for Libras, who rule the world.
Here's how they do it and what you should be aware of.


Beware Libra's impeccable manners.
Its so easy to relax around the Venus-ruled Libran. Libra always consults you politely. Chivalrously, even. Lets say your meeting Libra for breakfast. You walk into the kitchen, and Libra greets you with a smile.

Libra: I dont know how you like your eggs.
You: (to yourself) How considerate!

Before you go into a soliloquy about the merits of eggs benedict verses huevos rancheros, look around you. Is Libea standing there with an egg whisk in one hand and a poacher in the other? No.
Does Libra's question mean he is making breakfast? No. You are.

Beware the Libras seeking opinions

Libra: What would you like to do today?

Oh good, you think, we get to go to the zoo instead of the theatre. Libra SEEMS to be asking your opinion about what youll do for entertainment. Shes really just setting it upso that she can tell you what she wants to do.

Lesson: When Libra approaches you with an opinion seeking question, its a signal that Libra has already made up her mind. Its the only occasion when this happens, so enjoy it.

Beware the Libra considerate nature.

Libra will disarm you with apparent consideration, especially when doing something he knows you dont like.

Libra is doing something you agreed is against the house rules. Since you both value your sleep, you agreed there would be no loud music after 11pm and no lawn mowing early in the morning on Saturday mornings.

Then, one night, you hear Beethovan's 9th blasting from the stereo or the nerve grating sound of the lawn mower before 8am on a Sunday. Deciding Libra needs to be reminded of your agreement, you prepare for a debate.

You storm downstairs thinking about tactics and trying to decide whether to use reason or guilt or to go with your inclinations and use raw anger. There stands Libra, smiling with concern.

Libra: Is this a bad time to be making all this noise?

You reel from this consideration, so apparently at odds with Libras actions, and are stumped. Then you find yourself muttering "Its okay" and volunteering to hear the symphony through to the end or get more gasoline for the mower.

Lesson: Dont take consideration for an answer.

Libras Achilles' Heel: A Calm and Peaceful Atmosphere

If you can be calm and keep your head in lifes little emergencies, Libra will keep you around. Indefinitely.
Yes this need for calm contradicts Libras penchant for lively debates. Think of the symbol for Libra: The Scales. When you put weight on one side, the other side shoots up. Then when you try to even it out with either to the other side, this side rises. If this is hard to imagine, think of a seesaw's action as it goes up and down.

Sometimes its hard to keep score. Which side are you on? Which side is Libra on? Dont ask Libra. Just remember whos side your on. Yours. Remember to convince Libra youre on his side. Just be prepared to switch at a moment's notice.

The Venus-ruled Libra spends life in a quest to be aggressively moderate. This back and forth movement is tiring to Libra and exhausting to watch. Yes, Libra is undeniably pleasant, ever so reasonable, and even tempered. Yet when you are around her for long, you fear the knot in your stomach is growing into an ulcer and everyone knows only Virgos get ulcers. There must be something wrong with you, you think. Before you accuse your mother of forging the date on your birth certificate, think.
If this kind of mental contortionism makes you frantic for balance, just think what it does to the Libra.

Decoding the Diplomat; Translating Libra-Speak

Libra isnt known as the diplomatic sign for nothing. If charm is the last refuge of the scoundral, then Libra is quite the refugee. Most charmers inflict their gifts on a small audience. Since diplomats are charmers with an international audience, it follows that Libras are diplomats with an intergalactic audience.

Do you dislike decoding conversations? Are you fond of forthright statements? Then say au revior to Libra and persue more direct signs of the zodiac like Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, or Pieces.

It helps to have a foreign language dictionary when traveling abroad. Its even more helpful to have a dictionary of Libra phrases when dealing with Libra friends, bosses, or lovers.

Here are a few Libra phrases, followed by translations:

Youre the first guest who used a bath towel instead of a hand towel.

You will be the last guest.

Id love to hear about the traffic jam on the expressway. Another time, perhaps?

Libra never wants to hear about it.

Here, let me help you choose a new wallpaper

Youre choosing a tacky wallpaper that Libra wouldnt use to paper a cat box.

Im not good at stocking office supplies

Libra wants you to arrange the file folders and paper clips.

I love the magazine youre reading

Libra likes the magazine youre reading. All your others suck though, so throw them in the recycle bin.

I usually sleep on the right side of the bed. But you already knew that.

You should already know that.

---
Be indirect
Libra dislikes directness. With Libra, all routes are circuitous. Not only ou have to read between the lines, sometimes the lines stretch around the block. Navigate carefully.

Dont use force
Its too confrontational. With Libra, force usually meets with force and starts more arguments. Brush up on your advocacy.

The Lawyer in Lovers Clothing: The Libra Lover

Libras are always in relationships or looking for relationships, sometimes at the same time. This is the astrological sign for whom dating services were invented - not because they cant get dates without a third party sales pitch, but because they always want to be involved with someone. One place you wont find Libra is between love affairs. If you feel like looking over your shoulder, dont. You might catch a glimpse of other interested applicants.
To smooth your life with a Libra lover, be preparef for these common Libra tactics.

The Libra Lecture
Libras like to hold forth, but their lectures are more like discussions. They enjoy back-chat. Natives of the sign of Libra are great thinkers. Libra thinks mostly about arguing, a sport she calls "lively debate". Youre more likely to call it cruel and unusual punishment.
To Libra, arguing is the highest form of entertainment and her favorite amusement. Unless you get off on debates, dont push the arguing/balancing button.
Your Libra lover has the ability to be charming and blunt at the same time. When you find yourself falling for Libra charm, go off and repeat Libras remarks into a tape recorder, and see if youd fall for it if you said it yourself.

The Libra Lightshow

Libra just appears to be light. Before you decide that light banter would not only go over his head but through it as well, think again. Lightness is just a disguise Libra uses to throw you off guard when preparing to do psychological takedown.

The Psuedo Suggestion

Youve had a lovely dinner with Libra. Then your lovely lover makes a suggestion.

Libra: Would you like to come and talk to me while I do the dishes?

It seems awkward to just stand there and let your lover do all the work, so you start scrubbing the pots and pans, cleaning the sink, and tidying up generally while Libra loads the dishwasher but doesnt start it yet. Youre pleased, and judging by Libras usual sweet smile, she seems pleased too.

As you sit in front of the TV with an after dinner cognac, Libra glances into the kitchen and sighs. "Shall I run the dishwasher? Maybe Ill wait. The kitchen isnt as clean as Id like it." Then libra smiles again and gives you a squeeze.
You think Libra is apologizing. Think again, shes chastizing.
Yes, you.

Seducing the Seductive Libra

As the happy recipients of seduction, Libras are custom made. They love to be in relationships, and they love to be romanced. Use the traditional tactics of muted lighting, soft music, and lovely meals. You might throw in an extra or two, like a massage or a love note. It never hurts to lay in a supply of candles to set the atmosphere. Little things mean a lot to Libra. Libra will always be charmingly thankful for the nice things you do. Youll be thankful you romanced them, too. Libras can be wonderful to have around if youre in the market for romance. If you are in the market for wilderness and unpredictability, then youre out of luck with Libra.
Libra loves the idea of partnership. Very early in the relationship you can say things that forecast a future. For instance, say something like this, "I just love being with you. You're good at things Im not good at, and vice versa. We compliment each other beautifully. We make a great couple, dont you think?"
If you're used to an independant type like Sagittarius or Aquarius or a slippery soul mate like Pieces, a comment like that would send them bolting for the door. Not Libra. He loves being in relationships. Youll love it too, if y ou keep the following "DONTS" in mind:

Libra donts

In a relationship with such an agreeable sign as Libra, there is only one dont. its a big one, though. Dont get thrown by Libra debates.
You're a particularly sensitive soul who picks up on others needs and responds to them instinctively; so, of course, you expect others to do the same. Remember Libra loves to engage in lively debates. Your Libra lover isnt being insensitive; shes just being a Libra. You feel. Libra thinks. And she thinks mostly about arguing, a mental sport she prefers to call "energetic conversation"

Of course, your Libra lover is charming. libra is probably also good looking. this is the cosmos' way of disguising the fact that all Libras are lawyers at heart, no matter what they do for a living. And what do lawyers do? They see two sides to every question and argue both with equal conviction. So does your Libra lover. When you say yes, Libra automatically says no.

How do you win an argument with Libra? Its tricky. You cant even walk away from one, because Libra will pick up where you left off the night before. The only way to deal with a Libra argument is to do this:

You: Im sorry. You're right.

Then when Libras trying to figure out whether youre sorry about what you said or whether youre merely sorry that shes right, you can go off and restore your mental equilibrium.

Poor Josh! At least your family doesn't work in the insurance business or Mafiasoft, or have socialistic tendencies towards reform.

Oh, oops ~smirks~

I don't like ornate, fancy daggers. I prefer functional blades. But you already knew that.
