even zodiacs that are not double bodied express some form of duality in their nature. one quality is a vacuum for the other.
the aries is childlike expansion and curiosity coupled with commanding leadership. aries may be primitive, but they are not followers. they have the spirit of the young, and yet they rule
taurus is known for practicality but is also astonishingly creative. they hold tightly to materials, but also free and one with nature
gemini is the student and the teacher. they need people but are easily self amused. they are the embodiment of duality
cancer is withdrawing but also craves affection. their inner child is dominant, but they are also the maternal mother archetype. they are submissive and yet powerful in business
leo is confident and yet very self conscious. they are ego centric and yet very protective and aware of vulnerable others. their inner child is dominant and yet they are also leaders
virgo are healers but they are self destructive. they are practical and yet extreme idealists. they are solitary and yet need to communicate
libra has strong likes and dislikes and yet they view multiple perspectives of life. they are intellect and intuition and reflect their surroundings
scorpio is solitary but also requires ultra close bonds. they are curious and yet very absorbed in and held to their beliefs. scorpios are healers and yet self destructive
sagittarius is visionary and yet requires logic. they are a student and the teacher. they are open minded people but are not easily swayed in their beliefs
capricorn is concerned with building a working life reputation and also being the dominant parent. they are confident and yet very self conscious and contemptuous.
aquarius is thoughts channeled from higher dimensions, and yet also limitation and skepticism. they are withdrawn and yet also very socially active and people conscious
pisces are vulnerable and yet powerful. healing but self destructive. they are all things that represent duality.
aries: you carry a fire inside of you and although the flames are beautiful, you must not let them burn the ones you love.
taurus: it’s never okay to kill parts of yourself just to keep others alive.
gemini: you are art. you are magical and mystical and everything in between. it’s okay if not everyone is able to understand that; learn how to appreciate your own beauty instead of searching for another’s admiration.
cancer: it’s okay to taste your own tears sometimes. after all, saltwater has a funny way of healing all wounds.
leo: you have moved mountains and swam across oceans, so who’s to say you can’t save your own damn self?
virgo: make a fist with your hand and understand that you still have fight left in you. don’t give up on yourself just yet.
libra: erase the battle lines you’ve drawn inside your head. you don’t deserve to be at war with yourself anymore; you never did.
scorpio: do not let your light be extinguished by the dark this world has shown you.
sagittarius: the unknown has always scared you but there is an entire universe inside of you & i promise that it’s worth exploring.
capricorn: you have made mistakes but you are not a hurricane. no, you are as warm and as lovely as the summer rain.
aquarius: rest easy with the knowledge that the people who have done you wrong can’t sleep at night.
pisces: you will not find happiness in the same place that you lost it. stop searching through the wreckage and rebuild the life you’re meant to be living.
aries:can be very soft, emotional. sometimes doubt themselves. feel unwanted, unloved. they are without a doubt strong people but sometimes they just need someone to make them feel alright again. cry over people who hurt them in the past sometimes. never really forget what others did to them.
taurus:overprotective and jealous because they doubt themselves as a partner. sometimes they feel not good enough. can get angry over little things. when in rage they may say things they don’t really mean and regret later. focused on their goals so much that they are about to give them up after a little failure.
gemini:can be mean and bitter when hurt. wouldn’t admit they’re hurt. ignore people because they don’t know how to express themselves sometimes. overthink things and panic. it takes them a lot of time to regain their strength. they look for a home in other people. they often feel misunderstood.
cancer:they can be hard as a rock. they give second chances but they know exactly that giving a third chance is foolish. they won’t hurt those who hurt them but they will make sure the people who did them wrong know what they did. is normally a dreamy romantic but they have an iron skin to hide in when it all gets too much.
leo:sometimes they feel powerless, as if something was sucking their energy out of them. challenges that seem impossible can bring them to their knees. sometimes their “roar” is a soft, whispering voice. their pride can make them roar incredibly loud though. if they feel like you make fun of them you’ll get to see their teeth and this is not how you want to experience them.
virgo:sometimes they are mean on purpose, hurt on purpose. they may try to control others emotionally. they do this to be let alone or to make someone stay. sometimes they feel lonely and down. they also create little worlds where they hide then. they can have problems with saying or even knowing what they want and it confuses them and makes them feel uncomfortable.
libra:they doubt themselves a lot. they sometimes feel like the failed first try of a painting. sometimes they are not as kind as nomally, sometimes they explode. they never forget what they deserve and they will do anything to get what they want. they use their elbows to get people out of their way if it’s needed.
scorpio:they sometimes feel things they don’t understand and it makes them feel depressed. sometimes they feel like no one on this planet is made to understand them. sometimes they regret things so much that they hate themselves for making those mistakes. it takes them a ot of strength to seem as strong as they are.
saggittarius:the longer they look for them, the more “flaws” they’ll find in themselves. they are bright people who live in so many colours but sometimes all they see is black and white, maybe grey. sometimes deep thoughts keep them awake and although they usually have many friends they don’t know who to talk to. then they feel like the whole word has given up on them. they are known as funny, charming people but sometimes they feel like they’re carrying the weight of everyone’s happiness, like they’re responsible for it, and that can be too much for them from time to time.
capricorn:they can be furious. sometimes, when it all gets too much, they yell and kick things and start treating the people around them badly just for standing where they stand, just for being there. they like to know more than they should. they rarely speak about how they feel. they tend to hide their true feelings from everyone around them and when they finally talk about things that bother them no one knows how to comfort them. they don’t say what they want but expect others to feel what they want and when no one understands them they get angry.
aquarius:there can be a lot of secrets behind the pretty face of an aquarius. the best kept can be their sadness. although they are bright personalities who love to laugh and make jokes, aquarius often have experienced things that still bother them even after a long time. they won’t always speak about it, they may try to cover it, but some day they will tell everyone what bothers them. it’s actually hard for them to let go of their past.
pisces:they can be the most revengeful people. sometimes they know nothing, neither friends nor family. if they want to make someone pay for something they will do so, they will get their revenge. although they love a lot and love intensely, they also know hate. they try to avoid this feeling but they know it too well. actually pisces are haunted by a lot of things, mostly their own mistakes. they sometimes can’t find peace. they fight for justice but sometimes they go too far. too far with many things. they tend to be self-destructive.
a friend shared a meme on facebook titled ‘what the signs like’, the joke being that all of them were ‘punching a nazi in the face’; i felt it lacked nuance and so:
aries: punching a nazi in the face, ANY TIME, ANYWHERE, MFCKZ
taurus: punching a nazi in the face in defense of friends threatened by him, also stealing his sandwich
gemini: punching a nazi in the face, and then going home and writing a blog post about love and understanding
cancer: inviting a nazi over for poisoned tea
leo: punching a nazi in the face, then climbing on a platform to give an impassioned speech about it
virgo: exhaustively researching the best methods of nazi-punching before delivering a perfectly calculated blow to a nazi’s face, being unsatisfied, starting over
libra: punching a nazi in the face, dancing while glitter spontaneously rains from the sky
scorpio: sneaking up behind a nazi and pushing him into someone else’s fist
sagittarius: charming a nazi into punching himself in the face
capricorn: punching ten nazis on the way to pick up a cup of coffee before work in the morning
aquarius: punching a nazi in the face as public therapeutic performance art, not caring that nobody gets it
pisces: summoning a force of pure psychic energy to deck a nazi without moving a muscle
