(adorable pudgy bulldog to soothe my anger towards the world and its cosmos)
The posts are soon dwindling down to the last few and it makes me kind of sad. I almost don't want to look back at what I used to blog, because of times that have come and gone; the fact that I know 2010 wasn't the happiest year of my life, due to emotional shit. But right now, I have something very important to discuss, because my fiery temper is not cutting it with being a "newly mandated" Cancer.
The change is bullshit. I don't care if it's been occurring for X amount of years or since the beginning of time. It's dumb. There is such a thing as semblance and order in the universe, which btw adding a 13th astrology sign throws off the balance. This is a complete stretch, but I'm glad Kyo gets his shot at being in the zodiac, but please, don't upset the balance of astrological signs. I read a description of Cancer, and while the description may fit me, to some extent, I have always embodied myself as a Leo.
My whole life I had such Leo pride and now I feel like it's a lie. If this "new" system only applies for kids born in 2009 or whenever, I'll feel like a liar if I tell my child, "No, I'm a Leo, not a Cancer." It's asinine to change something that's been around THAT long. And wtf, since when do people in SEPTEMBER deserve the Leo symbol? I always associated Leos with summer and September is clearly not summery, unless you live in Florida. No offense to some of the people born in September, but seriously? It's like adding salt to my injured pride.
I LOVED the fact that I was both a Sheep in the Chinese zodiac and a Leo in the Western astrology. I felt like I was something special - that I embodied two corresponding halfs to create something badass and awesome. The timid, creative nature of Sheep and the loud, uproarious Leo were what I defined myself as. I'll be damned if this new symbol, despite reminding me of Othello, ruins my inner turmoil and peace.
So GTFO new astrology, because I will sit on my porch and shoot you should you step on my lawn.
Us September birthday people LOVE being Virgos. We think before we act, we're creative, but if anyone tries to challenge us, they're fucked. So saying suddenly that most of us are Leos is nonsense. I'm just glad it only applies to the post-2009ers.
ReplyDeleteNot that I really care too much, I never put much stock in astrology.
After reading a description of Leos, I can see how I'd fit in as one. But, astrology is just being able to fit yourself into fairly vague descriptions anyway.
ReplyDeleteExactly. It's baffling to me how astrologists failed to do their "job" correctly. It's just a bunch of crock. And before you ask, yes, I am mad, bro!
