How to Tag & Bag Any Man Using Astrology
90
Astrology, is it a science or a bunch of hogwash? Perhaps you see it as just a vicarious thrill and there's no harm in reading your own horoscope on a daily basis.
For me, astrology has always been somewhat of a hobby. My shelves are lined with various tomes on the subject and my prized possession is a rather dog-eared copy of Linda Goodman's "Sun Signs" which I've had for nearly three decades. While I make no claims to being an expert astrologist, I have upon occasion given friends a more expanded view of their natal chart or a compatibility analysis of their current relationship when requested to do so.
This hub was inspired by an innocent, or not so innocent, conversation with some of my favorite hub-friends. At first, it seemed a cut and dried topic...a tongue in cheek look at astrological signs as they applied to men and how they could be used by women for their benefit. Unfortunately, the more I wrote, the more I wanted to know (which is quite typical for a hobbyist) and before I knew it, the entire hub had expanded into a monster that I could barely fit a cage around.
I'd like to acknowledge one particular source that unwittingly aided and abetted this hub. If astrology is your thing and you'd like to learn more, I encourage you to check out this website: Loonsounds Astro Humor.
Also, the wonderful good/bad images were provided courtesy of Clayboys, Inc. If you have enjoyed the artist's work as much as I have, drop by and say hello at www.clayboys.com or drop a line to theboys@clayboys.com.
Now...let's have some fun!
Aries
Aries Male 101
Aries (3/21 - 4/20): There is a reason why this sign is considered the child of the zodiac...and most men born under this sign will behave like children. Keeping in mind that Aries is a cardinal sign AND a fire element it is not surprising that this man can try the patience of a lot of women. If you happen to like your men on the immature side and don't mind indulging in their constant "look at me" behavior, then you will get along fabulously with your little he-sheep. The perk of being with an Aries man is that life will never be dull. They need constant stimulation, mentally and physically, or they will sulk and become morose. Luckily, they aren't very difficult to entice into an adventure and you'll enjoy it every bit as much as they do. Just remember that acknowledgement of their enjoyment is more important than yours.
Aries Prayer: "Dear God! Give me PATIENCE and I want it NOW!"
How many Aries does it take to change a lightbulb? "Just one. You want to make something of it?"
Aries Daily Affirmation: "I honor and express all facets of my being, regardless of state and local laws."
What an Aries says after sex: "Okay, let's do it again."
How to Bag & Tag
Coo over him and make a big fuss. Show him all of your bright, shiny interesting gadgets and then try not to lose your temper if he happens to take one apart and loses interest before he puts it back together again. Don't even hint that the world doesn't revolve around him.
How to Get Rid of Him (Loonsounds)
Be a mouse grabber. Never follow their lead. Keep a steady dialogue with all of your exes. Fool with their hair after they just fixed it. Forget their birthday. Try to order them around.
Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
You find yourself alone, standing amidst blowing dust and flecks, strips of black tire tracks, heavy gasoline fumes, and very little else. Slowly, slowly, the sound of the roaring engine recedes, thundering silence taking its place.
Taurus
Taurus Male 101
Taurus (4/21 - 5/21): The symbolic figure of this astrological sign is the bull...probably because the Democrats had already taken the donkey. A Tauren is simply put the most stubborn and pigheaded male in the entire zodiac. The more you push, the deeper he will dig in those hooves and nothing you can do will change his mind...except for feminine charm. Taurens are suckers for creature comforts...whether it's food, a cozy home or an enveloping hug. They are generally good-natured, sentimental at heart and prone to romantic gestures once their needs have been met.
A Tauren's Prayer: "Dear God, please help me accept CHANGE in my life, but NOT YET."
How many Taurens does it take to change a light bulb? One, but just "try" to convince them that the burned-out bulb is useless and should be thrown away.
A Tauren's Daily Affirmation: "Before I criticize a man, I walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."
What a Tauren says after sex: "I'm hungry - pass the pizza."
How to Bag & Tag
Feed him a home-cooked meal, tuck him into a warm cozy bed and assure him that he is completely in charge and doesn't have to go to sleep if he doesn't want to. You just wanted him to be comfortable.
How to Get Rid of Him (Loonsounds)
Acquire some credit cards by placing their name first on the application. Don't tell. Sit in their chair. Hide/eat all the sweets in the house. Insist on joint accounts. Refuse to sign a prenup.
Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
You offer extravagant food, they say they've lost their appetite and when you turn away from them in bed, they just turn away from you in the opposite direction (instead of poking you with their horns). Taurus: Either they're all over you, or they're gone.
Gemini
Gemini Male 101
Gemini (5/22 - 6/21): Meet the zodiac's original multi-tasker. He can bury his nose in the computer so deeply that you would swear he didn't hear a word you just said. Do yourself a favor and don't challenge him though...it's insulting. Not only has he heard everything you have said, he's also processed it in his usual rational manner and has come up with a solution to your problem...even if you were just commenting on the weather. Unfortunately, unless you are a completely rational woman (and let's face it...not many are), his advice will usually fall far short of the mark of what you consider to be normal for most humans. But understand...this man isn't really human...he's more of a machine.
A Gemini's Prayer: "Yo God...(or is it Goddess?)...Who are you?...What are you?.....Where are You?.....How many of you ARE there? I can't figure you out!"
How many Geminis does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Two, but the job never gets done - they just keep arguing about who is supposed to do it and how it's supposed to be done!
A Gemini's Daily Affirmation: "I am at one with my duality."
What a Gemini says after sex: "Have you seen the TV remote?"
How to Bag & Tag
This man will fall for a human puzzle...so be enigmatic. He's not threatened in the least by your intelligence, so don't be afraid to use it. Ignoring him will also work as he really hates to be ignored
How to Get Rid of Him (Loonsounds)
Don't let them get a word in edgewise. Regarding gossip, make it clear that you are "above it all." Be Possessive. Get call waiting and put them on hold. Avoid sexual experimenting.
Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
You hear it from a friend who heard it from another, who over-heard it from a third (who, not realizing that he/she was on speaker phone), discussed his/her opinion on the latest gossip which he/she picked up vis-a-vis the MMORG you used to play together.
Cancer
Cancer Male 101
Cancer (6/22 - 7/21): And now we bump right into our first truly emotional sign. Oh sure, he has you fooled doesn't he? There is no way this man could be all smooshy deep down because he's downright sarcastic and cantankerous, right? Wrong. He's so squishy inside that he has to wear that nearly impenetrable shell to keep people from taking advantage of his tender bits. A Cancerian male loves food and usually you'll find him in the kitchen or at the very least knowing the best places to dine. Unfortunately, being a Cancerian male also increases the likelihood of him being a mama's boy. Unless his mother was somebody like Lizzie Borden, you'll never be half the woman that his sainted mother is or was. Don't even try to argue with him on this point...because if it's a choice between you and Mom...you might be packing your toothbrush.
A Cancerian's Prayer: "Dear Daddy, I know I shouldn't depend on you so much, but you're the only One I can count on while my security blanket is at the cleaners."
How many Cancerians does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Just one. But it takes a therapist three years to help them through the grief process.
A Cancerian's Daily Affirmation: "I need not suffer in silence while I can still moan, whimper, and complain."
What a Cancerian says after sex: "When are we getting married?"
How to Bag & Tag
Show him your photo album or year book...or even better, let him show you his. Then if it seems to be working...invite his mother to have dinner with the two of you. You'll never get rid of him if you follow this advice, so be careful. Cancerians can be rather clingy and are apt to stalk you.
How to Get Rid of Him (Loonsounds)
Be rude to their mother's face. Never laugh. Insist on having it done your way in the kitchen. Be moodier than they are. Sabotage their family reunion. Chip away at their nest egg.
Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
You become a strict vegan, and they say nothing about it. Weeks later you cut yourself badly while cooking your own veggie plate dinner. When you cry out and show them jets of blood, they look up from their call with mom just long enough to say "Oh. Bummer".
Leo
Leo Male 101
Leo (7/22 - 8/22): Just as the lion is the king of the jungle, so Leo is the benevolent ruler of the zodiac. Like the Tauren, Leo men tend to be big ol' teddy bears when content. When they aren't content, be prepared for a lot of moping and wounded looks that will make you feel guilty as hell. Leos love to spoil their women, even more than they love to spoil themselves...which is saying a lot. Leos love the finer things in life and will only want the best. They love to be the center of attention and will literally and figuratively always be found basking proudly in the limelight of their success. However, keep in mind that their display of ego is usually well-earned.
A Leo's Prayer: "Hi, Pop! I'll bet you're really proud to have me as your kid!"
How many Leos does it take to change a lightbulb? Leos don't change light bulbs, although sometimes their agent will get a Virgo to do the job for them while they're out.
A Leo's Daily Affirmation: I say nice things about myself. I do nice things for myself. I find someone to buy me nice things.
What a Leo says after sex: "Wasn't I fantastic?"
How to Bag & Tag
Act helpless and damsel-like. Leo men love to feel needed...it makes them feel all heroic and masculine. Once "rescued"...be prepared to show some gratitude. Luckily, Leo men are very easy to please. Stroke their ego, reassure them that you could not imagine the world without their presence and you'll have him purring in no time at all.
How to Get Rid of Him (Loonsounds)
Laugh at them instead of with them. Yawn when they are talking (don't cover your mouth.) Criticize their hair, then say you are only kidding. Remove all the mirrors. Majorly outshine them.
Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
They perform a colorful skit for you wherein they portray themselves as the hero/ine who tried, and failed, to ‘make it work' . They then flounce off with several of their long time admirers from the audience, leaving you clapping as they go.
Virgo
Virgo Male 101
Virgo (8/23 - 9/22): If you long for a life where everything is organized, then a Virgo man is tailor made for you. Virgo men value consistency above all else and will have a contingency plan for any event. Check their cupboards or medicine cabinets if you doubt me. Unfortunately, sometimes their nit-picky ways can be rather aggravating to some women. He won't understand why you are upset and trying to explain it to him will be met with a rather perplexed look. Obviously you are having one of your irrational womanly type moments. This sign also has more than its fair share of hypochondriacs and pessimists...so beware.
A Virgo's Prayer: "Dear God, please make the world a better place, and don't screw it up like you did the last time."
How many Virgos does it take to change a lightbulb? Approximately 1.0000000 with an error of +/- 1 millionth.
A Virgo's Daily Affirmation: "I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me."
What a Virgo says after sex: "I need to wash the sheets."
How to Bag & Tag
Chasteness and helpless disorganization. Virgo men don't usually go for the promiscuous type of women because they prefer quality over quantity. Ask them for advice on how to get more control of your life, your finances, your stock portfolio, your car's engine performance, the best cough medicine to use and then listen attentively. Whatever you do...do not ask for help with anything that is emotionally messy. He'll run...possibly in a state of complete panic.
How to Get Rid of Him (Loonsound)
Criticize them. Be extremely vague. Continue to have sex, but don't let them satisfy you. Blow your nose often, scattering used tissues all around the house. Call them at their job to chat.
Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
They drive you to a new apartment, give you the key. Inside you find it post-it notes stuck on every mirror, cabinet and appliance, each containing mind numbingly detailed details; recommendations on your life. When you glance out the window they're gone
Libra
Libra Male 101
Libra (9/23 - 10/22): Balance and harmony are what Libra men are all about. They appreciate beautiful things and while that might sound intimidating, understand that they don't always subscribe to the popular idea of beauty. In their opinion, only they can fairly judge what is beautiful and what is not. Libra men thrive in peaceful environments, so if you are a shrew...forget it. Nothing will turn off this man quicker than a woman screeching in his ear or nagging about what is to him an inconsequential matter. Libra men are great at rationalizing everything...even your emotions, which might actually cause you to scream...but don't. Libra men are notorious for being fickle, possibly an unavoidable side effect of their natural charm and charisma.
A Libran's Prayer: "Dear God, I know I should make decisions for myself. But, on the other hand, what do YOU think?"
How many Librans does it take to change a lightbulb? Er, two. Or maybe one. No - on second thought, make that two. Is that okay with you?
A Libran's Daily Affirmation: "To have a successful relationship I must learn to make it look like I'm giving as much as I'm getting."
What a Libran says after sex: "I liked it if you liked it."
How to Bag & Tag
Ask him out. No other sign appreciates a direct approach more than a Libra. But beware...if you ask him out to dinner and the meal sucks, he'll point out that it was your choice. Don't be offended...he can't help himself. Besides, he'll say it with one of those patented charming smiles on his face and you'll forgive him.
How to Get Rid of HIm (Loonsounds)
On your paired outings, gawk at other babes/dudes. Rant when they talk about their exes. Women: fart and belch a lot. Men: Scatter your soiled tighty whiteys (inside out) & miss the toilet
Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
They pen you a lovely thank you/apology note on their personal monogrammed stationary about all of the beautiful times they had with you ‘back iin the day.' It will arrive in your mailbox two days after they moved out, tucked into their wedding invitation.
Scorpio
Scorpio Male 101
Scorpio (10/23 - 11/21): Everyone has heard something about the sexual mystique of this astrological sign. It's true. Scorpio men are passionate to the point of excess...in everything they do. However, unlike other signs, they have an unnerving amount of self-control over their passions...which is probably what makes them so attractive. Scorpio men are ego personified. They feel they are superior and in some cases this might be justified, hence they usually can be seen with a rather smug, amused look on their faces and a bit of a strut to their walk. Never toy with a Scorpio...ever. Not only will you lose, but you'll probably need a fire extinguisher to put out the flames that just engulfed your ass. However, if you like to play with fire...as I do...a Scorpio man can be very challenging and fun.
A Scorpio's Prayer: "Dear God, help me forgive my enemies, even if the bastards don't deserve it."
How many Scorpios does it take to change a lightbulb? That information is strictly secret and shared only with the Enlightened Ones in the Star Chamber of the Ancient Hierarchical Order.
A Scorpio's Daily Affirmation: "I have the power to channel my imagination into ever-soaring levels of suspicion and paranoia."
What a Scorpio says after sex: "Perhaps I should untie you now."
How to Bag & Tag
Throw down the gauntlet. Scorpios love a challenge. Once you have managed to catch his attention, make him chase you around a bit before letting him win. I don't mean running around the coffee table a few times...even though later he might enjoy that, I mean mentally and emotionally...allow him to think he is manipulating everything to get closer to you. He doesn't ever need to know that he's walked right into your trap. Trust me...it's one secret you want to keep to yourself. Scorpios can get downright nasty when they find out that it wasn't them pulling the strings.
How to Get Rid of Him (Loonsounds)
Stop hiding things. Tell them you are renouncing sex for Lent or call them by the wrong name during sex. Make unilateral decisions on everything. Always be late. And you drive. Period.
Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
You come home and your keys don’t work. When you try to break in the police come and arrest you for violation of a restraining order you didn’t know existed. From jail you receive an autographed copy of their new scandalous publication namely, The Unauthorized Biography of You.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius Male 101
Sagittarius (11/23 – 12/21): If there was ever a knight in shining armor in the zodiac, Sagittarius would be it. Unfortunately, they’re more like Don Quixote than Sir Lancelot. They pick the strangest causes…usually the lost ones…to fight for. Sagittarian men are brutally honest. If they tell you that you need to lose a few pounds because you are starting to look like a heifer, they will be completely baffled about why you are offended. It’s just the truth…geesh. You can usually recognize a Sagittarian male by the fact that he usually has at least one foot stuffed into his mouth at all times. However, on the flip side…there is a lot to be said for honesty. They just don’t understand the word tact.
A Sagittarian’s Prayer: "OH ALMIGHTY, ALL KNOWING, ALL-LOVING, ALL-POWERFUL, OMNIPRESENT, EVERLASTING GOD, IF I'VE ASKED YOU ONCE, I'VE ASKED YOU A THOUSAND TIMES --- HELP ME STOP EXAGGERATING!!!!!!!!!!"
How many Sagittarians does it take to change a light bulb? The sun is shining, the day is young and we've got our whole lives ahead of us, and you're inside worrying about a stupid light bulb?
A Sagittarian’s Daily Affirmation: “I am willing to make the mistakes if someone else is willing to learn from them.”
What a Sagittarian says after sex: “Don't call me - I'll call you.”
How to Bag & Tag
Be smart and give him lots of room. Sagittarian men need lots of space to explore and feed their endless curiosity. Don’t be jealous of his natural tendency to talk to complete strangers…everybody interests him. Once he’s realized that you aren’t going to hobble him, he’ll hand you his leash…albeit a very long leash.
How to Get Rid of Him (Loonsounds)
Cry whenever they are painfully honest. Threaten suicide on their cell while they are overseas. Take the only vehicle, then stay out all night. Hide their keys. Make them to-do lists
Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
You no longer fit into your own bed because they let all their dogs growl and snap at you when you try to sneak in. Later when you ‘mistakenly’ glance in their suitcase, you see a 12 pack of condoms (you don’t use them) and the book:Breaking Up for Dummies..
Capricorn
Capricorn Male 101
Capricorn (12/22 – 1/20): Once again we have a man that prefers quality over quantity. There will be women he may toy with, but there is a difference between those women and the one he will introduce to his family and friends. Image is everything to the Capricorn man. He considers himself upwardly mobile…socially, financially, emotionally. He will never tolerate a woman that drags him down. On the outside, he may appear a taciturn loner…but that is only because he is always aware of his responsibilities and takes them seriously. But get past that façade and you’ll find a man who has some amazing dreams. The difference between Capricorn men and other men is that he usually finds a way to make those dreams a reality through hard work and determination. It takes a lot to deter a Capricorn from his course of action, but once he makes that decision it’s an abrupt one and there’s never any turning back.
A Capricorn’s Prayer: "Dear Father, I was going to pray, but I guess I ought to figure things out for myself. Thanks anyway
How many Capricorns does it take to change a lightbulb? I don't waste my time with these childish jokes.
A Capricorn’s Daily Affirmation: “I no longer need to punish, deceive, or compromise myself, unless I want to stay employed.”
What a Capricorn says after sex: “Do you have a business card?”
How to Bag & Tag
The goat is tricky to catch simply because he is so careful about his choices. You can’t really fool him by being something you are not for as long as it will take to convince him to take a chance. I will say this though, if you come across as being equally choosy, have a good dose of healthy self-respect and take pride in your appearance…a Capricorn just might decide to put you through your paces to see if you measure up. You can’t really fault them for this though…they truly do have a lot to offer a woman.
How to Get Rid of Him (Loonsounds)
Do everything to excess. Hang all over them in public. Get drunk at their office party, and make out with their colleague’s spouse. Stop strangers with strollers to drool over the babies.
Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
Instead of splitting the check at your birthday celebration as usual, they lay it all on you, along with a ‘what’s yours what’s mine’ check list, and copies in triplicate of all the prenuptial agreements, attorneys documents, and zero balance savings.
Aquarius
Aquarius Male 101
Aquarius (1/21 – 2/19): Aquarians are naturally friendly and consider everyone to be their buddy, their pal or their mate. They have a tough time getting truly serious about any one woman and when they do, it is a rather threatening feeling. They’re natural dawdlers when it comes to declaring their intentions…usually. It’s not that they want to lose you…they are just rather uncomfortable with deep emotions. They prefer to keep things light and easy.
An Aquarian’s Prayer: "Hi God! Some say you're a man. Some say you're a woman. I say we're ALL God. So, why pray? Let's have a party!"
How many Aquarians does it take to change a lightbulb? Well, you have to remember that everything is energy, so...
An Aquarian’s Daily Affirmation: “In some cultures what I do would be considered normal.”
What an Aquarian says after sex: “Now let's try it with our clothes off!”
How to Bag & Tag
Keep secrets. If you are one of those overly-chatty types that divulge everything about yourself in the first fifteen minutes, you won’t stand a chance. You’ll notice a strong reaction to your mysterious behavior and while it’s not what you expected, it’s a sign that you are succeeding. Aquarian men get downright cantankerous when they can’t solve a puzzle. They’ll turn their back on you and walk off in a huff…and then their curiosity gets the better of them and they’ll be back trying to pry those secrets out of you. Give them plenty of rope and just allow them to gradually hang themselves.
How to Get Rid of Him (Loonsounds)
Loudly oppose their latest cause. Initiate daily heart to heart chats about your personal feelings and moods. Tell them what to wear. Reiterate: “Baby, it’s me and you against the world.”
Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
What makes you think you were ever paired up with Aquarius to begin with? What happens when you hold a magnifying glass over a hologram or view it through a telescope? What about a reflection of a rainbow as seen in a mirror?
Pisces
Pisces Male 101
Pisces (2/20 – 3/20): More moody than a Cancerian and with less control than a Scorpio…we come to the old man of the zodiac, Pisces. Unfortunately, their experiences in life heavily influence their outlook. If the world has been kind to them and they’ve found a measure of success, then you will know immediately by their tendency toward a cheerfully dreamy disposition heavily laced with optimism and romance. Beware the Pisces that has suffered miserably. If you want that experience, just tie a boulder around your neck and jump off the nearest bridge. Otherwise, Pisces men are very compassionate and tender souls.
A Piscean’s Prayer: "Heavenly Father, as I prepare to consume this last fifth of Scotch to drown out my pain and sorrow, may my inebriation be for Thy greater Honor and Glory."
How many Pisceans does it take to change a lightbulb? Lightbulb? What lightbulb?
A Piscean’s Daily Affirmation: “As I learn the innermost secrets of people around me, they reward me in many ways to keep me quiet.”
What a Piscean says after sex: “What did you say your name was?”
How to Bag & Tag
Show you care. Hold their hand and indulge in all the silly little romantic gestures you want. They love that kind of thing. Listen to them. Keep a well-stocked bar and buy tissue in bulk.
How to Get Rid of Him (Loonsounds)
Quit drinking (or at least, quit drinking with them). Overuse the word budget. Make them give you every detail of their day. Share athletes foot. Go #2 while they are trapped in the bathtub.
Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
You’re confused. They just went ‘poof.’ . Slowly you convince yourself that he/she is sick/ maimed/dead. Longing for closure, you launch a global search. Truth be told, they’re only drunk (again) and getting laid (again), this time on some garden rooftop uptown.

As a Taurus I must say i somewhat resemble that depiction, as long as there is a snack and somewhere comfortable and warm to sit.
dear spryte
"Signs You've Been Dumped (Loonsounds)
They drive you to a new apartment, give you the key. Inside you find it post-it notes stuck on every mirror, cabinet and appliance, each containing mind numbingly detailed details; recommendations on your life. When you glance out the window they're gone"
and I thought you would understand!
Wow, Spryte,
This is extensive and I am impressed-- I really like the graphics-- you did them, right?
I once met a humorist/astrogloger at a writer's conference who writes a column in a national magazine and has written several books including "Born on a Rotten Day". I asked her why I am so shy and retiring as a Leo-- and she had a logical-sounding answer. Oddly I was born on the same date (not year) as Bert Lahr who played the Cowardly Lion in the Wizard of Oz.
I have been married to an Aquarian man for many, many many years-- Your good and bad lists match him pretty well in many ways.
Anyhow this is a great hub-- all-inclusive, to say the least.
What's Your sign? (not trying to pick you up.)
Wicked Hub Spryte, and the definitions fit really well )as far as the signs of which I know people if that makes sense in English). Very funny. Are you going to do one for women too???
I married an Aquarius. It took me SEVEN FRICKIN' YEARS, but I did bag him. And all of your Aquarius descriptors are dead on, good and bad.
Now, the fun things is that I'm an Aries and, though while I'm not a man, your descriptors for that all fit me. So we've paired someone who's impatient with someone who's a committment-phobe.
'Twas a long seven years.
Great hub!
Eric - Spoken like a true Aquarian :) Well...I can't say I've ever seen you cranky so I'll take your word for it that you are a good Aquarian.
Bob - I adore Taurens...but I'm a Cancer, so it's to be expected. Thanks for dropping in and that's no bull! (okay...that was bad).
Aggie...dear, Aggie: Of course I understand! After reading all of those post-it notes, you were merely running to the corner store...right?
Rochelle - I wish I could take credit for those marvelous graphics, but I can't. How ironic that Bert Lahr was a Leo and played the Cowardly Lion! Oh, and it's not unusual to find a shy pussycat in the Leo bunch...not all lions roar. You know that picture of the cat looking into a mirror and seeing a lion...it's a perfect image for the shyer Leos.
Aquarian hmmm? That's an interesting combination! Do you have to bite your tongue often? LOL!
I'm a Cancer...to the core. Both the good and the bad. My husband is an Aries...the one sign I've been told to avoid at all costs. Hahah! So it keeps life interesting.
OK so we both have married aversarial signs. Yes, it does stay interesting. Bite my tongue? No, I'm the Reluctant Lioness. After 47 years we have kind of adjusted.
Misty - Whatever do you mean...am I gonna write one for women? Geesh, lady...this is for women! I'm not about to divulge astrological secrets of how to bag and tag women to men. That would simply be disastrous! ;) And not nearly as fun....of course. :) I'm still waiting for the person to come in and say, "Ha! This isn't me at all! What rubbish!"
Em - Oh dear...you have my complete and utter sympathy...not to mention amazement that you endured 7 years. I've seen my own husband when he is forced to wait for five minutes...never mind 7 years...and I just try to get as far away as possible. LOL! It's a good combination though...and it makes sense. You...being a Cardinal Fire sign are nothing if not totally committed once you have made a decision. He was bound to succumb. Well done...you bagged yourself a good one.
Rochelle - Then there is hope for me! LOL! My husband and I will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary (we've both been married before) this month and I'm looking forward to many more with him.
Fits every man I have ever dated or married to a tee. Uncanny! If you need me, I will be sitting in a cozy corner noshing on chips with Mr. Ewing!
Shame Spryte, I would love a definition of a few women's birth signs that I know, including my own, but if you can do mine based on the dates and times I gave you I shall be happy :)
Must go to sleep now, after 03.08am here. Catch up tomorrow :)
MM - Didn't Bob say he had a really nice tea kettle?...perhaps we could put on some water, make up some nice cups of tea....or cocoa...I think I'm going to just stay here in the corner with you!
Misty - N'nite sweetie. Trust me...yours will be much better than anything else. AND it will be in hub format so that EVERYONE can enjoy it!
That was so entertaining Spryte.
I'm an Astrologer myself, but not the Tropical kind, so I make the 23 degree adjustment in line with the sky and it fits better for me.
Great Hub. I always loved Linda Goodman's books and in school used to discuss endlessly about zodiac signs. Ok here is an open question for anybody: What male sign is the most compatible zodiac sign for an Aries Women?
spryte - brilliant fun hub - I am a cancer married to a taurean and the hub fits him to a T! particularly the "Dear God, please help me accept CHANGE in my life, but NOT YET." My first husband was/is a cancer - now that was really interesting...... this hub seems to suit him also. cheers and thanks for another good one.
Dont know much about this, but when i was teaching ESL to a nationally diverse group of children, the Chinese girls seemed somewhat awestruck to find out that I was a Horse. Still not sure what that was about-- My husband is a Rat, and I mean that in the best possible way.
I'm with both Spryte & Rochelle - I'm a Virgo and have been told to stay away from Gemini & Aires...1st husband was Gemini & current Aires. And you hit both descriptions dead on! Another fun hub :-)
Wonderful Hub is have got here. I also use sunsigns to understand how a person would be..
Jewels - Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
CW - An aries woman should be out hunting Gemini, Leo, Libra and Sagittarius men. You need a strong and decisive man in your life if he's going to handle that Aries personality! And he'll have to have a strong sense of adventure too!
Ajcor - What a lovely combination Cancer/Taurus is! I bet you never have to worry about being cold at night :) I'm so glad you could drop in and leave a comment...thank you!
Rochelle- That girl in your class must be talking about the 12 chinese zodiac signs comprising of various animals... Here is the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_astrology
Oh spryte Thank You.. Thank you (Now a Big smile on my face)...LOL
Ofcourse others are free to give their opinion too (Btw my dad was Leo and I love their Majestic bearing at the same time soft protective nature)...LOL
Did CW get an answer as to the best/most compatible sign for an Aries woman? AJcor, you and I are mirror images. I'm a Taurus married (happily) to a Cancer. Spryte, Bob didn't mention which snacks specifically he likes or anything about a kettle.And he seems to have disappeared! But I've got a teapot at the ready. Anyone who wants to stay and have, as our dear friend/First Lady would say, a "cuppa," is most welcome.
Yes, Countrywomen-- I've looked at the descriptions-- each animal sign has variations like earth, water, fire and a couple more--I'm a Water Horse which seems to fit pretty well.
I'm forever reading those placemats in Chinese restaurants which tell you what your sign is! I'm a Rabbit and my husband is a Dragon...and they both seem to emphasize our Cancer/Aries selves.
Dineane - However do you reconcile the clutter of an Aries with the neatness of a Virgo? Do you meet in the middle on it...or is one of you an unsually neat Aries or a relaxed Virgo?
Anamika - You sound just like I did when I first started my astrology addiction! Thanks for stopping in and leaving a comment!
CW - I'm so glad I could make you happy!!! :)
MM - I can't think of anything more I'd like to be doing this evening than sitting in a cozy corner with all my friends :)
MM- The First Lady is taking her beauty sleep but Iam up for some tea (can you please pass me some milk and sugar)... Btw is it black tea? I usually prefer black tea but otherwise if it's green tea then maybe that's good for me (the secret of the chinese girls for their slim and trim figure)...LOL
My brother keeps joking he wants to marry a chinese girl coz me and mom are little healthy due to our Indian genes..hehe
Spryte - You can be quite a darling if not for those secret "gas bombs" missions that we have known you to be famous for....LOL
CW - LOL! Yeah..I can be quite the little stinker at times. I still have yet to outdo the hubby though. He emitted a black cloud so noxious one time that it had be running, gagging the entire way, from the room. *shudders still at the memory*
Chinese women are healthier than Indian women? This I did not even suspect! I always figured it would be the other way around...and I'm not even sure why I would think that.
I take my tea like CW's, MM...if you are pouring.
Spryte- Thanks for spilling the beans. Now that's quite competition going on (Now I know the real reason for Global warming).. Please for the sake of the world stop eating beans...LOL
Indian women, if they don't watch out tend to be "well rounded". I envy them for being able to stay slim (I infact once bought the green herbal tea for slimming but my Indian genes prevailed over the chinese ingrediants)..LOL
MM - Where are you? We are getting impatient and may start another revolution aka Boston Tea Party...hehe
A former boss of mine was Indian and he brought in some of his wife's clothing for us to wear on Indian New Year. After trying to wriggle my American frame into it and not succeeding I came to one conclusion...Indian women may be nicely rounded as you say, but they have a bird's bone structure. LOL!
Well we are very spongy and that can be pretty deceptive measure if one can fit in or not is the yardstick. I mean I can squeeze into the old jeans(but can't move then) or track pants but still I do look a little well endowed esp when I occasionally do go for swimming in the summer.
What a fun hub! I loved reading Linda Goodman's Love Signs as well as her Sun Signs. Ever thought of putting this together as a book? With those illustrations and the wonderful humour, it's sure to be a best seller :)
Your Scorpio male is bang on - I'm a Gemini and I've been on a great rollercoaster ride for 17 years!
Shalini - Thanks for the wonderful comments! Luckily, I had some assistance with the graphics and a portion of the writing contributions as well...so this would most definitely be a collaborative effort!
How clever of you to have landed a Scorpio male! However, being a Gemini...I bet he never even saw it coming did he? :)
And CW - You don't look very spongy to me...but I hear ya on the track pants. I own several pair of wonderful yoga pants that I wouldn't part with for the world!
Truth be told spryte, I never saw it coming LOL - but no regrets whatsoever!!
PS: Collaborative efforts as wonderful as this make great bestsellers too :)
What? No mention of me? Not a word? No scratching behind my ears. Oh...ok...I'll just be over here with a hangdog look. Can't believe it.
Seriously, what a fun hub! This one could draw a lot of outside readership. I would love to tell you how wrong you are about Leos, but I can't. Too damn accurate!
Christoph - WOW! Are you a Leo? My dad is a leo too.
Spryte- Iam trying to reduce the spongy part from unmentionable places....LOL
CW: yes, I'm a Leo. I saw Spryte said you should be looking for a Leo (wink, wink).
I wonder how many hubbers are Leo? Aren't writers supposed to be introverted and solitary?
My dad is a leo too. I find them so majestic, strong personality but a very soft heart(very protective too). I guess the reason I like your persona without even knowing your zodiac was the kind of personality you are, also shows in your writing/comments. I don't know if it's the right way of perceiving guys but I do endup measuring guys to my dad.
Shalini - Even better...a Scorpio chasing you! Don't worry...I won't ask for any of the details... but I bet they're good!
Christoph - I did everything but say your name! :) Thanks for the inspiration by the way...if I hadn't given you that scratch behind the ear, this hub would not exist.
CW - If you figure out the secret to doing that...let me know! I have some rather spongey parts too. Hah!
And I think Leo men are usually as you describe...big hearted and with tender feelings. It's sometimes hard to remember when they come across as so in charge and larger than life, that their feelings can be hurt with a casual remark.
Rochelle - That is what I'm hoping to find out with the poll. Do certain signs gravitate to writing more than others. I hope we have enough of a response to get a decent idea.
Can't wait for my Horoscope reading Spryte, it will be interesting to see if everyone else thinks it fits with my personaility once they see it. :)
Misty - I'll probably blow the dust off of some of my research material and look into it a bit today...but not until I finish or make a little headway in the hub I'm currently working on...and have a cup of coffee. *Yawn* Good morning btw!
No problem Spryte, whenever you get time would be great. Good morning to you too. It is now 16.51pm here, and Richard and I are are going out to the lake to watch fireworks in an hour or so. Don't know what time I shall get back online tonight, if at all, as we are having friends round too. If not, I shall catch up tomorrow :)
Okies Misty! Just finished that hub I was working on...so I have the day to myself. Hubby had to fly up to Seattle early this morning on business so it's either enjoy my computer time without interruption or housework. Gee...I wonder which one I should pick? :)
Uh...definitely housework. That's what I do.
What an interesting hub...informative and intertaining. I was born 3/21, but I'm not much of a ram. I pretty much swim with the fish (the good ones of course). I've always thought it amazing how astrology seems to blueprint our persoanlities.
Christoph: Thanks for volunteering! Now grab that cute little maid outfit I sent you and get your butt over here. :)
Ana - A cusper! I've always thought that had to be tricky...but it's kind of neat that you can look at two and take your pick. My youngest sister falls between the cusp of Cancer and Leo, and while she definitely has a lot of Cancerian traits...she has some rather lethal paw action at times! Thanks for dropping in and commenting!
ROFL at the whole thing, but the scorpio one is my favorite. LOL! Lots of work reflected here and a great job Spryte.
Spryte- Can't imagine Poor Mr.President helping out with your housework. Btw your hubby is coming to our beautiful seattle. Wish you were with him (since I would love to meet such a bubbly fun person).
Christoph - Can I tell you some more things about Leo's (since my dad was one). They can be generous to a fault and highly susceptible to flattery (They maybe taken for a ride for their kind and good heart) Hence I hope Leo's watch out for those people who may take you guys for a ride by pandering to your pride. Just be that warm and generous person to only your closest family and friends...Just my two cents.
You always amaze me what you can pull out of a hat. LOL. I am a Taurus...those damn Democrates, I'd rather be a mule..... and on the cusp of gemini. A Libra guy that I married 25 years ago lives in the same house. That's all I can say, this hub is way to much fun for me!
Pam - Thank you! Oh I do have a wonderful tale that one day I will tell and Shadesbreath will hate to no end about a wonderful sting operation I pulled on a Scorpio. *grins* Luckily he never found out...but oh it was so much fun!
CW - I just got off the phone with hubby and he's getting ready to come home from your fair city. Cloudy with impending rain, is what he has told me the current weather is. How do you stand so much rain???? If he ever invites me to go with him, I'll make it a point to let you know. It would be fun to meet you!
Dottie: :) I'm so glad you enjoyed this hub and got a kick (?) out of the donkey/bull thing. At the time, I wasn't sure how it would go over so I'm very happy that it was appreciated. Taurus/Libra...hmmm. I rather like that combination, but I'll bet you've had to put your hoof down a time or two!
LOL...you are correct, I've had to put my hoof down a time or two or three or four. But that's not fair cuz he's not here to defend himself. To make matters more interesting around here, my son is a Taurus like me and my daughter is a Libra like him. She too is on a cusp; of Virgo. It was like having 6 people here instead of 4. :)
Dottie - Actually...7. Gemini is the sign of the twins :P
Don't you worry about your hubby having to defend himself...you've been extraordinarily gentle and tactful as far as I can see. He's a very lucky man.
Damn, you really did put a ton of time in this. I have to say, I only sort of agree with the Sagitarius stuff. The the idea of self-proclaimed knighthood is true, and I might even by the Don Quixote thing too a little. I am brutally honest, but I don't wonder why people are offended, if they are, I know I botched my attempt at tact. The Bag and Tag thing was dead on though.
I got to say, I laughed pretty hard at the concept of "he-sheep" up top. That was classic. And, Virgo isn't the only one who looks at chick stuff and thinks "obviously you are having one of your irrational womanly type moments." I'm pretty sure that's universal to all men who have ever spent more than three hours with a woman. :P
Nice work. An impressive effort and I can believe it was hard to cage this beast.
Shade - Not in a MILLION years would I have ever pegged you for a Sagittarian. Now I'm itching to take a look at what else you might have influencing you because surely there must be some Scorpio, Virgo or Leo action running rampant in there. Maybe even Gemini...who the hell knows.
I have to admit, I had a LOT of fun with the Aries male since that's what my husband is. I'll know he's read it when he starts walking...err...stomping around the house with a petulant look as he mutters, "who are you calling childish?" :)
And yeah...that Virgo line is rather universal isn't it? I thought the same thing when I typed it. LOL!
So spryte...are you saying I'm 3 people in 1? That makes him triple lucky! Maybe he'll believe that in the next 25 years! lol
Dottie: LOL! That does make you sound rather schizophrenic doesn't it? But there you go...just tell the hubby he won the trifecta! Or the triple crown!! See...good things always come in threes.
You are brilliant spryte....I see only one slight problem with this but nothing that I can't fix. I will tell him he won the hat trick since he loves hockey and won't change the fact that good things always come in threes.
Yo! Go Bruins!!! :)
spryte there you go jumping to conclusions, being the true virgo I took too long to select just the right potato chips (crinkle v flat etc) and the cola ( pepsi v coke v sprite ) and by the time I got back you had hitched up your wagon and disappeared.
I cried for at least oh 2 mins.!
btw is a virgo compatable with a birthday 20th Jan.?
Go Bruins! Hubby brought home tickets from work to Bruins game Thursday! We played our Canadien friends, the Toronto Maple Leafs. During the 3rd period my hubby dropped his beer into the hood of the woman sitting in front of him. She jumped up and the beer flew out of the hood and dumped all over her boyfriend. But then again all good things come in threes. Bruin Rookie Blake Wheeler got the hat trick.
Aggie! I got hungry...but I feel better now. Nothing a tuna sammich and a cup of tomato soup with crumbled up saltines in it can't cure.
Are you kidding me? Virgo with a Capricorn/Aquarius person is a great combination. I'm guessing the person in question is your wife? An Aquarian is one of your top choices and a 20/1 person would be on the cusp of that sign despite being a Capricorn. While a Capricorn seems to be up in the air as far as some astrologists are concerned, I would think that their upwardly mobile bent would do a lot to soothe a Virgo's sense of placid order and attention to detail. I'm guessing that the two of you have been a great working team, able to reach whatever goals you have set for yourselves.
Dottie - That sounds like alcohol abuse to me! :) And wooot! for Blake Wheeler! Did the Bruins win? I haven't been following much hockey of late.
No alcohol abuse spryte. Just a fumble. It was only his first beer and drank only 1/2. It's those cheap plastic Boston Garden cups that can be hard to juggle when you lose grip. Bruins won 3-1! There's that three again! lol
*sigh* I miss New England sports...
Although, I must confess i've been so ticked off about Brady that I haven't even worn my Pats jersey ONCE this season.
Spryte- I just got back home from the library (Saturday/Sunday volunteer at the local library). It would be lots of fun to meet you. Well rain is fine with me(Esp curling up on my sofa reading a book and overlooking from my window on a saturday afternoon watching rain and having hot chocolate)...hehe Btw I am a very bad snow driver(hence no east coast for me)...LOL
Btw no news of our Mr.President (I just wanted to see if he fits the bill of what I think of leos since my dad happens to be one). I have my brother who is a Scorpion well actually close to being a cusp between scorpio & Sagittarius. My brother is a scorpio and they can be pretty aggressive in a subtle way. They are also extremely ambitious but not make it open like my dad who is a leo does. Scorpio also never forgets a hurt caused and has the knack of remembering to unleash that when the other person least expects it. Leo's are simply natural at getting all the attention and they seem so childlike (including getting hurt sometimes like a child). Scorpio tends to keep their emotions as closely guarded as possible. These are two men in my life so far (my dad and my bro). I leave it to others to decide what they think about my experiences.
RRROOOOOOOAAAAARRR!
Oooh I tawt I taw a putty tat! :) Hey Christoph!
CW - I have a younger sister who is a Scorpio...she's simply the female version of your brother!
spryte thanks for the reassurance after nearly 50 years I was starting to wonder.
Hi Spryte
Very amusing! I'm a Capricorn married to my second Pisces. Yes, I know, I'm a sucker for punishment. I'm not sure that my current resembles your description too closely (he doesn't drink), but there are definitely a few similarities!
What a fun hub! I am a Libra, my hubby was a Leo, my daughter is a Libra, my son is a Taurus and my granddaughter is also a Leo. I always wonder how my granddaughter would have gotten along with her Leo grandfather. It's too sad he passed away long before she was born. I know for a fact he would have spoiled her rotten :)
And, not only is my best friend a Libra, my brother is also a Libra, and I see the Libra male has a lot of the same qualities as a Libra woman. Interesting, that explains why we get along so well.
And now, Christoph! A Leo! No wonder I like you so much. Let me pull a Sarah Palin here, and just say 'wink-wink'. :)
Aggie: I figured that was why you asked :P Now get up there and fill out that poll. It says we have no Virgos and yet there you are...
Amanda: LOL! Glutton for emotional punishment...that's what you are! :) Then again I'm one to talk sitting here opposite my Aries mate who keeps asking me to turn around and "check this out"...so who am I to talk? It sounds like you've found a more evolved specimen this time around...so good job! :)
Trish: Thank you! I'm so glad you had fun here and wow! That's a houseful there. There's a lot to be said for Leo Dads I think and you are right, he would have spoiled his granddaughter rotten...and she would have adored him back. Sometimes Leos have issues with each other over who is doing the ruling...so parent/sibling relationships can be tough in the teen years...but in the case of grandchildren its usually not a direct issue and even less so when it's opposing genders. I happen to adore Leo females...they're so much fun.
Hi Spryte. Cancerian to the core. My previous wife was a Leo and my dearly beloved is a Sagittarius as was my father and my late son. My son and dearly beloved were both born on the 29th of November.
Great fun hub. Who believes in this stuff anyway? Well me for one!
Sixty - One of my favorite fellow-hubbers and fellow-Cancerians! *hugs* Btw...I'm the 17th...what is yours?
Well, looks like I am with Shades here, Sagitarius and married to a pisces. I don't know what any of that means, but this very interesting none the less.
You did spend a lot of time on this, great job, it is fun to look at the different signs and compare them to people I know, as in my family. I have a capricorn, leo, and aries in my house, it's a jungle in here.
Gwendy - Another Sagittarian. I must admit I'm surrprised there are so many of you running around out in the hubs and all with such different writing styles. Although...come to think of it, you, Shade and Misty all do have one trait in common and that's straightforward honesty and occasionally bluntness. You all just wield it a bit differently.
I adore Capricorns...but I haven't met a whole hell of a lot of them. I wonder why that is?
Yep, that is me, straight forward and blunt, it gets me into a lot of trouble. I am always sticking my foot in my mouth, maybe one of these days it will get so far in there that I won't be able to say anything, which of course would be for the good. LOL, I am a mess like that. I wonder why you haven't come across many capricorns? I have two in my family, my sister and my oldest daughter. It's funny that I get along with my dauhter most of the time but me and my sister have never really gotten along that well. I wonder why that is? My younger daughter the aries is always butting heads with me in true aries style. My son the leo, he is such a non complainer, he never has a complaint about anything, and of course he has a pretty big ego, but I might be responsible for that.
It's funny but I can only recall with clarity ONE Capricorn that I met...and I'm still trying to figure out how I even got that much information out of him, considering the circumstances of that particular meeting. (Mysterious I know...but it's a long story and one I may tell some day).
Nah...your Leo son will always have a big ego, and you are EXPECTED to feed it. :) As for your daughter, it's her job as an Aries to butt heads with people...all you can do is make sure she's not butting it against a lost cause. Aries never really know the difference and figure they can solve any problem eventually that way.
Your wish is my command, your wish!
Spryte, I am glad you are on. I need a female perspective. Are you up for it? It is long and I'm just not sure what I think about making it a public hub. I would appreciate your thoughts on this one.
I'm here too G-mom if you need... xo, MM
MM Thanks! I'm in a bit of a battle on my Timmy hub with Misha. LOL! Or I would, Gwendy. If you want to come and peek...both of you...you'll see why.
I can only imagine. Let me guess. Misha is advocating that internet predators are good people and probably deserve to be a protected class or some such. I'll go check the action!
Thanks MM and lol...sort of.
Who says Leo's have a big ego? I'm too perfect to have an ego!
...A Perfectly BIG ego :)
Hop on your horse and come help me save Little Timmy, cowboy.
MM, thanks for your offer I truly apprecite it. I might need support and love from firends when and if I publish it. I have given my password to Spryte and Christoph for their opinion for another hub I had written and I think I better keep it to a minimum for people who have my password. This does not mean that I do not trust you oe anything like that, but I know that Spryte will give me an honest answer and a female perspective that I could use. That is why I did not have Christoph read it. I hope that neither one of you are offended by this.
Sprite I am 29th of June.
Gwendy - I'll go and take a look at it now. Misha must be reading the stuff I sent to him. :) Which one is it?
Sixty - A perfectly good date...but I was hoping we'd have the same one. LOL!
it is men are stupid.
i might have to change the title as I wrote it when I was a little mad.
Thank you.
Okies :) Let me take a peek
Is it about men? Just teasing you...
Gwen...I'm back.
ok, I am here.
Er Gwen I think you better send that last comment to limbo?
don't forget they can be recovered!
What comment did Gwen make that should be sent to limbo?
Hey gang. G-mom, I'm glad you got some 1-on-1 Spryte time!!! Chris and Ag (aka PP), hi gentlemen. I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. I just wrote about mine in my newest rant hub. But now I'm off to zzzzland. Dad was taken to the hospital tonight after Hubby and I left. So I will be heading back over there tomorrow. Gotta get a little kitty squish in to boost my stamina.
This time I will be taking my trusty Internet therapist (aka HubPages) with me for relief! Hugs to all who need them... as I know they will be returned to me in kind.
Ag, I don't think there will be a publishing of the hub. I just needed to spill my guts. More so for myself to just get it out of me. It was a pretty persoanl thing in my life and it has been eating at me for awhile. I don't usually talk to my family or even my close friends about my most intiment moments because I reallly am a private person (based on the things I say here you probably didn't know that about me) and I know that the people in my life have to still look at me and my husband and make their decision about us based on things like what is going on now. I would never ask anyone to choose sides, or say a bad thing about my husband that made him look like an ass and then expect my family be ok with it. That kind of thing is ust not fair to anyone. So basically I haven't talked to anyone about it and it has just become a huge burden for me that I needed to get rid of. Sorry if you are dissapointed.
MM, Thank you, I am glad I got it too. I hope everything is ok with your family. Hugs to you sweetie!
Spryte, I am off to bed and wanted to express my thanks to you one more time. Good night and sweet dreams.
N'nite Gwendy - sweet dreams.
I'm going to take that comment and those relating to them to limbo now...just in case when you wake up. I'm just gonna do the discreet thing...but let me know if you feel differently. 'K hon?
Hi
I'm a Pisces, February 25 or a CUSP ?
Very good description of the male virgo! Both Matt and I are virgo's and our mutual OCD either works out very well or causes huge fights (example- Matt changed the organization of MY books from alpha by author and within author by publish year to biggest to smallest...ergh. Good thing he doesn't have access to my CDs! I think I'm getting hives just thinking about all the things of mine he could reorganize and screw up!!!).
Anywoo...thanks for helping me kill more time at work in a fun way. Between your hubs and darwinawards.com I can get through the week. : )
Rowan: What?! Everyone knows that personal books should be put in alpha order! *shudder* What kind of OCD monster are you living with!!! :)
It would drive me nuts too. Luckily, the hubby doesn't have an organizational bone in his body...but then again, that's sometimes worse.
*hugs*
Get back to work!
Hiya Sun Sand - No cusp for you! You are all Pisces. :)
I hope you will do write How to Tag & Bag Any Woman Using Astrology soon :)
cgull - Unfortunately, I'll have to leave that up to a man to do since portions of this were drawn from experience and I have none when it comes to picking up women. :)
Hey, just wanted to say that the good cancer and bad cancer totally fits my fiance. He's the complete opposite to me. I'm a Capricorn. I would say that I'm a little more open minded although that could be because of life experience. I do have nice taste. The only difference is that he isn't a momma's boy, more of the father's boy, lmao. Oh well, I'm dealing with that as best I can. lmao. Good job though. Kept reading and reading. Very funny and cute.
froggie: You take good care of your Cancer guy! And he would be the complete opposite of you since he's completely opposite your sign on the zodiac chart. I happen to think though that it's a winning combination. You'll keep the eye on the prize and he'll be willing to not do anything that won't get you there...how can you lose? You'll just have to deal with all that Cancerian moodiness along the way and make sure to give him a rah rah speech if he gets all gloom and doom...but I assure you, from the bottom of my unbiased Cancerian heart, that it'll be worth it.
He actually thinks it's easier to remember the size of the book instead of the author. Ugh. Next husband I have will enjoy reading as much as I do! : )
It's definitely a good idea to keep a list at hand for when you do consider upgrading. ;) LOL!
Wow, spryte, this is excellent! I laughed so much my daughter kept asking me what the joke was... any plans to do one specifically for women?
Hi Spryte - just back from a few days away - and thought to tell you that I was married to a cancer first time around and it wasn't pretty - cancer/cancer - but my second son was born on my birthday 7/2 and we are remarkably compatible. My older son is a Sag. and is a traveller (as is no 2 son) and ambitious but in the right way (sheer hard work). I see from your hub that sixtorso, You, me and who else are Cancers?
I once read a book that said that astrological signs can also be categorised by their emotional personalities - e.g. Cancer "I feel" and Acquarius "I know" Pisces "I am" etc. Unfortunately am unable to find the book and that is all I can remember. Maybe Leo could be "I roar" Capricorn "I will" Gemini "Me too" cheers.
ps gwendymom I knew that you were a wise woman! always good to write somethingout and get rid of it. .
Hi Nicole: I'm certainly glad I made you laugh out loud! :) I'm not sure how well I could do one on women since this list was compiled after much research (dating) and I've never dated a woman before...but perhaps I could find something or approach it from a different angle. I'll think on it some more and see if it's doable.
Hmmm...Ajcor, now that you mention it, I do recall reading something about the "I feel" and "I know" sort of thing. This will probably bug me until I remember it. Unfortunately, you are right that sometimes same sign relationships don't work out. Two Cancers together would probably butt heads quite often since they are both natural born leaders...and when you double the tendency to be able to depress yourself, it can be rather melodramatic. However, when it's funtime...two Cancers together would have a GREAT time.
I had a Cancer/Cancer relationship just once and felt that nobody understood me better. But we had a tendency to try to outdo each other too...which irritated me to no end.
I have a 7/1 brother and a 7/21 sister...and we're VERY tight. Perhaps it's because we are siblings and when we don't get along we could either beat each other up or tell Mom. :)
Anyway...I'm leaving work early today (yay!) so I'll see you all tonight.
Excellent hub, Spryte! I bagged a Sagitarian and am convinced it works so well because, as an Aries, I'm too impatient to wait around for his too-frank comments...
LOL rachael! If anyone could tolerate a Sagittarian's frankness it would be an Aries person. I can't see the two of you sitting still for very long...must be a lot of fun! Thanks for dropping in and sharing that!
Hi Spryte Hope you can find the info re. the "I feel" etc. And re the possibility of cancers not having great marriages I have to say although that wasn't fantastic my twin brother and son - all 7/2 - are very close indeed and we have fantasic time when all together particularly on our birthday date. cheers.
Hey miss Spryte, how are you this morning? Sorry I didn't make it by here sooner, I was busy trying to corner Shades. I've got him cornered now so I thought I'd drop by to say Good morning, guess it's afternoon now, but you know what I mean, I hope.
LOL! Define this "cornered" thing...
Hubby just swung by my office to take me to lunch, so I'm back at work now, sort of working...sort of not working...so good afternoon to you too!
Sorry Spryte, I was planning on coming back to visit with you this afternoon but I couldn't make it. I am headed to Colorado in the morning and I am not sure when I will get back. I will be hanging out here tonight, not sure how long.
I didn't get Shades cornered like I would have liked to, but that's the way things go.
:( No laptop huh? I'll miss you...but have a safe trip okay and no worries, I was having a little fun over in a forum thread watching Shadesbreath duel Mark Knowles (in a friendly fashion).
Spryte, I have returned and miss you terribly. I hear that you are playing games with your husband, I hope you are having tons of fun, but not so much fun that you won't return to us on HP. Come back soon, we need your charming wit around here, it's kind of dull without you!
Gwendy - I'm so glad you are back! Welcome home! Sorry I've been away so long...but I caught a bug and I've been down for count the last couple of days. I have about 4 unfinished pieces that I've been writing but I can't seem to finish them...LOL! I am keeping an eye on you guys though...I swear!
*hugs*
Spryte, get better soon. We miss you sooo much!!!I am glad someone is keeping an eye on us, we need supervision. Honestly I can't even get a god hubjacking going without you. So come back soon.
Well spryte I've been keeping out of trouble, I swear. Its all those other ones, honest.
Sorry to hear you havn't been well we have all missed you. Get better quick huh!
(Hugs)
I did see all the "shower" activity going on....tsk! I figure I need to write a hub to earn my place back in here...
And damn it! I've started several...they just didn't flow at all. My muse seems to be on vacation. :)
I miss all of you too! *hugs* to each and every one of you.
I think your muse must be with me on vacation because my specs have gone missing and I cant' see what i'm writing! I missed the "shower"
Hiya Aggie :)
I've been peering in every now and then. I'm trying not to force anything...that's usually when it sucks. I can feel the beginning of an idea tickling the edge of my brain though...just waiting for it to come up and smack me on the head hard enough. :)
Have you checked on top of your head for your specs?
High Spryte, just to let you know that Tinkerbell the bear, who's desire for lady bears you destroyed at B.T.'s behest sends his love (platonically of course)
There was a song that came out in the early eighties: "Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble, (When you're perfect in every way! - I can't bear to look in the mirror, for I get better looking each day.)"
The bit I like most goes: "Some folks say that I'm egotistical; Hell, I don't even know what it means. But I think that it has something to do with the way, that I fill out my skin-tight blue jeans!"
This of course doesn't fit me as I'm Aquarian, and above all that.
Love,
T.O.F.
TOF - I used to love getting rowdy and singing that song! As for Aquarian's being egotistical...they are much too good natured to ever make any such claim seriously and hence the reason why they are always welcome wherever they go...people just love having them around.
Please give my fondest fondling (platonically of course) to Tink. LOL!
I'll get Maxi Farad, the elective eel, to pass on the fondling. They seem to have a thing going.
See you 'round the post elective trail.
Cheers, T.O.F.
Ag gets smacked on head by passing Hub idea!, glasses fall off and break!
"sigh"
:P to both of you!
Hey Spryte, glad to see you around, was beginning to wonder what happened to you.
Hey Gwendy! Don't worry...I'm just off terrorizing the world of Azeroth and defending it against the evil forces of the Lich King with my Undead warlock, Cuddles. :)
Two more levels to go...but I haven't maxed out my skills (except for fishing) so far...and lots of the new continent left to explore. But I'm still replying to comments and trying to read whatever others are writing when I can. Of course, since I'm at work right now...I'm not playing the game...so I can peek in between work!
Great, glad to have you back, even though it may not be full time. I am taking breaks while writing a new hub. It's nap time here and I am trying to catch up with everyone. It seems like it has been forever since I was able to be on here and just BS with everyone. I am hoping that CR hasn't had that group shower yet, I am ready now and will be disappointed if he has already had it.
Group shower? You gonna have a hub-cam?
I am a Cancer Horse. Love it, wouldn't want to be anything else. We are supposed to be perfectly matched to Pisceans, but whoever decided that was so, was off their rocker! I married one and dated another (not at the same time) and their moods, deceitfulness and addictions were more than this little Cancer girl could handle. It was kinda freaky realizing that they were both practically the same person in a different body. The Piscean that I gave birth to however, is exactly the opposite. In fact, he's perfect. :) As are his sisters, but they're not Pisces, either one.
This is a great hub, Spryte! Tons of fun to read, too.
Haha...truly hilarious...apart from being almost spot on!
Shirley: if you gonna let it all hang out, be discrete. That way you can come back for seconds.
TOF - Sounds like you've done this before. Good advice!
Nah, high on theory, low on practical. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.
It's a good story. Maybe I'll do a true confessions hub or something.
Shirley - Pisces are actually a good match for Cancer BUT...and here is the important BUT part...occasionally you can get a bad fish, or maybe even two as you've discovered. And of course you know what happens when fish goes bad. It starts to smell to high heaven and you have to take the trash ALL the way to the curb so it doesn't stink up the rest of your house. Luckily most fishies aren't so stinky and your son sounds like a fine example!
Feline - Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this!
As for the rest of you instigators, I think CR decided to keep his shower to himself and is not sharing, hence the lack of invitation. I'm fine with that as I hate sharing the hot water anyway! :P
Love your analogy! It's perfect. Too bad Cancers are loyal to a fault, makes the suffering last longer.
Hahahah! So true! It's hard to get a Cancerian to part with anything...even trash :)
good advice
Spryte- When did you add those pictures? I feel I have more negative aries qualities than positive...Oh NO!
Btw my favorites Leo are only 5%(one of the lowest) visiting this hub. No wonder I haven't been spending enough time on this hub...hehe
country - Those pictures have been there since I published...hehehe. I'm sure you aren't a negative aries, you are just too humble to see all of your positive traits :)
And that doesn't surprise me about Leos, although they may be visiting, they might be far too royal to participate in this humble poll. :)
Lgali - thank you!
Spryte- Maybe I am getting old (memory loss) or due to your lack of providing us gas masks in time for the party at Greenland (being hosted by Gwendy's beans ammo has affected my dumb intellect into temporary amnesia).
You are right maybe I should be too proud since Iam humble/modest...LOL
I guess we can find out our Majesty's Royal Sign and include it ourselves in the poll....(What do you say your Highness Christoph since your one roar is equal to hundred of us ordinary subjects)...hehe
A leaf falling in Africa could lead to a tidal wave in Indonesia.
Don't worry about Gwendy's beans. In this green and fertile land of which I appear to have become surrogate wise and benevolent father, as well as Lord High Poo-Bah, any foul smell emitted in the open immediately freezes solid and is exported to Rotorua to add to the ambiance of our tourist industry. And if you think that I'd let Gwendymom or her smelly kids inside anything other than a fish-processing factory, you've got to be out of your tiny little minds!
Aquarians may be altruistic, but we're not completely crackers.
Having been the recipient of several noxious gag inducing emissions produced by my own beloved husband, I would whole-heartedly concur on your sentiments.
What a FUN topic!Linda Goodman's Love signs book is so eerily right on. I stole my mom's copy when I was in high school and I admit I'd check it out whenever I began dating someone new. I went against the better advice of Linda's book and had the worst dating realtionahip ever. Sorry Leo's, you are not my cup of tea- I fare better with any other sign but them. I am a Taurus now married to an Aquarius -oddly never dated one before him and I haven't even checked out our signs together so this hub reminded me I should do that (thanks!). Tauruses are sensual by nature and I know my husband does not appeal to that side or bother with the extra (wink wink) stuff romantically, etc. On a side note- Scorpios are hot in bed. Leos need too much assurance and attention- ugh! My mom is a Leo too and we have been known to clash.
Izetti - I know of another Tauren/Aquarian relationship that has lasted for years...so it must be a good pick for you. I think they're getting ready to celebrate their 40th. :) I agree...Scorpios have a tendency to heat things up, although occasionally they do have a rather sadistic tendency. I adore female Leos as friends, but as male lovers...hmm...they do have a tendency to require a lot of petting and reassurance that they are in charge. Although at times...I truly think I'd rather spend my days reassuring a Leo than trying to get my Aries husband to quit whining and eat his dinner or I'll send him to bed without any....err...
I have this tendency to forget he's not really a child...and with my maternal Cancerian instinct it can make for some rathe ramusing moments.
Hey Spryte, glad to see you alive and well. I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to return. You know everyone is saying that you and Shades have run off with one another and that is why you guys have been so sparse around here.
Gwendy: LOL! Damn...and here we were trying to keep it a secret :P
Nah...I'm fine. Just a combination of work, holidays, flu, WoW and lack of ambition to write anything at the moment. December is always an insane month for me (as an accountant).
*hugs*
How you being?
Hey! Good to see you up and around! It's just not the same around here, without a spryte!
I am an aquarian female and I was born 1/21.It's quite confusing because few astrologers put me as a capricorn.However,I totally 100% fit the aquarian description.I mean I run at slighest sign of a relationship getting too serious too fast,too clingy.I runaway from needy,emotional people.Although I do tend to always get teary eyed for almost anything,except when we spend thanksgiving with my mom's second cousin and they all cry while saying thanks,that annoys and I wonder why the f are they crying.We are very open-minded and personally I dislike people who can't atleast respect other's opinions.I'm aloof and unattached.I hate doing what everyone else is does.The guy I am interested is a Taurus, is that a good match?what would we both have to do to make it work?or how is that relationship going ot work over all?I had this other tauren guy chase after me for a few years I said no in every way possible.I even had to be mean to tell him no even though I felt bad but he just wouldn't get it.I don't know if he still does get it.I've been talking to a Leo,however, I've only gotten to know the part that they spoil their women.that is so true.he probably has me on a pedestal,which I'm not sure it's a good thing.Aquarius/aquarius don't work at all I don't think.I tried it and I felt like I was dating a friend.So after an entire essay written.What sign would work great with an aqaurian?
Gaby: LOL! Well...your nickname is well-suited to you :) You were born on a cusp, so your personality will reflect both of those signs, even though you seem to lean more toward Aquarius, there are definite Capricorn influences in there as well. I can probably make an educated guess that you drive most men crazy with your hot and cold personality.
Leo's do tend to spoil their women, but remember they are also very sensitive. As much as it might seem they are putting you are on a pedestal, part of the reason you are up there is to get a better view of their own magnificence. If you don't pamper the puttytat he'll sulk off and leave you to get off your own damn pedestal faster than you can say...WTF?
Taurens are a good choice...but be prepared for some stubbornness. You won't always get your way, which in some cases is a good thing for you. You have an idea of what you would like, definitely what you don't like...but you get distracted easily and sometimes talk yourself out of a good decision. A Tauren won't allow that...or he'll only allow it for so long before he'll put down a hoof and blow some steam out at you. But if you are into domestic bliss...that's what you'll get with this sign.
Stay away from Pisces and Cancer...they'll drown you in emotion and judging from your statement, that's the last thing you want. You might consider a Sagittarian for a partner, but be prepared to give as good as you get. They won't be leashed unless it's a long one.
I wish you all the best in finding just the right guy for you! I'm sure he's out there and you've got the right idea not to settle. :)
Thanks Spryte!I def do tend to play hot and cold with guys.I try not to but sometimes I get annoyed if they are being to clingy.I did forget to mention that my mom is a Taurus and both my dad and brother are Cancers.however, my brother is more emotional than my dad or at least he shows it more.like way more.when he was little he would cry for everything if someone came to visit us and left he cried, if my parents fought he cried,if they scolded him he cried.If was interesting bc it would bother me bc I get sentimental and emotional but I don't like showing it.Happy Holidays btw Spryte and everyone else!!!!!!
The happiest of holidays to you too Gaby...and to all my readers as well!
Merry day after Christmas, Spryte! It's nice to see your name popping up in the hubtivity again! It just hasn't been the same around here.
I promise in the New Year there will be more spryte on the hubpages. I think I just needed a recharge...and spending the holidays with my family is DEFINITELY a recharge. And I thought I was the only insane person in the group..
Besides I've missed all of you as well. And now...I have to go shower. My father is going to be here soon and that's always a fun time...lol! Big hugs to you!
Hugs back! Have fun with your dad!
Nice article. I'll keep my fingers crossed I don't do any of the DONT'S!
I had a lot of fun reading this and trying to figure out which one I would find appealing. Tell me what sign are pisces most suited to? (I'm a pisces) I may as well ask an expert, before I decide :D
Well it really depends on the type of fish that you are! Some fish like to fight the current and swim upstream, while some are content to hang around in placid pools all day.
For the calm fishies, Cancerians and Leos are both good choices provided you don't allow your natural tendency to melancholy to over-dampen the puttytat's high spirits. As for the fighting fishy...you'd do well with a Cancerian there too...a Virgo, Libra, Scorpio and possibly a Capricorn would suit.
Like the Aries, which is the child of the sign, Pisces as the old man requires a lot of attention...just of a different sort. They require nurturing and tenderness...whereas the Aries simply just wants everyone to "look at me!" So look for the signs with patience, compassion and the ability to dream for compatibility and you won't go wrong.
This was a very good hub! I am an Aquarius who seems to be attracted to Scorpio Males which is crazy because many things I have read say we are not the best match! Sometimes they almost seem too exhausting to deal with because being the way that I am, I am sure to piss one off! I have before and man its not fun. But I seem to be a magnet to them or perhaps there is just an abundance of them...hmmm.
Well dee...I can't fault your taste in men. A woman would have to be pretty much dead to be immune to the charms of a Scorpio male. While perhaps not a match made in heaven...an Aquarian/Scorpio match is not really a total write-off either. On the upside, if it works out...you can pretty much guarantee that you've gotten yourself a prize specimen. Personally, I'd say that a Scorpio can only benefit from a relationship with an Aquarian as it keeps them from becoming too full of themselves. :) You might want to remind them of that if they forget...
And thank you for the lovely comment :)
Hello everyone, well first of all I had a blast reading this...I'm a leo born Aug 13th, I was married to a gemini for 13 yrs, I'm currently dating a Libra, not sure is he is a cusp..10-22. But it has been a most rewarding relationship...until he has been a little on the lazy side...so here is my question to Spryte...Please tell me is this going to work...or am I just wasting my time. I've dated almost all the signs but never a libra and here he is my knight in shinning armor...will he stick around long enough...we have loads of fun, our dates are exotic and dream like. He just recently got into this quite mode...and I'm just scared as to why. I've asked him and he says nothing is wrong...but I do feel there is...I'm trying to give him some space and time to sort this out as I've read that libraians sometimes needs this to figure what direction to go...or to measure things out. I'd really appreciate it if you would get back to me...thank you in advance.
Puddytat.
Puddytat:
First off...let me tell you that I absolutely adore Leo women. They're fiercely independent, sassy and a lot of fun to be with.
Second...you are going to have your hands full with your Libra/Scorpio man, but that's not to say it isn't doable. It will just require a lot of work on your part which is something you would never shy away from anyway.
On the bright side, both of you enjoy the finer things in life and know how to indulge in creature comforts (which in my opinion is not a bad thing at all). However, you like to be in charge and as a Leo...when you do, gestures tend to be larger than life and occasionally you can get a bit heavy-handed. Not to mention that after you've moved heaven and earth, accomplishing the goal, you expect to be petted and told just how wonderful you are.
Libra is more concerned with the end result and not necessarily how it has been accomplished...as long as none of it disturbs his lovely dreams and sense of peace. With the Scorpio influence, I have a sense that if he's ever disturbed, he can become rather sullen or nasty and that will always hurt the tender feelings of the female pussycat. "Why is he angry...didn't you just do something wonderful for him?" I'm sure you have several examples of just that scenario.
Start purring more and using those softer feminine wiles that you possess to soothe your mate. Make his favorite dinner or take him out to his favorite restaurant. Wear his favorite perfume and talk in a softer voice....
Do you remember the old Love's Baby Soft perfume commercials? It's like that..."You can try hard...or you can try soft." He is actually very proud that you are so capable...just lose the combat boots and put on your slippers. :)
Oh...and don't ask him what's wrong or worry so much about that. If there is something wrong, a Libra/Scorpio will never tell you anyway and your doubt will only make him think that maybe there IS something wrong when in fact nothing is wrong.
Continue to be you...trust me, he doesn't want you to be anything else than that...just do it quietly. :)
Good luck and thanks for commenting!
Hi. I dont know too much about Astrology,but i thoroughly enjoyed reading this hub,especially the Virgo Sign,it is spot on. Thank You.:) :)
This is so hilarious!!! hahahaha! I'm a capricorn girl but I read all the descriptions there....so insanely funny!! 'it's me and you against the world baby!' I love that line hahaha
I love astrology humor!
Well don't know if anyone gonna answer but what is a good match for a leo woman currently with a scorpio passion is great but his heart is cold he is cold and very selfish not a kinda guy that would throw himself in front of bus to help another which bothers me a lot
and I say the bus thing of course in exageration I just get the strong feeling I am right about the bus he just does so many things in my eyes that r selfish and he always takes easy way out comeing clean any responsibility in any matter ihe is involved with
Hi Cass - I answer EVERYTHING (most of the time). Interesting combination there....Leo woman/Scorpio man. Not what I would have picked out for you, although I admit I understand completely how it could have seemed irresistable at first and there's nothing you can't handle (at least this is what YOU believe) :) You are adventurous...courageous...and you have a very big heart that you mask with gruff affection. You love to be wined and dined...BUT...it does not have to be fancy...just interesting and unusual for you to feel special and loved. Careful though...Leo women have a tendency to expect it as their due and you can't always be the queen. Scorpio is not a good long term choice for you...although I have seen it work...usually when the couple pursues their own interests outside of the relationship. I would put you with a LIbra Male...it seems like a better balance for you. I think the two of you would bring out the best in one another.
Odd never meet a male lybra females plenty but male none but thanks for the advice I am most grateful

Spryte, you're an absolute nutter.
I'm an Aquarius, and your description of the "Good Aquarian" is spot on.
Your "Bad Aquarian" is total rubbish.
[I didn't waste an hour though - just skipped straight to Aquarius and ignored the rest. How's that for being insensitive to the time you've spent on this hub.]
Oops. But now I'll have to admit that one of the points in your "Bad Aquarian" description could be correct. Perhaps. But probably not.
Cheers, Eric G.
