ASTROLOGICAL SIGNS

I've always claimed to be interested in astrology, and, truthfully, I am.  But an expert I am not.  People who can spout off the details of character in those born under certain astrological signs intrigue me, and I desire to possess that ability.  I want to be able to justly analyze and attribute someone's personality traits to those outlined in the established traits of their astrological sign.

I don't agree with the descriptions of my astrological sign - Aries.  They are completely off, and nearly opposite.. I mean, "Aries are not particularly suited for detail work."  That statement could not be more incorrect.  The best & most accurate description of my personality is based on my Chinese zodiac sign/animal - the rabbit, which I first discovered on the disposable paper placemat at a west-side Chinese buffet.  This is an alternate description I found,

gracious, good friend, kind, sensitive, soft-spoken, amiable, elegant, reserved, cautious, artistic, thorough, tender, self-assured, astute, compassionate, flexible; can be moody, detached, superficial, self-indulgent, opportunistic

& this,

Timid and attractive, the Rabbits of the Chinese Zodiac tend to act more like bunnies, whether they like it or not! This Sign is extremely popular and has a wide circle of family and friends. Its compassionate nature leads it to be very protective of those it holds dear, but where romance is concerned, the Rabbit's sentimentality can lead it to idealize relationships. The sweet, sensitive Rabbit often ends up giving more of itself to a partner than is realistic or healthy. The good news is, when this Sign goes off-balance, the Rabbit's core group of friends and its stable home life help bring it back to center.

The Rabbit is a rather delicate Sign that needs a solid base in order to thrive. Lacking close, supportive friends and family, the Rabbit might just break down in tears at the first sign of conflict. Emotional upsets in this Sign's life can even lead to physical illnesses. Rabbits dislike arguments and other conflict and will try anything to avoid a fight; this results in something of a pushover nature. Rabbits can also lapse into pessimism and may seem stuck in life -- often to mask their insecure natures. Rabbits tend to move through life's lessons at their own, rather contemplative pace; it's a waste of time to become exasperated with this Sign's seeming disinterest in facing its problems and conquering them.

With the right partner -- meaning someone whose high principles won't allow it to take advantage of this sensitive, giving Sign -- the Rabbit can make an incredibly loving and protective partner or family member. Rabbits love to entertain at home and always make sure their house is comfortable and tastefully-furnished. What Rabbits need most is a stronger sense of self-worth and the security that comes with it. Their discerning natures, coupled with some hard-won assertiveness, will help these happy creatures go far.
