How much does it take to keep your temper in control at times? It takes a lot, especially for me. I was wondering today, about why is it that different people react differently to the same kind of situations. I mean, you see a person getting ill treated, you see a person acting insanely stupid, you hear some tell you a very convincing lie, someone somewhere breaks rules ( I have nothing against breaking rules, I do it almost always, but sometimes, when you really really get frustrated? and of course when you are in the right and been following the stupid rules all the stupid while and some ass comes up and walks away with what is stupidly, rightfully yours? ), I mean, how do you react?
I go wild. I know a lot of people who do. But there are others who suffuse the anger momentarily, and go about smiling their way through the situation. I frown. I scorn. I use a lot of sarcasm as stings. And of course, silence.
But complete denial of anger? And some of that smiles. How can people have all the pent up negative anger within them? Isn’t it easier to yell or fight or question, in the heat of the minute and then forget it? Even a few punches if necessary.
It is exciting. This spurred me to consider the behaviors of the 12 different zodiac signs at moments of extreme passion. Especially negative passion. Well, when we see such different reactions, don’t we after all, say, “It’s his/her character.” ?
And as ever taking the cue from Linda Goodman,
Aries : Spitfires. Completely explosive tempers. Words that scar. And well, after the moment, you can be assured that they aren’t going to remember the words they used, and may even forget that such a quarrel occurred. It is better to remain silent till they cool off. But a word to the wise, Aries Ice is worse then Aries Fire, so it better they shout instead of shut up.
Taurus : Rage. And immense silence that can build and cast huge shadows over the place. It starts with a stiffening of the face, the eyebrows in particular. And then a narrowing of the eyes. Silence follows. And then they back off. But, just as the opponent gets cozy, they charge. See a bull fight if you want the evidence. And remember that a Taurus, any Taurus, male or female, is a bull at heart. And red colors are, pitifully, in plenty around this world.
Gemini : Seriously, I still don’t know how these people react. Its confusing, because almost everything about them is confusing. They may shout, keep silent, laugh or cry. It depends on them. With a Gemini, it doesn’t matter. They may take casual comments personally, but they will forget it within a few minutes. Hours in some cases. No hurt is permanent, partly because to them, everything is transient, even people, and there is always something better to do than brood.
Leo : Royal anger. A anger of righteousness. It is their birthright, did you not know? Not just the anger, but everything. They are the Kings, the Queens. Even the tiny infant Leos. A growl, and then a roar. It typically goes that way. Specially the Queens. The female of this zodiac sign is prone to senseless anger at times. They can completely delete people out of their lives. Of course, the heart is always warm. There will be reconciliations, but they will be few and far in between. Anger a Leo more than normal, and you will find that you just lost the company of royal blood. Hurt not their egos and you can always be a minister at their royal court. But never more than that.
Cancer : Cry babies. They weep when in pain, when happy, when sad and when angry. Even when in love. That just defines it all. But Cancers can be wonderfully sensitive companions. Except when they are hurt. They retreat into their hard shell that is so characteristic of them. They frown, mumble, cry. Then they keep quiet. Some more of whatever is bothering them, and they hide away. It can take many sunshines to bring them out onto the golden sands of liveliness. But sometimes, it can take just a full moon night. They get all loony and warm and cuddle-able. And more prone to enjoy provocations then any time else.
Virgo : They get angry by the rules. They may be badly hurt, but then who has the time to waste with squabbling and making up, when you are a walking talking alarm clock? They have brains that come with a clock ticker. It goes tick-a-tock every single moment that they fear they are wasting. Emotions can be bundled off, can’t they? How do you survive when you keep people entertained with your emotions? But, the most important point is, like I said, emotions are bundled up. They are not completely forgotten. They are tied up safely, of course as per the rules, and sacked into the heart. And the mind, and left to cause them those ulcers that Virgo’s are very very famous for. They literally swallow hurt, ego, anger. But digest it, they cannot. And so the stomach related disorders. With a Virgo, a kind word, and non-criticism can go a long way. After all, they are their worst critics.
Libra : Its fair. Completely. How can they do something that isn’t fair? When you analyze the situation, from their point of view, you will realize that they are fair. Wait. What other way is there to analyze it from? Well, their opponent may have a point. And maybe they are fair too. Isn’t it worth arguing for? Heard of Newton’s laws of Relativity? Its relative. There are two ways of looking at the situation and a right and a wrong. Make that two rights and two wrongs. But isn’t that a woefully small number? Aren’t there observers? What about their sense of right and wrong? Shouldn’t you think from their shoes, sandals, pumps, boots, whatever? Even from their booties. After all, don’t babies have the right to be fair? And considering Newton, why not Murphy’s Laws? When Newton, why not Murphy? What would be his sense of right? Chaos? Wasn’t chaos the very beginning? And the end? When you look at chaos from a chaotic point of view, don’t you feel grateful that we all happened, quarrels and all? But of course, when you look at it from the other sense…….
( Word of caution : When you argue with a Libra, remember there are 3 ways you can turn out to become 1.Insane 2.Bonked 3.Unconscious. Go ahead, take the chance, after all isn’t everything fair in love, war and when arguing with a Libra? )
Scorpio : A single line to suffice. Flee the place, than get into anything infinitesimally resembling a squibble with a Scorp. Else, you will regret.
Maybe forever.
Pluto anger has nil boundaries. It isn’t that easily displayed, and sometimes, you are lucky if you can have a glimpse of it. After all haven’t you succeeded in breaking that all gloss, no turbulence exterior by creating ripples? But as you congratulate yourself, better keep yarding off at a fast pace. An appreciable fast pace. ( You can discern here that I am not giving an idea about what kind of anger, but just astrological advice to deal with it in the best possible way. )
But, if ever, if ever ever, you are blessed with their positive passion, love, affection, empathy and the like, stick fast. There can never be a person who can love you the way a Scorpio can. Try.
Sagittarius : “Wasn’t that a joke? You mean you wanted to fight with me? Ruse my anger? That was a laughable attempt. Care a beer or a candy? Wouldn’t you love some sandwiches? The bill is on me”
Easy does it. They are almost always funny and lovable. You can’t mostly get angry with a Sagittarius. Nor can they with people. That is up to an extent. A free reined extent. But a definite extent. Above that and its your bad luck. Or bad time. It doesn’t matter which. Their words can sting, and sting with poison, because they talk the truth. The worst truth about you that can sometimes cause you to repel and sometimes break down. But remember, they are almost always quick to forget it all, and even then their sudden bursts of truthfulness can hurt, but that wasn’t sincerely meant to… and after all aren’t they your friends forever?
Capricorn : The hurt is there. Inside, and sometimes displayed. Violent anger is not that prone to be displayed. But better not to bet on that. Silence and avoidance is more frequent. Deep scars may occur, but they aren’t encouraged to dwell. Partly, the reason is that most Capricorns feel that they deserve the pain that they allow others to cause them. They consider themselves part stubborn and impossible and part pitiable. Sometimes, they can completely tune people out of their lives. There will be no reconciliations. Its a definite. Almost everything about these people are a definite. Except their memories. It can flash at odd moments and induce emotions. Like, they can react to hurts of long ago in a completely stupid manner, but soon will realize and get back to their normal, musty ways. And ancient too.
Aquarius : Heard of lightening? Seen it? It flashes across the sky. And then there is thunder. It can roar, it can fizzle. But it is always brilliant. And sudden. And so-Aquarian. That is the way with their anger, passion, thoughts and everything. That is Uranus. Reactions to anger or provocation can be extremely unpredictable. Unpredictable with a completely bizarre way of expressing it. Like needles up your pillow. Toothpaste on your best dress. Gum in your socks ( gives that mucky feeling ), a syrupy concoction for you to apply on your hair. Or maybe they will dress up in yellow boots and color their hair green to make you see red ( when you realize that it is your best pair of brown Italian boots that got on that color, with the fabric color bottles that you had stocked up to make yourself a glittering yellow tee )… and it varies. There can be shouts, swearing, kicks. There can be silence, far-away looks and complete casting offs. There can be sobbing, accusing, fist fights.
Maybe, you can take a chance.
Pisces : Did someone just accuse them of fighting? Weep-weep. Did someone just call them names? Weep-weep. Did someone say they are indifferent? Weep-weep. Did someone accuse them of not caring enough? Weep….. whoosh.
Period, the Pisces fish just flew away. How do fish fly? They do, when they are Pisces. They also vanish. Temporarily, permanently. The fish hardly quarrel. They try to please everyone in sight. Also those not in sight. And when they realize they can’t they stop trying. And quit.
Well, now that I have done it, people seem oh-so-humane and oh-so-normal. Aren’t they different characters? Isn’t it great to predict up to an extent the outcome of the tiff?
Claimer : Above post is completely from my understanding of the character of each sign of the Zodiac. Inspiration and a few phrases are from Linda Goodman. This may help a few of you. Again, this may not. It depends.
‘Appy Quarreling!
