Leo
Represented by their ruling planet, the Sun, Leo love is naturally the center of attention. It’s hard to resist gravity when you first come into contact with them. Once you’re caught in their tracks, it’s hard to escape. Like the sun’s solar flares, Leos can’t predict when they suspect you’re going to take away their light. They don’t like this. So they explode with a kind of energy that deeply affects those around them. We love the warmth of the sun but when it’s too hot, we run away from it. Bad idea. Leos hate this. What makes them fight heroes is that most of the time they are well aware of their poison but they don’t see that it is a bad thing. They justify their need for love, praise, and attention in a way that makes them believe that they are good people and doing the right thing even if this is not actually happening. Don’t think just because the day is night you are protected from their light. Although we don’t always see the sun, it never stops shining. Behind your back, Leos may gossip about you and destroy your credibility. But this does not mean that all Leos are bad. As I said, they believe they have reason to do so. The trick is to learn how to interact with these anti-heroes and understand their nature. Similar to how we learned to understand both the positive and negative aspects of the Sun. Leos are no different.
Scorpio
Death becomes Scorpio. They embody the spirit of great balance, death. Many paint Scorpio as inherently evil in the same way they view death as evil. But death is what it is. It’s not good or bad, it’s just a fact of life. Scorpios understand this and that is why they can sometimes put others at a distance. They generally do not believe in good or bad. They can be nihilistic and as such, this puts many people off. While most of us believe in good intentions and bad intentions, that’s not what Scorpio believes. To quote Friedrich Nietzsche “Life is suffering. To suffer is to find some meaning in suffering.” This is their worldview. Scorpios enjoy bringing down the happiness of others. Believing is foolish sometimes. They embody the anti-hero archetype because in the alignment chart, they lie neutral. They are motivated by their own interests and don’t really care if you are bothered by this. In the end, when we finally get over it, it’s not your regret they have to live with, it’s theirs.
Gemini
Distinguish between good and bad. Love and hate. When it comes to individual Geminis, even if they are good people, a bad person is a toss up. When you experience their shady nature, it’s almost like meeting a completely different person. Like Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde. Geminis are incredibly difficult to read because when they are kind and generous and loving, they mean everything they say and do. That is why it is very easy for them to win your trust. But when it’s turned around and the shadow is proud, you look into the same eyes and yet you can’t see the person staring back. They are happy about this. They like to catch others by surprise. To them, it’s a game. However, what makes them more complicated is that these different people don’t understand each other. One side always fights the other side. When their shadow nature comes out, that goodness within them screams, trying to blur their way out and take control. And when they are able to suppress that dark aspect of their nature, it is not long until this darkness destroys their light.
Taurus
He called himself a “tortured poet”. Taurus carries great emotional pain and longing from birth. But often the source of this pain is a mystery. There is a disturbance created between them. It is as true to their nature as the color of their eyes. As indicated by the assigned Tarot card, the Hierophant, those born under this sign are naturally spiritual and pay close attention to the ways of the universe. They don’t just see the world for what it is, but understand the inner workings of the spirit. Reading synchronicities and the writings on the wall. But with such awareness comes a heavy burden of awareness. Knowing that both good and evil exist equally not only in the world but within each of us. No one is born good or bad, we just learn to suppress our shadow sides but Taurus are no strangers to embracing their shadow. They are happy about it. Why? Because they understand that they are only human. That’s why people follow them, because you say it like it is. Like a sermon, they can say what we hear but don’t understand. Taurus are kind or have the power to become cult leaders in the names they choose. They know this. Many peace leaders and dictators are born of Taurus and the path one chooses all depends on whether the world is kind or not. Most Taurus start out with good intentions but when life knocks them down unfairly, that’s when the shadow side reveals itself. As if to say “Okay, I’ll be a bad person if that’s what you want.”
