******EDIT um..lol... that's know your formula .. I don't know what I was smoking when I typed that title
So, leave it to a Pisces to blurt out sage advice, utterly oblivious to the wisdom it contains...
I was scrubbing a countertop and complaining to a wonderful Fish (with a Virgo moon) about this feeling I have that I never assert my individuality in relationships. That I'm so..what's the word... mutable ..
Now, astrologically speaking I could not really be considered "mutable". In fact, I'm overwhelmingly fixed.
And yet..whenever I'm "with" someone, I find I mold myself into what my vision of their perfect woman is and stick to that. When I try to reverse my actions and show my true self, they end up confused and I end up embarassed and uncomfortable. Maybe this has nothing to do with astrology, and everything to do with social conditioning..
But that's another avenue.
So..
I looked to Neptune. It squares my Asc. Could this be the culprit?
But that's enough of that. I'm not looking for answers here. I want to share my Piscean friend's wise words.
"I'm so MUTABLE!" I scream out
"So is water," she answers "and yet..it's always H2O. So I guess.. haha.. I guess you always have to know your H2O, even if you're as mutable as water," she concluded, smiled, and walked away.
I just love this. In conclusion, maybe it's ok to try and be all things to all people; to be steam in the morning, ice in the afternoon, and a silver stream in the evening. As long as you always know and retain your formula. The essence.
What do you think?
P.S. why AM I so mutable? For God's sake I have 7 fixed planets in my chart...lol... grrrr......... ok maybe the advice didn't work on me. Hopefully it will on someon else...so I'll send it out there.
