What's happening with you? You don't sound like your usual self!

I think where you were going with this, is to ask if the person should express that part of their self, even if it is not so agreeable to society... am I right?

So, you're right, the natal chart tells you how one's personality is likely to be, including the good and the bad. You get this from interpreting planets in houses, and aspects they make to each other. I think if there is an aspect that bestows on the native, a personality trait that is not so desirable, that person surely has other aspects in their chart that hold the key to breaking free of that bad aspect.

A simple example of this is in the very symbolism for Scorpio. The traditional symbol is the scorpion, but the phoenix is another one. So, to put it simply, a Scorpio native can choose to go lower & embody the attributes of the scorpion, stinging in revenge, or embody the power of the phoenix, rising above problems & regenerating him/her-self as only a Scorpio can!! Both of these are Scorpionic attributes, and s/he has a choice as to which side s/he chooses to express.

Similarly, I think, every person has that choice. Our natal charts hold the key to the personality, and we can choose to express lower attributes, or rise above and display grander ones. Even if there are fewer positive attributes... (but come on, Tea, do you really believe some people are born with fewer +s and more -s? I'm an eternal optimist, so I don't think that happens, because there is some good in everything. Even if a person has harder, more challenging aspects & more karmic lessons, perhaps they chose to learn more lessons & make more progress in this birth, and it is what their Soul truly wants. So that way, it's a + for them!)

No problems, gal, YQW!! Everyone's entitled to the occasional 'brain fart'; LOL!

Ok, so, your right bicep/tricep hurts - let me guess, you were Wii-ing tennis/table tennis/squash?? Man, sure sounds fun!! If my muscles weren't already hurting from Yoga on Saturday & Pilates yesterday, i'd totally be up for a game right now!

Oh, hey, I wanted to post you my Daily Horoscope for today (from My Yahoo!); check this out; oddly enough, it seemed to fit with what we were talking about:

"The cold, hard truth is quite simple: you can't have a positive outcome if you put in only negative energy. So today, make sure that everything you do is focused around the good things that you're trying to accomplish -- and not the bad things that you're trying to avoid. This is a wonderful time of hope in your life, so do your best to tap into the wistful, romantic side of your personality. It will help you keep a sunny outlook -- and create beautiful things."

Oh shoot... I had an off day & had a mini panic-attack about all the work I have to do in the next few; not a whole lotta positive energy. Re-reading this makes me feel ..um.. a bit ashamed about the emotional storms that happened today.

You probably have Mercury in Taurus...
