Their demons can be pretty dark but imperceptive to those around them... they really do mask their sadness with a cynical sort of humor.

It's hard for them to commit and even when they do it seems one foot is out the door.

They can lack follow through-- they're much more interested in coming up with a great idea then moving on to the next.

Foot in mouth disease? Check!

Insensitive? Checkeroo.

Can be really lazy.

A sag can justify anything under the sun, often quite self-righteously.

Saggies know everything. You're wrong-- they've done the research.

At worst? Cynical, sarcastic, explosive, insensitive, aloof, careless, driven to excess in their vices, egotistical, arrogant, prone to exaggeration, downright cold and frequently fueled by inner melancholy.

But simma' down, Saggies and Saggie lovers... I'm a Saggitarius girl myself! Would I trade places with anyone? Not on your life! Well, maybe for a day or so...!

It really is more good than bad and all the good things you hear are true. (These are just the secrets of the Archer... keep it quiet now-- we don't really like to talk about it!)

I shall try to keep it short (nutshell version)

In 2007, I split with husband and was left with the house to sell. He wanted his share but didn't want to do the work.

So I did it myself.

One day after having the steps rebuilt I was left with a mountainous pile of crap to remove.
Couldn,t afford a skip £130/$250 so I decided to bag it up and attempt to clear it myself.
This sounded very good in theory.
In reality I dug for an hour had 30 bags already to shift and hadn't even made a dint in it.

A silent tear crept down my cheek (ok...in truth I began to bawl like a baby and threw down the spade in a tantrum crying "Why me? This aint fair.....I cannot shift this alone)

After a nice cup of tea (the English cure-all for every known disaster) I began again.

And suddenly Knowflakes, after an hour, I felt my spade hit the driveway. And then more driveway was revealed....and more....and suddenly I had only 2 bags of dirt left to clear and then before I knew it I was hosing down a sparkling drive to reveal my new steps in all their glory.

I went on to make a huge profit on that house and ended up buying 2 more and selling them.

I could have stopped at the first spadeful and said this is too big a task....I nearly did.
But here's what I learnt that day and has so changed my way of thinking.

future_uncertain,
"Their demons can be pretty dark but imperceptive to those around them... they really do mask their sadness with a cynical sort of humor."

that's really right on, i had LOTS of problems when i lived in the US, that people really criticized me for being a "pessimist". but that's really not the point! why can't people be a bit more relaxed about humanity? we can make fun of ourselves as much as we want, because we are only ridiculing ourselves, no? and that's to only hide our deepest insecurity and loneliness... we like to keep things light. if something is troubling us, we'd rather make fun of it than have a serious talk about it.

but its true, we can be so blunt and insensitive to others. only in the last half a year so, i'm finally learning to be more sensitive to others, clumsily.

And Blue Topaz, hello to you too. Interesting that you have an Aqua Moon, opp our Leo Moons. I believe you have the same Sun/Moon/Asc combo as another knowflake, darkdreamer.

I said to the landscape gardener I have working on my new house
"Kevin love, would you trim my bush?

Now I meant the camellia. He nearly stabbed himself on the garden fork.

Now they have told me that this is the correct term for the inside part of a toilet cistern that instead of entering from the side will come from underneath.

The new Sagg part of me is going "Duh! O.K

and the Aquarian remnant is going "You are not falling for that old joke **** for brains.
