I actually think I understand what you mean...I think Sun-Sun opposition work best if both parties are conscious of compromise.
I am Sag sun with a Gemini friend and ,true to what they say about our match, I am always concerned as to the moral bent of this Gemini and how they never look at the bigger picture.
The Gemini in question is a good-looking guy and as a result, he does attract his more than fair share of attention that he uses, mostly selfishly, to his advantage.
In one particular instance, one of his co-workers bought him a lavishly expensive gift on valentines day and I asked curiously if he was in a relationship to which he denied.
Sag: So why would someone at work buy you such an expensive gift?
Gemini: They were just being nice.
Sag: Are you sure they are just being nice or looking to persuade you to look at them with diffrent eyes?
Gemini: Look, I've made it clear to her that we are just friends and I am not interested. If she chooses to buy gifts for me and indulge me, that is her perogative. She wants to be a jackass, so let her....
Sag
no fuming but trying to keep under coontrol) The "girl" you are referring to is 50. She is lonely, divorced and probably flattered with the attention you give her when you flirt so openly with her at the office. Don't you think it's small of you to take advantage?
Gemini: No! She is doing it out of her own free will...
Sag
now realising that an argument with a Gemini can never be resolved with passion but reason) Okay then, I guess you are right. It is all her doing and she is being generous.But I still think that you are playing naive by not reading between the lines.
Sometime later, his girlfriend came to see him at work. I wasn't there but apparently, according to other co-workers , the lady in queation was not pleased.
7 days later...
Gemini: That b*** gave me a poor performance appraisal.
Sag: Oh you mean the woman who gave you gifts on valentines day?
Gemini: Yeah. She is treating me like s*** and being totally unfair.
Sag: What happned? I thought you guys were friends.
Gemini: I don't know what I did but she had done a 180.
Sag: How soon did this happen?
Gemini: Actually, it was the day after Eileen(girlfriend) came to see me. She started being standoffish ...
Sag: I warned you about this. I told you all those gifts weren't for nothing.
Gemini: (reluctantly)Yeah I guess you had a point. but what am I gonna do wo, I don't want to be fired?
Sag: Well, I suggest you talk to her and tell that you only see her as a friend.
Gemini: Do you think I should return the gifts?
Sag: That is entirely up to you.
The point is, I tried not to force my ideals on him and end up fighting with him to do the "right thing", instead, I stood aside and let things get out of hand until he asked me for my advice again.
I notice , with him, he doesn't respond well to long lectures. All you need do is just plant an idea in his head and the rest usually sorts itself out.
