Blueskiez - My progressed chart has a lot of Scorpio

hannaramaa - LMAO! That was one of the first things that I thought. I was gonna call them the next day. Then I thought, "no, I'll go ask who's in charge right now and talk to them."
However, it ended up, "Imma go tell that b***h what I think of her." LOL!
I can definitely be vengeful and I'll wait. An ex is trying to crawl back into having a relationship I think. It didn't end badly, but it was a little shady on her part. This was 2008. I never forget things. So I'm like, "Okay, I'll let her in close a little bit and then be like, No sorry. I'm not wanting a relationship." Just as a matter of payback. Which is true that I don't. I like being her friend but that's it. I don't do 2nd's.

YoursTrulyAlways - Sounds like me! That's EXACTLY why I walk away. I've learned to control it long enough to save THEM. LOL I may see red but I remain aware of consequences.

Zander, I'm using you as an example here although it may not be specifically true for you. He would have gone and talked to the supervisor to get her in trouble. To outsiders it looks like revenge, but if asked to admit such an act he may say, "No, she needed to be put in her place." Like he is doing her a favor. They can be quite arrogant, but it especially shows when they're ****** off like that.

True.

I'm actually surprised you're her friend. Most of the Leos I know are die hard romantics and give love 2nd chances every time (then again... I think they were also the ones to call it off. I think Janet Jackson's "Control" should be Leo's theme song...js) and cross their friends off easy peasy no matter how much time has been invested. Your attitude towards it doesn't surprise me though, lol. Clearly she doesn't know much about Leos or the way they work or she would have been more fair to you, not shady.

Yeah you're right! lol I can't think of any relationship that I didn't "technically" call it off. Some heading to that direction either way.
Some I'm on friendly terms with, but she's the only one that I've actually remained friends with, as in regular communication. We've always been pretty close. Her family is all messed up. I'm kind of... her stability in a way. She always asks me what she should do in hard decisions.
Now, what I'm about to say was only a very small part of why I broke it off.
There was this guy who was courting her. He lived overseas but being a Leo, it's a respect thing from both her and him. He was trying to win her over, and she didn't exactly jump at it, yet she really didn't put him in his place at all. Just kind of stayed neutral like when you say, "maybe" or "I'm not sure."
Well, after we were over. We didn't talk for a few months and then when I did I learned they were in a relationship and she had flown over there to visit. Sometime later, they were married. It's hard to explain my feelings on that. I guess it was just a mild bitter taste in my mouth but nothing bad at all.
After a couple years they were having problems. He wouldn't work, was lazy, EXTREMELY jealous and possessive, yet himself questionably faithful. She asked me what she should do as far as stay with him or divorce. Despite the bitter taste in my mouth I tried to do the right thing. I just told her, "You're the only one who can decide that. It's your relationship. It's how much you love him vs how much crap you are willing to tolerate. I can't help you decide."
Now that they are divorcing and she's "coming home" she seems all interested.
THAT also seems shady. Like I'll just be here waiting around or something. I care about her but I'm done with all of that.
As far as returning to old relationships. I've always been that way. I just won't do it. I won't mess with a friends ex either, even if my friend is okay with it. I just won't. It's just part of my hard wired in morals I guess.
ANYWAY... It's not problematic for me. It's one of those deals like when someone doesn't lie, they just withhold information. I'm not leading her on, I'm just not being forthcoming about not being open to a relationship. If she mentions it directly instead of beating around the bush. I'll be straightforward.
ANYWAY, the whole thing is not problematic for me. It doesn't stress me out at all. I just thought that I might as well tell the story. LOL

Crossing friends off easy peasy. LOL That's SOOOOOOOO me!
So that's the Leo that does that? I've often wondered what part of me can do that so effortlessly.
I was close with this guy at work and then, a complicated story later, we kind of had a falling out, although he said that he was willing to talk to me. Just that the friendship had taken a massive hit.
Cool.
Every time I talked to him he was just kind of cold. To me, it's black or white. I don't move backwards so many steps and stay satisfied. Friend - you are or you are not - not riding the fence.
So we didn't talk for some time. One day, I walked up to him and I was my usual, joke cracking, smiling, charming self. He was still cold. So I just asked him, "Do you want to talk to me any more because you seem to just be cold to me?"
He looked me in the eyes and said, "I don't really care."
I looked him in the eyes right back and said, "Okay." (in a tone like no big deal). I walked away and haven't spoken to him since. That was December. Last year I did similar things to about 4 others. Usually it's not that frequent.
That's the sort of thing that I talk about "shutting off my emotions" or at least masking them. It's not that I truly didn't feel anything about him being like that but I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction.
That's how I operate. Situations like that, if I'm feeling a certain way, I'm not going to show it. I'll leave it a mystery. Even months later I maintain that.
Weirdly, his fiance who also works there (and is the sister of this other woman who can't stand to even be in the same room as me) will talk to me sometimes if she happens to be around.
LMAO
I caused a lot of drama in 2012.
2013 not so much. No plans to make any more either. Hahaha

This topic is so funny to me! Zander916, Jessica2407, and Faith your experiences of what really gets under your skin reminds me so much of my Leo mom. My mom for the most part is pretty passive aggressive, and she usually does not get outwardly angry. The only exception is when she's inconvenienced in some way, usually involving a customer service type situation. A couple of weeks ago my mom went to exchange her b-day gift from my sister(from the end of July) for a different size. They didn't have her size and the item had been marked down so they were going to give her credit for the reduced price. My mom immediately proceeded to call my sister's cell and home number nonstop, and my sister was busy and couldn't get to the phone in time. When my sister kept hearing the phone, and then saw that it was my mom calling repeatedly, she just knew that someone must have died. She was expecting to hear the worst, but found out that she was just calling to see if maybe she had the receipt. By that time my mom was in full on meltdown, causing a scene in the store. Having worked in customer service for years, I've tried to explain to my mom that this type of behavior is totally uncalled for. I know people can have bad attitudes and poor customer service skills, but my mom does this EVERY time she is annoyed at a store.

At home when my mom was mad, you would only know from her body language. She would pout and semi aggressively move things around, but she would not really express anger. It's so strange to me that situations like that cause her to lose her temper. It seems so trivial to me. I have a lot of Scorpio energy, so I can relate to that anger when you feel you've been wronged, but to get so angry over something like that seems silly to me.

She's done this at restaurants too. Watch out if her order is wrong, or the waiter takes too long to check up on the table. She will not mince words when expressing her dissatisfaction with the service. It's embarrassing. I think she has that "customer is always right" attitude, and will not accept anything less.

So that's the Leo that does that? I've often wondered what part of me can do that so effortlessly.


1. The "maybe" answer sounds mutable to me. What's her sign (ASC, Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars)

2. I was about to say it sounds shady, and I understand why it sounds shady to you because she's not being direct, and then you confirmed it. Then again you are also being mutable (A Virgo quality) by omitting your opinion (not about the divorce, but your feelings after) yet it also seems like a control thing again. Leos hardly ever put all their cards on the table until their feelings are confirmed or denied in someway.

3. I won't mess with seconds either! I have Leo ruling my 3rd house and Mercury in Aries, so perhaps that's why I understand your guys' thought processes better than other signs.

4. About cutting people off effortlessly, hmm. I've mulled over this a lot through various experiences with Leos and I've concluded Leos have a limited amount and ability to empathize with another. They are logical (they oppose Aquarius afterall thus they would obviously share some traits with them) and are blessed with knowing their worth. Their decisions are usually based on their worth, so I think Leos see disagreements and bumps in friendships as tests of their worth and don't like that. They're also honest signs too where a lot of people wont' be honest because their egos are too fragile to handle such criticism (ironically Leos are fragile but they see honesty as a respect thing.) I also think it's easy for you because Virgo is mutable, so like it's counterpart Pisces, it's a sign that knows how to let go. Virgo also rules Mercury and tends to have a shrewd / critical eye. I can only assume this adds to being more logical than emotional.

^ Sorry for the long winded answer.

1)
I don't know her Asc.
Otherwise
Libra Sun
Cap Moon
Libra Mercury
Virgo Venus
Aries Mars

2)
I thought about that and actually, I think you're right about holding cards back. For example, if I'm interested in someone I won't necessarily come straight out. I'll kind of like, send in the Canary and see what happens. If I get a good signal back, I'll pursue a bit stronger.

3)
I'm definitely very logical, more so than emotional. Although I can have SUPER strong emotions at times. It is related to worth. Basically, I value close friendships. So I expect them to be as committed to me as I am to them. (speaking of simple friendships) I will go far out of my way for them and if I even get a sense that they are far less than that, they're gone. They don't have to be equally as self-sacrificing, but the friendship value needs to be there. (genuine value, not to be taken advantage or I get ugly)

No worries about long replies. I can match them. LOL

That's pretty funny! It sounds like different Leos will get upset about different things.
That sort of stuff doesn't usually bother me that much depending on the dollar amount.
It's not often that it happens but I remember getting the wrong food at a drive-thru and if it's anything like what I ordered (burger to burger) I just say screw it and eat it anyway.
