Welcome BT

I'd like a copy of your stats for my own records if you don't mind.

We'll start with your Sag Ascendant

(Lyn Birbeck)

You are a teacher or preacher. Jupiter is your ruling planet. Your Shadow is inferiority. Other is an enquirer or dabbler. Mercury is Other's ruling planet.

Like the superior being that you are inclined to present yourself as, you express yourself with a larger than life sense of confidence and apparent self-assurance. This attracts Other who, as the eternal gatherer of pieces of information, is impressed by your seemingly broad and effortless grasp of all manner of things. Other sees your persona as a role model for how to give off a cosmopolitan air that makes him / her look as knowledgeable as he / she potentially or actually is. However, should Other become aware that behind any particular facet of your self-advertisement there is no product to live up to it, then a kind of intellectual scorn towards what is seen as smugness or pretentiousness on your part can colour his / her idea of you. Conversely, Other's array of endless but unrelated bytes of information, which is simply diversity, is helpful to you just as long as it doesn't annoy you.

What can really bug you about Other is a certain downmarket, irrelevant or inept quality, with a worrisome nature to match. But this is actually a reflection of your fear of being provincial or in doubt. Remind yourself that such 'inferiority' is an example to you of the common touch and concerns that would would greatly complement, even complete, your talent for seeing the bigger picture. Being honest about your doubts will put Other at his / her ease; and, consequently, he / she will feel more confident in him- / herself.

Variety and not getting too tied down are important to you. But so too is having the commitment to a lasting relationship. This contradiction is symbolized by having dualistic Gemini on your Descendant. The resolution to this dilemma is to accept the fact that you lead a two-tone lifestyle and hope that Other will love you for the adventurous and exciting being that you are. Having more than one partner would be stretching this a bit, but if such is the case, it would mean that you found it hard to be honest and share all of your light and shade with just one Other. Then again it caould fall to your partner to act out any suppressed duplicity or lack of commitment on your part!

When you are alone, it is most likely to be because you have simply found it so hard to commit yourself to a relationship that you either have been given up as a hopeless cause, or have never dared take any sort of plunge even into the shallows of a relationship. When it comes down to it, you hate being alone, for then you have to confront what is at the root of relationship problems: your own inconsistencies as opposed to those you see as belonging to Other. Sooner of later, this is the one plunge you will have to take - into your depths.
