Was surfing the web yesterday, trying out different random stuff and wham! I started getting interested in astrology. It’s FASCINATING. But I don’t really believe in it. Just think that it’s quite of a coincidence. Since I’m so bored, don’t feel like starting on any of the homework which is really mundane and there’s still a long time before heading for sectionals, I shall rant about astrology. Starting with my zodiac sign, Capricorn. (such a pretty name, don’t you agree?)

In astrology, Capricorn is considered a "feminine," negative sign. It is also considered an earth sign and is one of four cardinal signs.Capricorn is ruled by the planet Saturn. Being the tenth sign of the zodiac, Capricorn has been associated with the astrological 10th house.

Hm… I guess most traits are kinda true for me and Rachelle. Oh add in competitive too.

Suitable occupations are often cited as any capacity of authority, lawyer, DOCTOR (hopefully), politician, accountant (never, I suck in Math) etc.

• The birth of Christianity and later of the Protestant Church,
• The Vikings rising and falling, and
• The Boston Tea Party

Hm… on to other zodiac signs.

After Capricorn, it’s Aquarius. Ethel Chionh Hui Yih (Ethel, your name has a lot of ‘h’s)

In astrology, Aquarius is considered a "masculine", positive (extrovert) sign. It is also considered an air sign and is one of four fixed signs. Aquarius has been traditionally ruled by the planet Saturn, and, since its discovery, Uranus has been considered a modern ruler of this sign. Being the eleventh sign of the zodiac, Aquarius is associated with the astrological 11th house.

• Tolerant of other views, seeing both sides of the argument, unprejudiced and objective Humane, humanitarian, altruistic

One type of Aquarius person can be shy, gentle, patient and more sensitive. The other type is more enthusiastic and exhibitionist.

They despise lies and hypocrisy, and although rarely caught in a lie, may nevertheless subtly and cleverly manipulate what they say to give a wrong impression.

-hm… mostly fit Ethel’s character except the extrovert part. I was practically ROFL-ing-

Physical traits

Many astrologers believe that each sign of the zodiac has identifiable physical traits. Individuals born under the sign of Aquarius tend to have a vague expression, a high forehead, finely chiseled features, the face is usually long and oval with flat planes, and there is a look of nobility suggestive of the classic Greek or Roman models. They are above average height and have a slender figure. Their eyes are usually light coloured that convey remoteness and have a dreamy quality. Aquarians also have average noses and lips that are full at the center and thin out toward the edges.

-wth!? Like that also can. Not too sure; didn’t pay much attention to Ethel’s features. Only GL I think. But the figure is correct. She’s so LANKY. And she IS dreamy. –

Aquarius is widely thought to be compatible with same element signs – Libra, Gemini and Aquarius itself. It is often considered to have a great potential with Sagittarius granted they do not overreact to things, as both are given to whims and can be quite temperamental. Aquarius can also learn a lot and build a solid, enduring bond with Taurus however both will have to make an effort from time to time to understand each other's different world-view and take into consideration each other's special needs.
