Your Sun Sign: Sagittarius
Element: Fire
Key Planet: Jupiter

The Archer is really a centaur -- the lower half is horse, the upper half is a man. The man is holding a bow with an arrow aimed upwards toward the sky. This symbolizes the Sagittarian's drive to overcome basic animal instincts by aiming his thoughts into the divine realms of the heavens. In other words, you Archers are hunting for ideas and experiences that draw you into greater awareness. As such, you Sagittarians tend to love adventure, travel and philosophy -- all ways of extending beyond your immediate surroundings.

Motto: "It is better to know how to learn than to know."
Greatest Strength: Your undying optimistic attitude
Possible Weakness: Glossing over problems or avoiding difficult situations


Your Moon Sign: Libra

The Moon in a mental air sign like Libra tends to bring objectivity to the mysterious world of emotions. This can give you a clarity about feelings that keeps you from getting swallowed up in them… but it can also make it harder to tune into your own needs. You're so conditioned to making others feel at ease that you may not deal with what's going on inside of yourself, especially if you can't put it into words. The peace and harmony that you desire is very positive as long as you're not stifling yourself to achieve it. Fairness is not just something you give to others… it's something that you need for yourself to have the kind of relationships that you want.

Motto: "I'll compromise my needs to fulfill yours."
Greatest Strength: Being objective about your emotions
Possible Weakness: Avoiding emotional commitment


Your Rising Sign: Capricorn

Capricorn Rising means you may wear a serious expression on your face. It's not that you can't have fun, because you certainly know how to play. But business comes first since you probably have had a strong sense of responsibility your entire life. Whenever you're involved, you feel like it's up to you to ensure a favorable outcome. This usually goes along with being well-organized, and even if you're not into details, you have a good sense of strategy. You don't generally open up to people right away because it's important to know where you stand first. It's not that you're necessarily trying to control what they're doing, but you certainly want total control over yourself. Fortunately, though, you're practical enough to know when it's best to give ground.

Motto: "The buck stops here."
Greatest Strength: Taking on the tough jobs
Possible Weakness: Not being tender with yourself


Your Chinese Sign: The Horse

The HORSE … THE HEADSTRONG HORSEMantra: Elegantly I am in the worldThe valiant Horse loves speed, adventure, freedom and change. Impatient by nature, Horses insist that life revolves around them. When they have a chance to do something great, they will dive in with both hands, but their lack of discernment between promising and not-so-promising opportunities can block their success. Their great sense of humor makes Horses amusing friends. Their intelligence, passion and discipline will create good luck for them.

i've been feeling down all day today and it's hard to pinpoint why. i know that a part of it is because i am not near my beloved right now and won't be for a lot of weeks still. another part of it probably stems from last night. i gave her the courtesy of walking out of the bar and away from my friends to talk to her. when it came to her being with her friends when i called her a little while later, i didn't even get her full attention. i sat on the phone listening to her pick out songs from a juke box with one of her friends. i don't want it to seem like i don't want her hanging out with them, it makes her happy and i want her to be happy. but i do think i should get her full attention when i call. after all, we're 2300 miles apart from one another. plus, she didn't even say, "i love you" while around her friends when i said it before ending the call. all i got was a, "you too" and that was that. it's so frustrating that i can't be there with her. she's also been catching a lot of flak about moving away from them, but she says that most of them have an alterior motive for keeping her there. do i have any other motives for bringing her here? maybe that's what's wrong with me today. i've been questioning myself and my reasons for bringing her here. i want to be sure that it's purely for both of us, so that we'll both be happy. we've both been waiting for this to happen for so long and now that it's so close to happening it almost feels as though it's may not happen. i don't like to think that way because it's too negative and i know what negative thinking gets me: negative results. i know we'll see each other again soon, it's just difficult to cope with having been with her for those three days and having to wait for more for so long. no second thoughts, she is the one, the only one i ever want to be with. i told her i would marry her when she was out here and i meant it.

feel this

i've been dealing with the challenge of coping with jealousy lately. i can't help it when i see pictures of her with other guys (even if they are gay), or read the things that they write her. one guy in particular who seems to be trying to pull her away from me. writing things like, i wish you were staying so i could make you mine. and shes too far away to do anything about it, all i can do is talk. thank god she'll be here tomorrow. maybe i can explain to her better how it makes me feel to see these things. god, i love her so much and i can't even hold her when either of us need to be held. this is probably the hardest thing i've ever had to deal with.

what to say about today

today was unappreciate me day,
in case you didn't hear,
and mine was no exception.

i even played
against myself
for a minute.
i smashed my body several times
into the pavement
as i and my skateboard
rolled (or flew)
oer.

people argued with,
swore at,
ignored,
with blatent disregard
for who i am.

i put up with it
walked out with honor.
but i feel like crying now.

to top it off,
i am still playing,
on the morrow mind you,
against myself.

i just found
a lovely pack
of smokes, i
didn't do it
consciously,
in my pocket.

and i can't even dance
for i had sprained a very
important body part...
my ankle.

so what do i say
about this day...
first reaction says
fuck today.
but my higher self
responds with
a simple question:

what have you learned?

and as i sit here
typing for all to see
my frustrations for this
day gone past
i hear my roomies talking.

talking me up
helping me remember
and honor who i am,
what i stand for,
and what i've done.

my tears become joyful.
