conclusion that loneliness,

no matter how often it weighs

the soul, is sometimes,

a beautiful thing.”

Gemini/Cancer Cusp

Gemini – Cancer Cusp

There is something about this cusp that is just thrilling. Those born within this cusp are said to be inspired, thoughtful and rather profound. That is probably why this cusp is known as the “magical” one. There is a dynamic that those born under this combination possess that is ethereal at best and highly attractive. Those who are of the Air and Water elemental complement each other very well so should be no surprise that the combination of these two signs are as easy and nurturing as this is. As you delve deeper, you see that there is a constant struggle underneath it all.
Though this combination is compassionate and devoted, there is an internal struggle of logic and emotion. While a Gemini/Cancer has logic that is sound, their emotions can be their undoing. Many may try to repress their emotions, favoring the clarity of their logic but indeed this does them a disservice. Those emotions, being repressed for so long and in turn become volatile and tear them apart. If it reaches this point it is harder to bring them back from wherever they may have lost themselves. In order to keep them from staying negative, a person of this cusp must embrace their emotions and find that balance so that they can become more positive in nature.


When they are positive, a Gemini/Cancer cusp defines wonderful. They are playful, young at heart and so very flirtatious. Remember they have the sign of Cancer in their blood, so all of their lusty and romantic attributes are fair game here as well. No matter their age, you will feel loved, be entertained and know you will always be cared for. People of this sign are like the parents you might have wished you had. It should be no surprise that this combination keeps close to their families. If you cannot understand that blood is thicker than water, you might want to move along to someone else.

For as outgoing and light-hearted as they are, deep down inside, they are home bodies. Sure, everyone likes to clown around and have a good time but really, they like that secure feeling of having somewhere that is just their own. A Gemini/Cancer cusp is probably their happiest walking through their own front door and plopping down on their couch.

If they have a few kids around, even better. But home, family and sometimes romantic relationships is where their heart shall stay. I am sure you caught that “sometimes” I just wrote… see for every up there is a down and this is one of the few. This combination has such a big heart that more often than not, marriage or heavy weighted relationships are hard to maintain. Because they are so very magnetic and attract so many people of all kinds of backgrounds, they could fall in love with someone very easily.

Those of you who are of this charming combination, you know you are moody and terribly sensitive. Thankfully, you won’t deny it either because in your personal opinion, your moodiness and sensitivity is always justified. Speaking of opinion, you have plenty of them and have no problem telling anyone who will listen. It is probably part of the reason you are very social; people are attracted to you and love how you think. I have made mention of many traits, here are some more:

1) Your emotions can be rather extreme. You are happy and carefree one moment then easily turn vengeful and be swimming in a river of tears.

2) Part of the reason why so many people are drawn to you is your gift for gab. You speak well and are very knowledgeable on many subjects. You are a sucker for detail so anything that catches your eye, you are well versed.

3) You are like a mama bear. Let no one try to harm someone you love, your face is likely to be the last one they see. They won’t know what hit ‘em.

4) Cannot stress enough the importance of family but more importantly your siblings or even cousins. They are your first call when something goes right and also the ones you talk to when you think you can’t find your way.

5) Food is sometimes the center of your socializing. This may stem from your family orientation but a good dinner and good company for you, equal a great night.

6) Emotion is something you love to hate. You struggle with it but you are honest about them. You can even be objective about them when you self- analyze from time to time.

7) When you do self-analyze you can be rather hard on yourself. You look at reaching a goal rather than what it really took to get you there. Keep in mind that the more negative you are the more you will fail.

8) You love solitude and sometimes have a hard time letting someone care for you. You care for so many, understand that it’s okay someone to return the sentiment.

9) You are both physical and creative. Many of you may be ambidextrous as well. You can write, paint and probably hit a ball out of left field with no problem. You are just that damn good.

10) You easily go with flow. Many find that opportunistic but really you are just adaptable.

All of you Aquarian/Pisces and Scorpion/Archers out there – don’t let anything here deter you from loving this one. This combination is loyal and affectionate but also very detached and seductive. Do not forget there is that Cancer energy flowing through them. They can be just as jealous as they are flirtatious and will not hesitate to manipulate someone either for gain or retaliation. Their intelligence is not forgotten because the second they feel vulnerable, they become calculating. They will always land on their feet and when they do, they will have charmed someone to help pick up their pieces. Make no mistake this combination, they are survivors.

Dark In My Imagination

The XX

And there was a thought that he'd give up anything for this. Anything and everything, just to lie here and feel like the universe and everything in it was complete.

I missed you. I missed you a lot.

Lone Peace

I'm feelin' electric tonight
Cruising down the coast goin' 'bout 99
Got my bad baby by my heavenly side
I know if I go, I'll die happy tonight

Oh, my God, I feel it in the air
Telephone wires above are sizzling like a snare
Honey, I'm on fire, I feel it everywhere
Nothing scares me anymore 

Venus and Mars

Every woman has a male (Mars) energy inside of her. Just as every man has a female (Venus) energy inside of him.
The placement of Venus in a woman’s chart shows you how that woman needs to be loved. For example, if a woman has Venus in Gemini, she likes lots of communication. She operates from needing a mental connection. If it is in Leo, she needs dramatic expressions of love, and some degree of luxury for good measure. Each Zodiac sign signifies a different approach to the woman’s basic love nature. 

For a man, his Venus shows you what type of female he is attracted to. So, if he has Venus in Scorpio, he needs someone who is comfortable with his eroticism.  If he has Venus in Libra, he wants a woman who is very refined and classy. You can see how useful this information is! If you are not feeding your partner’s basic love nature (which might be very different from your own) then things can get rocky. 

Mars in a woman’s chart shows you what type of man turns her on. If a woman has Mars in Aries, she needs a fiery athletic man. If she has Mars in Pisces, she requires a man who is soft and gentle.    

Always remember, Mars represents male energy and how one moves forward in life. Venus represents the female energy and how we want to express love. 

Your Mars, both in sign and aspects, also shows how your sexual energy is stimulated.

I mentioned that Mars in a woman’s chart shows what type of man she is physically attracted to.  Mars in a man’s chart will show how he will want to assert his masculinity, and impress someone.  For example, take Mars in Gemini in a man’s chart.  How might someone like this try to impress you?  In a Gemini way!  He’d love to use words, and his intellect, to cleverly seduce you.  If a man has Mars in Leo, he might try to impress you in a dramatic Leo style, such as, “Let’s go to the Four Seasons for dinner!”  So remember that Venus has more to do with your emotional needs and Mars is more about your physical needs.

 

Ja olet elossa

"Kriisiä toisensa jälkeen. Mieli muuttuu kuin tuuliviiri. Usein tuntuu ettet tiedä kuka olet. Muut ihmiset näyttävät silmissäsi joko pahoilta tai hyviltä, välimaastoa ei ole, kaikki on niin mustavalkoista. Tuntuu, että olet usein joko ahdistunut, masentunut tai vihainen. Vasta painoksi taas impulsiivinen ja vauhdikas. Ääripäitä. Takerrut ihmisiin joko täysin tai työnnät heidät mahdollisimman kauas itsestäsi. Ristiriitoja on joka puolella. Muistisi on alkanut pätkiä. Olet hämmentynyt ettet pysty muistamaan yksinkertaisiakaan asioita samalla tavalla kuin ennen. Kaadat viskiä taas kurkusta alas, hetken ajan haluat vain unohtaa. Humalassa kaikki on helpompaa. Kun viina on tarpeeksi noussut päähäsi isket tämän illan säädön. Harrastat merkityksetöntä seksiä, joka sillä hetkellä tuntuu hyvältä sekä hauskalta. Jälkeen päin rankaiset itseäsi taas siitä. Olosi tuntuu sietämättömältä sekä yksinäiseltä jälleen. Huomaat taas pian löytäväsi itsesi hänen syleilystä. Miten päädyt aina tähän vain uudestaan?"

"Maailmasi näyttää valoisalta pitkästä aikaa. Kuin olisit herännyt pitkästä talviunesta. Aikaa on kulunut jo yli vuosi. Miten päädyit pohjalta takaisin elävien kirjoihin? Kysyt sitä varmasti itseltäsi usein ja tiedät myös siihen vastauksen. Kaiken sen ajan kun välttelit ihmisiä ettet tulisi hylätyksi ja tunsit itsesi yksinäiseksi, et kuitenkaan ollut yksin. Sinulla oli aina se yksi ihminen vierelläsi, joka menisi vaikka läpi tulen, kiven ja jään pelastaakseen sinut." 

"Näe minut, minä olen todellinen minäsi, joka puhuu sinulle. Kuule minut, minä kerron sinulle totuuden. Usko minua, koska minä en koskaan hylkäisi sinua niin kuin sairautesi, joka istuttaa sinulle vääristyneitä ja myrkyllisiä ajatuksia tajuntaasi. Löydä oma sisäinen äänesi. Pystyt ihan mihin vain jos vain uskot itseesi."

Sensitive

"Draco is the kind of person who would play his cards close to his chest when it comes to expressing feelings, but Harry on the other hands knows him so well it wouldn't be an issue for him to see the real feelings Draco has."  

The air shifts as you come up behind me. I sense the warmth of your hand before it comes to rest tentatively on my shoulder. I should shrug you off, but I don't. I take what comfort I can from a simple touch, though I'll never let you see it.


"It was like one of his fantasies come true, which made it feel less than real but more than perfect."

Castor and Pollux

The symbol for Gemini is a pair of twin boys.

The model for Gemini is the twin sons of the Spartan queen, Leda - Pollux and Castor. The two, despite being twins, have different fathers, with a peculiar back-story. Zeus was in love with the beautiful queen Leda, so he transformed into a swan to seduce her. They made love, making Leda pregnant with Zeus’ son. However, she also slept with her husband the same night, leading to her being pregnant with another son. Thus, Pollux was born an immortal demigod with the blood of Zeus, while Castor was born a mere human. Despite this, the two had exceptional brotherly love for each other and would do everything together. 

Pollux possessed great physical strength, while Castor possessed great ingenuity. But one day, Castor died from a fight,causing great despair for Pollux. No matter how hard he tried, he could not kill himself due to his immortality. He cried out to Zeus: “If I cannot be with my brother, then I do not want to be immortal". Zeus, taking pity on the two and admiring their love for each other, offered to halve Pollux’s immortality and share it with Castor. This is how they became a bright constellation in the night sky, side-by-side.

Gemini is a dual sign and needs focus in order to resolve the apparent dual natures of their being, as illustrated in the myth of Castor and Pollux. It is only apparent: this is not like the situation with Pisces where the two fish are bound together and swimming in different directions. Although one is an equestrian and the other a pugilist, the Gemini twins are inseparable and move as one.

Adrenalize Me

"It is very endearing - letting someone look into your heart from behind."  

"To know it is to be fearless, and to know it is to be full of love." 

Such words..

"It was not a one way thing. If you want to play the blame game then you get to take half of the responsibility."

"In that moment it became clear that the caring was now a two way process; both of them having scars for the other to acknowledge and soothe."

1. Se mitä annat eteenpäin, tulee takaisin. Aina.

2. Kirjoitat itse oman tarinasi. Älä anna muiden kirjoittaa sitä.

4. Kun ihmiset näyttävät sinulle todellisen karvansa, usko ensimmäisestä kerrasta.

5. Murehtiminen on ajanhukkaa. Käytä energiasi murehtimisen sijaan huolta aiheuttavien asioiden muuttamiseen.

6. Se mihin uskot on merkityksellisempää kuin se, mitä toivot tai mistä unelmoit. Sinusta tulee se, mihin uskot.

7. Jos ainoa rukous, jonka koskaan lausut on kiitos, se on tarpeeksi.

8. Onni jota tunnet on suoraan verrannollinen rakkauteen, jota jaat ympärillesi.

9. Epäonnistuminen on tienviitta, joka osoittaa sinut oikeaan suuntaan.

10. Jos teet päätöksen, joka on vastoin kaikkien muiden mielipiteitä, maailma ei siihen kaadu.

11. Luota vaistoosi. Intuitio ei valehtele.

12. Rakasta itseäsi ja opettele sitten rakastamaan muita.

13. Valitse ammatti, jota kohtaan tunnet intohimoa.

14. Rakkaus ei satu. Se tuntuu todella hyvältä.

15. Jokainen päivä on mahdollisuus aloittaa alusta.

16. Jos epäilet jotain, älä ryntää mihinkään.

17. Jos et tiedä mitä tehdä, pysähdy paikoillesi. Vastaus selviää sinulle kyllä.

18. Ongelmat eivät kestä ikuisesti.

19. Kaikki menee joskus ohi.

20. Ole rehellinen itsellesi kaikessa mitä teet.

Got That Summertime

Järkemme on luonteeltaan tutkija. Se tarkkailee kaiken aikaa ympäristöään, arvioi sitä, suorittaa kokeita, arvioi, muuttaa jotain, tarkkailee, arvioi... Se ei oikeasti tunne mitään - se vain analysoi. Myös tunteita.

My Obsession

"Hän ei yleensä antautunut näin paljoa toisen käsittelyyn, mutta välillä oli mukava tehdä  poikkeus. Ja se tuntui hyvältä. Antautua ja olla haavoittuva. Se teki hänestä ihmisen, samalla kun toinen teki hänestä elävän. 

Kynnet painautuivat tuon elämänlähteen selkään ja jättivät merkin. Merkin, että kaikki tietäisivät kenelle tuo mies kuuluu."

“What I love, I hang on to. With both hands, and my teeth, if I can get a good grip.”

“Even if it doesn’t love you?”

“Even then. Especially then. Anybody can love something that loves you back. The other way takes a certain amount of effort.”
