I can't even remember what we were really talking about - but it was something about me being a workaholic and howcome I have so much knowledge about so many things... And then Antti asked me if I was a virgo or a sagittarius in the western zodiac, since I'm such a perfectionist by nature? Well, I'm a cancer and everyone in the room was a bit surprised about that. And then I tried to remember, which ascending sign I am... Well, seems like I did save my Natal Chart a friend did me a few years back, and I reread it this morning and have to say... it is scarily accurate about so many things!
My ascending sign is actually gemini. And this is what it means according to my chart: "You are an extroverted person, eloquent and interested in nearly everything. Still you feel like you aren’t progressing enough and aren’t informed enough about everything."
And since the sun was in the first house when I was born (this has to do with the time of my birth, around 1:30am):
"You prefer to earn success completely independently and it has brought you a certain amount of respect, which you also crave for. You are the kind of person who wants to stand out in a crowd. It’s important for you to know enough about everything to be considered an authority on any subject. This also satisfies your craving for admiration."
Fun facts:
Mars in Virgo
"You intend to use your energies to fulfill your responsibilities to everyone’s satisfaction, if not above and beyond their satisfaction. Your endurance and practical skills can bring you great success, but you should watch out that you don’t become too much of a perfectionist and automatically measure others by your own standards. You love to work on details and will choose a career in which precision is necessary. You may work in the health field because Virgo is associated with the body and with health."
Jupiter in Virgo
"You don’t go off into long drawn out speeches, but try to get right to the point and apply a concrete solution to the problem. You constantly check your convictions for their practical effectiveness. You don’t spend a lot of time studying theory. When people dedicate themselves to luxury, they may become lazy and don’t fulfill their obligations. You find that the world would be a different place if everyone would take responsibility for themselves and apply themselves to their work the way they should. You hate decadence and no one dares to approach you with self pity. When someone is really in need of your help, you don’t hesitate to sacrifice yourself."
Saturn in Virgo
"Knowledge gained from experience will enable you to use what you have learned effectively making you a valued colleague. Once you have managed to overcome the divisions between the body and soul and realize the value of a stable state of health, you can serve as an example to others. You pay attention to your bodily signals and keep yourself in shape."
Those who have worked with me, will recognize this side of me pretty well. :)
