Astralegies II Sagittarius

[serge gurkski]

PA.BIL.SAG

Let's explore for a bit

- it is Sunday. We have time -

the brightness divine
of muteable Zodiac quality
of Sagittarius!

We voyeurs take a seat a bit outside
of the brightest brilliance he is /of his,
say: on nicely clustered M75*?
Our eyes amazed wander downwards through the dark blue,
meeting Cappa, Albadah, Manubrium, Nunki first, and then
turning right to see Hekatebolos, Axilla,
and to the left and up a bit to Nanto, Kaus borealis
to finally sink down on Kaus media and australis
and fade out on Sephdar.
Just another arrangement of stars meaning
some strange things to us, but to themselves
nothing. These mute objects in deep space
have only one concern: to keep in balance
their gravitational equilibrium.
All this brightness then is
nothing but a lesson in Zen.


*Messier 75 or NGC 6864 to be found on the upper left side bordering capricorn.

Are you getting around to a Cancer one?

[serge gurkski]

That is rather likely with 10 still to go. ;-) Scorpio will be next, then Aquarius. But then Cancer, why not?

[rowens]

Most of the women in my life have been Cancers. I'm a Cancer. I'm a Cancer on multiple levels.

[serge gurkski]

I never met a Cancer (knowingly). I am a Sagittarius and feel strangely attracted to female scorpions. But not exclusively.

[rowens]

I'm a crab. And scorpions are dangerous.

[serge gurkski]

Ya, I found out.

[rowens]

You know "The Frog and the Scorpion"?

[serge gurkski]

I had to look it up but remember that I knew it before. As far as I can say: it is true.

[rowens]

Cancer girls use their sign as an excuse a lot. That they're just hiding in their shell, because it's their nature. They get mad, and sit and won't talk. If I try to get near them: "I'm in my shell! Get away!" One said those exact words. The other two I knew in the past said similar things.

I said that I got rid of my shell. My skin's just hard with the calluses from dealing with them.

[serge gurkski]

Self-fulfilling prophecies. As to attraction I at least have no say at all. That is another self-fulfilling prophecy of course but I take mine more seriously. ,-)

[rowens]

I take things seriously too. But laughing is a defense mechanism sometimes. Laugh or die. My jokes are deadly serious.

[serge gurkski]

Laughing seriously is a fine coping strategy. Especially when it comes to women.

[rowens]

He that laughs last usually makes a girl get mad and walk out the door.

[serge gurkski]

Yup. Not really helpful. At least better not show.

[rowens]

They just treat me like a novelty act anyway...

Are each of these poems addressed to someone of the title signs?




...Well she's hiding in her shell because she knows that I know that she didn't really break up with her boyfriend like she told me she did. And if I'm good to her, she feels guilty; but if I get mad and bring up her lies, she gets cold and deflects it back on me. If I loved her, I'd trust her: that's what she says.
