So (isn’t it funny how all the background stories start off
this way?) I was having lunch with a group of my co-works and I must have been
saying some pretty off the wall stuff because the girl across the table from me
stared me down and politely asked “what is your sign?” I said Gemini and she
replied “oh, that explains it…you just be saying whatever you want and don’t
care.” A lengthy discussion about astrology and the zodiac signs and their
meanings soon followed. I commented that I really didn’t pay that stuff any
attention because thought I fit some of the traits of a Gemini, many of the
characteristic I don’t feel apply.
Yet, without a doubt I do encompass the twins…and I didn’t
realize until we were having this conversation that I had in fact named them:
THE and Soulglo. After I came to this realization I remember discussion with a
friend about the switching over my MySpace from Soulglo to THE. I told her that
the ideal first profile was more than humble and laid back while the new one
was more arrogant and “out there.” She even commented on the fact that I was
admitting that THE was an arrogant persona. Even the main pictures and chosen
songs conformed to those themes.
Soulglo is very humble, reserved, soft spoken and tactful. Retrospectful.
A good listener and willing to offer advice. Actually listens more than her
talks. Very warm and compassionate. Respectful. Tends to be more of an
observer, borders on being shy and tends to be subconscious of himself. Deep
thinker. The intellectual.. Thinks more and acts less. THE is very confident
and self assured. Outspoken and loud. Can take the center of attention and not
car who’s watching and what they have to say. Impatient. Easily annoyed with
people and will let it be known. Spontaneous. Sarcastic. Witty. Off the wall
comments often taken as being mean. Damn near arrogant.
So I further researched the traits of the Gemini and found
the following:
In Gemini, it is the intellect that man needs to develop in
order to understand the universe. This stage is concerned primarily with
information-gathering and Geminis never seem to stop collecting it. They need
to express ideas and share information with others, but what they do with their
information is another matter. The mature Gemini becomes a serious scholar and
careful researcher. The immature Gemini turns into a gossip and the proverbial
"jack-of all-trades and master of none".
Geminis readily adapt to change. They not only have a
unique ability to understand what others are thinking, they also possess great
cleverness for imitation. In this way they can maneuver themselves into many
favorable positions. They tend to say what others want to hear instead of
saying what they really think, or what they know to be the truth.
Geminis react intellectually to everything they experience
in life. That is, before they take physical action, before they assess the
practical worth of something, and before they sort out their true emotions,
they try to analyze things objectively as a kind of mental exercise. Though it is
generally not a true assessment, the intellectual orientation of Geminis can
make it appear to others as though they are unfeeling or emotionally
superficial.
Those born with Sun in Gemini are talkative, quick witted,
and have innate curiosity about everything. Easily jumping from one subject to
another, they forget that others are not so nimble. They often have to be
reminded to slow down and let others catch up with what they're talking about.
Though they can be secretive about their personal affairs, they love to learn
about everyone else. Always wanting to know everything gives them quite a store
of information which in turn, makes them more interesting to others. Add to
that their cheerful, friendly dispositions, and it isn't surprising that they
get along so well in the world.

I still didn’t think this description fit me 100% so
I did more looking and found that supposedly your personality is further
controlled by your moon sign and ascendants. The moon sign controls emotional
traits while the ascendant characterizes physical attributes. Being
that I was born June 17,
1983 around 9am in Chattanooga ,
TN
Except in the pursuit of pleasure (to which many of them
can be quite dedicated) those born with the moon in an Earth sign are not
emotionally spontaneous. They donÕt nonchalantly accept the responsibility of
long-term relationships, or analyze emotional commitments merely as a mental
exercise. They may hesitate to move at all unless they feel they are on solid
ground, or there is some personal advantage to be gained by their emotional
involvement.

While my ascendant is the
leo: Craves abundance, Spendthrift, Congenial, Fun-loving, Attracts many
friends.
Leo indicates energy and enthusiasm. Once motivated, they
seldom hesitate to act. In spite of their energy and enthusiasm however, they
can also be inclined to physical laziness. Their natural enthusiasm is
responsible for overabundance and a tendency to overestimate everything. When
buying various personal items, for example, they often acquire far more than
they need. Though often rash and hasty, their passions are sincere.

While talking about this at the table they made it
sound like being a Gemini was just the worst, but the double nature of my sign
allows me to adapt and change to the situation; allowing which ever personality
best fits the task to take over. Honesty, all this put together does give a
descent description of me. Or at least the person I think I am. So they’ve made
me a believer….well, more of one than I was before.
