Who are you?


Do you love to work till wee hours of the morning, toiling away and providing for your family? Are you sincere, down to earth, hardworking, perseverant, and does being reserved come across as one of your traits?

Or maybe you are one of those people who loves meeting people, knowing them, going into the insides of their psyche and discovering worlds and perspectives hidden from everyone else. You might love the ocean of knowledge so much that every field interests you in an uncanny way. The pearls of wisdom you collect from your thousand acquaintances might just make you confident enough to be detached in your seemingly airy head (which by the way thinks that being quirky is amazing and confidently struts it) while deep inside you have a soft spot and believe in that ‘one true love’.

Some people are however much more dreamy. Not lost in their dream world, but so engrossed in their imaginations that they bring them to life with their brilliant inimitable artistic side. It is natural for those to feel the pain of others, for the one who can be lost in a world of their own creation can somehow truly understand the world’s around. Are you one of those?

Or maybe you are simply the ram-head types you know. Those tactless, straight-faced childish folks who somehow lack the diplomacy and yet their honesty wins you at some level. Their personalities simply define the word ‘proactive’ and ‘go-getter’. In all their naivety and childishness there’s still this fresh zeal which translates into instant activity. It is like they are born on the start line of a race, waiting for the whistle to blow and hear ‘on your marks, get set, go!’

Some are however lazy. Like the cattle. Eating, lazing around, and enjoying the soft comfort of the beautiful green grass, lolling in nature, loving the scent of the spring around. They look like statues who are made to just enjoy the world. But beneath that boring stagnant exterior, they are the most loyal, hardworking, trustworthy, ambitious and rich folks you will ever meet. Adept with the arts, great with money, in touch with every sense of theirs, they are like antique paintings with the royal touch of everything.

If not, maybe you might be confused. Like all the time. Thoughts might flit in your head like busy city highways, with multiple trains running around, in that brilliant mind of yours which can make sense of a lot of data and just needs to somehow decide between two options. Talking about city highways and lights, you might love the dance, music and life around. Acting, communicating, travelling might be just your vent. A mixture of a million interests, a dance of intelligence, a child of twin-thoughts, who believes in one true love. That just might be you.

Or maybe you are the one who believes in living in a shell, at least emotionally. Maybe your emotions are like the soft sensitive skin of a crustacean, a single poke or blow can make it bleed. Intimacy comes at the price of loyalty and respect and no one else on the planet could understand it better than you. So you are better off creating that safe haven for yourself in some nook or corner of the world. To the world you might be a magician who somehow knows everything the world is feeling, but who will not let them in unless they touch that magical soft sweet soul of yours.

Is sensitivity not your thing? Maybe being the center of attention and loving it, and being unapologetically honest and expecting loyalty in return is more your thing. Maybe you know your place in the world, and it has to be at the front, never ever at the back. Sitting around moaning and whining and shabby and poor is the last thing you will ever do. Being glamorous and gutsy and making the world move in a direction you know is best is more your style. Money is not just a word, it is a necessity and a luxury which you truly deserve, or at least you think you do.

Or maybe you are more of the calm, easy going types. Being meticulously perfect in everything is your mantra. Being super analytical and a mine of facts and figures makes you stand out. It’s not easy to become friends with you, maybe since good things don’t come easy.

You could also be one of those fair types you know. Those who will judge each and everything on a meter which is defined by morals and not biases. You might love the soft sweet things in life and talk your way out of anything and to anyone with your diplomacy and manners, but sometimes the crap which goes around you troubles you more than anyone else.

If not any of these, you might just be an extremely keen and intense person. You might have already been wondering where is this going and whether this is the part where all your juicy secrets which you so cleverly and dearly hold close are going to be revealed here. You are a powerhouse of emotion and passion and ambition in disguise. It is hard to lie to you, or wait, should I say impossible to deceive you. You do not need those counselling sessions at all or those boosts of confidence, but people who have wronged you even once need those, since they still cannot recover from the rebound blows. The most vicious and yet the most capable to get anything they want. You might be just one of those. Now that would be lucky I would say.

Talking about lucky, there are some who have the luck as well as the sense to use it. Maybe you are one of those. Those strong determined futuristic happy go lucky folks who will get what they want by working the usual hard working way. It is hard to not feel happy with you around, what with all the humor and optimism. You carry around a happy charm and are unabashedly honest about everything, at one point it is difficult to doubt you. ‘Fun and ambition, here I come!’ seems to be your constant motto. A keeper of friends and a light hearted brilliant person, that’s what you are.

 

For those of you still wondering, described above are the twelve zodiac signs. While I am not a professional expert on the same, a bunch of zodiac cards about many years ago and google and Linda Goodman and people got me curious about this. I am not a believer or an unbeliever, but being intrigued often by the sheer variety of psyches and personalities and people, and being the innately curious about people person that I am, zodiac is like that map to a destination you just want to reach, knowing that maybe that destination does not even exist. It is like those Harry Potter books (forgive the childish reference :P), you know Dumbledore was never there, but you just want to meet him regardless, and know every thought that might have flitted through that brilliant head of his. I hope you related to at least one or more of the above, and maybe just maybe that maps to your zodiac sign. By the way, the first one is Capricorn and it follows from their in the correct order of the zodiac right up to Sagittarius. And yes, I am supposedly a Taurean by sun sign and Aquarian by moon sign though. And while I try my best to never judge my people on this, I am quite a fan of the Scorpios. Given a chance, I would be reborn as one :P. Just saying.
