Jun. 7th, 2004 10:55 pmOnce the Bull decides to go after something, it's a done deal. Your fixed nature means that if you join a gym, you'll get your money's worth, and if you start in on an activity, you won't just give it up.
*snerk* Yeah, right.
You have your rights, but rights have their limits. You're not a free agent but a single element in a tightly programmed operation. Check with others before you try to make those sweeping changes that seem so logical to you. Somewhere, somebody's toes are getting stepped on. This person probably has a different idea that's just as good to him or her as yours is to you. You try to make a convincing case, but don't become obnoxious in your enthusiasm. So much for the strategic value of a high profile. Don't rock the boat any further until things calm down.
Um...that kinda makes sense. In more than one way, actually...
In his book The Gulag Archipelago, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn documents the Soviet Union's oppression of many ethnic groups between 1918 and 1956. "Only one nation would not give in, nor acquire the mental habits of submission," he noted. "These were the Chechens. They never sought to please, to ingratiate themselves with the bosses . . . No one could stop them from living as they did." I don't mean to imply that the manipulative pressures coming to bear on you, Taurus, are anywhere near as severe as what the Chechens experienced. In fact, your version might be rather covert or subtle. But I urge you, nevertheless, to stand up in defense of your independent spirit with a Chechen-like clarity and ferocity.
Hm. Well, that's Freewill Astrology for you...
