Tour Diary August 2001

Driving through the clean orderly streets of Arcata we read the nice review of our book in the paper and then read Free Will Astrology out loud to each other. Mine, as always, offered only the dull and practical. Other people get mad adventure and wild romance and doom, but I get tips on starting savings accounts.

My newspaper astrological chart does capture certain aspects of my personality; I am actually a practical, resourceful person, but I m not nearly as dull or thick-skinned as I'm led to believe each week. I asked Ariel, "Why am I so sensitive but nobody knows, and people feel they can say whatever mean thing they like to me?"

She replied "Your sun sign, Capricorn, is who you are at heart. Your moon sign, Scorpio, is who you are in your daily life. Your rising, Aries, is how you appear to others and what you become as your life progresses. The Scorpio is the sensitive sign in your chart, who you are in your daily life. But you appear tough and mean, with the Aries rising, so people assume you are not going to be sensitive. Know what I mean?"

I pursed my lips and thought about it. "So if I read Scorpio that will be more accurate?"

"Sort of."

"And since Scorpio and Capricorn are both kind of domineering, I can just change to Scorpio."

Maria Fabulosa eyed me and Ariel laughed. "Okay."

I decided that I was a Scorpio for the rest of the summer. When people argued with me that nobody can change their sign, I replied that I can so, because I am a Capricorn.
