You're a Leo?

Good for you!!

Below my signature, I've pasted something about Leos from some information about 'Sun Signs'. (It's quite long, so it might get truncated by Salon's 1000-word limit- you will find the rest of it at: http://mizian.com.ne.kr/englishwiz/library/names/zodiac/leo.htm.

Read it up if you must. Then throw ALL that crap into the toilet and flush it down with the rest of the sewage. Grow up, for your own sake. FORGET IT!

I'm a Virgo - and I haven't troubled to read any of this kind of shit that the site says applies to me, and I must say I've saved myself a lot of wasted time AND mental and emotional energy by this simple policy decision - to my great benefit...

I totally disagree with that part of CT's advice where he's sort of encouraged you on this: "You are a Leo, yes, and I suppose for those who understand astrology that carries a great deal of weight." Well, he did qualify that with an "I suppose..." - to render that innocuous?

Probably the rest of his advice to you as a possible INFP may be valid. He has provided some sound thoughts about how you could handle your emotional/psychical problems.

My suggestions, for whatever they are worth:

A: Write down 'elements' that 'strike' you from your own ideas and the ideas contributed by Cary and others. Some possible examples follow:

Some elements from your description of problem

1. Solitary, highly introverted

2. Exceptionally sensitive, to any and all stimuli

3. Need personal space (and time), do not get sufficient

4. Cannot readily meet even my own son's needs for motherly attention

5. I'm an overstimulated, agitated, angry, bitching, nervous wreck

6. Believe in 'Sun Signs', believe I'm a "Leo"

7...

...

Some elements from CT's thoughts:

1. Force of LW's emotional energy directed inward

2. LW not necessarily ungenerous or uncaring

3. May be an INFP personality (See http://www.personalitypage.com/INFP.html for explanation of INFP)

4. Needs to understand source of internal conflict in paradox of service-related introvert

5. Energies are within self

6. ...

...

...

X1. Learn how to adjust my circumstances to suit my nature

X2. Learn to visualize what I am trying to get to

X3. Find out the kind of help I need, and where I can get it

X4. Forge alliances with other creative people (some of whom may be able to understand my problems)...

...

(And so on. My articulation of all the above would not be the best or the right words for you - do it yourself so that your elements truly reflect yourself).

B:Learn how to put those elements together, by finding out just how the various things that are recommended (by CT / by others on this thread/ by your own thoughts) may "contribute to or "hinder/prevent" whatever it is that you may wish to accomplish in life. There is a little technology involved in organising the huge amount of material you will get if you go this route. The technology is quite easy to learn how to use - but if you learn how to use it, you will surely understand the 'patterns' that lie beneath the surface of your problems, and those patterns could, if you learn how to recognize and use them, help you very significantly in tackling your problems. Should you be interested to find out, write to me at gs (underscore) chandy (at) yahoo (dot) com, and I shall be happy to send you some free information and freely available software that should help you a good bit...

About Leos (mainly to be flushed away from your mind)

It looked good-natured, she thought;

still, it had very long claws and a great many teeth, so she felt it ought to be treated with respect.

Has anyone said to you lately, "Don't do me any favors," but dazzled you with an utterly gorgeous smile as he said it? You've been exposed to the big cat. Don't worry, you'll recover. What's a little scorched spot here and there? It's not at all unusual for Leo to display his arrogant pride and his sunny playfulness at the same time, which is why he gets away with murder.

Leo, the lion, rules all the other animals. Leo, the person, rules you and everybody else. (Yes, yes, I know he really doesn't. But please don't tell him. It would break his big, warm, egotistical heart.) It's best to humor him. Then he'll purr, instead of roaring and scaring you half to death. The lion alternates between being energetically gregarious and beautifully indolent, as he stifles a luxurious yawn. If you want to study the beast, hit all the bright, sparkling places around town. At least half the people you see living it up in style will be Leos. The shyer pussycats will be at home living it up. Leo hates the dark and bore¡©dom equally.

If you see ...

In my last, under the title of "First, flush the rubbish away..., I had stated that I would SEND the useful software I had recommended, to anyone who would write in to me. Sorry, that was in error. I shall invite you to join a YahooGroup from where you can easily download and install the software. Sorry about the error...
