By the way, do you pronounce Gemini like GEM IN EYE (most common) or like the astronauts pronounced it during the Gemini missions - (JEM-uh-nee) The second sounds a lot more like Jiminy, hence lends itself to the pun more readily.

I don't know really. I never really say my username out loud very much. The idea came observing my German friend Axel who pronounces 'Gemini' like JEM-uh-nee. We were looking at a telescope called 'Gemini' on top of Mauna Kea on the Big Island. I told him that it sounded like he kept saying 'Jiminy'...

Everyone I know who is into astrology tells me that Libra and Pisces is a bad match. I mean, Ralphie and I are opposites, that's what makes it work.

They also tell me that Pisces and Scorpio is a good match. Imagine... me and Leo... ewwwww!

I'm a Leo, and I'm married to a Leo. We do have issues related to what our signs typically represent- leadership, selfishness, materialistic leanings, etc. The main prob is that I'm not like most Leo's- my mom says my Pisces moon cancels out my Leonine tendancy to be materialistic and makes me value the spiritual side of life more. I can't say that she's right as to the reason but I don't seem to follow the norm with regards to Leo behavior, excepting the big hair, of course.

(If I were a true Leo, I might tolerate my spouse's behavior better, although I suspect we'd be in the poorhouse).

I'd rather not!

But...hey, um, MBC....what's your sign?

Maybe my new signature line?

Sagittarius and Cancer are supposed to be about as bad a match as you can get, I think. I'm such a rule-breaker!

I think astrology can be fun, but when you're scheduling life events around the planetary alignment it's a PITA. ( I'm sure the Reagans' employees would agree).

(Oh, my ascendant is Gemini- the site got my sign right).

I'm trying to figure out how it got mine wrong, then... Oh well..

I know they made business decisions around it, and strangely were successful (I could speak of the effects of just believing something doing well and self-fulfillment). I remember my great aunt telling me that when she married my uncle JB, she told him they'd be together 29 years (she died shortly after their 29th anniversary - about a year or so after she told me this). She asked my mom one fine February day if she was pregnant, which according to the doctors wasn't supposed to be a possibility, and lo a doctor's appointment three weeks later showed that she was. Weird stuff. I don't know if I register an opinion on it all. My brain says one thing, my gut is a little freaked out by the rest.

Confident and honest, you'll be the one to say what everyone is thinking.

You are easily bored, and you always find unique ways to do things.
You don't just dream it, you do it. And that's why you're so successful.

Too intense for some, often times people are intimidated by you.
But you're usually smart enough to charm them anyway!

Hmm, I'd say mostly correct. It describes me at work more than at home, where I become a lazy uninspiring couch potato.

This is me too. All the way down to CPs comments.

Clean the house you say? No thanks, I have to spend quality time with my couch.
