The 13th Sign…???

           I had decided that all my blogs will be blog-worthy in 2011 and not comprise everything that crosses my mind – as for that purpose I have facebook! 

           Now, this news deserves a blog…at least from an avid horoscope reader (for most of my life), a fanatic astrologically dependent human (for the longest time ever) – who has moved 'slightly' away just a 'short' time ago. 

           When I went out with my first boyfriend, 26 years ago in Pune, he was so sure that his throaty voice was due to his Taurean Sun-sign. So much so, that he played the only song he knew on his guitar and yes the throaty voice (quite nice) for the entire 3 years I dated him. I always thought he and I got along so very well because he was very 'fiery'. He has the infant quality of 'me-first' too. Back then, I could not have ever dreamt that he would eventually turn out to be an Aries! That explains why we are even till today, despite a never-talk-to-me-again break-up 23 years ago, one marriage each to other people which ended about 10 years ago for both of us - we are even till today, like I said in each other’s lives in the most wonderful way that not even many married couples can achieve. 

           Ok, let me explain back then I was a Saggi going out with a Taurean and how could things work out considering all my decisions were based on the Sun-sign matching. And now I am STILL a Saggi!!! Yay, yay, yay…and he is a new found Aries, as of today. See how easy it is to get the real reason for us getting along sorted out now? Many conversations have taken place in the last year - me stating that perhaps he is the ONE for me or some such message to him; and we are best pals too - and finally it will be easier for me to believe that we get along well simply because we are meant to - as fellow fire signs - Aries and Saggi, not because of his Beemer X5 or the huge financial advantages he can offer and has been the case for all the while last year or so, through my career change and simultaneous recession. It never mattered to him then 24 years ago when I said "You are not meant for me", hinting at the astrological mis-match! He had said, “I am a bull remember, nothing angers me”. This seems to me like showing the bull the red cloth. I am so glad he is an Aries.

           The lover mentioned in my first book, much as I believed I loved him then; I knew – somehow just knew that he was not really the smooth talking, suave, greatest lover of the Zodiac – Libran, that his date of birth suggested. In fact his ever so weary habit of getting into all the nitty-gritties should have warned me there lay a Virgo somewhere, and guess what – it does! Aha…and a Virgo- Saggi match was not very highly rated I recall my days and nights with a certain Linda Goodman.

            My ex-husband – the Scorpio passionate lover, had never managed to do that kind of magic to me at least; perhaps because he is a Virgo too! I write this as I roll on the floor, with laughter ofcourse!

           My son is a Taurean as I got to know today, and his stubborn gene has only recently been cancelled, pulled and replaced in Theta. We thought his habit of talking and eating at the same time may have been a Gemini trait of multi-tasking and being/ doing everything all at once. Never a silent moment with them, they say. Well he has a throaty voice, now that I think about it…hmmm, so he is a Taurean then from today.

           My sis is a Virgo as of today, and she always said that she was even when the charts said she was a Libran (she was on the Virgo-Libran cusp), she said I FEEL like a Virgo. She'll be happy to know that she was just better tuned in, sometimes we just know.

           My mom she has done it yet again, she really has surprised me, never failed to do so till today; and has done it again! She has easily moved from being a Saggi which she surely was till yesterday to being the 13th sign today – Ophiuchus.

           Ophiuchus: The Dude with the Sepent. Symbolized as dividing the serpent into two hrizontally. Healer. And what have you – this does describe her quite aptly. Been there done that many a time, I have witnessed her in this avatar.

           The ONLY one that hasn’t changed is ME….aaahhh stable ole me…the very trust worthy Saggitarian! Once a Saggi always a Saggi...the First boyfriend, Lover, Ex-husband, Son, Sis and Mom are all people I have to get to know again – all of them have been assigned to new Sun-signs.

           Linda Goodman it was nice knowing you. You do know I always wished for an affair with an Aries because you said it was magical for Saggi woman to be with the Aries man. Do you know 26 years ago I was actually in this magical relationship and then one day I kicked him in the ‘you-know-where’ because – well because he was a Tarus and not an Aries !?

           But being is a Saggi is a very lucky thing to be, and you know I still have him around and this time he is an Aries! Being the sentimental thing that a Saggi woman is I MADE sure he stayed in my life despite many challenges!!! Aaaah the thrill of the adventure...

           And now Linda it is time to kick the wisdom you provided into the next upgraded format…and even as I say bye-bye to you – I will always thank you for instilling it into me that the fire that the Saggi- Aries make cannot ever die.

           That is what makes my hearth warm, even today.

           ‘Trust-worthy’ Saggi-ily yours,

           Latika.

           P.S. Some blogs say the signs will be the same 12 with different dates, so any way the message is still the same, those important characters around me have all moved to different signs, except me. In that case, my ex-husband will then be a Libran (he balanced the affair and me very well !!!) and my mom will be a Scorpio - again she gets me by surprise...that is if they still have the same 12 signs with the new dates for each sign...my heart says there is the 13th one being squeezed in !!! :-)
