About Me


Michelle --
[adjective]:
Visually addictive
'How will you be defined in the dictionary?' at QuizGalaxy.com
Scorpios -- "Scorpio's are fascinating, but not always easy or likeable. They can be insensitive to people they consider less capable than themselves. They go straight for the jugular and heaven help those who cross their path at a bad time. With no great need for approval, the Scorpio feels completely free to do their own thing. An important clue to understanding them is to realize they trust no one, not even themselves. And because they mistrust, they become fanatically self-protective and secretive about their feelings."
Universal characteristics of The Scorpio/Goat:
    Dedication Sovereignty Magnetism Inspiration Tenderness Discipline Mercilessness Fanaticism Revenge Sadism Suspicion Intransigence Invention Lack of Foresight Perseverance Whimsy Good Manners Impracticality Sensitivity Tardiness (Amen to that!) Pessimism Good Taste Anxiety

By combining creativity with dependency, you might think we would come up with a sort of brilliant layout genius. (I do believe you have, BUT I digress) Yes Scorpios born in Goat years are busily inventive and perhaps the least lazy of all oat subjects. Nonetheless, Scorpio/Goats always live off others. By this I don’t mean they refuse to work -- FAR from it. Their choice in work is invariably dependent on a structure coming from without. They are NOT disciplined people. Once they recognize this fact about themselves, they can set about having their lives structured by outside forces. The force can take the form of marriage, a business, a child or two (don’t know about that one), a course of study, or even a lover or mistress (wink wink).But whatever the structure, you can be certain it does not come from within the scatty Scorpio/Goat himself. Inside, the Scorpio/Goat is a roiling cauldron of invention, new ideas, schemes, plans, and dreams -- some of them realizable and many of them totally off-the-wall useless. You see, the Scorpio/Goat is the opposite of practical. He is eccentric and erratic. He has spurts of genius and is truly gifted artistic endeavor. But he is also hyper idealistic about his projects. He wants his plans followed (by others of course) to the letter. He operates largely for the sake of his own gain. He wants both the glory and the returns. This makes him, despite his good intentions, an unwitting user. Scorpio/Goats are interested in absolutely EVERYTHING. They like to be aware of all news, up to date on styles, and they follow the careers of new artists and such. They are even a tiny bit snobbish intellectually, and they are blatantly and irrevocably know-it-alls. There is no subject upon which this person will not expound. “Do you know why the traffic pattern in Schipol Airport was altered?” Nope. “Well, because the people who come from Malaysia …” and on and on. You don’t have to talk at all in tête-à-têtes with Scorpio/Goats. Just sit there with your ears open. They’ll tell you everything you need to know and then some.To the naked eye the person appears fragile and delicate (debatable), as though he or she might not survive a brisk wind. Yet, inside that frail, brittle shell is a person of gorilla strength. The eccentric style and the bizarre behavior are meant to throw you off, to make you think there really isn’t a Scorpio in there at all. Don’t be fooled. Scorpio/Goat is no stranger to the use of force. He rarely takes his time to understand the alternatives. He wants head-on collisions or else he isn’t interested. Too, under the guise of expansive generosity, adopting poor relations, and jettisoning silver dollars at bums on the street, these people are avid for the last penny in transactions of all sorts. They like to think of themselves as philanthropic, but they are actually quite unashamedly miserly under certain circumstances.The beauty of the Scorpio/Goat is his or her rainbow of curiosity. This person wants to know how to play the piano and dance the tango, ride horses, and program computers. He’s earnestly attracted to cultural events and enjoys great talent of his own. If he can find the necessary structure, his talents can blossom. Without it, he will become dissipated and disillusioned.Good Scorpio/Goat career choices: poet/writer, singer, commercial artist, painter, sculptor, interior decorator, hairdresser, dance instructor, psychologist, plastic surgeon, video clip/art director.
