Astrology: Treat Yo Signs

I have a profound love for astrology. So, when I found a post on Tumblr detailing rather poetically how to treat each of the signs, I couldn't resist sharing it with you. Credits to the original source of the post: lame-astrology.tumblr.com.

The Signs And What They Should Be Treated Like


♈️ Aries: Like an oasis. Like they are salvation in a territory of blank cruelty. Their kindness and generosity should be shared, but protected from those who wish to taint it.

♉️ Taurus: Like a home. They are always someone who is associated with comfort and normality, but they are never to be disrespected or abused, because while they stand tall, they could easily come crumbling down, broken.

♊️ Gemini: Like a classic book. Their length of wisdom and truth is timeless. Be careful when dealing with them. One wrong move could spin their pages forever, and tear their seams. They should be cared for, and their stories should be told to everyone.

♋️ Cancer: Like your favourite old song. They should be remembered and loved by everyone. Just the sound of them should bring joy and nostalgia to people far and near. They have a way of speaking to people, no matter the background.

♌️ Leo: Like a dagger. Their beauty may be intimidating and seem far away, but close enough, their edges are sharp, ready to pierce and ready to defend themselves against all who plan to fight. They are to be sheathed and cared for.

♍️ Virgo: Like a mug. A mug is used to be filled up with liquids to warm your body and quench your thirst, despite the cracks and dents in it. We often look past the signs to fill our own needs. But, if you are not careful, the one crack should lead to the entire thing shattering. They should be repaired, and loved for all their imperfections as well as their perfections.

♎️ Libra: Like a piece of glass. If you hurt them, and are lucky enough to be forgiven, just remember you have left a crack on their exterior, and it will always be a reminder to them.

♏️ Scorpio: Like a fire. Their light should be shielded from the wind, protected and kindled, so it can burn brighter and brighter. Their warmth may be soft, but it is not to be taken lightly, because fires can engulf and destroy as well.

♐️ Sagittarius: Like a rare flower. Their beauty may be brilliant, but that doesn't mean they don't need reassurance from time to time that they are incredible and one of a kind.

♑️ Capricorn: Like the stars. Even though you only see them from occasionally, you know they're constantly there, and appreciate their presence and guidance. Their light is always a constant reminder that darkness doesn't have to be so lonely after all.

♒️ Aquarius: Like a storm. They may be unpredictable and hasty, but if you battle through the hardships and roughness, you will get to the centre. And learn that there's nothing to be afraid of after all.

♓️ Pisces: Like a pen. They inspire you and help you channel your creativity, but if you mess up, it leaves a mark that can only fade with time. They should not be taken for granted or left behind when they run out of ink. They should be cherished forever for getting you through a time when you needed a spark of creativity most.

What's your sign?

The Power of Passion

I am naturally drawn to passionate people. People whose eyes sparkle when they talk about something they love, and whose mouths practically run away when they talk about their hobbies, dreams, or goals. It gives me hope for their future, and makes me believe in the possibilities the future holds.

I find passionate people emanate self-motivation and energy. They make sublime leaders, advice givers, and friends. I aim to surround myself with such people. Passionate people (here comes my favourite phrase) feed fire to my soul, and make me want to make my dreams a reality.

I believe that passion, determination, and hard work are the key qualities needed to make your dreams come true. Passion, so that your heart palpitates with pure exhilaration whenever your dream crosses your mind. Determination, so that you keep your head held high, your eyeline towards the stars, keep drawing air into your lungs, and keep moving forward towards the person you want to be, hope to be, dream to be. Hard work makes you more self-sufficient, and allows you to discover what kind of person you are: Your strengths, wildest dreams, talents, and opening your eyes to what you want out of life.

I've recently become invested again in an avid passion of mine, and I have renewed faith in what my purpose in life is. That sounds corny, but hear me out: 

By committing myself to something, and by emersing myself in my passion, by strengthening my voice, I feel like I have a purpose to bring energy and life to my passion, and to the people with whom I work. That is the greatest blessing, since I often struggle to find and remember my purpose in life, and why I should keep fighting to a space where I will be okay one day. My passion reminds me that I deserve to love myself, because I produce unique talents that can't possibly be replicated by any other person.

We all have something valuable to contribute to the people around us. We have a duty to love ourselves, and be kind to one another. 

We are here to bring joy, spread love, and ignite passion.
