Zodiac Confusions

"I am a little bit insecure, a little unconfident
Cause you don't understand I do what I can but sometimes I don't make sense"

          -Faint by Linkin Park

So by now, most of you have probably heard about the whole Zodiac signs changing and all that. But what most people don't realize is that it doesn't affect us here in America. Something about how we use a different version of the signs and all that, I don't really even fully understand it. But anyway, this whole situation inspired me to do a little research.
My birthday is on November 22, which is right on the cusp of the Sagittarius sign. However, some Horoscopes identify it as being a Scorpio. So I usually just read both Horoscopes and combine them somehow, since I guess it could go either way. Anyway, the description of a Sagittarius is this:

Optimistic, Freedom-Loving, Jovial, Good-Humored, Honest, Straightforward, Intellectual and Philosophical, Blindly Optimistic, Careless, Irresponsible, Superficial, Tactless and Restless.  While Sagittarians are the nomads of the Zodiac, they do not wander aimlessly. They are seekers of the truth and will go anywhere and talk to anyone for answers to their questions. Knowledge and wisdom drive them and provide the energy for their liberal approach to life. Sagittarians are drawn to the philosophical and spiritual because these subjects provide answers to the questions that burn inside them.

Sagittarians are the intellectuals of the Zodiac. They are lucid thinkers who appreciate others agreeing with their conclusions. Sometimes they are so confident their deductions are beyond dispute they become dogmatic and argumentative. Still, the Sagittarian quest for information drives them to listen to anyone and absorb what they find useful and quickly disregard the rest.

It is the nature of Sagittarians to roam freely. If they feel intellectually or physically restricted they may become bad-tempered very quickly. When Sagittarians are given the freedom they need they are kind, optimistic, lucky and not afraid of taking an occasional risk. They are also a charming lot who can be self-indulgent procrastinators. Overall, Sagittarians allowed the freedom they need are a delight to be around.

Which pretty much describes me, especially that part about being so confident in what they know that they often won't accept any other reality. I am probably one of the most stubborn people you will ever meet. I get that from my mother, and its one of my most annoying traits. I hate it. Also the part about not liking to be tied down in one place for too long. I love traveling, it takes my mind off all my worries at home. I usually jump at every chance I get to get outta my house.
But here's the description for Scorpio:

Determined, Forceful, Emotional, Intuitive, Powerful, Passionate, Exciting and Magnetic, Jealous, Resentful, Compulsive, Obsessive, Secretive and Obstinate.  Intuitive and ever curious, Scorpios are the great investigators of the Zodiac. They want to know everything about everyone. When an answer is needed, a Scorpio will find it for you. Unfortunately Scorpios seem to see only in black and white. They always have their own agenda and never fail to promote it.

Scorpios are the masters of their fate. They know only one way to live: on their own terms. They do not live life but attack it. When life hands them a loss, they do not waste time sulking, but rather continue on their path, sure they will eventually succeed. Scorpios are driven by their intense passions and desires. Often they are seen as imperious.

Scorpios are a secretive lot. Those around them may never know the depth of their passions. Probing the Scorpio psyche will only make them leery and cause them to flee. Whether in business or play, Scorpios love to compete. Indeed to do well, they must have an opponent. Scorpios do not take slights well. If you cross them be assured they will retaliate with their full force. Scorpios never quit and never surrender. If anyone can get a difficult task done it is a Scorpio.

That last paragraph is amazingly true. I hate talking about myself or anything to do with me. And if anyone asks me how I feel or what I want to do, my answer is usually a shrug followed by "It doesn't matter to me." even though most of the time I have some sort of opinion about it. I hate being asked questions like that. It's always been that way.

So I guess I'm a half-and-half. Half Sagittarius, half Scorpio. Of course, this only makes things more difficult on my part. But I'll live. Was complaining in either of those descriptions anywhere? ;)
