"Sun: ScorpioProgressive Sun (Starts at a certain age, depending on what degree your sun sign is in.): SagittariusAscendant: Virgo Moon: Libra I'm not really on the Scorp/Sag Cusp according to most Astrology sources in general, but I realize that I'm a 25th Degree Scorp going on Sag, because a lot of the more outward energy I can have at times (ie: philosophy, good-sporting sense, casual sillyness, and sometimes a lack of responsibility in attitude and action!) has absolutely nothing to do with Scorpion energy. The two signs are quite unalike in their choices and such. I originally chose my name, Elliot of the High Scorpios, because I always thought that I must be one of those 'Eagle Scorpios' since, in retrospect, I know I must've felt something about myself that, on occassion, wasn't all Scorpio-like. After more time I started attributing things to my Libra Moon that I shouldn't have. Fact of the matter is, even though I'm supposedly not close enough to the ""Cusp of Revolution"" to be half Scorp and half Sadge, I did get a piece of that Cusp. So now I think my little DXP name suits me just fine. It's this ""Heart of the Galaxy Cusp"" (Scorpio/Sagittarius) that makes me who I am. A Scorpio who occassionally adopts the overall bossiness and outward energy of Sagittarius, in fact, usually I'm a Scorpio at home or where I feel at home, whereas in public areas or any place in which I can deal with a large amount of people at once, I tend to let myself be much more footloose, wild, and even bordering animalistic like a Sadge.Zodiacs (Contribute any if you can.) -The Physical Zodiac (Understand this one well.

Gemini: ""Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth; We are happy when we are growing."" ""Life is a library owned by an author. It has a few books which he wrote himself, but most of them were written for him.""

""We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about."" ""Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes."" ""Enthusiasm is contagious. Be a carrier."" ""You delight in laying down laws, yet you delight more in breaking them.

Taurus: Denial - person refuses to accept a fact or something obvious as true for a sense of security. Gemini: Affiliation - person seeks to gain all the benefits of counsel and socialization of their problems to cope. Cancer: Regression - person suffers a loss of form and reverts to an earlier stage of development in facing unacceptable impulses. Leo: Assertion - person expresses themselves directly in dealing with stressors but may be inapproriately protective of their ego. Virgo: Intellectualization - person has cognitive awareness lacking the accompanying emotions in order to suppress and strive for mastery over impulses overwhelming in potential and perceived as disorderly. Libra: Repression - person involuntarily excludes painful or conflictual things of mind to reduce anxiety to cope and avoid impulses that may provoke disharmony. Scorpio: Displacement - person is upset about something they can't control and therefore take their feelings out on something they can control. Sagittarius: Rationalization - person makes up apparently logical and socially acceptable reasons to justify a conflictual act or thought (which is often unconscious) by simplifying. Capricorn: Compensation - person seeks to counterbalance perceived inadequacies by boasting strength in areas of supposed greater importance. Aquarius: Isolation - person splits the emotional components from a thought (it's sometimes only temporarily). Pisces: Fantasy - person handles stressors by excessive dreaming (and often compulsive lying) as substitution for relationships, effective action, or problem solving. For the record, the method that is deemed the only HEALTHY defense mechanism is 'Sublimation', which is when a person intentionally redirects instinctual drives from unacceptable impulses into something more productive. -The Bodily Zodiac Aries: Head (Generally) - allowing the body fighting chance to live and learn in its environment, so that without pause it may become and lead itself. Taurus: Neck and Throat - allowing the body a passage to survive by its environment, to stabilize its head, and to condition itself. Gemini: Breath, Lungs, Arms, and Nervous System - allowing the body to coordinate itself and cooperate with its immediate environment. Cancer: Chest, Breasts, and Stomach - allowing the body to care for, feed, and grow itself and its own in the environment, naturally. Leo: Heart and Upper Back - allowing the body to support and sustain itself with the pumping of power and the strength for life in its environment. Virgo: Abdominal Region and Digestive System - allowing the body to breakdown, sort, mix, and stash all intake of its environment. Libra: Skin, Kidneys, and Buttocks - allowing the body to maintain balance of internal drives, and evaluate and respond to the environment. Scorpio: Genital Organs and Anus - allowing the body inlets and outlets to merge with its environment, to eliminate the toxins of waste, and to renew life. Sagittarius: Hips, Thighs, and Muscles - allowing the body extension of itself and thickness of st
