Just for a bit of fun!
If you could have a either:
A). Load (body-weight) bearing wings OR
B). Prehensile tail


Which would you choose? & why?
State your Sun/ Mars and Rising

Me: Prehensile tail.
Why: Tails are sassy and expressive: cats/ dogs, monkeys, rattlesnakes etc, how handy would it be to forever hook your keys over/ hold your wine glass/ hold your microphone during karaoke? extra stability for extra high heels 🙂 easy to accessorize.
Wings would be cool to actually use to fly... except they'd be enormous and cumbersome when not in use.

Sun: Scorp
Mars: Sagi
Rising: Aqua

Wings, assuming they would be operational and not merely decorative. Reasons being:

1. I'm somewhat afraid of heights and having the ability to fly would help me conquer it. Hopefully.

2. Having wings would work my muscles and give me definition. I would never develop back fat or what I call "Oprah arms". Hopefully.

Sun: Virgo
Mars: Leo
Rising: Cancer



Yep- they'd be load bearing.
Your traps and delts would be amazing!!!

Mars Leo- off to wave a the sun 🙂

But... Virgo sun, you're bound to knock things over with your wings = mess!!! 😛

Ooh... I need Robyn in here to work out the probabilities, and Monty to let me know if I'm asking the right aspects?!!?!



Gads, idk-- but that sounds good to me; Mars is how we assert ourselves, right?

Yeah. 😉


And I have to go for tail, since everyone else has wings-- we will be the more exotic of the two.


(Until we all interbreed and look like flying monkeys) 😕

Then they're both awesome but impractical, a unretractable tail could get caught in a revolving door or elevator and that wouldn't be pretty. Likewise, it'd be hard and uncomfortable to hide wings in your clothes and if somehow saw them, it wouldn't be pretty. And you'd probably end up as a test subject, so I wouldn't choose either. But for the sake of this question......tail.

Jahlia!!! You and your practi-cap-ality! 🙂
I kid... you remind me of a very good friend who when I'm off chasing rainbows will look at me and say "well... you can do x, but you will need to do XYZ first or otherwise it won't work" 🙂
