Female, Aquarius sun, Sagittarius moon, mercury in Capricorn.
How open are you? Are you more open minded than narrow minded?
Ideally, I would like to say I am open minded, but I do have a tendency to think my way is the right way and anyone that does otherwise is deviant. I think my Sag moon makes me want to explore and learn new things, especially religion or philosophy, and my Aquarius sun makes me accepting of others as a whole. Mercury in Capricorn does make me more conservative and rigid in my thinking, and it think the fixed quality my sun sign is a factor as well. I'm generally kind to others who have different beliefs from me on a social level. I would never treat them badly or act as if I'm better than them. I think when I'm speaking of an idea in a broad, general sense, and not relating it to a specific person or group of people, that's when I can become very narrow minded. I accept that other people think differently from me and I would never act on my disdain (unless it were something truly awful), but I do feel that my beliefs are right and best and others would be much better off if they adopted them. It's difficult trying to balance this sometimes!
How could you be more open even after betrayal?
Once someone has betrayed me and lost my trust it is never the same. Depending on how serious it was I might continue to be friends, but I'll stop taking advice and confiding in them. I'll just smile and nod and they'll probably never know how I actually feel. If it was really awful, you're gone. I will freeze you out. I try not to carry my trust issues from person to person though. I'm a little guarded initially, hesitant to volunteer personal information about myself, but once I feel I can trust you it's fine. But I do keep a look out for any sketchy behavior, just in case.
Does this bother you when meeting someone new or you're in a relationship?
Mmmmm not really. It depends. If they are narrow minded towards me, like my religion or race, that's a no go. I definitely can't stand racists, sexists, religious extremists. You can be strong-willed and have strong opinions about things without being bigoted or ignorant, so as long as that isn't an issue I can tolerate someone at the very least.
I'm not one to naturally go with the flow, but I'm realizing that certain situations call for it. I do have a HUGE need to control my own life, and I can only go with the flow for a short period before I freak out.
At the end of the day, people do what they want. As much it infuriates me to see someone do something I strongly disagree with, I have to remind myself to not waste the energy getting all riled up about it. It doesn't affect me and I really shouldn't care.
